Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 22:12-19

• Pray for the Lord to draw near when you feel surrounded.

• Thank the Lord that He comes quickly to our aid.

• Praise the Lord for the help He offers in Christ - the One whose hands and feet were pierced as His garments were divided.

Confession & Assurance

We have walked in ungodliness and worldly passions. We have been lawless.

We have lived for ourselves, pursuing various passions and pleasures, neglecting the blessed hope that we have in Christ Jesus our Lord. 

However, the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age. We long and wait for the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ. 

Jesus gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works.

Read Psalm 22:6-11

Confession & Assurance

We, like all, have sinned and gone astray.  We were made in the very image of God, the maker of heaven and earth. Yet our sin corrupts even our humanity. "I am a worm and not a man, scorned by mankind and despised by the people."

All who see me mock me.

But we are not our own for we belong to Christ!

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Jill and Ali Can are living in the Middle East. Their main focus in this season is Ali Can’s translation of several 9Marks books and 100+ articles. Two books have already been published (What is the Gospel? and Who is Jesus?)!

We are doing well! Our main focus during this season has continued to be Ali Can's translation of several 9Marks books and articles. Two books have already been published!

• Pray for their translation ministry – that the Lord would use the materials they have produced to bring people to the Gospel!

• Pray for their monthly support needs. God has provided greatly over the past few months, but they still have a deficit of $860/month in order to meet their current needs. Pray for God to add generous givers to their support team.

• Pray for the Lord's favor in their visa processing. They are still waiting for the U.S. embassy to reopen in order to be able to get the paperwork needed to move to the U.S.

Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 22:1-5

• If you are holding onto any feelings of being alone and forsaken, take a moment to lament. Cry out to God if He feels distant.

• Reflect on evidences of God’s past faithfulness. Thank Him for being constant, resent, and true.

• Ask God to prepare your heart for worship.

Confession & Assurance

Lord, we have lived out our days with malice, ill will, and envy. We have hated others and been hated by others. 

Left in our sin, we are foolish, disobedient, led astray, and slaves to various passions and pleasures.

Pause and confess current sin in your own heart.

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy.

We have been saved by the regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, which has been given to us through Jesus Christ our Savior. We are justified by God's grace so that we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

The Church at Greer Station exists to make Jesus known from Greer to the ends of the earth. In order to encourage and equip one another in this mission, we will hold an Evangelism Workshop on Sunday, July 26 starting at 8:00am at the church office. We will begin with some practical training on initiating and carrying gospel conversations and then put that into practice by splitting into groups and spreading out across Greer to seek out gospel conversations with our neighbors. We will end our time by gathering back together to share about those conversations over lunch.

"After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. And he said to them, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'" (Luke 10:1-2)

Pray:

• For the harvest fields of Greer: God is already working in the hearts of your neighbors!

• For laborers: How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news and proclaim salvation!

• To be sent: If you have been redeemed by Christ, God has already called you as a laborer for the harvest!

Benediction

Romans 12:9-13

Questions for Reflection

• Who can I move towards today?

• With whom do I need to reconcile?

Read Psalm 21:8-13

Confession & Assurance

We were dead in the trespasses and sins in which we once walked, following the course of this world and the spirit that is at work in those who disobey.

We all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind. Our nature was to be children of wrath, like the rest of humanity.

BUT God is rich in mercy and deeply loves us. Therefore, even though we were dead in our trespasses, He made us alive together with Christ. 

We have been saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone. This is not our own doing but it is the gift of God. This is not a result of works, so that we do not boast in ourselves. Rather, we boast in He who has shown the immeasurable riches of His grace to us.

• Pray for the Harrisons’ upcoming assessment. Pray that the Lord would help them communicate their vision and passion for making Jesus known in Atlantic Canada.

• Pray for those who are already faithfully laboring for the gospel in Nova Scotia. Pray that the Lord would bless and sustain LifeBridge Community Church, PAXnorth church, and Community Bible Chapel.

• Pray for all those in Nova Scotia who have not heard and do not know the good news of Jesus Christ. Pray that the Lord would call many to Himself and that they would move from death to life.

• Identify specific blessings the Lord has given to you — thank Him for them.

• Pray that the Lord would be glorified greatly through your life.

• Pray that you would find joy in the Lord’s presence.

