WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:13.240
 As promised at this time in the service, we are going to invite Reuben and his mom and

00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:21.339
 dad and godparents to come up here, and we are excited for this baptism and an opportunity

00:00:21.339 --> 00:00:24.440
 to welcome someone into our church family.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.560
 Hey there.

00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:45.519
 Dearly beloved, Scripture teaches that we are all dead in our sins and trespasses, but by

00:00:45.519 --> 00:00:47.200
 grace we may be saved through faith.

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:52.379
 Our Savior Jesus Christ said, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter

00:00:52.379 --> 00:00:53.219
 the kingdom of God.

00:00:53.820 --> 00:00:58.019
 And he commissioned the church to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name

00:00:58.020 --> 00:01:00.180
 of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

00:01:01.060 --> 00:01:06.180
 Here we ask our Heavenly Father that this child, being baptized with water, may be filled with

00:01:06.180 --> 00:01:11.359
 the Holy Spirit, born again and received into the church as a living member of Christ's

00:01:11.359 --> 00:01:11.680
 body.

00:01:13.520 --> 00:01:17.960
 Therefore, I urge you to call upon God the Father through our Lord Jesus Christ, that of

00:01:17.960 --> 00:01:22.840
 His abundant mercy He will grant to this child that which by nature He cannot have.

00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.719
 The candidate for Holy Baptism will now be presented.

00:01:28.000 --> 00:01:31.380
 We present Reuben Alistair Stokes.

00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:35.460
 Receive the sacrament of baptism.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:36.520
 All right.

00:01:38.600 --> 00:01:42.600
 Today on behalf of this child you shall make vows to renounce the devil and all his works,

00:01:42.960 --> 00:01:45.859
 to trust God wholeheartedly and to serve Him faithfully.

00:01:45.859 --> 00:01:51.359
 It is your task to see that this child is taught as soon as he is able to learn the meaning

00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:56.099
 of all of these vows and of the faith that you will profess as revealed in the Holy Scriptures.

00:01:56.939 --> 00:02:01.060
 He must come to put his faith in Jesus Christ and learn the creeds, the Lord's Prayer, and

00:02:01.060 --> 00:02:04.960
 the Ten Commandments, and all other things that a Christian ought to know, believe, and

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:06.840
 do for the welfare of his soul.

00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:12.300
 When he has embraced all these, he is to come to the bishop to be confirmed that he may publicly

00:02:12.300 --> 00:02:17.400
 claim the faith for his own and be further strengthened by the Holy Spirit to serve Christ

00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:18.340
 and His Bridegroom.

00:02:18.840 --> 00:02:21.000
 Are you willing and ready to undertake this?

00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:22.520
 I am.

00:02:22.719 --> 00:02:24.100
 The Lord is my helper.

00:02:24.600 --> 00:02:24.939
 Wonderful.

00:02:25.160 --> 00:02:31.780
 So at this time I will ask you to make the renunciations and the affirmations on Reuben's

00:02:31.780 --> 00:02:32.240
 behalf.

00:02:33.760 --> 00:02:38.280
 Do you renounce the devil and all the spiritual forces of wickedness that rebel against God?

00:02:39.060 --> 00:02:40.160
 I renounce them.

00:02:40.159 --> 00:02:45.299
 Do you renounce the empty promises and deadly deceits of this world that corrupt and destroy

00:02:45.299 --> 00:02:46.259
 the creatures of God?

00:02:46.900 --> 00:02:47.879
 I renounce them.

00:02:48.300 --> 00:02:52.560
 Do you renounce the sinful desires of the flesh that draw you from the love of God?

00:02:53.099 --> 00:02:54.079
 I renounce them.

00:02:55.120 --> 00:03:02.159
 Almighty God, deliver you from the powers of darkness and evil and lead you into the light

00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:07.300
 and the obedience of the kingdom of His Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

00:03:08.740 --> 00:03:09.240
 Amen.

00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:09.379
 Amen.

00:03:10.100 --> 00:03:14.120
 Do you turn to Jesus Christ and confess Him as your Lord and Savior?

00:03:15.020 --> 00:03:15.580
 I do.

00:03:15.980 --> 00:03:20.580
 Do you joyfully receive the Christian faith as revealed in the Holy Scriptures of the Old

00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:21.340
 and New Testaments?

00:03:22.300 --> 00:03:22.740
 I do.

