Today's Liturgy


Call to Worship

Come, all nations, come all peoples and praise the Lord!
For our God reigns over all the earth in righteous, justice, and an abundance of steadfast love.

Sing to the Lord, praise His name; Proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
Say among the nations: ‘The Lord reigns!’

––From Psalm 96:2–3,10

Confession
Amen! The Lord is our deliver, our healer, our salvation - may he be praised and may we walk in his ways for all of our days amen?

The Lord’s word in Micah 6:8 helps us know how to do just that - read this with me:

He has shown you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God
–Micah 6:8

Assurance

Church, hear the heart of our God:

For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son, not to condemn the world, but to save it.
He is patient with his promise, not wanting anyone to perish, but for all to come to repentance.
God’s mercy rescues us and his love leads us!

Let the nations be glad!
Let the whole earth know:
Salvation belongs to the Lord; His blessing rests upon His people.

–Inspired by 2 Pet. 3:9; John 3:16–17; Ps. 3:8, 67:4

Hallelujah!
As we sing this next song - we declare the gospel - the hope of the nations: Jesus is our salvation!

Is Jesus the Only Way to Eternal Life?

Nathan Sloan

14 “Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, 15 so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. 16 For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. 18 Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. 19 This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. 21 But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God.”

36 The one who believes in the Son has eternal life, but the one who rejects the Son will not see life; instead, the wrath of God remains on him.

–John 3:14-21; 36

Eternal life is found only through conscious faith in Jesus Christ, and God's redeeming love calls every believer to participate in proclaiming this truth to the world.

1. Is Sin a Universal Problem?

  • Sin affects all humanity: Every person is infected with sin and stands guilty before God (Romans 3:10–23).
  • Sin incurs God’s just wrath: God’s wrath is not arbitrary but flows from His perfect justice and holiness (John 3:36).
  • God provides a solution in Jesus: The bronze serpent lifted up foreshadowed Christ's redemptive work (John 3:14–15; Numbers 21:8).

2. Is Jesus the Only Way to Eternal Life?

  • Pluralism is incompatible with Scripture: All religions are not equally valid; Jesus alone saves (John 14:6).
  • Inclusivism sounds compassionate but isn’t biblical: Salvation requires conscious faith, not just sincerity or ignorance.
  • Exclusivism is the biblical truth: Only those who believe in Jesus are saved (Acts 4:12; John 3:18–19).

3. What Happens to Those Who Never Hear the Gospel?

  • They are without excuse: General revelation through creation reveals God’s attributes (Romans 1:18–20).
  • They are judged for sin, not ignorance: No one is truly “innocent”—all rebel against known truth.
  • God is sovereignly at work: Through dreams, visions, and missionaries, God draws people even in unreached places.

4. Application

  • Reflect on and be in awe of your own salvation.
  • Embrace your role in God’s mission to the world.

Starts Aug 10 Ephesians: Behold the Mystery

This fall, we are walking through the book of Ephesians, a letter that shows how God is building a new people through Jesus. Together, we will explore what it means to belong to his family, live with purpose, and stand strong in a world that pulls us apart. Ephesians reminds us that the Church is not a building. It is us, a people chosen, loved, and sent to reflect God’s grace. It is time to become the Church we are called to be.

Starts back Aug 17 Sojourn Students Sunday Gathered

Middle and high schoolers meet for music, teaching, small groups, and most importantly, an opportunity for students to build friendships in the church as they deepen their relationships with Jesus

September–December Fall Serve Teams

Serve weekly, biweekly, or even monthly with a number of teams.
