What can wash away our sins?

Nothing but the blood of Jesus.

Offertory | “At the Name of Jesus” (Berry)

Jesus, though he was God, did not cling to his rights as God,
But laid aside his mighty power, his mighty power and glory,
Taking the form of a servant and becoming like man.
He humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,
Even death on the cross.

At the name of Jesus, at the name of Jesus,
Every knee shall bow in heaven and in earth.

That every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord!

At the name of Jesus! At the name of Jesus!

Scripture Reading | John 14:1-4

1 “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. 2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you? 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. 4 You know the way to the place where I am going.”

Prayers of the People and The Lord’s Prayer

Respond together:

Lord, in your mercy,

Hear our prayer.

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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory for ever. Amen.

“Father, Let Your Kingdom Come”

Commission and Benediction | From Ephesians 2:19–22

You are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord.

In Christ we are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