00:03:23.060 --> 00:03:27.860
 Will you obediently keep God's holy will and commandments and walk in them all the days of

00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:28.320
 your life?

00:03:29.320 --> 00:03:29.780
 I will.

00:03:30.060 --> 00:03:31.360
 The Lord be my helper.

00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:32.500
 Wonderful.

00:03:32.500 --> 00:03:41.160
 Now, congregation, we believe that no one is raised in the faith in a vacuum, and we believe

00:03:41.160 --> 00:03:46.140
 that it is primarily the family, the parents' responsibility, but they don't do it alone,

00:03:46.200 --> 00:03:50.640
 and we actually need the support of a whole community to raise our children in the faith.

00:03:50.639 --> 00:03:55.239
 And so I'm going to ask you, and if you agree with this, answer we will.

00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.579
 Will you who witness these vows do all in your power to support this child in his life

00:04:00.579 --> 00:04:01.219
 in Christ?

00:04:01.859 --> 00:04:02.779
 We will.

00:04:03.219 --> 00:04:03.699
 Excellent.

00:04:03.699 --> 00:04:09.319
 Let's join with this child to proclaim our faith in the words of the ancient baptismal

00:04:09.319 --> 00:04:10.979
 confession, the Apostles' Creed.

00:04:11.060 --> 00:04:11.899
 I invite you to stand.

00:04:15.479 --> 00:04:18.039
 Do you believe and trust in God the Father?

00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:19.680
 I do.

00:04:20.079 --> 00:04:24.500
 I believe in God, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

00:04:24.980 --> 00:04:27.240
 Do you believe and trust in Jesus Christ?

00:04:28.079 --> 00:04:28.839
 I do.

00:04:28.839 --> 00:04:32.459
 I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

00:04:33.019 --> 00:04:37.079
 He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

00:04:37.619 --> 00:04:42.079
 He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

00:04:42.699 --> 00:04:44.039
 He descended to the dead.

00:04:44.479 --> 00:04:46.379
 On the third day, he rose again.

00:04:47.059 --> 00:04:51.059
 He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

00:04:51.699 --> 00:04:54.479
 He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

00:04:55.179 --> 00:04:57.379
 Do you believe and trust in the Holy Spirit?

00:04:57.379 --> 00:04:58.879
 I do.

00:04:59.379 --> 00:05:05.560
 I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness

00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:10.000
 of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

00:05:10.480 --> 00:05:10.899
 Amen.

00:05:11.980 --> 00:05:16.379
 And let us now pray for this child who is to receive the sacrament of baptism.

00:05:17.379 --> 00:05:22.959
 That this child may come to confess his faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

00:05:23.959 --> 00:05:26.279
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:31.859
 That this child may continue in the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, in the breaking

00:05:31.859 --> 00:05:33.639
 of bread, and in the prayers.

00:05:34.419 --> 00:05:36.659
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:42.839
 That he may walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which he has been called, ever growing

00:05:42.839 --> 00:05:45.239
 in faith and all heavenly virtues.

00:05:45.959 --> 00:05:48.339
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:05:48.339 --> 00:05:55.339
 That he may persevere in resisting evil, and whenever he falls into sin, repent and return

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:56.039
 to the Lord.

00:05:56.519 --> 00:05:59.060
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:05:59.479 --> 00:06:05.839
 That he may proclaim by word and deed the good news of God and Christ Jesus to a lost and

00:06:05.839 --> 00:06:06.659
 broken world.

00:06:07.359 --> 00:06:09.679
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:15.600
 That as a living member of the body of Christ, he may grow up in every way, and to him who

00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:16.360
 is the head.

00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:19.420
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:06:20.060 --> 00:06:26.480
 That looking to Jesus, he may run with endurance the race set before him, and at the last, receive

00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:28.579
 the unfading crown of glory.

00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:31.620
 He beseeched you to hear us, dear Lord.

00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:34.780
 Let us pray.

00:06:35.540 --> 00:06:40.699
 Almighty and everlasting Father, in your great mercy you saved Noah and his family in the

00:06:40.699 --> 00:06:45.360
 ark from the destruction of the flood, prefiguring the sacrament of holy baptism.

00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:47.840
 Look mercifully upon this, your servant.

00:06:48.480 --> 00:06:53.600
 Wash and sanctify him through our Holy Spirit, that he may be delivered from destruction and

00:06:53.600 --> 00:06:55.639
 received into the ark of Christ's church.

