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
I appeal to you, brothers,
by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
that all of you agree,
and that there be no divisions among you,
but that you be united
in the same mind and the same judgment.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Finally, all of you, have unity of mind,
sympathy, brotherly love,
a tender heart, and a humble mind.
1 Peter 3:8
Complete my joy by being of the same mind,
having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind.
Philippians 2:2
For as in one body we have many members, and
the members do not all have the same function,
so we, though many, are one body in Christ,
and individually members one of another.
Romans 12:4-5
“Unity in the essentials,
liberty in the non-essentials,
charity in all things.”
– Augustine of Hippo
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP
Behold, how good and pleasant it is
when brothers dwell in unity!
Psalm 133:1
Our God
Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You
Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You
Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other
Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God
Our God
And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
SONG
Rock of Ages
[Verse 1]
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure
Save from wrath and make me pure
[Verse 2]
Not the labor of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone
[Verse 3]
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress
Helpless, look to Thee for grace
Foul, I to the fountain fly,
Wash me, Savior, or I die
[Verse 4]
While I draw this fleeting breath
When my eyes shall close in death
When I rise to worlds un – known
And behold Thee on Thy throne
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
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
Come Ye Sinners
[Verse 1]
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Bruised and broken by the fall
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pardoning love for all
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more
[Verse 2]
Let not conscience make you linger
Nor of fitness fondly dream
All that he requires of sinners
Is to turn and trust in Him
He will save you, He will save you
‘Tis the gospel’s constant theme
He will save you, He will save you
‘Tis the gospel’s constant theme
[Coda]
He will save us, He will save us
‘Tis the gospel’s constant theme
He is able, He is able
He is willing, doubt no more

SERMON
“The Lord’s Prayer: for Unity”
20 “I do not ask for these only, but also
for those who will believe in me
through their word,
21 that they may all be one,
just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you,
that they also may be in us, so that
the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 The glory that you have given me
I have given to them,
that they may be one even as we are one,
23 I in them and you in me,
that they may become perfectly one,
so that the world may know that you sent me
and loved them even as you loved me.
24 Father, I desire that they also,
whom you have given me,
may be with me where I am,
to see my glory that you have given me
because you loved me
before the foundation of the world.
25 O righteous Father,
even though the world does not know you,
I know you, and these know that
you have sent me.
26 I made known to them your name,
and I will continue to make it known,
that the love with which you have loved me
may be in them, and I in them.”
John 17:20-26
COMMUNION
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
So if there is any encouragement in Christ,
any comfort from love,
any participation in the Spirit,
any affection and sympathy,
complete my joy by being of the same mind,
having the same love,
being in full accord and of one mind.
Philippians 2:1-2
