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

Clement (2nd Century)

O God Almighty, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, grant us, we pray thee, to be grounded and settled in the truth, by the coming down of the Holy Spirit into our hearts. That which we know not, reveal; that which is wanting in us, fill up; that which we know, confirm, and keep us blameless in thy service; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 96: 1-13

LEADER

O sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all the earth. Sing to the LORD, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples. For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; he is to be revered above all gods. For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens. Honor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

ALL

Say among the nations, “The LORD is king! The world is firmly established; it shall never be moved. He will judge the peoples with equity.” Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it. Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD; for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with his truth.

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.

Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days

Oh so highly exalted Glorious in Heaven above

Humbly You came

To the Earth You created

All for love’s sake became poor

So here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say

That You’re my God

You’re altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

And I’ll never know

How much it cost

To see my sin

Upon that cross

And I’ll never know

How much it cost

To see my sin

Upon that cross

And I’ll never know

How much it cost

To see my sin

Upon that cross

And I’ll never know

How much it cost

To see my sin

Upon that cross

So here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

So here I am to worship

Here I am to bow down

Here I am to say

That You’re my God

You’re altogether lovely

Altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

Be Thou My Vision

CCLI Song # 7056332 Eleanor Henrietta Hull | Mary Elizabeth Byrne | Russell Mauldin

Be Thou my vision

O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me

Save that Thou art

Thou my best thought

By day or by night

Waking or sleeping

Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom

And Thou my true word

I ever with Thee

And Thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father

I Thy true son

Thou in me dwelling

And I with Thee one

Riches I heed not

Nor man’s empty praise

Thou mine inheritance

Now and always

Thou and Thou only

First in my heart

High King of Heaven

My treasure Thou art

High King of Heaven

My victory won

May I reach Heaven’s joys

O bright Heav’n’s sun

Heart of my own heart

Whate’er befall

Still be my vision

O ruler of all

Still be my vision

O ruler of all

CONFESSION OF SIN

LEADER

Draw us into your love, Christ Jesus, and deliver us from fear.

ALL

Gracious Lord: We confess that we often honor you with our lips while our hearts are far from you. We are content to appear righteous instead of truly being righteous. Please search our hearts, examine our motives, and forgive our faults. We turn from our lack of love and self centeredness. Awaken us to your glory, and send us your Spirit to renew and change our hearts. Help us to hear your good voice today above the noise and clamor of this world, so that we may follow you alone. Amen.

SILENT CONFESSION

GRACE ASSURANCE

Based on 1 Thessalonians 1:9-10

LEADER

You have deserted the dead idols of your old life so you could embrace and serve God, the true God. It is a marvel how you await the arrival of his Son, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescued us from certain doom.

HYMN

Jesus Is

CCLI Song # 7243929 Natalie Leonhard CCLI License # 20115471

I may be troubled and full of care

But I'm not broken beyond repair

When I am worried, I cling to this

I am no saviour, but Jesus Is

I may be walking the road of pain

But he will guide me along the way

So I’ll keep singing ‘cause even if

I am no shepherd, Jesus is

Jesus is Jesus is

When no one helped me, Jesus did

So I’ll keep singing ‘cause even if

I am no shepherd, Jesus is

I may be lonely without a friend

But I will carry my heart to him

He knows my sorrow, my grief is his

I am no healer, oh but Jesus is

Jesus is Jesus is

When no one heard me, my Jesus did

He knows my sorrow, my grief is his

I am no healer, but Jesus is

My eyes are weary the night is long

But I’ll wait for Jesus until he comes

To reign forever, world without end

I’m not so patient, but Jesus is

Jesus is Jesus is

So I’ll keep waiting like Jesus did

He'll reign forever, world without end

I’m not so patient, but Jesus is

I am no saviour, but Jesus is

LIFE OF HOPE

SCRIPTURE READING

Old Testament

Malachi 2:4-9

New Testament

Mark 12:38-40

SERMON

45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples,

46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows’ houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” 21 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.”

Luke 20:45–21:4

PROFESSION OF FAITH

Heidelberg Catechism #111

LEADER

What does God require of you in the 8th commandment?

ALL

I must promote my neighbor's good wherever I can, and may deal with them as I would like others to deal with me, and work faithfully so that I may be able to give to those in need.

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

In Christ Alone

CCLI Song # 3350395 Keith Getty | Stuart Townend

In Christ alone

My hope is found

He is my light

My strength, my song

This cornerstone

This solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love

What depths of peace

When fears are stilled

When strivings cease

My comforter

My all in all

Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone

Who took on flesh

Fullness of God

In helpless babe

This gift of love

And righteousness

Scorned by the ones

He came to save

’Til on that cross

As Jesus died

The wrath of God

Was satisfied

For every sin

On Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground

His body lay

Light of the world

By darkness slain

Then bursting forth

In glorious day

Up from the grave

He rose again

And as He stands

In victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His

And He is mine

Bought with the precious blood

Of Christ

No guilt in life

No fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry

To final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell

No scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

’Til He returns

Or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ

I'll stand

No power of hell

No scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

’Til He returns

Or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Nothing To Fear

CCLI Song # 7133723 - CCLI License # 201154711

When you pass through the waters

I will be with you

And the depths of the rivers

shall not overwhelm

When you walk through the fire,

you will not be burned

I am the Lord, I am the Lord

And there is nothing to fear nothing to fear

There is nothing to fear nothing to fear

For I am with you always

In the depths of your sorrow,

I wept beside you

When you walked through the shadow,

I drew you near

Yesterday, today, tomorrow,

always the same

I am the Lord, I am the Lord

And there is nothing to fear nothing to fear

There is nothing to fear nothing to fear

For I am with you always

And there is nothing to fear nothing to fear

There is nothing to fear nothing to fear

For I am with you always

What can separate you from my perfect love

What can separate you from my perfect love

What can separate you from my perfect love

Do not fear, do not fear, do not fear

BENEDICTION

Romans 8:38-39

LEADER

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.
