April 24, 2011 by Cityview Presbyterian Church

Easter Sunday April 24, 2011

To Our Guests: If you are new to Cityview, or just visiting, we would love to know that you were here. We have clipboards (called “Connection Cards”) at the end of each aisle. These are a way for you to both communicate with us and to request information about Cityview. Connection cards come with a “no hassle” guarantee- we will not call you unless you specifically ask us. However, if you request information, the appropriate ministry leader will get in touch with you.

Our Purpose: You might be wondering, “Whatʼs this church all about?” At Cityview, we keep it simple: We are imperfect people that gather together in response to the grace of Jesus Christ. We are committed to worshiping God, loving each other well and serving the West Loop, the city of Chicago and the world.

The Liturgical Year The Liturgical Year, also known as the Christian year, consists of the cycle of liturgical seasons that determines, in Christian churches, when celebrations, memorials, commemorations, and solemnities are to be observed. The liturgical year follows the story of Godʼs redemption through Christ and is intended as a pedagogical aid for Christian discipleship- as the story of the life, death, and resurrection of Christ is modeled year after year. The year begins with Advent, moves into Christmas, through Epiphany, and arrives at Lent, which is a season of preparation for Easter. At the end of Lent is what is known as the Great Triduum (the three great days)- which are Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Saturday Easter Vigil. The story reaches its climax at Easter, which lasts fifty days and ends at Pentecost. After Pentecost, we enter Ordinary Time or the Trinity Season, during which the Church is to focus on living the Gospel in day-to-day life.

Easter Sunday This week we celebrate the climax of God's redemptive story: Jesus Christ, God in flesh, came to dwell with us, died for us, and rose again from the dead. As the apostle Paul tells us in his letter to the Corinthian church, this moment changes everything. If Christ did not rise from the dead, then "our faith is futile." But if he did rise from the dead, then we can take hope. As N.T. Wright says, "The point of the resurrection is not simply that the creator God has done something remarkable for one solitary individual (as people today sometimes imagine is the supposed thrust of the Easter proclamation), but that, in and through the resurrection, 'the present evil age' has been invaded by the 'age to come', the time of restoration, return, covenant renewal, and forgiveness. An event has occurred as a result of which the world is a different place, and human beings have the new possibility to become a different kind of people".

Prayers for Reflection: (These prayers are available for personal reflection and prayer during or after the service.)

Prayer for Those Searching for Truth

Prayer of Belief

Prayer for Those Struggling with Sin

Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Grant that I might be undaunted by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open me to the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is coherent, convincing, and that leads to the life you promise. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared admit, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserve in order to offer me complete forgiveness. I know that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen.

Lord Jesus, grant that I may see in you the fulfillment of all my need, and may turn from every false satisfaction to feed on you – the true and living bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so closely and run with perseverance the race set before me, looking to you, the pioneer and perfecter of my faith. Amen.

Order of Worship Prelude Preparing in Stillness "The point of the resurrection is not simply that the creator God has done something remarkable for one solitary individual (as people today sometimes imagine is the supposed thrust of the Easter proclamation), but that, in and through the resurrection, 'the present evil age' has been invaded by the 'age to come,' the time of restoration, return, covenant renewal, and forgiveness. An event has occurred as a result of which the world is a different place, and human beings have the new possibility to become a different kind of people." -–NT Wright

*Indicates congregation standing

Preparing in Stillness: We often come into worship tired, overwhelmed and distracted. If we are honest we often are not prepared to worship God. Each week, we take a few moments to quiet our hearts to prepare to meet God in worship. Please take this time to read these reflections, look over the rest of the service, or pray as we anticipate being called into worship.

“People have not gathered for the past 2,000 years to say, ʻThe stock market has risen. It has risen indeed.ʼ They have not gathered to say, ʻThe dollar has risen. It has risen indeed."ʼOr, ʻthe employment rate has risen.ʼ Or, ʻthe gross domestic product has risen.ʼ Or, ʻGeneral Motors has risen.ʼ Or ʻthe value of your 401(k) has risen.ʼ Here's the one hope that has held up human beings across every continent and culture for two millennia of difficult times of poverty, disease, pain, hardship, [and] death itself: ʻChrist is risen. He is risen indeed.ʼ” -–John Ortberg

GOD CALLS US *Call to Worship

Based on 1 Peter 3: 1-5

Leader:

Alleluia! Christ is risen!

All:

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

Leader:

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

All:

He has given us new life and hope.

Leader:

He has raised Jesus from the dead.

All:

God has claimed us as his own.

Leader:

He has brought us out of darkness.

All:

He has made us light to the world.

Leader:

Alleluia! Christ is risen.

All:

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

*Prayer of Adoration Leader:

O Christ, who lived to show what life is like, who died to show that sin is death, who rose to raise us up to life eternal, help us to follow you and love you forever.

All:

Amen.

Call to Worship: We need to be “called” to come and worship God because we default to thinking the world revolves around our needs and agendas, and also because we struggle to believe that God truly wants us to draw near to him. The call to worship focuses our attention on God and prepares us to meet him.

Easter Reading Leader:

Based on Luke 24: 1-2

Hear the good news about this day we celebrate: 1

But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the 2 spices they had prepared. And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 4 but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel. 5 And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to 6 them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? He is not here, but has risen. 7 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third 8 9 day rise.” And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb they told 10 all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told 11 these things to the apostles, but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and 12 they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

*Hymn of Praise

In Christ Alone Words and Music: Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

1. In Christ alone my hope is found; He is my light, my strength, my song; This cornerstone, this solid ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! My comforter, my all in all— Here in the love of Christ I stand.

