RAISE A HALLELUJAH
Parent Commissioning
Let’s be reminded of why we gather:
Psalm 145:1-7
PROMISES
Scripture reminds us that God is faithful when we are faithless. You and I cannot save ourselves, we cannot try hard enough to be made right with God. We need to rest, trust, and abide in what Christ has done on our behalf. For the boys and the girls in the room, this next song is the song we sang together in the clubhouse last week. Let’s sing together:
ABIDE
Sermon: Ezekiel 36:24-28; Galatians 5:22-25
The life of faith is not a life of doing more and being better. We cannot produce faith in and of ourselves, faith is worked in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. In the same way, we can confess our faith through the words of the Apostles’ Creed, but to confess these words with our hearts and lives requires the empowering of the Holy Spirit. So I want to invite you to stand if you’re able, and confess not just with your mouth, but with your life, by the power of the Holy Spirit what we believe about our faith. Let’s confess together:

The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into 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.
