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 the Lord comforts Zion;
    he comforts all her waste places
and makes her wilderness like Eden,
    her desert like the garden of the Lord;
joy and gladness will be found in her,
    thanksgiving and the voice of song.
Isaiah 51:3

And they will say, ‘This land that was desolate
   has become like the garden of Eden,
and the waste and desolate and ruined cities
   are now fortified and inhabited.’
Ezekiel 36:35 

The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad;
    the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus;
it shall blossom abundantly
    and rejoice with joy and singing.
Isaiah 35:1-2

Repent therefore, and turn back,
   that your sins may be blotted out,
that times of refreshing may come
   from the presence of the Lord,
…the time for restoring all the things…
Acts 3:19-21

…God himself will be with them as their God. 
He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,
   and death shall be no more,
neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain
   anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
Revelation 21:3-4

“The house of my soul is too small for you to come into it. May it be enlarged by you. It is in ruins, restore it.”
– Augustine of Hippo

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing;
    you have loosed my sackcloth
    and clothed me with gladness,
that my glory may sing your praise and not be silent.
    O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever!
Psalm 30:11-12

Holy, Holy, Holy

[Verse 1]
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity

[Verse 2]
Holy, holy, holy! all the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim, falling down before thee
Who was and is and evermore shall be

[Verse 3]
Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man thy glory may not see
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity

[Verse 4]
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity

CHILDREN’S MINISTRY: FATHER’S DAY

SONG 3

Good Good Father

[Verse1]
Oh, I’ve heard a thousand stories
of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone

[Chorus]
You’re a Good, Good Father
It’s who you are, It’s who you are
It’s who you are

And I’m loved by you
It’s who I am, It’s who I am
It’s who I am

[Verse 2]
Oh, I’ve seen many searching
for answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

[Verse 3]
Oh, this love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think

As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love

[Chorus]

SERMON
“Restore Eden”

SONG

Cornerstone

[Verse 1]
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus name

[Chorus]
Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm, He is Lord
Lord of all

[Verse 2]
When darkness seems to hide His face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
My anchor holds within the veil

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
Faultless stand before the throne

[Chorus]

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

BENEDICTION

“Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
    and declare it in the coastlands far away;
say, ‘He who scattered Israel will gather him,
    and will keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.’

For the Lord has ransomed Jacob
    and has redeemed him from hands too strong for him.
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion,
    and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord,

over the grain, the wine, and the oil,
    and over the young of the flock and the herd;
their life shall be like a watered garden,
    and they shall languish no more.

Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance,
    and the young men and the old shall be merry.
I will turn their mourning into joy;
    I will comfort them, and give them gladness for sorrow.
Jeremiah 31:10-13
