Sunday, December 31, 2017 "Our Great High Priest"
Song of Gathering The Love of the Father
Call to Worship: Psalm 100 Leader: Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! ALL: Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing! Leader: Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; ALL: We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Leader: Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name! ALL: For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 126 (Bless the Lord)
Praising God & Confessing Our Sins
The Good News: Romans 8:1-4 1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. 3 For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
The Greeting Songs of Praise Jerusalem Hallelujah! What A Savior
Confession of Faith: New City Catechism #16 Question: What is sin? Answer: Sin is rejecting or ignoring God in the world he created, rebelling against him by living without reference to him, not being or doing what he requires in his law—resulting in our death and the disintegration of all creation.

Community Groups Sunday mornings are great, but there’s not much time to really get to know anyone or build relationships. Community groups are our way of doing that. They are bi-monthly informal small groups that meet in homes and are the primary way of “connecting” with others at Redeemer Southwest Church. Please contact Joe Ragsdale (
