Today's Liturgy

Call to Worship

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He welcomes us, pursues us, and prepares a way for us even while we are in open rebellion.

By the power of His Spirit, He has held us together as family.
By His mercy he has made us one.
We worship the God who has enabled us to love each other as an example to a fractured world.

For Jesus said, “By this everyone will know you are My disciples—if you love one another.”
Let us worship with hearts open to His love!

We come to worship the God who brings unity out of enmity.
We come to experience his love and learn to walk in his ways.

Confession

Lord, we confess that we can struggle to love the unfamiliar.
We are quick to assume, we are slow to listen, and we are easily divided.

We baptize our biases, call willful ignorance a virtue, and idolize our own cultural assumptions.
We draw arbitrary circles, call those inside “good,” and treat anyone on the outside with unwarranted suspicion.

Forgive us for the pride that keeps us distant,
for the fear that hardens our hearts,
and for the comfort we choose over compassion.

Search our hearts, Lord.
Where we have drawn lines, teach us to build bridges.
Where we have withdrawn, invite us into the communal experience of grace.

Shape us into people who reflect Your love—
not only in words, but in how we live and in who we embrace.
Amen.

–Inspired by Romans 12:16–18; James 1:19–20; 1 John 4:11–12

Assurance

Church, hear the good news:

Jesus has loved us freely, fully, and finally.
He has destroyed every dividing wall!

By His blood we are reunited with our Father, we are reconnected to our family and the peace of Christ runs in to usurp our vain self-conceit.

We march under a new flag of peace and freedom
and are empowered to share and embody it in return.

Thanks be to God!
Amen.
