Today, in church, we celebrate Communion.

 

 

Welcome to Sunday Focus. We pray you will be blessed as you listen to the songs and read the Word of God.

   

Hymn -  When Morning Gilds the Skies

 

Song -  My Dwelling Place

Heavenly Father, we come before you today in humility and faith.
We thank you for all you have given us and the many blessings in our lives.
We ask for your guidance and strength.
Show us the way and fill us with courage and wisdom.
Help us to remember your love and grace and to be faithful in our service to you.
Give us the patience and understanding to face life's challenges with grace.
We ask these things in your name. Amen.

 

Song -  Jesus Christ I think Upon Your Sacrifice

 

Bible Reading
 

Luke 22:14-22

The Institution of the Lord’s Supper

14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, ‘I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it[c] until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.’ 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, ‘Take this and divide it among yourselves; 18 for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.’ 19 Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ 20 And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, ‘This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.[d] 21 But see, the one who betrays me is with me, and his hand is on the table. 22 For the Son of Man is going as it has been determined, but woe to that one by whom he is betrayed!’ 23 Then they began to ask one another which one of them it could be who would do this.

Song -  Behold The Lamb

I will keep trusting and believing in God
and I will keep holding on to His promises
knowing that it shall be well with my soul.

I refuse to be discouraged.
I receive spiritual encouragement to go forward.
Lord, everywhere I go, I will not be alone
because You are always with me.
I declare I am courageous,
no matter what I see or hear,
I will not give up, in Jesus' name.

Lord, remind us of the precious and constant thoughts You have for us,
entrusting our identity and our self-confidence in You
rather than in ourselves, our circumstances, or the culture that we live in.
Thank You for Your word and unending love for us.
In the name of Jesus we pray, Amen.

Father God, help us to value life as much as You do,
and to be good stewards
of not only the bodies You have crafted for us,
but the short time here on earth You have given us
to do Your will and glorify You.

Lord Jesus, You break down the walls that divide us;
walls of hostility that blind us to one another.
You died that we may be one.
Thank You for Your great and merciful love,
we trust You.

 

Our Father, who art in heaven,

Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Forever.

Amen

 

Hymn -  Jesus Paid it All

 

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

Jude 24–25
