May the Word of God Dwell in Our Hearts
Sermon Series: “Psalms for the Summer”
All: For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our
weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive
mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

CONFESSING OUR SIN TOGETHER
Father in heaven, so often we fail to draw near to you because we either believe that
we don’t need you, or we believe that you don’t want us. We feel the weight of our sin,
but we forget that you offer forgiveness and pardon. We are frustrated by our constant
struggle with sin, but we forget that we are being daily molded into the image of Christ.
Forgive us for being reluctant to draw near to you and your Word. Forgive us for so
easily forgetting the good news of the gospel. Remind us that because Christ chose to
dwell among sinful humanity, we may dwell with him for eternity. In the atoning name
of Jesus, we pray. Amen.

Our Purpose in Hernando
Our Vision: Christ Covenant seeks to worship God in Hernando as a missional
community that is committed to love, train, and serve others in Jesus Christ!
Our Focus: Christ Covenant will gather to worship the God of Scripture, intentionally
nurture our fellowship in Christ, and thoughtfully serve the people of Hernando in
DeSoto County.
Our Values: We have three core values which give us hope and shape our vision at
Christ Covenant:
• We believe the Gospel of Christ is the power of God unto new life, which is
able to transform any individual, community, and city.
• We believe the Church is the body of Christ, which is the focused community
of God for gathering and sanctifying His people in this world.
• We believe the Kingdom of Christ is His rule and authority over all things,
which promises to bring peace (shalom) in heaven and upon the earth.

but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for
many.”
