Confession of Faith

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
      maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
      who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
      born of the virgin Mary
      suffered under Pontius Pilate
      was crucified, died, and buried
      he descended into hell
      The third day he rose again from the dead.
      He ascended to heaven
      and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
      From there he will come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the holy catholic church,
      the communion of saints,
      the forgiveness of sins,
      the resurrection of the body,
      and the life everlasting. Amen.

Song of Praise

IN CHRIST ALONE

In Christ alone, will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I've been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone, I overcome

Oh, I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hands
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand

In Christ alone, I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength
My source of hope is Christ alone

In Christ alone, will I glory
For only by His grace, I am redeemed
And only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need

And now I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains but losses
To the glory of my Lord

Confession of Sins / Assurance of Forgiveness

“For I will be merciful toward your iniquities, declares the LORD
I will remember your sins no more.”

Hebrews 8:12

Song of Thanksgiving

BE THOU MY VISION

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me save that thou art
Thou my best thought by day orby night
Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true Word
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, and I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise
Thou mine inheritance, now and always
Thou and thou only, be first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art

High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'ns Sun!
Heart of my heart, whatever befall
Still be my vision, O Ruler of all

Scripture Reading

Revelation 22:10–13

[10] And he said to me, “Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near. [11] Let the evildoer still do evil, and the filthy still be filthy, and the righteous still do right, and the holy still be holy.”

[12] “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay each one for what he has done. [13] I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.”

Sermon

“The Letter to the Bride: Christus Victor!”

Rev. Peter Kim

Lord’s Supper

Song of Response

1 Corinthians 11:23–29

For I received from the Lord what I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a person examine himself, then, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment on himself.

HYMN OF HEAVEN

How I long to breathe the air of Heaven
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets
To look upon the One who bled to save me
And walk with Him for all eternity

There will be a day when all will bow before Him
There will be a day when death will be no more
Standing face to face with He who died and rose again
Holy, holy is the Lord

And every prayer we prayed in desperation
The songs of faith we sang through doubt and fear
In the end, we'll see that it was worth it
When He returns to wipe away our tears

And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain"

And on that day, we join the resurrection
And stand beside the heroes of the faith
With one voice, a thousand generations
Sing, "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain"
"Forever He shall reign"

So let it be today we shout the hymn of Heaven
With angels and the saints, we raise a mighty roar
Glory to our God who gave us life beyond the grave
Holy, holy is the Lord

Benediction
