WELCOME TO HOPE

It is our mission to extend the welcome of Jesus, and we hope that is what you experience. We also think it might be helpful to share a few things about this booklet you are holding.

It contains a liturgy.

A liturgy is a handcrafted order of worship. Like an artisan, we aim to collect all the varied pieces of gathered worship, and then place them together in the most beautiful and purposeful way possible: a way that honors you as a participant who engages with God and not a mere consumer, and a way that is relevant to our cultural moment but honors the historic and global church.

It is beautiful.

Members of hope create the cover art, the leaders of hope craft the content, and our connect card is a way to initiate relationship, the most beautiful part of hope.

REFLECTION

Bede, 7th century

“The grace of our Creator is so great that he has allowed us both to know him and to love him, and moreover, to love him as children love a wonderful father. It would be no small thing if we were able to love God in the way that a servant loves his master or a worker his employer. But loving God as father is much greater still.”

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 34:1-5

LEADER

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!

ALL

I sought the LORD, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears. Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.

DOXOLOGY

Lyrics: Thomas Ken, 1674

Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

Praise him all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host;

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Holy, holy, holy!

Lord God, almighty

Early in the morning

Our song shall rise to Thee

Holy, holy, holy!

Merciful and mighty

God in three persons

All the saints adore Thee

Casting down their golden crowns

Around the glassy sea

Cherubim and seraphim

Falling down before Thee

Who wert and art

And evermore shall be

Holy, holy, holy!

Though the darkness hide Thee

Though the eye of sinful man

Thy glory may not see

Only Thou art holy

There is none beside Thee

Perfect in power, in love, and purity

Holy, holy, holy!

Lord God, almighty

All Thy works shall praise

Thy name In earth, and sky, and sea

Holy, holy, holy!

Merciful and mighty

God in three persons

CONFESSION OF SIN

ALL

God of mercy, whose Son, Jesus Christ, beckons us with the wide embrace of his love: We confess that we have been a wayward child. We have not listened to your call; we have been cold to your love. Your people too often fail to reflect your character to a watching world. In your great mercy, receive us again as your beloved children, not because we have earned your love, but for the sake of Jesus, who loved us and gave himself for us. Amen.

SILENT CONFESSION

GRACE ASSURANCE

1 John 3:1-2

LEADER

See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God’s children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when he appears we shall be like him, because we shall see him as he is.

HYMN

Abide With Me

By: Henry Francis Lyte, William Henry Monk

Abide with me

Falls the eventide

The darkness deepens

Lord with me abide

When other helpers Fail and comforts flee

Help of the helpless

Abide with me

Thou on my head

In early youth didst smile

And though rebellious

And perverse meanwhile

Thou hast not left me

Oft as I left Thee

On to the close Lord

Abide with me

I need Thy presence

Every passing hour

What but Thy grace

Can foil the tempter’s power?

Who, like Thyself

My guide and stay can be?

Through cloud and sunshine

Abide with me

I fear no foe

With Thee at hand to bless

Ills have no weight

Tears lose their bitterness

Where is thy sting death?

Where grave thy victory?

I triumph still

Abide with me

Hold Thou Thy cross

Before my closing eyes

Shine through the gloom

And point me to the skies

Heaven’s morning breaks

And earth’s vain shadows flee

In life, in death, Lord

Abide with me

SERMON

Luke 21:20-28

Slide 1

“Every single day, we are on trial. That is the way that everyone’s identity works. In the courtroom you have he prosecution and the defense. And everything we do is providing evidence for the prosecution or evidence for the defense. Some days we feel we are winning the trial and other days we feel we are losing it.” -Tim Keller

Slide 2

20 “When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. 21 Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the city get out, and let those in the country not enter the city. 22 For this is the time of punishment in fulfillment of all that has been written. 23 How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. 24 They will fall by the sword and will be taken as prisoners to all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

(Luke 21:20–24)

Slide 3

25 “There will be signs in the sun, moon and stars. On the earth, nations will be in anguish and perplexity at the roaring and tossing of the sea. 26 People will faint from terror, apprehensive of what is coming on the world, for the heavenly bodies will be shaken. 27 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.” (Luke 21:25–27)

28 When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.”

(Luke 21:28)

PROFESSION OF FAITH

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

THE LORD’S SUPPER

1 Corinthians 11:23–26

The Lord Jesus, on the night when he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body which is broken for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."

HYMNS

Establish the Works of Our Hands

If You don't build it we labor in vain

Without Your Spirit we stand with no strength

I know my time is passing away

And the works of Your hands are what will remain

Let the favor of the Lord rest upon us

O Lord establish the work of our hands

Teach us to number the length of our days

Pour out Your power we'll pour out Your praise

Teach us to run to finish the race

For only what's done in love will remain

Let the favor of the Lord rest upon us

O Lord establish the work of our hands

Hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah

Goodness of God

CCLI # 7117726 | Ed Cash and Jenn Johnson

I love You Lord

Oh Your mercy never fails me All my days

I've been held in Your hands

From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head

I will sing

Of the goodness of God

All my life

You have been faithful

All my life

You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able I will sing

Of the goodness of God

I love Your voice

You have led me through the fire In darkest nights

You are close like no other

I've known You as a father I've known

You as a friend I have lived

In the goodness of God

All my life

You have been faithful

All my life

You have been so, so good

With every breath that I am able I will sing

Of the goodness of God
