8.10.25 - Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy

Short North Sunday Gathering Liturgy - August 10, 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: Shout with joy to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness. Come before him, singing with joy. Acknowledge that the Lord is God!

Congregation: He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Leader: Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise. Give thanks to him and praise his name.

Congregation: For the Lord is good. His unfailing love continues forever, and his faithfulness continues to each generation.

— Psalm 100

CONFESSION // ASSURANCE

Leader: Lord, our personal kingdoms have a habit of growing dangerously large.

CongregationFather, forgive us for the ways we infringe upon your lordship, both in conscious action and subconscious desire.

Leader: Lord, when we find ourselves anxious about what we will eat or drink or wear or anything else, instead of minimizing our concerns, you issue to us a call to trust in you, our provider.

CongregationFather, we often doubt your ability and desire to intervene in our lives and provide in tangible ways. Fill us with a trust that floods ever-deeper into our souls.

Leader: Your word says that you are our Shepherd, you are the restorer of our souls, you are our comfort, and that your goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives.

CongregationFather, instill in us the depths of your love for us. May we taste and see your goodness. May we live in the joy that comes from you alone. Cause our hearts to long for nothing other than you.

— Based on Matthew 6, Psalm 23 and Psalm 34

BENEDICTION

Leader: Go rejoicing in the Lord who sets captives free,
who heals the broken and satisfies the soul!
May your heart overflow with thanks,
and may your life sing of His redeeming love.
Peace be with you.

Congregation: And also with you!

The Heart of Worship
Chorus
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You, it's all about You, Jesus
Give Me Jesus (Dame a Cristo)
Verse 1
I don’t want anything but you
You’ve taken my heart and made it new
all of the things i thought i wanted don’t come close to knowing you

Verse 2
Here in your love I'm fully known
All that I am is yours alone
I'll spend forever in the pleasure I've found here before your throne

Chorus 1
Give me Jesus, Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
You can have all this world

Verse 3
Más que la plata y oro es
El gran tesoro de tu amor
Ahora que he probado tu bondad
Nada más me saciará

Chorus 2
Dame a Cristo, solo a Cristo
Dejo todo por Él, dejo todo por Él

Bridge 1
I don’t want anyone else
I don’t need anything else
You are my one thing, You are my one thing

Refrain 1
You are my one thing, You are my one thing
You are my one thing

Bridge 2
No quiero a nadie más
No necesito nada más
Eres mi todo, Eres mi todo

Refrain 2
Eres mi todo, Eres mi todo
Eres mi todo
Shepherd
Verse 1
You spoke those words, "Let there be light"
And there was oh
And in that same breath the stars fell in line
With one voice creation cries
You do all things well
You do all things well

Chorus
Be praised, be praised
Be praised, be praised
Be praised, be praised
Forever and always

Verse 2
Lost in the dark up under the dirt, I was buried left to die
And I heard Your voice calling my name, From the tomb I came alive
You do all things well, from the tomb I came alive
You do all things well

Chorus

Bridge
When I think of all You’ve done and all the battles You’ve brought me
over, Hallelujah!
And all the storms I saw You calm in my defence my only song is:
Hallelujah!
And how He never let me fall now unto Him who is able, Hallelujah!
And let there never be a day that I don’t rise to bring You praise
Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Chorus
