WELCOME
Mrs. Joanne Lai

CALL TO WORSHIP*
Mrs. Joanne Lai
Based on Colossians 2:3; Revelation 5:12

The Lord Jesus who calls us to worship him today
is the same Jesus who refused the temptation  
to worship the evil one.
Rather than receive the glorious kingdoms of this world,
he endured the shame of the cross,
and today is Lord of lords and King of kings.
Now are gathered in him all the treasures
of wisdom and knowledge, glory, and power.
With the saints of all ages we say,
“Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and glory and praise!”

CONFESSION OF SIN*
Together

Almighty God, we confess how hard it is to be your people.
You have called us to be the church,
to continue the mission of Jesus Christ 
to our lonely and confused world.
Yet we acknowledge we are more apathetic than active,
isolated than involved, callous than compassionate,
obstinate than obedient, legalistic than loving.
Gracious Lord, have mercy upon us and forgive our sins.
Remove the obstacles preventing us
from being your representatives to a broken world.
Awaken our hearts to the promised gift of your indwelling Spirit.
This we pray in Jesus’ powerful name. Amen.

TIME OF SILENT CONFESSION*
Together

ASSURANCE OF PARDON*
Mrs. Joanne Lai
1 Peter 2:24, NRSV

He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross,
so that, free from sins,
we might live for righteousness;
by his wounds you have been healed.

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.

Q19. What was God’s providence towards the angels?
God in his providence permitted some of the angels to willfully and irrecoverably fall into sin and damnation, limiting and ordering their fall and all their sins to his own glory. He established the rest of the angels in holiness and happiness, employing them all, at his pleasure, in the administrations of his power, mercy, and justice.

Q20. What was the providence of God toward mankind in the state in which the first man was created?
The providence of God toward mankind in the state in which the first man was created was the following:

  • placing him in paradise, appointing him to tend it and giving him the liberty to eat the fruit of the earth;

  • putting the creatures under his dominion and ordaining marriage for his help;

  • allowing him communion with God himself;

  • instituting the Sabbath;

  • entering into a covenant of life with him on the condition of personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience, of which the tree of life was a pledge;

  • and forbidding him to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, on pain of death.

Q21. Did mankind continue in the state in which God first created them?
Our first parents, being left to the freedom of their own will, transgressed the commandment of God by eating the forbidden fruit through the temptation of Satan, and by that they experienced the fall from the state of innocence in which they were created.

GOSPEL MESSAGE
Gospel Movement through Church Planting
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

Filled with Glory
Lisa Gungor, Michael Gungor © 2005 Integrity Worship Music, Replied Music / CCLI #1770735

As we all bow down
As we all come casting off our crowns
Would You hear our cry
We want to see You glorified

Glorify Your name
Glorify Your name
Glorify Your name
We want to see You glorified

As we join as one
As we live to let Your Kingdom come
Father through our lives
We want to see You glorified

The earth will be filled with glory
Like water o'er the sea, filled with glory
The earth will be filled with glory
Like water o'er the sea

Let The Nations Be Glad
Aaron Boswell, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa © 2010 Getty Music Hymns and Songs; Love Your Enemies Publishing; Curb Dayspring Music / CCLI #1770735

Let the glory of the Lord forever be our joy
May redemption be the theme of our song
For by grace we have been saved
And by grace we shall proclaim
To the corners of the earth that Christ is come

Let the nations be glad
Let the people rejoice
For salvation belongs to our God
Let the whole earth be filled
With the praises of the Lord
For salvation belongs to our God
Let the nations be glad

Through the ages gone before
Through the trial and the sword
Many saints and martyrs conquered
Though they died
Still we holding out the cross
Crossing oceans suffering loss
Shall endure all things to win the crown of life

As Your holy church goes forth
In the Holy Spirit’s power
With the glories of the gospel to exclaim
Now we pray Your Kingdom come
And we pray Your will be done
For the honor and glory of Your name

Shine
Matt Redman © 2006 Thankyou Music / CCLI #1770735

Lord, we have seen the rising sun
Awakening the early dawn|
And we’re rising up to give You praise
Lord, we have seen the stars and moon
See how they shine, they shine for You
And you’re calling us to do the same

So we rise up with a song
And we rise up with a cry
And we’re giving You our lives

We will shine like stars in the universe
Holding out Your truth in the darkest place
We’ll be living for Your glory
Jesus we’ll be living for Your glory

We will burn so bright with Your praise, O God
And declare Your light to this broken world
We’ll be living for Your glory
Jesus, we’ll be living for Your glory

Like the sun so radiantly sending light for all to see
Let Your holy church arise
Exploding into life like a supernova’s light
Set Your holy church on fire
(Jesus, we will shine)

Song of Response

By Faith
Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend © 2009 Thankyou Music Getty Music Publishing / CCLI #1770735

By faith we see the hand of God
In the light of creation's grand design
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness
Who walk by faith and not by sight
By faith our fathers roamed the earth
With the power of His promise in their hearts
Of a holy city built by God's own hand
A place where peace and justice reign

We will stand as children of the promise
We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward
Till the race is finished and the work is done
We'll walk by faith and not by sight

By faith the prophets saw a day
When the longed for Messiah would appear
With the power to break the chains of sin and death
And rise triumphant from the grave
By faith the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost
To deliver captives and to preach good news
In every corner of the earth

By faith the mountain shall be moved
And the pow'r of the gospel shall prevail
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name
