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
We ask you, Lord Jesus, that to whom you vouchsafe sweet draughts of the words of your knowledge, you will also, of your goodness, grant that we may in due time come to you, the fountain of all wisdom, and ever stand before your face; for your sake. Amen.
CALL TO WORSHIP
Matthew 11:28; Doxologia Minor
LEADER
Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest."
ALL
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
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.
PRAYER OF INVOCATION
HYMNS
O Come To The Altar
CCLI Song # 7051511 Chris Brown | Mack Brock | Steven Furtick | Wade Joye
Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself?
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today, there's no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Oh what a Savior
Isn't He wonderful
Sing Alleluia!
Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Alleluia!
Christ is risen
Oh what a Savior
Isn't He wonderful
Sing Alleluia!
Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Alleluia!
Christ is risen
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you've found
Come Thou Fount
CCLI Song # 108389 John Wyeth | Robert Robinson
Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
CONFESSION OF SIN
LEADER
Draw us into your love, Christ Jesus, and deliver us from fear.
ALL
Lord, we are like sheep, and we get lost. We forget the needs of our neighbors and do not love you above all else. We need a Savior, so we long for Jesus. Come, fill our lives, Jesus. Amen.
SILENT CONFESSION
GRACE ASSURANCE
Psalm 103:8-13
LEADER
The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our iniquities. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. As a father has compassion for his children, so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him.
HYMN
I Boast No More
CCLI Song # 3420775 Isaac Watts | Sandra McCracken
No more, my God, I boast no more
Of all the duties I have done;
I quit the hopes I held before,
To trust the merits of Thy Son
No more my God,
No more my God,
No more my God,
I boast no more.
Now, for the loss I bear His name,
What was my gain I count my loss;
My former pride I call my shame,
And nail my glory to His cross.
No more my God,
No more my God,
No more my God,
I boast no more.
Yes, and I must and will esteem
All things but loss for Jesus’ sake;
O may my soul be found in Him,
And of His righteousness partake!
No more my God,
No more my God,
No more my God,
I boast no more.
The best obedience of my hands
Dares not appear before Thy throne;
But faith can answer Thy demands,
By pleading what my Lord has done.
No more my God,
No more my God,
No more my God,
I boast no more.
No more my God,
No more my God,
No more my God,
I boast no more.

SERMON
Slide 1
1:17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you spiritual wisdom and revelation in your growing knowledge of him, 1:18—since the eyes of your heart have been enlightened—so that you may know what is the hope of his calling, what is the wealth of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 1:19 and what is the incomparable greatness of his power toward us who believe, as displayed in the exercise of his immense strength. 1:20 This power he exercised in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms 1:21 far above every rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. (Eph 1:15–21, NET)

PROFESSION OF FAITH
Heidelberg Catechism #1
LEADER
What is your only comfort in life and death?
ALL
That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood and has set me free from all the power of the devil. He also preserves me in such a way that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. Therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for him.
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
Amazing Grace
CCLI Song # 4755360 John Newton
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
And when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun
Restore Us Again
CCLI Song # 7116573 Paul Zach
We longed for Egypt in the wilderness
A kingdom made of dust
Built an idol out of happiness
A paradise of rust
We lost all the meaning
Drowned out the feeling
Our hearts barely beating
Restore us again, God of our salvation
Revive us again in Your unfailing love
Restore us again, God of our salvation
Revive us again in Your unfailing love
We have trusted in the meaningless
And chased a life of ease
Now we wander in the shadow lands
Where comfort is our king
We lost all the meaning
Drowned out the feeling
Our hearts barely beating
Restore us again, God of our salvation
Revive us again in Your unfailing love
Restore us again, God of our salvation
Revive us again in Your unfailing love
Holy Spirit bring us life once again
Holy Spirit lead our hearts back to You
Holy Spirit bring us life once again
Holy Spirit lead our hearts back to You
BENEDICTION
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever he may send you; may he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm; may he bring you home rejoicing, at the wonders he has shown you; may he bring you home rejoicing, once again into our doors.

We all know that the university is meant to equip people with knowledge and skill for meaningful work. But is there more to life than having a good job?

What if what we’re really looking for is wisdom? Join us as we learn from Dr. Zack Eswine, author of Wiser with Jesus, as we explore together what it might mean to be a wise person in God’s world.
