Liturgy for wherever you are
Luke 22:47-53 | April 6, 2025
welcome to WORSHIP
Liturgy is an ancient word for worship that is usually translated as “the work of the people.” You’ll hear the voices of our pastoral staff and our community each week, and we are so grateful that this is the work we get to do together. We prayerfully plan our worship services trusting that the Spirit will use each element to shape us and our desires as we pursue the path of Christ. To listen to previous liturgies, you can visit our Soundcloud page below to browse the archives.
Listening to the Livestream
A little before 10:30 AM you should see a play button (circle with a triangle in it) appear in the box below. Press that play button when it appears, and you should be able to hear the service live! We always start the livestream a few minutes before the service begins, so you may hear some chatter or worship music playing at first. Know that you are with us in Spirit as you worship from wherever you are.
If you come to this page after Sunday worship but before the recorded sermon is posted in its entirety, please come back again! The full recording is posted by noon on Tuesday.

I’ve Got Peace Like a River
Jeffrey Rickard
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river
I've got peace like a river in my soul
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul
I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an ocean
I've got love like an ocean in my soul
Come Thou Fount
John Wyeth | Robert Robinson
Come Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by thy great help I've come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Reckless Love
Caleb Culver | Cory Asbury | Ran Jackson
Before I spoke a word,
You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath,
You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, I don't deserve it, still,
You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
When I was Your foe,
still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth,
You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me
There's no shadow You won't light up
Mountain You won't climb up
Coming after me
There's no wall You won't kick down
Lie You won't tear down
Coming after me
Communion
Tony Brown | Steffany Frizzell Gretzinger | Dante Bowe | Brandon Lake | Jonathan Jay
Take me back to the garden
Lead me back to the moment I heard Your
voice
Take me back to communion
Lead me back to the moment I saw Your
face
And it was oh so simple
It was easy to love
And no space between us
It was easy to trust
'Cause You are closer closer than my
skin
And You are in the air I'm breathing in
And here's where the dead things come
back to living
I feel my heart beating again
It feels so good to know You are my
friend
This is the garden
Here in the place I find You close
This is communion
Here in the place I'm fully known
And it was oh so simple
You're so easy to love
And no space between us
You're so easy to trust
This is where I'm meant to be
Me and You and You and me
I don't have to prove a thing
You've already approved of me
Jesus We Love You
Hannah McClure | Kalley Heiligenthal | Paul McClure
Old things have passed away
Your love has stayed the same
Your constant grace remains the
cornerstone
Things that we thought were dead
Are breathing in life again
You cause your Son to shine
on darkest nights
Jesus we love You
Oh how we love You
You are the one our hearts adore
The hopeless have found their hope
The orphans now have a home
All that was lost has found its place in You
You lift our weary head
You make us strong instead
You took these rags and made us
beautiful

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed us, and then Andrew and Lucia invited us into a practice of shared gratitude. Troi called us into worship. Andrew led us in a congregational prayer. Melanie read our scripture. Riley brought us the teaching today. Chip presided over communion. Rebecca T invited us into a time of generosity with our offering. Marcie and Kathy reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Our musicians this morning were Leslie, Mitch, Tim, Le Bien, Dave E, Cindie, and Dolores. Leslie oversaw the production while Steph worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
