We begin our prayers with praise because Jesus instructed that prayer begins with who God is, where He is, and with an active longing that our kingdoms become more like His.

God Summons Us

Call to Worship

Leader: God is our refuge and strength

All: a very present help in trouble.

Leader: Therefore, we will not fear though the earth gives way,

All: though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea

Leader: Be still, and know that he is God

All: Exalt the Lord among the nations.

Leader: The LORD of hosts is with us;

All: the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Let the King of my heart
Be the mountain where I run
The fountain I drink from
Oh He is my song

Be the shadow where I hide
The ransom for my life
Oh He is my song

Let the King of my heart
Be the wind inside my sails
The anchor in the waves
Oh He is my song
Let the King of my heart
Be the fire inside my veins
The echo of my days
Oh He is my song

You're never gonna let
Never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let
Never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let
Never gonna let me down
You're never gonna let
Never gonna let me down

Yahweh (Psalm 84)
by Adam Daniel Westlake, Britton Hardcastle, Carrie Hardcastle
CCLI Song # 7227607 -- CCLI License # 162332

There is nowhere else I'd rather be
Than seated in the presence of my King
You're the only One I'll ever need
Your majesty is all I want to see

All I want is You all I want is You

Chorus
My soul longs even faints for the Lord in this place
You're the source of my strength Yahweh
Forever home in Your house I'm standing on holy ground
Where all I want has been found Yahweh

Even the sparrow finds a home
Even the weary find their rest
Just a day here in Your courts
Is better than a thousand anywhere else

It's better than a thousand anywhere else
It's better than a thousand anywhere else
It's better than a thousand anywhere else
Yahweh

There is nowhere else I'd rather be
Than seated in the presence of my King

Passing the Peace
The with-God life grants us peace, share a reminder of that peace with a friend.

The peace of the Lord be with you.
And also with you.

Song of My Father
CCLI License # 162332

When silence falls I hear You call
In a secret place
You still my soul with quiet joy
And I'm wide awake

Chorus
In the middle of the night, I look up to the sky
I can hear You singing over me
Through the fire and the flood I know that I am loved
I can hear You singing over me, yeah

You spoke the earth with just one word
And You hold my heart
Oh, my every step, my every breath
Is Your work of art

I hear Your melody
I hear Your symphony
There's nothing louder than the song of my Father
(repeat)

Closing Song

Goodness Of God
by Ed Cash and Jenn Johnson
© 2018 -- CCLI Song # 7117726 -- CCLI License # 162332

I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

CHORUS
All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Your goodness is running after
It's running after me
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me
With my life laid down
I'm surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me

God Sends Us

The Sermon on the Mount
Keys to the Kingdom
Matthew 7:24-25 ESV
24 "Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock.
