  • HOLY HOLY HOLY

    Call to Worship: Psalm 16

    One of the reasons we gather is to set the Lord before our eyes again. To be reminded that for all who are in Christ, our lives are held secure in His perfect life and work. Let’s sing about who he is and what he’s done:

  • THE SOLID ROCK

  • WHAT YOU SAID

    Scripture tells us that the foolishness of God is still wiser than the wisdom of man. God is good, but sometimes it does not feel like He is good. Because He is more than we could understand. I think the disciples felt similarly as they saw the resurrected Jesus - don’t go, stay, we want to hold on to you! And Jesus says, it is better that I go, because when I go I will send to you a Helper - the Holy Spirit who will convict of sin, comfort you in your affliction, remind you what I have said, be the sign, seal, and guarantee of your salvation. This morning is Pentecost Sunday, where we remember and celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit to indwell the life of every believer. We are going to take a minute now to thank God for His Spirit, I will read these words, and then together we will pray:

Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation:

Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

  • HOUSE OF THE LORD

    Good morning Life Church, and welcome to worship with us on this Memorial Day Weekend, and this Family Worship Weekend. One of the reasons that we can gather in freedom to worship in this country is that for generations men and women have laid down their lives to secure and sustain the freedoms we enjoy. That is what our culture is celebrating this weekend, and that is right and good. But what we know as followers of Christ is that the freedoms we enjoy in this country are only a shadow of the freedom that ours in and through Christ. Because He has set us free from the law of sin and death. Let’s celebrate the freedom that we have in this country, but if you are here this morning as a follower of Christ, let’s celebrate the freedom that is ours through Christ. Let’s hear God call us to worship from His word:

    Call to Worship: Psalm 1:1-2

    Let’s look to Christ, the One who fulfills the law.

  • ALL I HAVE IS CHRIST

  • BE THOU MY VISION

    Sermon: Exodus 20:1-3

    Everyone, everywhere, always, is a worshiper. But right worship begins not with us, but when God reveals Himself as the only one worthy of our worship - ‘I AM the Lord your God, worship me alone.’ Right worship is a result of the Holy Spirit leading you in all truth to behold the person and work of Christ. And this morning is Pentecost Sunday, the day when the global church remembers and celebrates the sending of the Holy Spirit to indwell and empower the life of every believer. To empower right worship. And so as we remember this day and the sending of the spirit we are going to pray these words together. I will read this through one time so you can hear these words, and then together we will pray these words.

Almighty God, on this day, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

  • ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING

    Call to Worship: Psalm 99:1-5

    This morning marks 40 days since Easter Sunday, which means today is Pentecost Sunday in the Global Church Calendar - a day where we celebrate the sending of the Holy Spirit. And if you are here this morning as someone who confesses Jesus Christ as Lord and King with more than your mouth and your songs, but with your life, that is not something that you have done on your own, it is the Holy Spirit who has opened your eyes to behold the truth of who Jesus is and what He has done. So let’s pray as we worship and sing this morning that the Holy Spirit will continue to open our eyes to behold Jesus as Lord of lords, and King of kings…

  • KING OF KINGS

  • IS HE WORTHY

    Sermon: James 2:14-26

    Works are a natural result of real, saving faith. In the same way, a tree does not have to labor over producing fruit, so a believer - empowered by the Holy Spirit - will naturally become people who love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength, producing works that glorify God and bless the world. Let’s sing:

  • 10,000 REASONS (BLESS THE LORD)

  • BUILD MY LIFE

    Benediction
