“Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and
earth.” Let us exalt his name together.
Invocation
Hymns of Adoration and Praise
Nothing But the Blood
Words & Music: Robert Lowry Arrangement: Citizens
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Refrain:
O precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow;
No other fount I know;
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my pardon this I see:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
For my cleansing this my plea:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)
Nothing can for sin atone:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
Naught of good that I have done:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)
This is all my hope and peace:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
This is all my righteousness:
Nothing but the blood of Jesus. (Refrain)

The Call to Worship is an
invitation into the unique activity
of worship. Our primary activity
in the worship service is to
participate in the gift exchange of
worship itself, by hearing God’s
Word, by offering prayers and
praise, and by receiving spiritual
nourishment offered at the Lord ’s
Table.
The term invocation implies
that the congregation invokes, or
“calls upon,” God. In it, we
express our longing for God as
well as deep dependence and
humility.

Christ Is Risen
Words & Music: Matt Maher
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us
Chorus:
Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Christ is risen from the grave
Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your Church proclaim (Chorus)
O death where is your string?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He’s alive! He’s alive! (Chorus)

Scripture Reading
Psalm 2
Rev. Chad Montoya
Confession of Sin
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though
your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though
they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool.” So that we
would know this wonderful cleansing, let us respond to the God
who gives us such good reason to come to him and confess our
sin to him.
(Isaiah 1:18)
Corporate Confession
Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from
of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, and my rebellious
ways: according to your love remember me, for you are good, O
Lord.... For the sake of your name, O Lord, forgive my iniquity,
though it is great. Turn to me and be gracious to me, for I am
lonely and afflicted. The troubles of my heart have multiplied;
free me from my anguish. Look upon my affliction and my
distress and take away all my sins.
(from Psalm 25:6-7, 11, 16-18)
Silent Confession
Assurance of Pardon
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we
might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you
have been healed.
(1 Peter 2:24)
Page |4
As the Bible is the primary means
by which God speaks to and
edifies his people, we read and
listen to the Scriptures together
in worship. In ancient Israel and
the early church, services of
worship were organized for the
public reading of scripture – a
practice vital to building up the
community of faith.
Because sin is so pervasive in
both our corporate and
individual lives, Christians and
non-Christians are called to come
before the Father with honesty
and transparency, confessing
our brokenness and asking for
both forgiveness and healing
through Jesus Christ. We confess
individually in order to own
our failing toward God and
toward humankind in thought,
word and deed…
…we confess corporately to
show our unity even in our
brokenness.
We confess individually in
order to own our failing toward
God and toward humankind in
thought, word and deed.
Christ has given the Church
authority to declare forgiveness
of sins in his name. Because of
this, when the liturgist proclaims
that your sins are forgiven, you
can know that Christ agrees.

Hymn of Assurance
Jesus Paid It All O Praise The One
Words & Music: Kristian Stanfill
I hear the Savior say, Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.
Chorus:
Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find Thy power, and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone. (Chorus)
And when before the throne, I stand in Him complete,
Jesus died my soul to save, my lips shall still repeat. (Chorus)
Children’s Biography
Augustine, Chapter 6
Offering
Pastoral Prayer
At the conclusion of prayer join us in praying as Jesus taught us:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive
our debtors. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Sermon
“Defiant Grace”
Colossians 3:1-4
A sermon is not just teaching for
living; it is mainly a time when
Christ encounters his people
through his Word.

Hymn of Response
On Jordan’s Stormy Banks
Words: Samuel Stennett Music: Christopher Miner
On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand,
And cast a wishful eye
To Canaan’s fair and happy land,
Where my possessions lie.
All o’er those wide extended plains,
Shines one eternal day;
There God the Son forever reigns,
And scatters night away.
Chorus
I am bound (I am bound) I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land,
I am bound (I am bound) I am bound (I am bound)
I am bound for promised land.
No chilling winds nor poisonous breath
Can reach that healthful shore;
Sickness, sorrow, pain and death,
Are felt and feared no more. (Chorus)
When shall I reach that happy place,
And be forever blessed?
When shall I see my Father’s face,
And in His bosom rest? (Chorus)

Affirmation of Faith
The Apostle’s Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and
earth, and
I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the
dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge
the living and the dead.
When we affirm our faith
together, it reminds us that we
are part of an ancient and global
faith. This basic creed of
Christian churches, as most
familiarly known, is called the
Apostles' Creed. It has received
this title because of its great
antiquity; it dates from very
early times in the Church, a half
century or so from the last
writings of the New Testament.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; the holy catholic* church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness
of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.
Amen.
*The word “catholic” refers not to the Roman Catholic Church, but the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Invitation to the Table
Redeemer welcomes all baptized Christians – those who are
trusting in Jesus Christ for salvation and who are members of
congregations that proclaim the gospel – to receive the Holy
Communion (also called the Lord’s Supper, or the Eucharist)
with us. We will be coming forward to receive Communion.
When you come forward, tear a piece of the bread, and take a
cup.
Please note that we use wine in Communion. If you cannot receive
wine, nonalcoholic white grape juice is also available.
Benediction
Doxology
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen
“The Eucharist is the definitive
action practiced in the Christian
community that keeps Jesus
Christ before us as the Savior of
the world and our Savior, and
ourselves as sinners in need of
being saved. The Eucharist is the
sacramental act that pulls us into
actual material participation
with Christ (eating and drinking
bread and wine) as he gives his
very life “for us and for our
salvation” (cf., the Nicene
Creed)... The Eucharist puts Jesus
in his place: dying on the cross
and giving us that sacrificed life.
And it puts us in our place:
opening our hands and receiving
the remission of our sins, which is
our salvation.”
• Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays
in Ten Thousand Places
Just as we ordain new ministers
and send them into the world to
serve, in the Benediction, Christ
ordains you with a blessing that
equips you for service.