00:06:56.180 --> 00:07:01.600
 And being steadfast in faith, joyful through hope, and rooted in love, he may pass through

00:07:01.600 --> 00:07:06.260
 the turbulent floods of this troublesome world, and come into the land of everlasting life.

00:07:06.700 --> 00:07:08.200
 Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:09.439
 Amen.

00:07:18.020 --> 00:07:19.160
 The Lord be with you.

00:07:19.800 --> 00:07:21.040
 And also with you.

00:07:21.780 --> 00:07:22.960
 Lift up your hearts.

00:07:23.340 --> 00:07:24.920
 Lift up your hearts to the Lord.

00:07:25.100 --> 00:07:26.960
 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

00:07:27.340 --> 00:07:29.700
 It is right to give him thanks and praise.

00:07:29.699 --> 00:07:33.300
 We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water.

00:07:34.000 --> 00:07:36.599
 Over it, the Holy Spirit moved in the beginning of creation.

00:07:37.379 --> 00:07:41.319
 Through it, you led the children of Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise.

00:07:42.060 --> 00:07:48.500
 In it, your son Jesus received the baptism of John in the river Jordan, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him as a dove.

00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:51.579
 We thank you, Father, for the water of baptism.

00:07:52.319 --> 00:07:54.419
 In it, we are buried with Christ in his death.

00:07:55.120 --> 00:07:56.719
 By it, we share in his resurrection.

00:07:56.720 --> 00:07:59.860
 Through it, we are made regenerate by the Holy Spirit.

00:08:00.700 --> 00:08:12.300
 Therefore, in joyful obedience to your son, we bring into his fellowship those who come to him in faith, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

00:08:12.300 --> 00:08:17.740
 Now, Father, sanctify this water by the power of your Holy Spirit.

00:08:18.819 --> 00:08:27.540
 May all who are baptized here be cleansed from sin, be born again, and continue forever faithful in the risen life of Jesus Christ, our Savior.

00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:32.740
 To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit be all honor and glory, now and forever.

00:08:33.500 --> 00:08:33.840
 Amen.

00:08:33.840 --> 00:08:34.019
 Amen.

00:08:39.019 --> 00:08:44.379
 I invite you all to step over here, and I am going to take you, cutie.

00:08:45.280 --> 00:08:45.500
 Hey.

00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:45.580
 Hey.

00:08:54.200 --> 00:09:01.180
 Look, everybody is here, and they love you, and there's your mom and dad, and your brother and sister.

00:09:01.179 --> 00:09:11.099
 But the one who loves you the most is Jesus, and it's because of his love for you and promises that he made to you before you were born.

00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.679
 It's because of that that we baptize you.

00:09:14.319 --> 00:09:15.299
 Name this child.

00:09:16.179 --> 00:09:24.339
 Reuben, Alistair, I baptize you in the name of the Father.

00:09:24.340 --> 00:09:24.879
 Amen.

00:09:25.060 --> 00:09:25.160
 Amen.

00:09:29.220 --> 00:09:30.420
 And of the Son.

00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:35.740
 And of the Holy Spirit.

00:09:36.180 --> 00:09:49.660
 You are sealed by the Holy Spirit in baptism, and you are marked as Christ's own forever and ever.

00:09:50.420 --> 00:09:50.740
 Amen.

00:09:51.340 --> 00:09:51.680
 Amen.

00:09:52.680 --> 00:09:53.060
 Amen.

00:09:53.060 --> 00:09:53.420
 Amen.

00:09:54.340 --> 00:10:12.100
 Heavenly Father, we thank you that by water and the Holy Spirit, you have bestowed upon

00:10:12.100 --> 00:10:17.660
 this your servant the forgiveness of sin, received him as your own child by adoption,

00:10:17.660 --> 00:10:22.160
 made him a member of your holy church, and raised him to new life of grace.

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.779
 Sustain him, O Lord, in your Holy Spirit, that he may enjoy everlasting salvation through

00:10:26.779 --> 00:10:28.779
 Jesus Christ our Lord.

00:10:28.779 --> 00:10:30.279
 Amen.

00:10:30.279 --> 00:10:34.339
 Let's say these words together and welcome the newly baptized.

00:10:34.339 --> 00:10:41.039
 We receive you into the fellowship of the church, confess the faith of Christ crucified, proclaim

00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:48.079
 his resurrection, and share with us in the royal priesthood of all his people.

