WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP:
You are at work in this place, O God,
and you are at work in us.
You call us to turn our minds and hearts to you,
to direct our wills to your will, our voices to your praise.
Guide us in joy,
that we may worship you not only with words, but with our lives.
Amen.
OPENING SONG: “King of Heaven”
Jesus, let Your kingdom come here,
Let Your will be done here in us. Jesus, there is no one greater, You alone are Savior, show the world Your love.
CHORUS:
King of heaven come down, King of heaven come now,
Let your glory reign shining like the day, King of heaven come.
King of heaven rise up, who can stand against us;
You are strong to save in Your mighty name,
King of heaven come.
We are children of Your mercy,
Rescued for Your glory; we cry,
Jesus set our hearts towards You;
Every eye would see You lifted high. (CHORUS)
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
King of heaven come …… King of heaven come,
King of heaven come …… King of heaven come,
King of heaven come down, King of heaven come now,
Let your glory reign shining like the day,
King of heaven come.
King of heaven rise up, who can stand against us;
You are strong to save in Your mighty name,
King of heaven come.
King of heaven come …… King of heaven come,
King of heaven come …… King of heaven come,
King of heaven come down, King of heaven come now,
Let your glory reign shining like the day,
King of heaven come.
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
“Be of the same mind,” says God.
But we like to be independent, each going our own way, dancing to our own beat.
“Have the same love,” says Christ.
But we are not even certain what love is, let alone how to do it.
“Do nothing from selfish ambition, and look not to your own interests but to those of others,” says the Spirit.
But then how will we get ahead? How will we secure our future? How will we have enough?
“Be one with the mind of Christ, who was obedient to the end.”
We bristle at the obedience—we like to believe we are in the lead.
Forgive us, O God,
for we have replaced you with our own ideals, created you in the image of our cultural and economic dream, and situated ourselves at the top of the heap.
Yet you call us to let go, to be humble, to look always to Christ who emptied himself.
Empty us of all that harms, so we may be filled with your Spirit.
~Moment of Silence~
ASSURANCE OF PARDON

SONG OF BLESSING:
The Lord bless you, and keep you
And give you peace
The Lord bless you and keep you
And give you peace
PASSING OF THE PEACE:
Leader: The peace of Christ be with you
Response: And also with you
SONG: “It Is Well”
Our scars are a sign of grace in our lives,
And Father how you brought us through
When deep were the wounds and dark was the night
The promise of Your love You proved.
Now every battle still to come - let this be our song:
CHORUS:
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
Weeping may come, remain for a night
But joy will paint the morning sky
You're there in the fast, You're there in the feast
Your faithfulness will always shine
Now every blessing still to come - let this be our song:
CHORUS:
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
Trust Your ways (trust Your ways)
Trust Your name (trust Your name)
It is well, it is well with my soul
BRIDGE:
You lead us through battles, (You lead us through battles)
You lead us to blessing, (You lead us to blessing)
And You make us fruitful, (And You make us fruitful)
In the land of our suffering God
It is well, it is well with my soul!
CHORUS:
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
Trust Your ways (trust Your ways)
Trust Your name (trust Your name)
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul.
SCRIPTURE READING: Philippians 2:1-11
2 If, then, there is any comfort in Christ, any consolation from love, any partnership in the Spirit, any tender affection and sympathy, 2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or empty conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests but to the interests of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you that was[a] in Christ Jesus,
6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.
9 Therefore God exalted him even more highly
and gave him the name
that is above every other name,
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
every knee should bend,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue should confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
SERMON: “A Church Poured Out”
Rev. Dr. Austin Ashenbrenner
SONG: “Heart of Worship”
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
It’s all about You, it’s all about You
When the music fades, All is stripped away
And I simply come, Longing just to bring something that’s of worth, That will bless Your heart.
PRECHORUS
I’ll bring You more than a song, For a song in itself
Is not what you have required,
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear, You’re looking into my heart.
CHORUS
I’m coming back to the heart of worship,
And it’s all about You
It’s all about you, Jesus, I’m sorry, Lord, for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about you, It’s all about you, Jesus
King of endless worth, No one could express
How much You deserve, Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours, Every single breath.
(REPEAT PRECHORUS AND CHORUS)
OFFERING
PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE/ LORD’S PRAYER:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen
CLOSING SONG: “I Stand Amazed In The Presence”
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner, condemned, unclean.
CHORUS
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary,
And suffered and died alone. CHORUS
When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see, (PAUSE)
’Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me.
CHORUS 3X
