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
“Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!”
Psalm 150:6
“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.”
Romans 12:1
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly,
teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom,
singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs,
with thankfulness in your hearts to God.”
Colossians 3:16
And Jesus answered him, “It is written, “‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’”
Luke 4:8
“There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship.”
– David Foster Wallace
“A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.”
– CS Lewis
“I can safely say, on the authority of all that is revealed in the Word of God, that any man or woman on this earth who is bored and turned off by worship is not ready for heaven.”
― A.W. Tozer
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
Psalm 96:1-3

SONG
Battle Hymn of the Republic
[Verse 1]
Mine eyes have seen the glory
Of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage
Where the grapes of wrath are stored
He hath loosed the fateful lightning
Of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
[Chorus]
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah
His truth is marching on
[Verse 2]
He is coming like the glory
of the morning on the wave
He is wisdom to the mighty
He is honor to the brave
So the world shall be his footstool
and the soul of wrong his slave
Our God is marching on
[Chorus]
SCRIPTURE READING
For you have not come to what may be touched,
a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest
and the sound of a trumpet and a voice
whose words made the hearers beg
that no further messages be spoken to them.
For they could not endure the order that was given,
“If even a beast touches the mountain,
it shall be stoned.”
Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said,
“I tremble with fear.”
But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city
of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to innumerable angels in festal gathering,
and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled
in heaven, and to God, the judge of all,
and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant,
and to the sprinkled blood
that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
See that you do not refuse him who is speaking.
For if they did not escape when they refused
him who warned them on earth,
much less will we escape if we reject
him who warns from heaven.
At that time his voice shook the earth,
but now he has promised,
“Yet once more I will shake not only the earth
but also the heavens.”
This phrase, “Yet once more,”
indicates the removal of things that are shaken
— that is, things that have been made —
in order that the things that cannot be shaken
may remain.
Therefore let us be grateful for receiving
a kingdom that cannot be shaken,
and thus let us offer to God acceptable worship,
with reverence and awe,
for our God is a consuming fire.
Hebrews 12:18-29
SONG
Be Lifted Up
[Verse]
Be lifted up, be lifted up
As we bow down, be lifted up
[Chorus]
Let the heavens rejoice, let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth tremble, for you are God
Come and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
As we bow down, be lifted up
As we bow down, be lifted up
[Verse]
[Chorus]
[Coda]
I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee
I exalt Thee, O Lord

SERMON
“Worship”
Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
2 Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
3 For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
4 In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
5 The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
6 Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!
7 For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
Today, if you hear his voice,
8 do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,
as on the day at Massah in the wilderness,
9 when your fathers put me to the test
and put me to the proof, though they had seen my work.
10 For forty years I loathed that generation
and said, “They are a people who go astray in their heart,
and they have not known my ways.”
11 Therefore I swore in my wrath,
“They shall not enter my rest.”
Psalm 95 (ESV)
SONG
Great is Our God
[Verse 1]
Come, let us praise Him
Let us kneel at the throne of our God
Through His Son our salvation was bought
With mercy and grace
Come, let us bow down
In His hands are the depths of the earth
With one voice we proclaim His great worth
Lord, our God
[Chorus]
And we will seek Him
Our Rock of Salvation
Morning by morning
With thanksgiving we come
And we will bow down
With creation we cry out
In daylight and darkness
We sing to the Lord
Great is our God
Great is our God
Great is our God
[Verse 2]
Lord of all nations
We will stand at the end of our days
In Your courts and declare Your great ways
In Spirit and Truth
We long for Your Kingdom
Bring Your thunder and gather the earth
All who tremble will tell of Your worth
Lord, our God
[Chorus]
BENEDICTION