00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:54.700
 Now we have a gift from Heather, one of our children and family ministry directors.

00:10:54.700 --> 00:11:02.960
 On behalf of Family Ministries, Reuben, I'd like to welcome you into our church family.

00:11:02.960 --> 00:11:04.700
 We're delighted to have you here.

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:05.700
 And we have a gift for you.

00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:10.120
 We have a board book that will teach you about the Bible.

00:11:10.120 --> 00:11:15.740
 And we have a candle that we hope you can light each year to commemorate your baptism.

00:11:15.740 --> 00:11:16.740
 Wonderful.

00:11:16.740 --> 00:11:19.820
 Now we have a tradition in our church.

00:11:19.820 --> 00:11:21.060
 You all may be seated.

00:11:21.060 --> 00:11:28.580
 We have a tradition in our church that when we baptize a child, we welcome them into the

00:11:28.580 --> 00:11:30.299
 church by singing to them.

00:11:30.299 --> 00:11:36.579
 And as we sing together, we're going to exit and then we will re-enter, marking Reuben's

00:11:36.579 --> 00:11:40.159
 entry into our church family.

00:11:40.159 --> 00:11:42.179
 And as we do this, we're going to sing.

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:45.000
 Hillary's going to lead us in singing, Jesus Loves You.

00:11:45.000 --> 00:11:46.000
 Jesus Loves You.

00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:47.000
 Jesus Loves You.

00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:48.000
 Jesus Loves You.

00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:50.000
 This I know.

00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.000
 For the Bible tells me so.

00:11:56.000 --> 00:12:02.000
 There's no one to give me long.

00:12:02.000 --> 00:12:08.000
 They are weak, but he is strong.

00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:14.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:12:14.000 --> 00:12:21.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:26.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:31.000
 The Bible tells me so.

00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:32.000
 Amen.

00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:36.000
 Jesus loves you.

00:12:36.000 --> 00:12:39.000
 This I know.

00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:46.000
 For the Bible tells me so.

00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:51.000
 Little ones to him belong.

00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:57.000
 They are weak, but he is strong.

00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:58.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:12:58.000 --> 00:13:04.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:10.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.000
 Yes, Jesus loves you.

00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:20.000
 The Bible tells me so.

00:13:20.000 --> 00:13:21.000
 Amen.

00:13:21.000 --> 00:13:22.000
 Amen.

00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.000
 I invite you to stand.

00:13:23.000 --> 00:13:27.000
 May the peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be always with you.

00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:28.000
 And also with you.

00:13:28.000 --> 00:13:35.000
 Let us greet one another with the peace of Christ and let's give thanks for our newest member.

00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:36.000
 And thank you.

00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:37.000
 Thank you.

00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:38.000
 Thank you very much.

00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:39.000
 Thank you.

00:13:39.000 --> 00:13:40.000
 Thank you.

00:13:40.000 --> 00:14:09.980
 Thank you.

00:14:10.000 --> 00:14:27.100
 All right, friends, I invite you to gather back together.

00:14:32.440 --> 00:14:38.779
 As we prepare to come to the Lord's table, a couple of items for you as the children return.

00:14:39.659 --> 00:14:44.360
 Number one, our instructions for the Lord's table are in the bulletin.

00:14:44.459 --> 00:14:48.240
 So if you're new to the church, you could take a moment to read over that, and it'll

00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:49.919
 help you understand how it works.

00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:55.319
 Also, as we come to the table, we take a moment to reflect on the ways that God has provided

00:14:55.319 --> 00:14:59.860
 for us as His ultimate provision comes in the offering of Himself.

00:15:00.259 --> 00:15:05.559
 And so this is an appropriate time out of gratitude to give as an act of worship.

00:15:05.559 --> 00:15:07.899
 And there are a couple of ways you can do that.

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:10.359
 You can use the link that you see in the bulletin.

00:15:10.459 --> 00:15:11.719
 There's a QR code there.

00:15:11.899 --> 00:15:17.679
 Or you can give here using the offering boxes in the back of the sanctuary.

00:15:17.899 --> 00:15:20.379
 So take a moment to reflect on God's provision in your life.

00:15:21.019 --> 00:15:25.339
 And as you give, see that as a way of responding to His generosity.

