What is the Gospel?

What is the Gospel?
The gospel is news rather than instruction. The gospel is grace rather than merit. The gospel is reversal of the weak and the strong. Redeemer’s Vision:
•
Calling people to authentic relationships with Christ and one another.
•
Building a community of hope, healing, joy and worship.
•
Sending one another into the world to share the good news of Christ. Song of Gathering and Preparation
We prepare our hearts, minds and bodies for worship by singing
about the God we serve.
Holy Is The Lord

We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship Him now
How great, how awesome is He
And together we sing
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory

All Things New
Andrew Peterson, Andy Gullahorn, BenShive, 2008 Jakedog Music, CCLI #5480627
Come broken and weary, come battered and bruised
My Jesus makes all things new, all things new
Come lost and abandoned, come blown by the wind
He’ll bring you back home again, home again
Rise up you sleeper and wake
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up you sleeper and wake
He makes all things new, all things new
Come frozen with shame, come hurting with guilt
My Jesus He loves you still, loves you still
Rise up you sleeper and wake
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up you sleeper and wake
He makes all things new, all things new
The world was good, the world has fallen
the world will be redeemed
The world is good, the world is fallen
the world will be redeemed
Hold on to the promise, the stories are true
Jesus makes all things new (pause…)
Rise up you sleeper and wake
The light of the dawn is upon you
Rise up you sleeper and wake
He makes all things new, all things new (2X)

Majesty
2003, 2004 Curious? Music UK, Martin Smith, Stuart Garrard, CCLI #4219071
Here I am — humbled by Your majesty
covered by Your grace so free
Here I am — knowing I’m a sinful man
covered by the blood of the Lamb
Now I’ve found the greatest love of all is mine
since You laid down Your life — the greatest sacrifice
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
empty handed but alive in Your hands
Here I am — humbled by the love that You give
forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand — knowing that I’m Your desire
sanctified by glory and fire
Now I’ve found the greatest love of all is mine
since You laid down Your life — the greatest sacrifice
Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
empty handed but alive in Your hands
Majesty, Majesty
forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your majesty

We Fall Down
Chris Tomlin, 1998 worshiptogether.com songs, CCLI #2437367
We fall down, we lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the Lamb
We fall down, We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of Mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
Is the Lamb

Behold the Lamb
© 2007
Thankyou Music, Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty, Stuart Townend, CCLI#5003372
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away
Slain for us and we remember
The promise made for all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross
So we share in this Bread of Life–and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace - around the table of the King
The body of our Savior Jesus Christ,
Torn for us - eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life
Paid the price to make us one
So we share in this Bread of Life–and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love - around the table of the King
The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,
Shed for us – we drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God
So we share in this Bread of Life–and we drink of His sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace - around the table of the King
And so with thankfulness and faith we rise
To respond, - and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As His body here on earth
As we share in His suffering - we proclaim Christ will come again!
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven - around the table of the King
Celebration of the Lord’s Supper
Benediction
The Pastor raises his hands to remind us that because the hand of
God’s wrath was raised against Jesus, we are able to receive the
hand of God’s blessing as we are sent out to live our lives to the glory
of God.
