[1304.02 --> 1304.26] holy, |
[1304.40 --> 1305.12] perfect lives |
[1305.12 --> 1305.92] that we do this, |
[1306.22 --> 1307.28] that we reflect |
[1307.28 --> 1308.04] God's light. |
[1308.70 --> 1310.58] It is only by the power |
[1310.58 --> 1311.34] of the Spirit |
[1311.34 --> 1312.78] that we get to reflect |
[1312.78 --> 1313.90] the true light |
[1313.90 --> 1315.62] and proclaim the good news |
[1315.62 --> 1316.10] for a world |
[1316.10 --> 1317.24] that's in darkness. |
[1318.42 --> 1319.62] We witness to |
[1319.62 --> 1320.94] and reflect Jesus |
[1320.94 --> 1322.08] as the true light. |
[1323.22 --> 1324.92] It is not our own light. |
[1324.92 --> 1327.86] And thank God for that |
[1327.86 --> 1328.52] because my light |
[1328.52 --> 1330.14] would be terrible. |
[1331.86 --> 1332.86] We reflect |
[1332.86 --> 1334.26] the light of Christ |
[1334.26 --> 1336.22] and we get to reflect |
[1336.22 --> 1337.08] the true light |
[1337.08 --> 1337.90] to the world. |
[1339.16 --> 1340.66] May we proclaim together |
[1340.66 --> 1342.36] the year of the Lord's favor |
[1342.36 --> 1343.74] even in the year |
[1343.74 --> 1344.82] 2024 |
[1344.82 --> 1345.94] as we come up. |
[1346.52 --> 1347.86] And may we do that together |
[1347.86 --> 1348.74] as His body. |
[1349.74 --> 1350.30] Let's pray. |
[1354.92 --> 1358.82] loving, |
[1359.38 --> 1360.20] good, |
[1360.36 --> 1361.02] and merciful |
[1361.02 --> 1361.96] Father God, |
[1362.86 --> 1364.28] we come before you, |
[1364.42 --> 1364.60] Lord, |
[1364.86 --> 1366.12] and we give you thanks |
[1366.12 --> 1367.12] as we remember |
[1367.12 --> 1371.10] how you came to us |
[1371.10 --> 1374.12] and you dwelled among us |
[1374.12 --> 1374.98] as your people |
[1374.98 --> 1376.58] and you have saved us |
[1376.58 --> 1377.74] and freed us |
[1377.74 --> 1379.16] from our sins. |
[1379.16 --> 1381.70] Thank you, |
[1381.80 --> 1381.98] Lord, |
[1382.10 --> 1384.52] for restoring us |
[1384.52 --> 1385.88] and making us whole again |
[1385.88 --> 1386.78] as we dwell |
[1386.78 --> 1389.18] in your presence. |
[1390.66 --> 1391.14] Lord, |
[1391.22 --> 1392.58] we continue to come up short. |
[1393.56 --> 1394.82] We continue to wrestle |
[1394.82 --> 1395.96] with our old selves |
[1395.96 --> 1397.32] and our own brokenness |
[1397.32 --> 1397.90] and sins, |
[1398.22 --> 1398.78] but Lord, |
[1398.88 --> 1400.28] we know that we can trust |
[1400.28 --> 1401.62] and we can depend |
[1401.62 --> 1402.56] on your guidance |
[1402.56 --> 1404.72] as you live with us, |
[1404.80 --> 1406.60] as you journey with us |
[1406.60 --> 1408.08] in our everyday, |
[1408.52 --> 1409.56] day-to-day lives |
[1409.56 --> 1411.14] as we witness |
[1411.14 --> 1411.88] to your light. |
[1412.96 --> 1413.82] And so help us, |
[1414.02 --> 1414.16] Lord. |
[1415.18 --> 1416.30] Help us reflect |
[1416.30 --> 1417.60] your goodness, |
[1418.68 --> 1419.46] your love |
[1419.46 --> 1420.28] for the world. |
[1421.94 --> 1422.76] We thank you |
[1422.76 --> 1423.48] for our church, |
[1423.86 --> 1424.42] we thank you |
[1424.42 --> 1425.36] for the year that's been, |
[1426.22 --> 1427.04] and we thank you |
[1427.04 --> 1428.00] for the year to come |
[1428.00 --> 1429.10] as we continue |
[1429.10 --> 1429.80] to serve |
[1429.80 --> 1431.54] in your kingdom. |
[1432.54 --> 1433.52] In Jesus' name we pray. |
[1434.70 --> 1435.00] Amen. |
[1436.60 --> 1437.60] I invite you to stand |
[1437.60 --> 1438.20] as we sing |
[1438.20 --> 1439.18] our song of response. |
[1439.18 --> 1439.54] Amen. |
