Song: “The Goodness of God”
By Ben Fielding, Brian Johnson, Ed Cash, Jason Ingram, Jenn Johnson.
I love You, Lord; Oh, Your mercy never fails me.
All my days, I’ve been held in Your hands.
From the moment that I wake up until I lay my head,
I will sing of the goodness of God.
All my life You have been faithful.
All my life You have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.
I love Your voice; You have led me through the fire
In darkest night, You are close like no other.
I’ve known You as a father, I’ve known You as a friend.
I have lived in the goodness of God.
All my life You have been faithful.
All my life You have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me.
Your goodness is running after, it’s running after me.
With my life laid down I’m surrendered now.
give You everything ’cause Your goodness is running after,
it’s running after me.
All my life You have been faithful.
All my life You have been so, so good.
With every breath that I am able,
I will sing of the goodness of God.
Song: “You Are My King (Amazing Love”)
Words and Music: Billy J. Foote.
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken.
I’m accepted; You were condemned.
I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
because You died and rose again
Amazing love, how can it be
that You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it’s true.
It’s my joy to honor You.
In all I do, I honor You.
You are my King.
You are my King.
Jesus, You are my King
Jesus, You are my King.
Hymn: “Rejoice, the Lord Is King”
Words: Charles Wesley. Music: John Darwal.
Rejoice, the Lord is King: Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing, and triumph evermore.
Lift up your heart; lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Jesus, the Savior, reigns, the God of truth and love;
when He had purged our stains, He took His seat above.
Lift up your heart; lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
His kingdom cannot fail, He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
the keys of death and hell are to our Jesus giv’n.
Lift up your heart; lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope! For Christ the Judge shall come
and take His servants up to their eternal home;
Lift up your heart; lift up your voice! Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Time of Prayer
Sermon: “The Kingdom of God”
Mark 1:14–20 (ESV)
14 Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, 15 and saying, “The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.”
16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17 And Jesus said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” 18 And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19 And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20 And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.
Hymn: “Hear the Call of the Kingdom”
Words and music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend
Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King.
Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering
of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem
all who trust in His unfailing grace.
King of Heaven we will answer the call;
we will follow, bringing hope to the world,
filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
salvation in Jesus’ name.
Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light,
with the mercy of heaven, the humility of Christ;
walking justly before Him, loving all that is right;
that the life of Christ may shine through us.
King of Heaven we will answer the call;
we will follow, bringing hope to the world,
filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
salvation in Jesus’ name.
Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost;
with the Father’s compassion, in the wonder of the cross,
bringing peace and forgiveness and a hope yet to come.
Let the nations put their trust in Him.
King of Heaven we will answer the call
we will follow, bringing hope to the world,
filled with passion, filled with power to proclaim
salvation in Jesus’ name.
Benediction
1 Thessalonians 5:23–24, 28
23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
