| Resurrection by Magnus 3D |
Up until 1900, there had never been a fast-growing revival in a non-Western pre-Christian country. Then there was the Korean Presbyterian revival in 1907 and the East African Anglican revival in the 1930s. There was never a renewal movement of monasticism until there was. There was never a Reformation until there was. There was never anything like a Great Awakening until there was. There has never been a fast-growing revival in a post-Christian, secular society. But every great new thing is unprecedented - until it happens. Jesus said, "I will build My Church, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matthew 16:18). There's no reason to believe this promise (or this enduring hope) has an expiration date. + Timothy Keller
We open our eyes to see Jesus' glory.
We open our ears to hear Jesus' wisdom.
We open our hands to offer Jesus gifts.
We open our mouths to sing Jesus' praise.
We open our hearts to offer Jesus our love.

Call to Worship | Psalm 98:1-3
Sing a new song to the LORD, for He has performed wonders ... The LORD has made His victory known; He has revealed His righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered His love and faithfulness to the house of Israel; all the ends of the earth have seen our God’s victory.
Elevation Worship, 2020 A.D.
I searched the world, but it couldn't fill me.
Man's empty praise, and treasures that fade are never enough.
I searched the world, but it couldn't fill me.
Man's empty praise, and treasures that fade are never enough.
Then You came along and put me back together
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love.
Oh, there's nothing better than You,
There's nothing better than You,
Lord, there's nothing, nothing is better than You!
I'm not afraid to show You my weakness
My failures and flaws, Lord, You've seen 'em all
And You still call me friend.
'Cause the God of the mountain
And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love.
Oh, there's nothing better than You,
There's nothing better than You,
Lord, there's nothing, nothing is better than You!
I'm not afraid to show You my weakness
My failures and flaws, Lord, You've seen 'em all
And You still call me friend.
'Cause the God of the mountain
Is the God of the valley,
There's not a place Your mercy and grace won't find me again. (Chorus)
You turn mourning to dancing, You give beauty for ashes,
There's not a place Your mercy and grace won't find me again. (Chorus)
You turn mourning to dancing, You give beauty for ashes,
You turn shame into glory , You're the only one who can!
You turn graves into garden, You turn bones into armies,
You turn graves into garden, You turn bones into armies,
You turn seas into highways, You're the only one who can!

Prayer of Confession + Assurance | Our World Belongs to God (58)
Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us sinners ...
All: “Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise!” He has made us a Kingdom of priests to serve our God, and we will reign on earth.
One: God will be all in all, righteousness and peace will flourish, everything will be made new, and every eye will see at last that our world belongs to God.
All: Hallelujah! Come, Lord Jesus!
Your Spirit

Tasha Cobbs Leonard, 2017 A.D.
Not by might, not by power,
By Your Spirit, God, send Your Spirit, God.
By Your Spirit, God, send Your Spirit, God.
(Repeat)
You are the fire, we are the temple.
Your are the voice, we are Your song.
You are our God, we are Your people.
You are the light, we stand in awe ...
We stand in awe of You, we stand in awe of You!
You are the fire, we are the temple.
Your are the voice, we are Your song.
You are our God, we are Your people.
You are the light, we stand in awe ...
We stand in awe of You, we stand in awe of You!
(Chorus)
You called us out, out of the darkness
You called us out, out of the darkness
Into Your love, into Your light.
Grace upon grace, beauty for ashes,
Grace upon grace, beauty for ashes,
You come to us, we come alive.
We stand in awe of You, we stand in awe of You!
We stand in awe of You, we stand in awe of You!
(Chorus 2x)
Breathe, come and breathe on us!
Breathe, come and breathe on us!
Spirit breathe, come and breathe on us!
Fanny J. Crosby, 1873 A.D.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine!
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine.
Oh 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! (Repeat)
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
This is my story, this is my song!
Praising my Savior all the day long! (Repeat)
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
(Chorus)
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.
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.
(Chorus)
This is our story, this is our song,
Praising our Savior all the day long! (Repeat)
May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
until He returns to make all things new.
This is our story, this is our song,
Praising our Savior all the day long! (Repeat)
Benediction
May the grace and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you
until He returns to make all things new.
Christ is all,
Rev. Mike "Sully" Sullivan
