I will sing to and worship
The King who is worthy
And I will love and adore Him

You’re my Prince of Peace
And I will live my life for You

Song of Worship: Because He Lives

Verse 1
God sent His Son they called Him Jesus
He came to love heal and forgive
He bled and died to buy my pardon
An empty grave is there to prove
My Savior lives

Refrain
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
Because He lives all fear is gone
Because I know He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives

Verse 2
How sweet to hold our newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he brings
But greater still the calm assurance
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives

Verse 3
And then one day, I’ll cross the river
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain
And then as death gives way to victory
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He lives

Call to Confession & Assurance of Pardon

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. 

Leader: Lord, you are full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy; there is always forgiveness with you! Restore to us the joy of your salvation; bind up that which is broken, give light to our minds, strength to our wills, and rest to our souls. Speak to each of us, and let your word abide with us until it has wrought in us your holy will. Amen.

Message: How Can A Good God Allow So Much Evil in the World?

15When Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “It may be that Joseph will hate us and pay us back for all the evil that we did to him.”
16So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, “Your father gave this command before he died:
17‘Say to Joseph, “Please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin, because they did evil to you.”’ And now, please forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father.” Joseph wept when they spoke to him.
18His brothers also came and fell down before him and said, “Behold, we are your servants.”
19But Joseph said to them, “Do not fear, for am I in the place of God?
20As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring it about that many people should be kept alive, as they are today.
21So do not fear; I will provide for you and your little ones.” Thus he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.

Apostles Creed

I believe in one 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, dead and buried.
The third day he arose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven
and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit;
one holy universal church ;
the communion of saints;
the forgiveness of sins;
the resurrection of the body;
and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Communion

Please join us as we partake in the Lord’s supper. All crackers are gluten-free.

Song of Worship: Firm Foundation (He Won't)

Verse 1
Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
‘Cause He’s never let me down
He’s faithful through generations
So why would He fail now

Chorus 1
He won’t He won’t

Verse 2
I’ve still got joy in chaos
I’ve got peace that makes no sense
So I won’t be going under
I’m not held by my own strength
‘Cause I’ve built my life on Jesus
He’s never let me down
He’s faithful in every season
So why would He fail now

Chorus 2
He won’t He won’t
He won’t fail
He won’t fail

Bridge
Rain came and wind blew
But my house was built on You
I’m safe with You
I’m going to make it through

Vamp
Yeah I’m going to make it through
‘Cause I’m standing strong on You
Yeah I’m going to make it through
‘Cause my house is built on You

Chorus 3
He won’t He won’t
He won’t fail
He won’t fail no He won’t

Song of Worship: Wonderful Merciful Savior

Verse 1
Wonderful merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh You rescue the souls of men

Verse 2
Counselor Comforter Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts
Have hopelessly lost the way
Oh we hopelessly lost the way

Chorus
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh our hearts always hunger for

Verse 3
Almighty infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh we’re falling before Your throne
