Liturgy for wherever you are

Seventh Sunday of Pentecost

AMA with Pastor John Jay: The Bodies Edition

John 1:1-5, 14 +  Galatians 5:16-21 | July 16th, 2023


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.



Lyrics*

He Is Faithful

Bryan Torwalt

I have heard a sound coming on the wind
Changing hearts and minds healing brokenness
I feel a generation breaking through despair
I hear a generation full of faith declare

And our song it will be
Out of the darkness we will rise and sing


He is faithful He is glorious
And He is Jesus and all my hope is in Him
He is freedom He is healing right now
He is hope and joy love and peace and life


I have seen a light like the break of dawn
Showing us the path, making all things new
I see a generation with resurrection life
We are a generation filled with the power of Christ

He has paid the highest price
He has proven His great love for us
We will praise Him with our lives
And proclaim our love for Him

All Creatures of Our God and King

Brent Milligan | David Crowder | St. Francis of Assisi | William Henry Draper

All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise Him alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in Heav'n along
O praise Him alleluia
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening find a voice
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him alleluia
Praise praise the Father praise the Son
And praise the Spirit three in One
O praise Him O praise Him
Alleluia alleluia alleluia

Open Space

Kirby Kaple | Rob Kaple

Pull me in closer close to Your heart
May I be a pure reflection of all You are
Love that is patient love that is kind
A love that keeps no offenses or wrongs in mind

Make me like Jesus
Make me like Jesus

My heart is an open space
For You to come and have Your way
I'm open I'm open

You're faithful to find me right where I am
Even in my wandering you call me friend
Mercy receives me and lifts me to my feet
And I'm caught up in the wonder and the mystery

Of knowing Jesus
Of knowing Jesus

Do whatever You want to do
Say whatever You want to say
Move however You want to move
Change whatever You want to change

Not in a Hurry

Michael Ketterer | Will Reagan

Lord I don't want to rush on ahead
In my own strength
When You're right here

I'm not in a hurry
When it comes to Your Spirit
When it comes to Your presence
When it comes to Your voice
I'm learning to listen
Just to rest in Your nearnes
I'm starting to notice
You are speaking

Lord I want to love like You
I want to feel what You feel
I want to see what You see

Open my eyes I want to see You
Open my ears I want to hear You speak
Tell me Your thoughts what's on Your mind
I'll be Your friend I want to see
through Your eyes

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! Lindsay welcomed us and invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Gaby called us into worship. Shawn, Michael and Cynthia led us through a Blessing of the Backpacks. Rebecca led us in communal prayer. Elena and Vivian read scripture. John Jay provided us with a teaching, invited us into a time of generosity through our offering and offered up the benediction. Our musicians this morning were Astyn, Judah, John Jay, Jason E. and Scott. Riley reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Abbey worked her technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.

Much love from your church family at FBC Pasadena.
