Welcome, we’re glad you’re here. Our vision echoes the Lord’s prayer: may it be “in the South Bay, as it is in heaven.” We yearn to see people flourishing in Jesus. Join us in the worship of our Lord.
PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
For all the promises of God find their Yes in him.
That is why it is through him that we utter our Amen
to God for his glory.
2 Cor.1:20
God is not man, that he should lie,
or a son of man, that he should change his mind.
Has he said, and will he not do it?
Or has he spoken, and will he not fulfill it?
Numbers 23:19
“Do not think that I have come to abolish
the Law or the Prophets;
I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”
Matthew 5:17
“And now I am about to go the way of all the earth,
and you know in your hearts and souls, all of you,
that not one word has failed of all the good things
that the Lord your God promised concerning you.
All have come to pass for you;
not one of them has failed.
Joshua 23:14
If we are faithless, he remains faithful —
for he cannot deny himself.
2 Timothy 2:13
“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.”
– J.R.R. Tolkien
“Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”
― Corrie ten Boom
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP
O Lord, you are my God;
I will exalt you; I will praise your name,
for you have done wonderful things,
plans formed of old, faithful and sure.
Isa.25:1
His Mercy is More
[Chorus]
Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness
New every morn’
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
[Verse 1]
What love could remember
No wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing
He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea
Without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
[Verse 2]
What patience would wait
As we constantly roam
What Father so tender
Is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest
The vilest the poor
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
What riches of kindness
He lavished on us
His blood was the payment
His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt
We could never afford
Our sins they are many
His mercy is more
[Chorus]
SONG
Your Words are Wonderful
[Verse 1]
Your words are wonderful, unfolding like the dawn
A wellspring and the rock we rest upon
We trust Your promises that keep our hope alive
They steady us throughout life’s weary climb
[Chorus]
Where else can we go? Where else can we go?
You have the words of life, the words of life
[Verse 2]
Come write Your holy truth upon our longing hearts
And strengthen us to shine against the dark
Lord, guard us from the lies the enеmy will speak
No guilt remains for those You havе redeemed
[Chorus]
Where else can we go? Where else can we go?
You have the words of life, the words of life
Make Your glory known, make Your glory known
Through all Your words of life, Your words of life
[Bridge]
Give us ears to hear and eyes to see
Help us in our doubt and unbelief
[Chorus]
Where else can we go? Where else can we go?
You have the words of life, the words of life
Oh, make Your glory known, make Your glory known
Through all Your words of life, Your words of life
Through all Your words of life, Your words of life
APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
[*catholic means universal]
SONG
Take My Life and Let it Be
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee
Take my moments and my days
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take my silver and my gold
Not a mite would I withhold
Take my intellect and use
Every power as thou shalt choose
Every power as thou shalt choose
Take my will and make it thine
It shall be no longer mine
Take my heart, it is thine own
It shall be thy royal throne
It shall bе thy royal throne
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its trеasure-store
Take my self, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee
Ever, only, all for thee

SERMON
“Good & Faithful Servant”
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey,
who called his servants
and entrusted to them his property.
15 To one he gave five talents,
to another two,
to another one,
to each according to his ability. Then he went away.
16 He who had received the five talents went at once
and traded with them, and he made five talents more.
17 So also he who had the two talents
made two talents more.
18 But he who had received the one talent
went and dug in the ground
and hid his master’s money.
19 Now after a long time the master of those servants
came and settled accounts with them.
20 And he who had received the five talents
came forward, bringing five talents more, saying,
‘Master, you delivered to me five talents;
here, I have made five talents more.’
21 His master said to him,
‘Well done, good and faithful servant.
You have been faithful over a little;
I will set you over much.
Enter into the joy of your master.’
22 And he also who had the two talents came forward,
saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents;
here, I have made two talents more.’
23 His master said to him,
‘Well done, good and faithful servant.
You have been faithful over a little;
I will set you over much.
Enter into the joy of your master.’
24 He also who had received the one talent
came forward, saying,
‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man,
reaping where you did not sow,
and gathering where you scattered no seed,
25 so I was afraid,
and I went and hid your talent in the ground.
Here, you have what is yours.’
26 But his master answered him,
‘You wicked and slothful servant!
You knew that I reap where I have not sown
and gather where I scattered no seed?
27 Then you ought to have invested my money
with the bankers, and at my coming
I should have received what was my own with interest.
28 So take the talent from him
and give it to him who has the ten talents.
29 For to everyone who has will more be given,
and he will have an abundance.
But from the one who has not,
even what he has will be taken away.
30 And cast the worthless servant
into the outer darkness. In that place
there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Matthew 25:14-30 (ESV)
SONG
Place of Freedom
[Verse 1]
There’s a calm that covers me
When I kneel down at Your feet
It’s a place of healing
It’s a place where I find freedom
There’s a place my eyes can’t see
Where my spirit longs to be
It’s a place of healing
It’s a place I live in freedom
[Chorus]
I’m gonna lift my hands ’til I can reach heaven
I’m gonna shout Your name
’til the walls come falling down
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
[Verse 2]
There’s a love that lives in me
For You, Lord, my Savior King
Who breaks the sin that’s binding
And leads me to a place of freedom
[Chorus]
I’m gonna lift my hands ’til I can reach heaven
I’m gonna shout Your name ’til the walls come falling down
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
I’m gonna sing my song like I am unashamed
I’m gonna shout for joy at the mention of Your name
I’ve come to worship, I’ve come to worship
[Bridge]
There’s no one that can bring me peace
That can wash me clean like You, Lord
There’s nothing in this world that can free me
You saved my soul
[Chorus]
BENEDICTION
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is his faithfulness.
