[4093.88 --> 4097.04] wide as an empty tomb on Easter day. |
[4097.94 --> 4101.56] Perhaps there's light enough to find your way. |
[4101.70 --> 4106.98] For now the tangled wood feels less enclosed, as though some heavy stone were rolled away. |
[4106.98 --> 4116.84] You lift your feet out of the miry clay and seek the light in which you once reposed wide as an empty tomb on Easter day. |
[4117.36 --> 4120.44] And then love calls your name. |
[4121.18 --> 4128.46] You hear him say, the way is open, death has been deposed, as though some heavy stone were rolled away. |
[4128.64 --> 4134.02] And you are free at last on Easter day. |
[4135.06 --> 4135.62] Amen. |
[4135.62 --> 4135.82] Amen. |
[4136.72 --> 4137.66] Let's pray together. |
[4145.10 --> 4151.24] Father God, speak to our hearts now. |
[4151.36 --> 4154.04] Speak to our imaginations now. |
[4154.40 --> 4159.98] Help us to make a new sense of the world by the truth of your resurrection. |
[4159.98 --> 4175.38] Father God, for so many of us this morning, the certainty of this truth and the impossibility of it live side by side in our everyday ordinary experiences. |
[4175.38 --> 4182.18] And so we pray that you would bring about a new creation. |
[4182.18 --> 4186.74] Allow us to see the world in this new sense. |
[4186.74 --> 4197.94] May this resurrection go from a story that someone tells me at church to the story that makes sense of the whole world as I go from this place. |
[4197.94 --> 4203.68] Transform us, Lord Jesus, by your word and by the work of your spirit. |
[4203.68 --> 4206.74] Transform us now as we come to your table. |
[4206.74 --> 4210.94] Father, that what we have heard, that what we have heard we might take in. |
[4211.70 --> 4219.54] And that as bread and juice nourish the body, that we might be nourished by your presence among us. |
[4219.54 --> 4228.08] Father, it is only because the resurrection is real that we meet you here at this table. |
[4228.90 --> 4235.54] And so make that truth even more real to us today, we pray, in the name of Jesus Christ. |
[4236.20 --> 4238.42] All God's people said, Amen. |
[4238.42 --> 4251.68] As we come to the table, of course, there's an Easter liturgy that will shape our encounter here. |
[4252.34 --> 4256.24] And so I'm going to invite you, as you see the words appear on the screen behind me, |
[4256.28 --> 4263.46] to speak those that are marked for you as we gather in the presence of our King together. |
[4264.20 --> 4266.94] I invite you to join in the following prayer. |
[4268.42 --> 4272.90] This is the feast of victory for our God. |
[4273.50 --> 4276.80] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. |
[4277.64 --> 4280.74] Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain. |
[4281.46 --> 4289.06] Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain, whose blood set us free to be people of God. |
[4290.28 --> 4293.62] This is the victory, victory for our God. |
[4294.30 --> 4296.90] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. |
[4296.90 --> 4300.76] Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain. |
[4300.76 --> 4307.22] Power, riches, wisdom, and strength, and honor, and blessing, and glory are His. |
[4308.56 --> 4311.82] This is the feast of victory for our God. |
[4312.56 --> 4315.22] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. |
[4316.18 --> 4319.06] Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain. |
[4320.18 --> 4325.04] Sing with all the people of God and join in the hymn of all creation. |
[4325.04 --> 4328.04] This is the feast of victory for our God. |
[4328.34 --> 4330.54] Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. |
[4332.10 --> 4335.24] Worthy is Christ, the Lamb who was slain. |
[4336.10 --> 4342.18] Blessing, honor, and glory, and might be to God and to the Lamb forever. |
[4342.84 --> 4343.20] Amen. |
