3.1.26 - West Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Leader: There are days when we come into worship full of faith and confidence, and there are days when we come full of doubts and fears, forgetting that God is good and that he loves us.

Congregation: Today, let us come together as one community, proclaiming God's goodness and remembering his mercy. As we listen to the voices around us singing of God's faithfulness, may we be strengthened beyond what we understand. In this day of celebration, let us  give praise and glory to our great God above all else.

Leader: So often, we struggle to sense God's presence and to believe he is real and actively transforming us. We struggle to trust him and seek his face. We go our own way rather than obey him. We believe the lie that success comes from our own strength and self-reliance.

Congregation: God, we believe in you; help us in our unbelief! Help us refuse to become indifferent toward you.  Give us strength to repent, and in your grace, produce the fruit of faith in us. Thank you that you have promised to never leave our side.

Congregation: God, we ask that You would continue to give us the assurance and conviction of faith in You. Help us be able to say, "I do not always see how things will work out, but I will walk toward You anyway." Give us the courage to trust You. We commit our lives to You and we believe that You are writing a good story in each of us. In Jesus' name, amen,
 

Leader: Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever, Amen. Peace be with you!

Congregation: And also with you!