00:15:25.340 --> 00:15:30.639
 Let us ascribe to the Lord the honor, do His name, bring offerings, and come into His courts.

00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:48.639
 Should nothing of our efforts stand, no legacy survive.

00:15:48.639 --> 00:16:00.860
 Unless the Lord does raise the house in vain, its builders strive.

00:16:00.860 --> 00:16:13.960
 To you who boast tomorrow's gain, tell me what is your life.

00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:25.920
 A list that vanishes at dawn, all glory be to Christ.

00:16:25.919 --> 00:16:33.079
 All glory be to Christ our King.

00:16:33.079 --> 00:16:38.759
 All glory be to Christ.

00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:45.039
 His rule and reign will ever sing.

00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:50.299
 All glory be to Christ.

00:16:50.299 --> 00:17:20.279
 His will be to Christ.

00:17:20.299 --> 00:17:23.299
 The glory water satisfy.

00:17:23.299 --> 00:17:29.519
 The thirsty without price.

00:17:29.519 --> 00:17:35.639
 We'll take the cup of kindness yet.

00:17:35.639 --> 00:17:41.000
 All glory be to Christ.

00:17:41.000 --> 00:17:47.599
 All glory be to Christ our King.

00:17:47.599 --> 00:17:52.599
 All glory be to Christ.

00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:59.319
 His rule and reign will ever sing.

00:17:59.319 --> 00:18:04.599
 All glory be to Christ.

00:18:04.599 --> 00:18:16.599
 When on the day the great I am, the faithful and the true.

00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:28.819
 The Lamb who was for sinners slain is making all things new.

00:18:28.819 --> 00:18:35.819
 Behold, our God shall live with us.

00:18:35.819 --> 00:18:40.819
 And He our steadfast life.

00:18:40.819 --> 00:18:41.819
 All glory be to God.

00:18:41.819 --> 00:18:42.819
 The Lord shall live with us.

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:45.819
 All glory be to Christ.

00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:50.740
 All glory be to Christ.

00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:52.819
 All glory be to Christ.

00:18:52.819 --> 00:18:58.819
 All glory be to Christ our King.

00:18:58.819 --> 00:19:00.819
 All glory be to Christ.

00:19:00.819 --> 00:19:05.200
 Glory be to Christ.

00:19:05.200 --> 00:19:11.359
 His rule that we will ever see.

00:19:11.779 --> 00:19:18.079
 Glory be to Christ.

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:19.879
 Please stand and sing a verse.

00:19:21.379 --> 00:19:28.039
 Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

00:19:28.039 --> 00:19:37.420
 Praise Him, all creatures here below.

00:19:39.639 --> 00:19:48.240
 Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts.

00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:58.759
 Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

00:19:59.620 --> 00:20:03.380
 Amen.

00:20:03.380 --> 00:20:04.380
 Amen.

00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:12.920
 Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty.

00:20:13.660 --> 00:20:16.740
 For everything in heaven and on earth is yours.

00:20:17.420 --> 00:20:21.120
 Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and your exalted is head above all.

00:20:21.900 --> 00:20:24.020
 All things come from you, O Lord.

00:20:24.560 --> 00:20:26.860
 And of your own have we given you.

00:20:26.859 --> 00:20:27.059
 Amen.

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:34.919
 We welcome to this table all of those who have been baptized in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

00:20:35.240 --> 00:20:45.419
 If you are seeking to follow Jesus in faith and repentance, pursuing reconciliation with those in our midst, then come and receive this meal.

00:20:45.879 --> 00:20:52.079
 For fuller instructions, you can read in the bulletin how to come to the table if this is your first time.

00:20:52.079 --> 00:20:54.099
 Let's worship the Lord together.

00:20:54.639 --> 00:20:55.839
 The Lord be with you.

00:20:56.319 --> 00:20:57.639
 And also with you.

00:20:58.119 --> 00:20:59.220
 Lift up your hearts.

00:20:59.679 --> 00:21:01.079
 We lift them up to the Lord.

00:21:01.220 --> 00:21:03.460
 Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

00:21:03.659 --> 00:21:06.179
 It is right to give Him thanks and praise.

00:21:06.339 --> 00:21:16.059
 It is right our duty and joy always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

00:21:16.379 --> 00:21:20.199
 For He is your living word from before time and for all ages.

00:21:20.200 --> 00:21:25.900
 By Him you created all things and by Him you make all things new.

