WELCOME

CALL TO WORSHIP*
Elder Steven Kang
—Prayers of Adoration, Worship Sourcebook

We praise you, O God,
For your redemption of the world through Jesus Christ.
He entered the holy city of Jerusalem in triumph
And was proclaimed Messiah and King
By those who spread garments and branches along his way.
Just as we carry these branches,
May we follow Christ in the way of the cross,
That, dying and rising with him, we may enter into your kingdom,
Through Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns
With you and the Holy Spirit now and forever. Amen.

CONFESSION OF SIN*
Together

Gracious God, having heard your Word,
We thankfully remember the life
Of our Lord Jesus Christ on this earth.
Yet we also acknowledge our failure
To respond earnestly and faithfully to his witness.
We often mistake Jesus for a mere earthly king,
Friendly companion, or problem-solver,
Failing to see him as the ruler of all creation.
We do not appreciate the depth
Of his passion and sacrifice on the cross,
Failing to acknowledge him as our way of salvation
Even in this Lenten season, we have not walked faithfully
In the way of Jesus Christ.
Forgive us, we pray and bring us ever more fully
Into the joy of union with Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

TIME OF SILENT CONFESSION*
Together

ASSURANCE OF PARDON*
Elder Peter Glus
—based on Psalm 118:4-5, 14, 17 NRSV

Let those who fear the Lord say,
“His steadfast love endures for ever.”
Out of my distress I called on the Lord;
The Lord answered me and set me free.
The Lord is my strength and my song;
He has become my salvation.
I shall not die, but I shall live,
And recount the deeds of the Lord.
In Christ, God answers us and sets us free!
In Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God.

CONFESSION OF FAITH*
The Westminster Larger Catechism
Together

Each Sunday, we will go over three questions and answers from the Westminster Larger Catechism to help children and adults grow in understanding and apply God’s Word in daily life.

The Confession of Faith, the Larger Catechism, and the Shorter Catechism together are called the Westminster Standards, produced by the Westminster Assembly in England between 1643 and 1649. They provide a faithful summary of Christian doctrine taught in Scripture, guiding the church in confessing and growing in the truths of God’s Word.

The Westminster Standards help us:

  • Grow in theological clarity and understanding of Scripture.

  • Develop spiritual formation for all ages.

  • Maintain unity in belief, confessing the same truths together.

  • Connect with a rich historical legacy of faithful Christians who have used these standards to guide the church.

Q37. How did Christ, being the Son of God, become man?
Christ, the Son of God, became man by taking to himself a true body and a reasoning soul, being conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary, of her substance and born of her, yet without sin.

Q38. Why was it necessary that the mediator should be God?
It was necessary that the mediator should be God:

  • so that he might sustain and keep the human nature from sinking under the infinite wrath of God and the power of death;

  • so that he might give worth and effectiveness to his sufferings, obedience, and intercession;

  • and so that he might satisfy God’s justice, procure his favor, purchase a special people, give his Spirit to them, conquer all their enemies, and bring them to everlasting salvation.

Q39. Why was it necessary that the mediator should be a man?
It was necessary that the mediator should be man:

  • so that he might represent our nature, performing obedience to the law and suffering and making intercession for us in our nature;

  • so that he might have a fellow-feeling of our infirmities;

  • and so that we might receive the adoption of sons and have comfort and access with boldness to the throne of grace.

GOSPEL MESSAGE
Building a Healthy Church through Unity and Good Works
Rev. Stephen Ro

THE LORD’S SUPPER
Together

Parents with Nursery Age Children
All parents in the nursery are invited on Sundays to come inside the sanctuary to receive the elements for the sacrament of communion after the gospel message. 

The Lord's Supper is a sacrament instituted by the Lord Jesus Christ as a means of grace for all who trust him as Lord and Savior (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). It is not a Presbyterian supper; it is the Lord's Supper. Therefore, we invite all who are truly trusting Christ and are in fellowship with him to join in this sacrament. Trusting Christ is not just an individual matter, however. It also involves a public confession of Christ leading to membership in his church. If you are not a member of an evangelical church, we welcome you in Christ's name but request that you communicate your faith in Christ to the pastor before partaking. We can arrange such an opportunity if you desire it.

The Bible also teaches that we are to take part in the Lord's Supper with understanding, not superstitiously (1 Corinthians 11:29). And we are to do it honestly, searching our hearts to see if we have freely confessed known sin and are seeking true fellowship with God (v. 28). If you have been clinging to sin, you must confess and forsake it.

