Call to Worship                      
John 16:13
When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.
 
Invocation
 
Declaration of Truth  
Romans 8:14-16
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.  For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God...
 
Hymn of Praise                              
O Church Arise

O church, arise and put your armor on;
Hear the call of Christ our captain;
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given.
With shield of faith and belt of truth
We'll stand against the devil's lies;
An army bold whose battle cry is "Love!"
Reaching out to those in darkness.

Our call to war, to love the captive soul,
But to rage against the captor;
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor.
When faced with trials on ev'ry side,
We know the outcome is secure,
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations.
Come, see the cross where love and mercy meet,
As the Son of God is stricken;
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet,
For the Conqueror has risen!
And as the stone is rolled away,
And Christ emerges from the grave,
This vict'ry march continues till the day
Ev'ry eye and heart shall see Him.

So Spirit, come, put strength in ev'ry stride,
Give grace for ev'ry hurdle,
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful.
As saints of old still line the way,
Retelling triumphs of His grace,
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When, with Christ, we stand in glory.

The Doxology and Prayer

Hymn of Testimony        
Love Divine, All Loves Excelling                          

Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;  enter every trembling heart.
 
Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit   into every troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit;  let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;  Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,  set our hearts at liberty.
 
Come, Almighty, to deliver,  let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,  nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
 
Finish, then, thy new creation;  pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation  perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,  till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,  lost in wonder, love and praise.

The Word and the Sacrament
 
Reading of God’s Word                  
Ephesians 1:3-14                  
All: The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40:8
 
Prayer of Illumination
 
Sermon                                      
“The Promised Spirit”
Pastor Rick Holmes
Series: God’s Ultimate Plan          
 
The Invitation to the Lord’s Table: Those who have not yet come to the place in their lives of trusting Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are requested to let the elements pass. Please use this time to read Isaiah 53 (p. 613 in the pew Bible) asking God to show you the glory of his Son, Jesus Christ. If you are unsure about your relationship with Christ, please see a member of the pastoral staff or one of the elders after the service.
 
Confession of Sin and Assurance of Forgiveness
 
Hymn of Preparation              
Beneath The Cross Of Jesus    
                             
Beneath the cross of Jesus  I fain would take my stand,
The shadow of a mighty Rock  Within a weary land;
A home within the wilderness,  A rest upon the way,
From the burning of the noontide heat,  And the burden of the day.
 
Upon the cross of Jesus mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One  Who suffered there for me:
And from my stricken heart with tears Two wonders I confess,
The wonders of redeeming love  And my unworthiness.
 
Receiving the Bread and Cup:  For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.                
I Corinthians 11:26
 
Our Response
 
Hymn of Celebration      
Spirit Of The Living God

Spirit of the living God,  Fall fresh on me;
Spirit of the living God,  Fall fresh on me;
Break me, melt me, mold me, fill me;
Spirit of the living God,  Fall fresh on me.
