Sunday, March 4, 2018 "Whom Do You Serve?"
Song of Gathering Arise My Soul Arise
Call to Worship: Psalm 96:1-6 Leader: Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth! ALL: Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Leader: Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples! ALL: For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; he is to be feared above all gods. Leader: For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. ALL: Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Christ is Mine Forevermore
Praising God & Confessing Our Sins The Good News: Matthew 11:25, 28-30; Galatians 5:1 25 At that time Jesus declared…28 “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.
The Greeting
Songs of Praise No Longer Slaves
Confession of Faith: New City Catechism #25 Question: Does Christ’s death mean all our sins can be forgiven? Answer: Yes, because Christ’s death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God graciously imputes Christ’s righteousness to us as if it were our own and will remember our sins no more.

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 (
