Here is a rundown of our past Sunday's worship gathering at Sacred City Church!

 

 

Let the heavens praise your wonder, O Lord,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones!
For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,
a God greatly feared in the council of the holy ones,
and awesome above all who are around him?

O Lord of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord,
with your faithfulness all around you?
You rule the raging sea;
when its waves rise, you still them.
You crushed Rahab like a carcass
You scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.

The heavens are yours; the earth also is yours;
the world and all that is in it, you have founded them;
Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.
You have a mighty arm; strong is your hand, high your right hand.
Righteousness and justice and the foundation of your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
Blessed are the people who know the festal shout,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face,
who exult your name all the day
and in your righteousness are exalted.
For you are the glory of their strength;
by your favor our horn is exalted.
For our shield belongs to the Lord,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.

 

 

Father,
Forgive us for our anxious fears,
for Your goodness has helped us believe,
but our faith is weak and wavering.
It’s light is dim, and it’s steps are tottering,
it’s increase is slow, and backsliding is frequent.
Our faith should scale the heavens,
yet it lies groveling in the dust.
Holy Spirit, exalt Christ in our hearts.
Gives us strength to trust him, for we are weak,
and it is hard to practice what we believe.
Thank you for the times of fear and pain,
when you dismantle our idolatries,
and disarm the fortresses
that we run to instead of You.
When life is stormy, let us find safety, peace,
and hope in Christ, our best refuge,
and only source of true lasting strength.
Amen.

 

The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
as a father has compassion for his children,
so the LORD has compassion for those who fear him.
For he knows how we were made;
he remembers that we are dust.
But the steadfast love of the LORD is from
everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
to those who keep his covenant
and remember to do his commandments.

 

 

L: Q44 -What is it to believe or have faith in Christ?

C: A -To trust in Christ alone for salvation.

L & C: “Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.” - Acts 4:12

 

 

 

 

God, who has taught the hearts of Your people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit, grant us, by the same Spirit, to have right judgment in all things, and forever rejoice in His holy comfort; through Christ our Savior, who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Spirit, one God, world without end. Amen

 

 

May the peace of God, which passes all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of God’s Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord; and the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, remain with you always. [based on Philippians 4:7] L: Peace be with you! C: And also with you!