[4343.20 --> 4343.32] Amen. |
[4344.54 --> 4350.78] We celebrate this feast in obedience to Christ's example and mandate. |
[4351.82 --> 4356.36] The Lord Jesus, on the night that He was betrayed, took bread. |
[4357.16 --> 4360.08] And when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, |
[4360.44 --> 4362.82] This is my body, which is for you. |
[4363.46 --> 4365.90] Do this in remembrance of me. |
[4365.90 --> 4371.40] And in the same way, He took the cup after supper, saying, |
[4372.22 --> 4375.18] This cup is the new covenant in my blood. |
[4375.80 --> 4380.78] Do this whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me. |
[4381.28 --> 4383.72] For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, |
[4383.84 --> 4388.04] you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes again. |
[4389.38 --> 4392.32] Come then, for all is ready. |
[4393.08 --> 4395.00] Christ was raised to life. |
[4395.00 --> 4396.60] Death is swallowed up. |
[4396.70 --> 4397.80] Victory is won. |
[4398.14 --> 4398.58] Hallelujah. |
[4399.14 --> 4401.82] Therefore, let us keep the feast. |
[4402.44 --> 4402.84] Hallelujah. |
[4404.54 --> 4406.00] Come to this table. |
[4406.72 --> 4411.02] If you're filled with faith, and if your faith is mixed with doubt, |
[4411.80 --> 4416.18] if you haven't come and been a regular to this feast, |
[4416.60 --> 4420.34] you are invited to come and taste faith. |
[4420.88 --> 4424.06] If you have tried to follow Jesus, and if you have failed, |
[4424.06 --> 4425.84] come to this table, come to this table, |
[4425.84 --> 4429.64] because Jesus Christ is raised. |
[4430.32 --> 4434.94] Come, because it is Christ Jesus who welcomes you here. |
[4436.48 --> 4439.44] The gifts of God for the people of God. |
[4440.04 --> 4444.06] The feast of God for the people of God. |
[4444.82 --> 4445.14] Amen. |
[4445.14 --> 4451.28] As we come to this table together, we're going to do so in groups. |
[4451.28 --> 4455.16] We'll come up in our rows, and we'll form a circle here around the table. |
[4455.68 --> 4459.52] You will be given the tray of bread, and as it's passed to you, |
[4459.64 --> 4460.82] the person will say, |
[4460.82 --> 4463.78] the body of Christ given for you, and then as you pass it, |
[4463.84 --> 4465.22] you are invited to say the same. |
[4465.68 --> 4468.64] Likewise, with the juice that comes around, as it's passed to you, |
[4468.82 --> 4471.12] you will hear the blood of Christ shed for you, |
[4471.16 --> 4473.22] and you're invited to say the same. |
[4473.92 --> 4478.96] In the middle of each of the trays of bread is a little cup with gluten-free bread |
[4478.96 --> 4481.42] that you can take if you are required for that, too. |
[4482.18 --> 4485.72] We will have ushers who will indicate when it's your time to come up to the front. |
[4486.34 --> 4488.24] If you are unable to come up to the front, |
[4488.32 --> 4490.74] but would still like to receive the elements, |
[4490.90 --> 4492.44] please indicate that to the ushers, |
[4492.56 --> 4494.18] and they will meet you where you are at, |
[4494.24 --> 4496.96] and they will serve you in your seat in the same way. |
[4497.84 --> 4501.26] To begin, I'd like to invite the serving elders and the worship leaders |
[4501.26 --> 4504.98] to come up to the front, that they can have the first table, |
[4504.98 --> 4508.74] and then they'll lead us in singing and song as the rest of us go through. |
[4509.46 --> 4513.14] Likewise, as you are waiting to come or in lieu of coming, |
[4513.22 --> 4514.84] if you'd like to meet someone for prayer, |
[4514.84 --> 4517.20] there will be people in the foyer at the back |
[4517.20 --> 4519.40] who would love to meet you and pray with you. |
[4519.68 --> 4522.50] I invite the worship leaders and elders |
[4522.50 --> 4524.30] and those helping us serve to the front. |
