Corporate Confession of Sin | Jeff Jacques Merciful Savior, You are the Lamb slain before the foundation of the world. You rose to become our heavenly Shepherd who guides us to springs of living water. Yet we have settled for our own broken cisterns that can hold no water. Forgive us for our idolatry and unbelief, our lack of thankfulness for Your blessings, our deficient zeal for Your worship, our lack of humility under Your correction, our lazy watchfulness against temptation, and our struggle with discontentment. Go forth and show us Your cross, mighty to subdue, comfort, and save. For we pray in Your matchless name, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon

Ministry of Music | Neil Nelson, solo His Eye Is on the Sparrow Eric Wilson, piano Charles Gabriel Why should I be discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heaven and home? When Jesus is my portion, my constant friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. I sing because I’m happy--I sing because I’m free. For His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me. “Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear, And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; Though by the path He leadeth, but one step I may see; His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He watches me. Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, and hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free; His eye is on the sparrow, so I know He watches me.

*Profession of Faith: Apostles’ Creed

*Gloria Patri

Anthem | Dr. Wilson. director To the Lamb on the Throne Lisa B. Wilson, organ Dan Forrest Worthy the Lamb. Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, And publish abroad His wonderful name; The name all victorious of Jesus extol, His kingdom is glorious and rules over all. Worthy the Lamb! Salvation to God, who sits on the throne! Let all cry aloud, and honor the Son; The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, Fall down on their faces and worship the Lamb. Worthy the Lamb! God rules in the height, almighty to save; Though hid from our sight, His presence we have.

The great congregation His triumph shall sing, Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King. Worthy the Lamb! Then let us adore and give Him His right, All glory and power, all wisdom and might; All honor and blessing with angels above, And thanks never ceasing and infinite love!

BIG IDEA: THE GREAT RESCUE MISSION

Welcome to in-person and online worship at Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church. We are truly living in uncertain times. However, Jesus says, “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”

How could He say such a thing in the midst of a world full of pain and suffering? Does He have an answer to comfort a troubled heart?

In fact, Jesus gives us the only antidote when He says, “Believe in God; believe also in me.” Jesus is calling us to believe in the One who was dead, but is now alive. If the resurrection is true, He alone has the power to redeem any circumstance. Jesus can work through anything that life has thrown your way. The world’s answer is to believe in yourself. But that doesn’t seem to offer any real hope. On the contrary, Jesus tells us to stop believing in yourself and instead believe in Him. This is real hope in a hopeless world.

So whether you’ve been a Christian for years or you’re exploring who Jesus is, I pray you are encouraged by this good news. Please let me know how Coral Ridge can serve you in the days and weeks ahead!

Forever Hopeful,

Rob Pacienza, Senior Pastor pastorrob@crpc.org | 954.334.5102
