GRACE ALONE
THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD
Sermon: Luke 11:29-35
RESPONSIVE READING:
LEADER:
The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
ALL:
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the LORD
and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
LEADER:
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?
ALL:
The LORD, strong and mighty,
the LORD, mighty in battle!
LEADER:
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in.
Who is this King of glory?
ALL:
The LORD of hosts,
he is the King of glory!

WELCOME/CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 24:1-6
Pause prayer. We never leave the pieces of our hearts, minds, and lives at the door of the church, we bring them in, we leave them at the cross. We entrust our whole selves to Christ as we gaze at Him.

Welcome/Call To Worship: Isaiah 44:6-8
Corporate Confession:
We are not righteous, no, not one;
We do not understand;
We do not seek for God.
We all have turned aside; together we have become worthless,
Not one of us does good, not even one.
Our throats are an open grave, and we use our tongues to deceive.
Our lips are venomous, our mouths are full of curses and bitterness.
Our feet are swift to shed blood;
in our path there is ruin and misery,
and the way of peace we have not known.
There is no fear of God before our eyes.
From Romans 3:10-18

Sermon
CONFESSION: 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 and mind and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. In Your mercy forgive what we have been, help us amend what we are, and direct what we shall be, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways, to the glory of Your holy name. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Sermon: 'Christ Alone'
Benediction/Missional Blessing: Brothers and sisters, rest in the reality that your life is hidden with Christ in God. And God the Father is infinitely pleased with you, because God the Father is infinitely pleased with Christ the Son. By the power of His Holy Spirit, walk with God this week.
The second movement of the Gospel story liturgy is ‘The Fall.’
Sin has distorted, warped and broken everything and everyone. As we gather God’s people, some enter acutely aware of this reality – addiction, illness, suffering, death, fractured relationships, fears, the list is endless. Those people need to be reminded that they are not alone in their sin – here we are as a family of the wounded walking looking to our Suffering Servant King (Isaiah 53).
As we gather, some enter believing like the Pharisee’s that outward law keeping, rule following, a polished perfect life shakes free the stain of sin and makes us right with God. As we gather, some enter with an awareness of sin lying dormant, waiting to be awoken by the Holy Spirit.
It is the kindness of God that leads us to repentance, and repentance only comes with the illuminating work of the Holy Spirit (Rom 2:4). So we do not run from the reality of sin and brokenness in our world and in our lives as we gather. In fact, as we trust the kindness of God to reveal the beauty and perfection of Christ, we will come face to face with the depth of depravity that is the human heart… thankfully this is not where the story ends.
