Our Affirmation of Faith
We believe in God the creator of us all, whose desire for
diversity is seen in the rainbow of humanity. With unrelenting
passion God Seeks to be in relationship with all of us.
We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of
God’s redeeming grace; And in the Holy Spirit through whom
that grace continues its restoring work.
We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth
today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus,
to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve.
We believe that together we can change the world,
in our time and for all time Amen!
Affirmation Chorus: In This Place
In this place, There’s joy that I can’t explain
In this place, There’s healing for all my pain
There is love unlike I’ve ever known
Everybody here makes me feel at home
As we gather here, I know I’m not alone
I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..
SING AND CELEBRATE:
1.FREE FOR ALL
Rivers rich in mercy beckon, Everyone who thirsts is welcome
All who hunger freely come, Bread of life for everyone
Chorus Free for all, Free for all, Over every limitation, Free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all
Free for all (pause)
We’re proclaiming freedom to the nations,
Stand and see your full salvation
Rivers in the desert, clouds are forming
Celebrate this free out-pouring (chorus)
Free for all, Free for all, Over every limitation, Free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all
Where the spirit of the Lord is, There is freedom, free for all
Holy Spirit rise within us, Bring your freedom, free for all
Holy Spirit rise within us, Bring your freedom, free for all
Free for all…. Who the Son set free, is free indeed
Who the Son set free, is free indeed
Who the Son set free, is free indeed
2.ABOVE ALL
Above all power, above all kings, Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were here before the world began.
Above all kingdom, above all thrones, Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, There’s no way to measure what
you’re worth
Crucified, laid behind a stone, You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose, trampled on the ground, You took the fall, and thought of me, above all
3. AT THE CROSS
Oh Lord You’ve searched me, You know my way. Even when I fail You,
I know You love me… Your holy presence, Surrounding me,
In every season, I know You love me. I know You love me…
CHORUS: At the cross I bow my knee, where Your blood was shed for me
There’s no greater love than this. You have overcome the grave,
Your glory fills the highest place, What can separate me now…
You go before me, You shield my way. Your hand upholds me, I know You love me…
Verse:You tore the veil. You made a way. when you said that it is done(repeat verse)
And when the earth fades, Falls from my eyes, and You stand before me.
I know You love me. I know You love me…(repeat from chorus)
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
You’ll remember, friends, that when I first came to you to let you in on God’s master stroke, I didn’t try to impress you with polished speeches and the latest philosophy. I deliberately kept it plain and simple: first Jesus and who he is; then Jesus and what he did – Jesus crucified. I was unsure of how to go about this, and felt totally inadequate – I was scared to death, if you want the truth of it -and so nothing I said could have impressed you or anyone else. But the Message came through anyway. God’s Spirit and God’s power did it, which made it clear that your life of faith is a response to God’s power, not to some fancy mental or emotional footwork by me or anyone else. 1 CORINTHIANS 2:1-5
Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. PHILIPPIANS 3:1
So, then, if with Christ you’ve put all that puffed-up and childish religion behind you, why do you let yourselves be bullied by it? “Don’t touch this! Don’t taste that! Don’t go near this!” Do you think things that are here today and gone tomorrow are worth that kind of attention? Such things sound impressive if said in a deep enough voice. They even give the illusion of being pious and humble and austere. But they’re just another way of showing off, making yourselves look important. COLOSSIANS 2:20-23
Beloved, let us love one another, because love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God…
Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another…
God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
Love has been perfected among us in this; that we may have boldness on the Day of Judgment, because as God is, so are we in the world.
There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear; 1 JOHN 4:7,11,16-18
