REJOICE
Welcome + Call to Worship: Psalm 111:1-4, 9
AND CAN IT BE
ALL HAIL KING JESUS
Let’s confess what we believe and what we celebrate this morning. I will read the parts marked ‘Leader,’ and together we’ll read the parts marked ‘All’:
Corporate Prayer:
Leader: Alleluia! Christ is risen.
All: He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
Leader: Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
All: He has given us new life and hope.
He has raised Jesus from the dead.
Leader: God has claimed us as his own.
All: He has brought us out of darkness.
He has made us light to the world.
Leader: Alleluia! Christ is risen.
All: He is risen indeed. Alleluia!
—based on 1 Peter 1:3-5 [From the Worship Sourcebook]
Sermon: Ephesians 2:4-7
Scripture tells us that we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Let’s sing this morning in light of that day - the further up, and further in revelation of God’s glory. Would you stand if you’re able:
O PRAISE THE NAME (ANÁSTASIS)
SON OF SUFFERING
Benediction: 1 Peter 1:3-4
