ASSEMBLE IN GOD’S NAME
LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD
Prelude
Pastoral Prayer
Congregational Introit† Praise Ye the Lord, the Almighty
Offering Our Gifts Ain’t Got Time to Die Hall Johnson
Prayer of Adoration†
GIVE PRAISE TO GOD Hymn of Praise† How Firm a Foundation Lighting of the Candles Placement of the Bible Prayer of Confession We confess before you our complicity in the sins of this world. Our hands and hearts are not clean. We covet our neighbors’ lives and possessions. We confess we have too often desired power and status, neglecting our calling as your servants. We are a fearful people. We fear not just violence, illness, and death; we fear the approval of the crowd. Forgive us, Lord, and restore in us the joy of our salvation. Give us the faith to trust your promises. Give us the hope to know what we are living for. But above all, give us your love — for you, our neighbor, and ourselves. Now listen, Lord, to the sins that are keeping us imprisoned as we quietly confess to you… Assurance of God’s Forgiveness Congregational Response† Amazing Grace Life of the Congregation Invitation to Prayer
†
Those who are able, please stand.
Lord, I keep so busy praising my Jesus, ain’t got time to die. ’Cause when I’m healing de sick, I’m praising my Jesus, ain’t got time to die. ’Cause it takes all my time to praise my Jesus, All of my time to praise my Lord. If I don’t praise Him the rocks gonna cry out, “Glory and honor! Glory and honor!” Ain’t got time to die.
DODGING DEATH 2 Kings 20:1–6 (Pew Bible 608) Mark Brewer
GO IN GOD’S NAME Hymn of Response† The Lord’s Prayer Invitation and Benediction† Postlude
Lord, I keep so busy working for the Kingdom, ain’t got time to die. Cause when I’m feeding the poor, I’m working for the Kingdom, Ain’t got time to die. Lord, I keep so busy serving my Master, ain’t got time to die. ’Cause when I’m giving my all, I’m serving my Master. Ain’t got time to die. Now, won’t you get out of my way, let me praise my Jesus? Out of my way! Let me praise my Lord. If I don’t praise Him the rocks gonna cry out, “Glory and honor, glory and honor!” Ain’t got time to die! Doxology† Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544

In a pluralistic culture, in which everyone is right and no one is wrong, the Christian story claims certain truths to be foundational and absolute. In this four-week series, pastors Mark Brewer and Chuck Roberts will explore the person of Jesus, the credibility of the Bible, the building blocks of personal faith, and how to talk about the hope of the Christian faith. peachtreechurch.org/foundationaltruth
