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.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Jeremiah 17:5-8
LEADER
This is what the Lord says: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the Lord. They are like stunted shrubs in the desert, with no hope for the future. They will live in the barren wilderness, in an uninhabited salty land.
ALL
“But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit.”
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.

Missing Not One
Will Duvall | CCLI #71119943
Missing, not one
In the starry hosts displayed.
Created for the glory of
The one who calls them each by name
Holy, holy, holy is the
Lord, God who reigns
With power and in mercy as
The universe proclaims.
How deep, how wide
How long, how high is the
Perfect love of Christ
Perfect love of Christ
Nothing can separate us
No, not one thing could ever
Take us from the
Perfect love of Christ
Perfect love of Christ
Missing, not one
From before the world was made
Sinners ransomed for the glory of
The one who calls them each by name
Holy, holy, Holy is the
Lord god who reigns
With scars in his hands and feet,
The wounds that still proclaim
How deep, how wide
How long, how high is
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
Nothing can separate us
No, not one thing could ever take us from
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
Missing not one
Of our sins and our mistakes
Our wasted years of guilt and shame
Our brokenness, our tears our pain
Missing not one
No, not one, He brings them all under
The blood of the cross
He forgives and he redeems them all
How deep, how wide
How long, how high is
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
Nothing can separate us
No, not one thing could ever take us from
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
The perfect love of Christ
Lord Have Mercy
CCLI Song # 2989578 Steve Merkel © 2000 Integrity's Hosanna! Music CCLI License # 20115471
Jesus I’ve forgotten
The words that you have spoken
Promises that burned within my heart
Have now grown dim
With a doubting heart I follow
The paths of earthly wisdom
Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I have built an altar
Where I’ve worshipped things of man
I have taken journeys
That have drawn me far from you
Now I am returning
To your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions
Help me to love you again
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
I have longed to know you
And all your tender mercies
Like a river of forgiveness
Ever flowing without end
So I bow my heart before You
In the goodness of Your presence
Your grace forever shining
Like a beacon in the night
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Christ have mercy
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on us
CONFESSION OF SIN
ALL
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent, for the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
SILENT CONFESSION
Assurance of Pardon
Psalm 40:11
LEADER
As for you, O Lord, you will not restrain your mercy from me; your steadfast love and your faithfulness will ever preserve me!
HYMN
Blessed Assurance
CCLI Song # 7011451 Chris Brown | Fanny Jane Crosby | Mack Brock | Phoebe Palmer Knapp
Blessed assurance Jesus is mine
Oh what foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation purchase of God
Born of His Spirit washed in His blood
Perfect submission all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting looking above
Filled with His goodness lost in His love
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long

SCRIPTURE READING
Luke 20:19-26
SERMON
Slide 1
19 The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people. 20 Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be sincere. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said, so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. 21 So the spies questioned him: “Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 22 Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?” 23 He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24 “Show me a denarius. Whose image and inscription are on it?” “Caesar’s,” they replied. 25 He said to them, “Then give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” 26 They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent. (Luke 20:19–26)

Slide 3
Suscipe Prayer
Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own. You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it. Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.
PROFESSION OF FAITH
Heidelberg Catechism #32
LEADER
Why are you called a Christian?
ALL
Because by faith I am a member of Christ and so I share in his anointing. I am anointed to confess his name, to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks, to strive with a free conscience against sin and the devil in this life, and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation for eternity.
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
There is a Peace
Default Arrangement by Charlie Richardson © 2007 Sojourn Community Church CCLI Song # 5133888 -- CCLI License # 20115471 1
Come weary and tired
worn out from life
Step out of the shadows
and walk into light
Come sinner or saint
slave man or free
Bring blessings and offerings
Then you shall you see
There is a peace
to settle your soul
There is a peace
that is calling you home
You've been tempted and shaken
tested and failed
You've been so far from Jesus
and too close to hell
Your vision's been clouded
by the world's delight
But I tell you, you're not of this world
So stand up and fight
There is a peace
To settle your soul There is a peace
That is calling you home
There is a peace
To settle your soul
There is a peace
That is calling you home
There is a peace
Perfect and true
The Prince of Peace
Is calling for you
We Labor Unto Glory
CCLI Song # 7097869 Craig Harris | Isaac Wardell
My God, my God where e'er I go, glory
Where I reap and where I sow, glory
When my hands, they grip the thorn, glory
In the still and in the storm, glory, Glory
Oh we labor unto glory
Till heaven and earth are one
Oh we labor unto glory
Until God's kingdom comes
The sun, it shines and then goes down, glory
Rain, it pours and beats the ground, glory
Dust, it blows and ends my days, glory
Hearts, they burn beneath Your gaze, glory, Glory
Oh we labor unto glory
Till heaven and earth are one
Oh we labor unto glory
Until God's kingdom comes
My heart, my hands, they’re kingdom bound, glory
Where thorns no longer curse the ground, glory
Trim the wick, ignite the flame, glory
My work, it will not be in vain, glory, Glory
Oh we labor unto glory
Till heaven and earth are one
Oh we labor unto glory
Until God's kingdom comes
Oh we labor unto glory
Till heaven and earth are one
Oh we labor unto glory
Until God's kingdom comes
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.