3. There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain; Then bursting forth in glorious day, Up from the grave He rose again! And as He stands in victory, Sin's curse has lost its grip on me; For I am His and He is mine— Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

2. In Christ alone, Who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save. Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied; For ev'ry sin on Him was laid— Here in the death of Christ I live.

4. No guilt in life, no fear in death— This is the pow'r of Christ in me; From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny. No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand; Till He returns or calls me home— Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.

GOD CLEANSES US Confession of Sin: Because sin is so pervasive in both our individual and corporate lives, we are called to come before God with honesty and transparency, confessing our failures and brokenness and asking for both healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. We confess corporately to show our unity even in our brokenness.

*Prayer of Confession All:

Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from the grave and crowned him Lord of all. We confess that we have not bowed before him or acknowledged his rule in our lives. We have gone along with the way of the world and failed to give him glory. Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be your faithful people, obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules the world and is head of the church, his body. Amen.

Assurance of Grace: Christ has given the Church authority to declare forgiveness of sins in his Name. Because of this, when the liturgist proclaims that your sins are forgiven, you can know that Christ agrees.

*Words of Assurance

1 Corinthians 5: 20-22

Leader:

“Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

All:

Amen.

Leader:

Brothers and Sisters, you have heard Godʼs holy demands and have confessed your sins to him. Do you believe that Jesus Christ, by his perfect life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection has atoned for your sins and satisfied the wrath of God for you?

All:

We do.

*Hymn of Assurance

Though we pass through tribulation, All will be well Ours is such a full salvation, All is well Happy still in God confiding Fruitful if in Christ abiding Steadfast through the Spirit's guiding All must be well 3.

Opportunities and Concerns Greetings

Worship Through Giving: Because money is so powerfully tied to our hearts, this is a valuable expression of worship as we acknowledge that everything we have comes from God and belongs to him. If you are visiting with us, we are just glad you are here- please do not feel obligated to give.

GOD SPEAKS TO US Sermon Text

Mark 5: 1-20

They came to the other side of the sea, to the country of the Gerasenes. 2 And when Jesus had stepped out of the boat, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit. 3 He lived among the tombs. And no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain, 4 for he had often been bound with shackles and chains, but he wrenched the chains apart, and he broke the shackles in pieces. No one had the strength to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and on the mountains he was always crying out and cutting himself with stones. 6 And when he saw Jesus from afar, he ran and fell down before him. 7 And crying out with a loud voice, he said, “What have you to do with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I adjure you by God, do not torment me.” 8 For he was saying to him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!” 9 And Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” He replied, “My name is Legion, for we are many.” 10 And he begged him earnestly not to send them out of the country. 11 Now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside, 12 and they begged him, saying, “Send us to the pigs; let us enter them.” 13 So he gave them permission. And the unclean spirits came out, and entered the pigs, and the herd, numbering about two thousand, rushed down the steep bank into the sea and were drowned in the sea. 14

The herdsmen fled and told it in the city and in the country. And people came to see what it was that had happened. 15 And they came to Jesus and saw the demon-possessed man, the one who had had the legion, sitting there, clothed and in his right mind, and they were afraid. 16 And those who had seen it described to them what had happened to the demon-possessed man and to the pigs. 17 And they began to beg Jesus to depart from their region. 18 As he was getting into the boat, the man who had been possessed with demons begged him that he might be with him. 19 And he did not permit him but said to him, “Go home to your friends and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 And he went away and began to proclaim in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him, and everyone marveled.

Leader: All: The Sermon: Some view the Sermon as a way to get principles for “right” living. In reality, as we open the Scripture we corporately encounter Christ. Therefore, as you listen, pray to be open to the Spiritʼs leading, exhortation, encouragement, and healing.

This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God!

The Gospel of Mark: Defeating Evil Reverend Dan Adamson

GOD STRENGTHENS US *Confession of Faith

Based on 1 Corinthians 15:3-7,Colossians 1:15-20

Leader:

This is the good news that we have received, in which we stand, and by which we are saved:

All:

Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised on the third day, and appeared first to the women, then to Peter and the Twelve, and then to many faithful witnesses. We believe Jesus is the Christ, the Anointed One of God, the firstborn of all creation, the firstborn from the dead, in whom all things hold together, in whom the fullness of God was pleased to dwell by the power of the Spirit. Christ is the head of the body, the church, and by the blood of the cross reconciles all things to God. Amen.

Prayer of Thanksgiving & Consecration Leader:

God of Grace, by your power you raised Jesus from death to life.

All:

Through his victory over the grave, we are set free from the bonds of sin and the fear of death to share the glorious freedom of the children of God.

Leader:

In his raising to life, you promise eternal life to all who believe in him.

All:

We praise you that as we break bread in faith, we shall know the risen Christ among us.

Christ, the Lord, Is Risen Today Words: Charles Wesley

Guidelines for Communion: Communion, also called the Lordʼs Supper or the Eucharist, is the family meal for Christians. We welcome all Christians - those who look to Christ alone for salvation, who are in good standing with His Church, and who seek strength to live more faithfully to their Savior - to join in this sacrament. Please note: we use wine. White grape Juice is in the center cups of the trays.

EASTER HYMN 7.7.7.al. Lyra Davidica, 1708;alt

*Benediction Leader:

Because Jesus has been raised, we live in the promise of the renewed Kingdom of God. May the Resurrected Christ give you joy and grant you peace this day and always.

All:

Amen.

Leader:

Because Christ is alive, love one another and serve the world in the hope of his resurrection.

All:

Thanks be to God!

The Benediction: God always gets the last word in our encounter of worship. For Christians, it is always a word of blessing and sending to live our lives in the light of the reality of the Gospel of Christ.