Sometimes parents ask if their children can partake. Often parents are able to judge their children's fitness to join with others in the Lord's Supper. But we ask parents to bring their children to the pastor to be asked about their faith and their understanding of what the communion service means so they might regard the Lord's Supper seriously and partake with understanding.

Living Faith Community Church welcomes all baptized Christians who are willing to forsake their sin and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation, and who are members of congregations that proclaim the gospel, to receive the Holy Communion with us.  If you are not able to receive Communion, please use this time to meditate on one of the following prayers.

  • Prayer for those searching for truth: Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Please do not allow me to be so afraid of the cost of following you, that I fail to consider reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me and show me who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is clear and convincing, and that leads to the life you promise. Amen.

  • Prayer for those taking the Lord’s Supper: Lord Jesus, I bow before you in humility and ask You to examine my heart today. Show me anything that is not pleasing to You. Reveal any secret pride, any unconfessed sin, any rebellion or unforgiveness that may be hindering my relationship with You. I know that I am Your beloved child, having received You into my heart and life and having accepted Your death as penalty for my sinfulness. The price You paid covered me for all time, and my desire is to live for You.
    Each time I take communion, Lord, I want to recommit my life, my heart, my thoughts, my everything to You. Fill me today with Your powerful Spirit. As I leave this place, help me to hold this fresh remembrance and the story that never grows old close to my heart. Help me to share its message faithfully as You give opportunity. Amen.

  • Prayer of Belief: Lord Jesus Christ, I believe that you are the Son of God.  I admit that I am a sinner, and am not worthy of your acceptance.  But I believe that you love me, and died on the cross to pay the debt of my sin.  You took what I deserve in order to offer me complete forgiveness.  Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen.

Songs of Grace

In Christ Alone
Keith Getty, Stuart Townend © 2001 Thankyou Music / CCLI #1770735

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

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 every sin on Him was laid,
Here in the death of Christ I live

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

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

Your Will Be Done
Rich Thompson, Jonny Robinson © 2020 CityAlight Music (admin. Integrity Music) / CCLI #1770735

Your will be done, my God and Father,
As in heaven, so on earth
My heart is drawn to self exalting,
Help me seek Your kingdom first

As Jesus walked, so I shall walk,
Held by Your same unchanging love
Be still my soul, O lift your voice and pray
‘Father, not my will but Yours be done.’

How in that Garden he persisted,
I may never fully know
The fearful weight of true obedience,
It was held by him alone

What wondrous faith, to bear that cross!
To bear my sin, what wondrous love!
My hope was sure,
When there my Saviour prayed
‘Father, not my will but Yours be done.’

When I am lost, when I am broken,
In the night of fear and doubt
Still I will trust in my good Father,
Yes, to one great King I bow!

As Jesus rose, so I shall rise,
In ransomed glory at the throne
My heart restored with all your saints I sing
‘Father, not my will but Yours be done.’

As we go forth, our God and Father,
Lead us daily in the fight
That all the world might see Your glory,
And Your Name be lifted high

And in this Name we overcome,
For You shall see us safely home
Now as your church, we lift our voice and pray
‘Father, not my will but Yours be done.’

The Goodness Of Jesus
Fiona Aghajanian, Harrison Druery, Jaywan Maxwell, Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren, Rich Thompson © 2018 CityAlight Music; Farren Love And War Publishing; Integrity's Alleluia! Music / CCLI #1770735

Come you weary heart now to Jesus
Come you anxious soul now and see
There is perfect love and comfort in your tears
Rest here in His wondrous peace

Oh the goodness the goodness of Jesus
Satisfied he is all that I need
May it be, come what may, that I rest all my days
In the goodness of Jesus

Come find what this world cannot offer
Come and find your joy here complete
Taste the living water never thirst again
Rest here in His wondrous peace

Come and find your hope now in Jesus
He is all he said he would be
Grace is overflowing from the Saviour’s heart
Rest here in His wondrous peace

Song of Response

Saviour King
Mia Fieldes, Marty Sampson © 2006 Hillsong Music Publishing / CCLI #1770735

Let now the weak say I have strength
By the Spirit of power that raised Christ from the dead
Let now the poor stand and confess
Oh my portion is Him and I'm more than blessed

Let now our hearts burn with a flame
A fire consuming all for Your Son's holy Name
And with the heavens we declare,
You are our King

We love You Lord, we worship You
You are our God, You alone are good
You asked Your Son to carry this
The heavy cross, our weight of sin

Let now Your church shine as Your Bride
That You saw in Your heart as You offered up Your life
And now the lost be welcomed home
By the saved and redeemed those adopted as Your own

We love You Lord, We worship You
Hope which was lost, now stands renewed
We give our lives to honour this
The love of Christ, the Saviour King
