Build Your Kingdom Here
Come set Your rule, and reign in our hearts again. Increase in us, we pray. Unveil why we’re made. Come set our hearts ablaze with hope, like wildfire in our very souls; Holy Spirit, come invade us now. We are Your Church; we need Your pow’r in us.
We seek Your kingdom first. We hunger and we thirst; refuse to waste our lives, for You’re our joy and prize. To see the captives’ hearts released; the hurt, the sick, the poor at peace. We lay down our lives for heaven’s cause. We are Your Church; we pray revive this earth.
Chorus: Build Your kingdom here. Let the darkness fear. Show Your mighty hand. Heal our streets and land. Set Your Church on fire. Win the nations back. Change the atmosphere. Build Your kingdom here, we pray.
Unleash Your kingdom’s pow’r, reaching the near and far. No force of hell can stop Your beauty, changing hearts. You made us for much more than this; awake the kingdom seed in us. Fill us with the strength and love of Christ. We are Your Church; we are the hope on earth. Chorus

Call to Worship/Prayer of Invocation
Sing We the Song of Emmanuel
Sing we the song of Emmanuel; this, the Christ, Who was long foretold. Lo, in the shadows of Bethlehem, promise of dawn now our eyes behold.
God, Most High, in a manger laid. Lift your voices and now proclaim, “Great and glorious, Love has come to us.” Join now with the hosts of heaven.
Come we to welcome Emmanuel, King Who came with no crown or throne. Helpless, He lay, the Invincible. Maker of Mary, now Mary’s son.
O, what wisdom to save us all. Shepherds, sages before Him fall. Grace and majesty, what humility. Come on bended knee, adore Him.
Go spread the news of Emmanuel. Joy and peace for the weary heart. Lift up your heads for your King has come. Sing, for the Light overwhelms the dark.
Glory shining for all to see. Hope alive, let the gospel ring. God has made a way. He will have the praise. Tell the world His name is Jesus.
Bridge: Gloria. Gloria. Gloria. Gloria.

Jesus, Messiah
He became sin, Who knew no sin; that we might become His righteousness; He humbled Himself, and carried the cross. Love so amazing, love so amazing.
Chorus: Jesus, Messiah; name above all names; blessed Redeemer; Emmanuel. The Rescue for sinners, the Ransom from heaven; Jesus, Messiah, Lord of all.
His body the bread, His blood the wine broken and poured out, all for love. The whole earth trembled, and the veil was torn. Love so amazing, love so amazing. Chorus
Bridge: All our hope is in You, all our hope is in You; all the glory to You, God, the Light of the world. Chorus

Corporate Confession of Sin
Kevin Berlin, Ruling Elder
Heavenly Father, please forgive our sins. Forgive the sins that we remember, and the sins we have forgotten. Forgive our many failures in the face of temptation, and those times when we have been stubborn in the face of correction. Forgive the times we have been proud of our own achievements and those when we have failed to boast in Your works. Forgive the harsh judgments we have made of others, and the leniency we have shown ourselves. Forgive the lies we have told to others, and the truths we have avoided. Forgive us the pain we have caused others and the indulgence we have shown ourselves. Father, have mercy on us and make us whole. Amen

Sermon
How Grace Works
Celebration of the Lord’s Supper
New Covenant welcomes all baptized Christians who have forsaken their sin and trust in Jesus Christ alone for salvation, and who are members of congregations that proclaim the Gospel, to receive the Lord’s Supper with us. The elements will be passed through the rows in the sanctuary and in the fellowship hall. We wait to eat together as a family meal. Gluten free bread is provided.
For the Bread (During Communion)
He Will Hold Me Fast
When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast; when the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast. I could never keep my hold through life’s fearful path; for my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.
Chorus: He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast; for my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast!
Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast; precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast. He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last; bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast. Chorus
For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast; justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast. Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast ’til our faith is turned to sight, when He comes at last! Chorus