• Ask the Lord to make you aware of your necessity for Him and that you would rely on his faithfulness.

• Thank the Lord for His steadfastness and that because of His faithfulness, you can stand firm.

Confession & Assurance

This is the message we have heard from Him and proclaim to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.

The light has come into the world and we loved the darkness rather than the light because our works were evil.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his son cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

For we trust in the Lord, and through the steadfast love of the Most High we will not be moved.

• Praise God that He is our help and protection in the day of trouble and that He hears our cries.

• Praise God that He saves His anointed.

• Rejoice in the salvation you have experienced in Christ, asking God to refresh your trust and hope in Him.

• Thank God that He rules and reigns and that we can trust in Him and worship Him today.

Confession & Assurance

All have sinned and fallen short of God’s glory. All like sheep have gone astray. We walk in darkness. We lie and do not tell the truth. We stand in the way of sinners. We sit in the seat of the scornful. We are not corrupted from the outside – but instead, from within our own hearts proceeds the evil which defiles us. My sin is ever before me.

Out of the depths we cry to you O Lord. O Lord hear our voice. Let your ears be attentive to our pleas for mercy.

If the Lord should mark iniquities, who could stand?  But with our God there is forgiveness! With our God there is steadfast love for in Him we find plentiful redemption! For Christ has borne our grief and carried our sorrows. The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Christ Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross that we might die to sin and live to righteousness! By His wounds we have been healed.  We were straying like sheep but now have been returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls!

I wait for the Lord. My soul waits. And in His word I hope.

• Praise God that we are blameless and innocent because of Jesus

• Ask the Lord to prepare your heart for worship

• Ask the Lord to grow you through your time in the Word, prayer, and song

Confession & Assurance

None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God.

All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one.

Our throat is an open grave; we use our tongues to deceive.

The venom of snakes is under our lips. Our mouths are full of curses and bitterness.

Our feet are swift to shed blood; in our paths are ruin and misery, and the way of peace we have not known. For we all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:9-18, 23)

BUT! the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions,

To live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,

• Call upon the Lord to deliver you from your enemies (Satan, sickness, death, and your own sin).

• Thank God that your cries never fail to reach his ears!

Confession & Assurance

You O Lord are our rock and our fortress. Yet we turn to so many others seeking refuge.

You are our stronghold - the horn of our salvation. And still we call on other far less worthy to be praised.

But you O God invite us into the house of the Lord! Even now our feet are standing within the gates of your salvation!

King Jesus sits in judgment on the throne of his father David. Our sin has brought us trouble. But peace and security are found in the house of the Lord our God!

Pray for Jill & Ali Can, our partners in the Middle East. Pray that they would be able to process their time remaining in Country. They had planned to be in the U.S. by this point but they have to remain longer due to lack of immigration possibilities. Pray they would have a sensitivity to what the Lord is calling them to in this season. Pray for Ali Can's perseverance in his translation of 9 Marks books into his local language. He has already translated books like What is the Gospel? and Who is Jesus? There are limited resources like these in the country. Pray for believers in their country to endure in this season. It has been difficult not gathering together and studying and reading on one's own time is not highly valued. 

Benediction

Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 17:8-15

• Thank God that, In Christ, we are the apple of His eye — loved as Christ is loved!

• Thank God that, In Christ, we are hidden in God.

• Thank God that, In Christ, we are triumphant over wickedness and death.

• Thank God that, In Christ, we have a hope beyond this life.

• Thank God that, In Christ, we behold God's face. We can approach confidently because of Jesus.

• Ask God to prepare your heart for worship!

Confession & Assurance

We long to behold your face in righteousness and to be satisfied with your likeness, but we are drawn to wickedness; we take delight in the portion of this life above You, our portion.

We are confronted by Your Holiness and deserve only your sword. We speak arrogance and resist your pity.

[Pause for silent prayer of confession.]

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing!

In Christ, our sin is forgiven!  You've made us the apple of your eye, we are hidden in the shadow of your wings.

Teach us to walk in your likeness, teach us to take satisfaction in walking like Jesus!

• How can I grow in my understanding and awareness of God as both maker of heaven and earth and also the One who provides personal help to me?

• Which aspect of God’s help brings me the most encouragement? Which is the hardest to believe? (God’s help never tires, never wavers, and is never threatened).

• Where have you experienced God’s help in your own personal faith journey?

Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 17:1-7

• Ask God to prepare your heart for worship.

• Thank God that He has wondrously shown love to us in Christ.

• Thank God that He Himself is our refuge from the evil both inside and outside of us.

• Thank God for giving us Himself as the satisfaction of all our deepest longings.

Confession & Assurance

O LORD attend to our cry!  Unlike David, You have tried our hearts, you have visited us by night, you have tested us

And we've been found guilty.

We have purposed that our mouths will not transgress. With regard to the works of man, 

We too often embrace the ways of the violent.

We long for our steps to hold fast to your paths; 

But our feet have slipped. 

Yet thanks be to God, You wondrously show your steadfast love, O Savior of those who seek refuge.  For Your grace has appeared, bringing salvation to us all, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions,

To live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope.

Our hope is the appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 

Who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness, to purify us, a people for his own possession, and make us zealous for good works. 

Come quickly, Lord Jesus!

Confession taken from Psalm 17:1-7, Titus 2:11-14.

• If I'm not restless, why might that be the case? How “at home” do I feel in this life?

• Am I tempted to drown restlessness out with noise?

• To what / where / whom does my restlessness send me? How helpful is that?

Living Room Liturgy | Easter Sunday

Scroll to the bottom for kids lessons & song.

Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 16

• Praise God as the source of all good things. Specifically thank Him for blessings with which He has blessed you.

• Praise God for the inheritance we have been given in Jesus Christ, the inheritance of eternal life.

• Praise God that we have access to His presence, to enjoy pleasures evermore at His right hand.

• Praise God that He has raised His son Jesus from the dead!

Confession & Assurance

The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply.

Father, we confess we are tempted to fix our hope in other saviors: earthly leaders, scientific progress, or political action. In times of sorrow and distress we often numb ourselves with fleeting pleasures. Forgive us for believing we have any good apart from you.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, he was buried, and he was raised on the third day. For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet. The last enemy to be destroyed is death.

You hold us in your hand, so we shall not be shaken. We are secure. We have a beautiful inheritance. You make known to us the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy forevermore.

Call to Worship & Prayer

Almighty God, we pray as those for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willingly betrayed, given into the hands of sinners, and suffered death upon the cross. We ask that you would be honored in our worship and you would help our remembrance of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sin. We pray in the name of the One who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen

Confession & Assurance

O God, how can we lift our faces to you? For our iniquities have risen higher than our heads.

Our guilt has mounted to the heavens.

We are ashamed of all our iniquities.

For we have forsaken your commandments and filled the land from end to end with uncleanness.

And now, O God, what shall we say?

For no one is righteous. No, not one.

But you, God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which you loved us, have not punished us as our iniquities deserve;

You have extended your steadfast love to us, it pleased you to crush Christ on our behalf, that by His wounds we would be healed.

Forgive us, O merciful God, for the sake of your gracious Son, Jesus Christ,

That his great suffering and redeeming work might bring us into eternal fellowship with You, that we might commit and commend our spirits, as He has done, into Your loving and gracious hand.

Prayer

John 3:16-17 tells us God sent Jesus out of love for the world, that Jesus came into the world not to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Let us take a few moments to pray for the world.

• Pray for the church all over the world. Pray the gospel would be preached and the Lord would preserve His church in the face of the pandemic, persecution, and opposition from the evil one.

• Pray for our elected officials: the President, Congress, the Supreme Court, and our local leaders.

• Pray for those suffering all over the world, specifically for a solution to Coronavirus.

• Pray for the lost. Ask God to raise up laborers for the harvest to make the glorious news of Good Friday known to all peoples.

Call to Worship & Prayer

Read Psalm 15

• Ask God to prepare your heart for worship.

• Praise God for his holiness and otherness.

• Thank God for sending His Son while we were still sinners.

• Thank God for making us immovable in Christ, unable to be separated from His love!

Confession & Assurance

O Lord, who shall sojourn in your tent? Who shall dwell on your holy hill?

He who walks blamelessly and does what is right.

For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it.

Father, left to ourselves we would have no hope of life in your glorious presence. You are a holy, consuming fire and our own righteousness is filthy rags. For though we may often speak truth and seldom slander, we are not holy as you are holy.

Christ suffered for us. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. 

By his wounds we have been healed. 

For we were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls.

Passing the Peace
