7.20.25 - Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - July 20, 2025

Pause to reflect on the readings, prayers, and songs we share in together as the body of Christ at Sunday morning worship Gatherings.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: Praise the Lord, His greatness is unsearchable. Our generation shall declare the mighty acts of our God and King.

CongregationWe shall speak of the might of your awesome deeds, and pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness. Your Kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations.

Leader: The Lord is gracious and merciful, abounding in steadfast love. He is near to all who call on him.

CongregationHis mercy is over all that he has made. He fulfills the desire of those who fear him, he hears their cry and saves them. Our mouths will praise the Lord, let all bless his holy name forever and ever.

— Based on Psalm 145

CONFESSION // ASSURANCE

CongregationSo then, we must cling in faith to all we know to be true. For we have a magnificent King-Priest,  Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who rose into the heavenly realm for us, and now sympathizes with us in our frailty. He understands humanity, for as a man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin. So now we draw near freely and boldly to where grace is enthroned,  to receive mercy and discover the grace we urgently need to strengthen us when we need it most.
 
— Based on Hebrews 4:14-16 TPT and NLT

BENEDICTION

Leader: As you wait on the Lord, may His presence transform your loneliness into deep, abiding communion. You are held, you are known, and you are loved by Jesus, our good Shepherd, our Redeemer. Peace be with you.

Congregation: And also with you!