00:21:26.580 --> 00:21:35.819
 Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name.

00:21:35.819 --> 00:22:05.799
 Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna.

00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:35.799
 Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna.

00:22:35.799 --> 00:22:44.759
 Hosanna, Hosanna.

 O Zéa, O Zéa, in the eye.

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:29.579
 O Zéa, O Zéa, in the eye.

00:23:29.579 --> 00:23:30.579
 Amen.

00:23:59.579 --> 00:24:29.579


00:24:29.579 --> 00:24:59.579


00:24:59.579 --> 00:25:29.579


00:25:29.579 --> 00:25:59.579


00:25:59.579 --> 00:26:04.579
 Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.

00:26:04.579 --> 00:26:09.759
 Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

00:26:09.759 --> 00:26:12.679
 Give us this day our daily bread.

00:26:12.679 --> 00:26:17.980
 Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.

00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:22.240
 And lead us not in temptation, but deliver us from evil.

00:26:22.240 --> 00:26:27.579
 For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

00:26:27.579 --> 00:26:32.579
 Amen.

00:26:32.579 --> 00:26:38.379
 Alleluia, Christ our Passover has sacrificed once for all upon the cross.

 Behold Him who takes away the sins of the world.

00:26:50.779 --> 00:26:57.439
 Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

00:26:57.440 --> 00:27:02.440
 If you'll be seated, our ushers will invite you forward.

 You have redeemed my soul from the pit of emptiness.

 You have redeemed my soul from death.

 And nothing is impossible for you.

 And nothing is impossible for you.

 And nothing is impossible for you.

00:33:19.779 --> 00:33:34.119
 Jesus scatters the seeds of his kingdom.

00:33:34.119 --> 00:33:40.459
 Lord and why he announces new birth.

00:33:40.459 --> 00:33:47.119
 I, the Lord of creation, am making new.

00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:53.459
 Every inch of this groaning earth.

00:33:53.459 --> 00:33:59.339
 Oh, we wait for the Lord of the harvest.

00:33:59.339 --> 00:34:05.559
 And we long for our King to appear.

00:34:05.559 --> 00:34:12.819
 Oh, now in our hearts, by the Spirit's power.

00:34:12.820 --> 00:34:18.039
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:34:21.039 --> 00:34:27.620
 Like the smallest of seeds in the winter.

00:34:28.039 --> 00:34:33.300
 Is the kingdom of God and its soul.

00:34:33.300 --> 00:34:40.519
 But the powers of hell shall against each man.

00:34:40.519 --> 00:34:45.140
 And the kingdom of God is cold.

00:34:45.139 --> 00:34:52.359
 Oh, now in our hearts, by the Lord of the harvest.

00:34:52.359 --> 00:34:57.359
 And we long for our King to appear.

00:34:57.360 --> 00:35:09.579
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:35:09.579 --> 00:35:18.579
 He has planted the seeds of his kingdom.

00:35:18.579 --> 00:35:25.799
 In the hearts of the poor and the weak.

00:35:25.799 --> 00:35:28.799
 He declares to the captives.

00:35:28.799 --> 00:35:31.920
 I bring good news.

00:35:31.920 --> 00:35:36.799
 You shall be mighty old to stay.

00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:43.019
 Though we wait for the Lord of the harvest.

00:35:43.019 --> 00:35:49.019
 And we long for our King to appear.

00:35:49.019 --> 00:35:56.400
 Even now in our hearts, by the Spirit's power.

00:35:56.400 --> 00:36:01.280
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:36:01.280 --> 00:36:10.840
 Through the city of God flows a river.

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:16.680
 From the throne of the Lamb waters more.

00:36:17.460 --> 00:36:23.440
 And behold, on His face grows the tree of life.

00:36:23.640 --> 00:36:28.060
 Where the nations are healed and restored.

00:36:28.059 --> 00:36:34.400
 Though we wait for the Lord of the harvest.

00:36:34.400 --> 00:36:40.400
 And we long for our King to appear.

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:47.619
 Even now in our hearts, by the Spirit's power.

00:36:47.619 --> 00:36:52.199
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:36:52.199 --> 00:36:52.920
 The kingdom.

00:36:52.920 --> 00:36:58.800
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:36:58.800 --> 00:37:05.440
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:17.780
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:37:17.780 --> 00:37:18.780
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:37:18.780 --> 00:37:23.139
 Friends, we are here only because Christ has offered Himself to us.

