Confession of SinExalted LORD Almighty, you are indeed holy, holy, holy. The whole earth is full of your glory.  You know all things. As sinful creatures we cannot hide from you. We cannot confuse you. You know our faults, our sins, our pains, our fears, our unfulfilled dreams. Lord God we lay them all before you. We need your mercy and your grace.   

Create within us clean lips, clean hearts and clean hands, that we might joyfully walk in your ways.  Holy Spirit, renew our faith that we might be Your people spreading your love to a dying world. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)Chris Tomlin, Louie Giglio, John Newton

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fearAnd grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appearThe hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I’ve been set freeMy God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood his mercy reignsUnending love, amazing grace

Scripture ReadingColossians 3:1-17

If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2  Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

Scripture ReadingColossians 3:1-17

5  Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. 6  On account of these the wrath of God is coming. 7  In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. 8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. 9  Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices 10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Scripture ReadingColossians 3:1-17

11  Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

12  Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13  bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

Scripture ReadingColossians 3:1-17

15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 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. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

SPIRITUAL RENEWAL

THROUGH CHRIST(PART 1)

EPHESIANS 4:17-24Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

But that is not the way you learned Christ!— assuming that you have heard about him and were taught in him, as the truth is in Jesus, to put off your old self, which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.

God urges us to live as radically renewed

members of Christ’s body in this world
