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.
Cover Art: Kristen Calhoun
CALL TO WORSHIP
Based on Psalm 77:10-12
LEADER
To this we will appeal: the years when the Most High stretched out his right hand.
ALL
We will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, we will remember his miracles of long ago. We will consider all his works and meditate on all his mighty deeds.
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.

HYMNS
Lord, I Need You
CCLI Song # 5925687 Christy Nockels | Daniel Carson | Jesse Reeves | Kristian Stanfill | Matt Mahe
Lord I come I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
And without You I fall apart
You're the one that guides my heart
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are Lord I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus You're my hope and stay
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
Lord I need You oh I need You
Ev'ry hour I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
My one defense my righteousness
Oh God how I need You
How Deep The Father’s Love
CCLI Song # 1558110 Stuart Townend
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
CONFESSION OF SIN
Book of Common Prayer
ALL
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. Apart from your grace, there is no health in us. O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare all those who confess their faults. Restore all those who repent, according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
SILENT CONFESSION
GRACE ASSURANCE
Book of Common Prayer
LEADER
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, desires not the death of sinners, but that they may turn from evil and live. He pardons and absolves all who truly repent and genuinely believe his holy Gospel. For this reason, we ask him to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that our present deeds may please him, the rest of our lives may be pure and holy, and that at the last we may come to his eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
HYMN
The Goodness of Jesus
CCLI Song # 7121854 Fiona Aghajanian | Harrison Druery | Jaywan Maxwell | Jonny Robinson | Michael Farren | Rich Thompson
Come you weary heart now to Jesus
Come you anxious soul now and see
There is perfect love
And comfort in your tears
Rest here in His wondrous peace
Oh the goodness,
The goodness of Jesus
Satisfied He is all that I need
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus
Come find what this world cannot offer
Come and find your joy here complete
Taste the living water
Never thirst again
Rest here in His wondrous peace
Oh the goodness,
The goodness of Jesus
Satisfied He is all that I need
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus
Come and find your hope now in Jesus
He is all He said He would be
Grace is overflowing
From the Savior’s heart
Rest here in His wondrous peace
Oh the goodness,
The goodness of Jesus
Satisfied He is all that I need
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus
Oh the goodness,
The goodness of Jesus
Satisfied He is all that I need
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus
May it be, come what may
That I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus

SCRIPTURE READING
Luke 21:29-33
LEADER
The Word of the Lord
ALL
Thanks be to God
SERMON
Slide 1
32 “Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. 33 Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. (Luke 21:32–33)
Slide 2
34 “Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you suddenly like a trap. 35 For it will come on all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36 Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.”
Slide 3
37 Each day Jesus was teaching at the temple, and each evening he went out to spend the night on the hill called the Mount of Olives, 38 and all the people came early in the morning to hear him at the temple. (Luke 21:34–38)
Slide 4
29 He told them this parable: “Look at the fig tree and all the trees. 30 When they sprout leaves, you can see for yourselves and know that summer is near. 31 Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that the kingdom of God is near. (Luke 21:29–31)
Slide 5
“...that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man.” (21:36)
Slide 6
“For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face (πρόσωπον πρὸς πρόσωπον; פנים אלֶ־פנים). Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known” (1 Cor 13:12).
PROFESSION OF FAITH
The Apostles' Creed
ALL
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
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
Holy Forever
CCLI Song # 7201044 Brian Johnson | Chris Tomlin | Jason Ingram | Jenn Johnson | Phil Wickham
A thousand generations falling down in worship
To sing the song of ages to the Lamb
And all who've gone before us
And all who will believe
Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
And the angels cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
You are lifted high Holy
Holy forever
If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name
Sing the song forever to the Lamb
We'll sing the song forever and amen
And the angels cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
You are lifted high Holy
Holy forever
Hear Your people sing Holy
To the King of Kings Holy
You will always be Holy
Holy forever
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
Your name is the highest
Your name is the greatest
Your name stands above them all
All thrones and dominions
All powers and positions
Your name stands above them all
And the angels cry Holy
All creation cries Holy
You are lifted high Holy Holy forever
Hear Your people sing Holy
To the King of Kings Holy
You will always be Holy
Holy forever
You will always be Holy
Holy forever
You will always be Holy
Holy forever

BENEDICTION
Go forth in peace and remember. Remember the faith of those who have labored in this corner of God’s Kingdom we call Hope. Remember both the joys you have shared and the sorrows you have carried for one another. Remember the grace that God has supplied this body of believers through every season. As you celebrate the stories of his work among us, may remembering be for you an exercise in true hope—anticipating the Lord’s future kindness because you have experienced his past faithfulness. And may the love that first brought Hope together continue to grow among you, to the glory of God. Amen.

We all know that the university is meant to be a place of learning. It's meant to equip people with knowledge and skill for meaningful work. But is there more to life than having a good job? And in a world where the advancement of AI brings ever more uncertainty, is mere knowledge and skill enough? What is needed to flourish as human beings in our distracted, anxious, and contentious world? 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. Light refreshments will be provided, and there will be time for audience Q&A. Seating is limited, so please RSVP at the Carmen House website by November 19th.