00:37:23.139 --> 00:37:28.700
 And now that we have received His grace and been sustained by His very presence with us,

00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:31.179
 it is only right that we give thanks.

00:37:31.679 --> 00:37:32.599
 So I invite you to stand.

00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:42.700
 O God of our ancestors, God of our people, before whose face the human generations pass

00:37:42.700 --> 00:37:48.659
 away, we thank you that in you we are kept safe forever and that the broken fragments

00:37:48.659 --> 00:37:54.579
 of our history are gathered up in the redeeming act of your dear Son, remembered in this holy

00:37:54.579 --> 00:37:56.320
 sacrament of bread and wine.

00:37:56.900 --> 00:38:02.639
 Help us to walk daily in the communion of saints, declaring our faith in the forgiveness of sins

00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:04.340
 and the resurrection of the body.

00:38:04.340 --> 00:38:10.559
 Now send us out in the power of your Holy Spirit to live and work for your praise and glory.

00:38:11.260 --> 00:38:11.660
 Amen.

00:38:12.600 --> 00:38:13.860
 A couple of really quick things.

00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:19.820
 Number one, if you are part of our church, a regular attender or a member, invitations

00:38:19.820 --> 00:38:21.140
 are going out right now.

00:38:21.600 --> 00:38:26.460
 Our hope is to get everybody in our church to one of a number of gatherings that will

00:38:26.460 --> 00:38:28.059
 be coming up in the coming weeks.

00:38:28.059 --> 00:38:32.500
 We'd love for you to hear more about For the City, and we'd love for you to be praying

00:38:32.500 --> 00:38:37.340
 now and asking God, what does God want to do through me in this church, in this city,

00:38:37.759 --> 00:38:40.000
 through everything that's happening over this next year.

00:38:40.340 --> 00:38:43.000
 So look for those invitations in your inboxes.

00:38:43.539 --> 00:38:50.059
 And also look for, we are going to be mailing packets out to all of you that will have additional

00:38:50.059 --> 00:38:50.900
 information as well.

00:38:50.900 --> 00:38:54.619
 So look for that in the actual, real, concrete, flesh-and-blood snail mail.

00:38:54.960 --> 00:38:55.780
 It's coming to you.

00:38:55.940 --> 00:38:57.900
 So lots to look forward to.

00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:02.539
 And number two, if you're new to our church, we're having a brunch downstairs in the choir

00:39:02.539 --> 00:39:05.660
 room immediately after the service, a newcomer's brunch where we're going to share more about

00:39:05.660 --> 00:39:08.139
 the church and answer any questions that you might have.

00:39:08.300 --> 00:39:09.740
 We would love for you to join us.

00:39:09.860 --> 00:39:12.960
 Even if you hadn't signed up, if you're new, if this is your first time, come.

00:39:13.099 --> 00:39:13.800
 We have enough food.

00:39:13.800 --> 00:39:15.920
 Now let's receive God's blessing together.

00:39:16.720 --> 00:39:20.260
 All of our problems, we send to the cross of Christ.

00:39:20.680 --> 00:39:23.900
 All of our difficulties, we send to the cross of Christ.

00:39:24.019 --> 00:39:27.000
 All the devil's works, we send to the cross of Christ.

00:39:27.280 --> 00:39:30.180
 And all of our hopes, we set on the risen Christ.

00:39:30.480 --> 00:39:34.700
 May Christ, the Son of Righteousness, shine upon you and scatter the darkness from before

00:39:34.700 --> 00:39:35.420
 your path.

00:39:35.860 --> 00:39:40.820
 May the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit be among you

00:39:40.820 --> 00:39:42.840
 and remain with you forever and always.

00:39:42.840 --> 00:39:43.840
 Amen.

00:40:12.840 --> 00:40:13.340
 Amen.

00:40:13.340 --> 00:40:13.840
 The kingdom of God is now.

00:40:13.840 --> 00:40:14.840
 Amen.

00:40:14.840 --> 00:40:15.840
 Now let's move.

 Amen.

00:40:16.840 --> 00:40:17.840
 Amen.

00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:24.840
 Oh, we wait for the Lord of the harvest and we long for our King to appear.

00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:26.840
 Even now with our hearts by the Spirit's power, the kingdom of God is near.

00:40:26.840 --> 00:40:28.840
 The kingdom of God is near.

00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:32.840
