Call to Worship

We were dead in the trespasses and sin in which we once walked.

We followed the course of this world, the prince of the power of the air who is now at work in the children of disobedience.

We once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind. We were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ.

–Based on Ephesians 2:3-5

God has raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

For by grace we have been saved through faith.

And this is not our own doing:

It is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

–Based on Ephesians 2:5-9

Built Together: We Belong to One Another

Jamaal Williams

12 Therefore, brothers and sisters, in view of the mercies of God, I urge you to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your true worship.
2 Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.
3 For by the grace given to me, I tell everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he should think. Instead, think sensibly, as God has distributed a measure of faith to each one.
4 Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function,
5 in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another.
6 According to the grace given to us, we have different gifts: If prophecy, use it according to the proportion of one’s faith;
7 if service, use it in service; if teaching, in teaching;
8 if exhorting, in exhortation; giving, with generosity; leading, with diligence; showing mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Detest evil; cling to what is good.
10 Love one another deeply as brothers and sisters. Take the lead in honoring one another.
11 Do not lack diligence in zeal; be fervent in the Spirit; serve the Lord.
12 Rejoice in hope; be patient in affliction; be persistent in prayer.
13 Share with the saints in their needs; pursue hospitality.
14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.
15 Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep.
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

Romans 12:1-16 (CSB)

WE NEED ONE ANOTHER | ROMANS 12:3–8
- if God distributes gifts throughout his people, then none of us has everything we need all by ourselves. Every believer has something to give, and every believer has something to receive.
WE PRACTICE GENUINE LOVE | ROMANS 12:9–16
- Friendliness says, “I’m glad you’re here.” Hospitality says, “There is room for you in my life.”
- Church family, you cannot share life with people you refuse to know.
RESPONSE | ONE FAITHFUL STEP
- Just take one step. Ask the Spirit, “Who have you put in front of me? What does love require of me?”
