CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 30:1-5, 10-12 ~ I will exalt you, Lord, for you rescued me. You refused to let my enemies triumph over me. O Lord my God, I cried to you for help, and you restored my health. You brought me up from the grave, O Lord. You kept me from falling into the pit of death. Sing to the Lord, all you godly ones! Praise his holy name. For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime! Weeping may last through the night, but joy comes with the morning. Hear me, Lord, and have mercy on me. Help me, O Lord. You have turned my mourning into joyful dancing. You have taken away my clothes of mourning and clothed me with joy, that I might sing praises to you and not be silent. O Lord my God, I will give you thanks forever!

Minister: “Christ is Risen! Alleluia!”

Church: “Christ is Risen indeed! Alleluia! Amen!”

Minister: “Death has been swallowed up in victory. Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

Church: “Thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Minister: Jesus said: “I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in Me will live, even though they die; and those who live and believe in Me will never die. Do you believe this?”

Church: “I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the end He will stand on this earth. My flesh may be destroyed, yet from this body I will see God.”

DISCUSSION & SERMON

Series: SENT OUT

DISCUSSION Questions:

SERMON (Rev. Troy Wilson): “Sent With Resurrection Power”

John 20:1-18 ~ 1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!” 3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying. 11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”). 17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

  1. POWER OF WHO GOD CHOOSES

  2. POWER THRU TEARS

  3. POWER THRU A REAL RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD

  4. POWER THRU GOING AND TELLING OTHERS

  5. POWER OF GOD WHILE WE’RE ASLEEP

RESPOND BY GIVING GENEROUSLY

Ways to GIVE…

2 Corinthians 8:9 – “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.”


RESPOND BY RECEIVING COMMUNION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION… Humble yourself before God and confess any sinful attitudes, actions, inactions, and patterns without defending yourself. Psalm 51:1-2 – “Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING… Thank God for his mercy and forgiveness – given to us through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Psalm 32:5,11 – “Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. Rejoice in the Lord and be glad.”

FEAST TOGETHER… Renew your vow to follow Christ by partaking of God’s grace: the bread (Gluten-Free) symbolizes Christ’s body that was broken for us and the red wine / white grape juice symbolizes Christ’s blood that cleanses us from sin.

WORSHIP THRU SINGING

Man of Sorrows

Verse 1

Man of sorrows Lamb of God

By His own betrayed

The sin of man and wrath of God

Has been on Jesus laid

Verse 2

Silent as He stood accused

Beaten mocked and scorned

Bowing to the Father's will

He took a crown of thorns

Chorus 

Oh that rugged cross my salvation

Where Your love poured out over me

Now my soul cries out hallelujah

Praise and honor unto Thee

Verse 3

Sent of heaven God's own Son

To purchase and redeem

And reconcile the very ones

Who nailed Him to that tree

Bridge

Now my debt is paid

It is paid in full

By the precious blood

That my Jesus spilled

Now the curse of sin

Has no hold on me

Whom the Son sets free

Oh is free indeed

Verse 4

See the stone is rolled away

Behold the empty tomb

Hallelujah God be praised

He's risen from the grave
