Liturgy for wherever you are

Isaiah 40:1-24 | September 1, 2024

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.

Blessed Assurance

Fanny Jane Crosby | Phoebe Palmer Knapp

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight!
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

Perfect submission all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blessed;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

We Praise You

Brian Johnson | Brandon Lake | Matt Redman | Phil Wickham

Let praise be a weapon that silences the enemy
Let praise be a weapon that conquers all anxiety
Let it rise, let praise arise

We sing your name in the dark and it changes everything
We sing with all we are and we claim your victory
Let it rise, let praise arise

We’ll see You break down every wall
We’ll watch the giants fall
For fear cannot survive when we praise You
The God of breakthrough’s on our side
Forever lift Him high
With all creation cry, God we praise You

Let faith be the song that overcomes the raging sea
Let faith be the song that calms the storm inside of me
Let it rise, let faith arise

This is what living looks like
This is what freedom feels like
This is what heaven sounds like
We praise You, we praise You

Christ Be All Around Me

David Leonard | Jack Mooring | Leeland Mooring | Leslie Jordan

As I rise
Strength of God go before lift me up
As I wake

As I wait
Heart of God satisfy and sustain
As I hear
Voice of God lead me on be my guide
Be my guide

Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me
Above and below me
Before and behind me
In ev'ry eye that sees me
Christ be all around me yeah

As I go
Hand of God my defense by my side
As I rest
Breath of God fall upon bring me peace
Bring me peace

Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah
Oh oh Christ be all around me yeah

Your life Your death Your blood was shed
For ev'ry moment ev'ry moment

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

Doxology

Thomas Ken

Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise God, all creatures here below;
Praise God above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

What a wonderful group of friends we had for this week’s service! John Jay welcomed us and he and Sam invited us into a communal practice of gratitude. Warren called us into worship. Lindsay led us in communion. John Jay read scripture, provided us with a teaching and offered up the benediction. Rebecca invited us into a time of generosity through our offering. Paul and Nat provided our offertory. Our other musicians this morning were Leslie, Warren, Sam, Natalee, Rick, Chris B and the FBCP Choir. Rene and John Jay reminded us of the different ways we are invited to participate in communal life together. Leslie oversaw the production while Steph worked their technical magic to mix this special collaborative worship experience.
