Good evening. Welcome to Calvary Chapel. I'm glad that you've joined us tonight for a night of worship. I want to open up just by reading a little passage of scripture out of the Psalms, and then we'll open up in prayer and let the worship team take it from there. So this is out of Psalm 95, and in my Bible it says, A Call to Worship and Obedience. It says, O come let us sing to the Lord.
Let us shout joyfully to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving. Let us shout joyfully to him with psalms, for the Lord is the great God and the great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth. The heights of the hill are his also. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
Come let us worship and bow down. Let us kneel before the Lord, our God, our maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. And so would you stand with me? In just a second, a whole bunch of teenagers are going to come in here too, so just hang with that. And tonight, however you feel led, if you want to stay standing to worship,
if you want to sit down, if you want to kneel, just allow the spirit to lead you. But the most important thing is that you pour out your heart, your hearts to the Lord in worship, amen? So Father, we come before you and I just lift up this time to you now. And Lord, I just ask that your Holy Spirit would flow through this place. Father, that as we come into tonight, having carried the burdens of the day,
the burdens of the week, perhaps the burdens of our country, of our families, the world that we live in, may tonight be a night that we can lay those down. Amen. That we can just pour out our hearts to you in worship and know that you truly are our God and we are simply your people. And so Lord, be with us tonight. Lead us and guide us, Lord, and overflow each person here with the power of your Holy Spirit, we pray.
In Jesus' name, amen. Worship by faith tonight, Lord. We look to you. Praise you, Lord Jesus. Lift one then from north to south.
Cross the door. Action. Unlock your suffering.
Reflecting you, just like the moon reflects the sun, may we reflect you, Lord. Be that salt. Oh, thank you, Lord, Lord, to think that you left heaven to come down here itself. Just imagine us becoming an ant to go down and talk to the ants about what you did, Lord Jesus, as you came down to earth.
You told the boys, the apostles, if you've seen me, you've seen the Father. And praise the Lord, yes. Praise the Lord.
Peace be upon you. It's awesome to just worship together, isn't it? Just to come before the Lord and worship, Lord. That's what we enjoy doing, just pouring out our hearts. And we're just singing to you, Lord. You're worthy of our praise.
Hearts, our hands to you as we're raising our voices to you. We just thank you and praise you, Lord. I feel impressed upon that there's some burdens that have been carried in here tonight. And some folks need some prayer. And so I'm going to set up on the front row over on that side. So if you need to come forward for prayer, please come on up. And I'd love to be able to pray with you.
Praise the Lord. Really get a tag on that fear thing, Lord. Thank you, and you that we're no longer slaves, Lord. Help us trust you and remember that, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Oh, Father God. It's impossible to hide.
Rise ahead. God is in control. Also, God has purpose. It's for everything. He's working in us to both undo of His good pleasure. And He's worthy of our praise.
We think of that mercy seat when they would sprinkle that blood and all. They would have to do that atoning every so often. It wasn't just one time. But when you came, you died on that cross. It was the final atonement, that final one, at that final time, that sacrifices. May your shed blood on the cross. We thank you, Lord. Jesus, yes. There'll be that. As I think of that word shadow in there.
The shadows disappear through the shadow of death. There is that shadow.
No shadow then.
Yeah, glory.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. Jesus, amen. God is good. All the time, God is good. We can trust Him in every area. Oh, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus. It's our desire. We want to abide in you. You're the vine.
Thank you, Lord Jesus. May we abide in you. We can trust you, Lord. No, Lord, may this just be just an encouragement to each of us and asking the Lord to bless us, Lord. You're so good to us. And so as we're finishing up, Lord, we just want to close as we sing the blessing, Lord, together.
Give it this time. The worship we've been doing together tonight is just an expression, Lord, of who you are. And so, Lord, I think of the scripture. I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your body, a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable act of worship, or your service. Be not conformed to this world,
but be transformed by the healing of your mind, that you may know what is that perfect will of God. So, Lord, do your work in our hearts, Lord. And we thank you, Lord Jesus. In Jesus' name, amen. Lord bless y'all.
