Can This Be The CHRIST? 23rd Sunday after Pentecost (Ordinary Time) He who sent me is true and him you do not know. John 7:28b Worship Service Guide October 28, 2018 10 AM
Welcome to All Saints Church! We are thankful you are here this morning! If you’re visiting with us, we hope that you feel welcome. If you have any questions about anything, please don’t hesitate to ask one of the greeters, liturgy leaders or Pastor Chad. We’re here to serve you. The back of the worship guide also has a tear off should you want to provide us with your contact info, have a question or need prayer about a specific need. All Saints Church’s worship includes a formal liturgy. Liturgy (literally meaning “the work of the people”) is the structured way in which God’s people worship Him. What that means is that at some points in the service we’ll take time to be quiet and pray, at other times we’ll respond together with song or Scripture, and still at other times we’ll take in the spoken Word of God. Our liturgy is shaped by the same storyline of Scripture. We were created in the image of God, to reflect His love. We have corrupted love by living for ourselves instead of living for God and we deserve God’s judgment. God demonstrates his gracious love for us by redeeming sinners through the death and resurrection of His Son, Jesus. We anticipate our final home and kingdom where God’s love will be fully expressed and experienced and give thanks to God who spared from the loveless place of hell and given us the joyous place of eternal life with Him. We ask that you participate in whatever manner comfortable for you. Sometimes people may raise their hands in praise during worship, others might close their eyes, others may appear more solemn. We would also encourage you to bring your own natural speaking voice and expressive style to the mix as we recite Scripture, sing and respond together. It’s a picture of the variety in which God created us. Also in your worship guide, you’ll find bits of information which might help to understand why we do what we do, understand some words that may be foreign to you and give you some background information to the songs, prayers or Scriptures. PARENTS: We welcome parents and children through the entire worship service to use our nursery (ages 0-3 years old). Just prior to the sermon, during the passing of the peace, young children (ages 3-6 years old) are invited to participate in a teaching time that is suitable for their age. Please also be aware that we share this worship space with another group, the Fox Valley Friends, so we ask that adults and children remain in the auditorium and classrooms on this end of the building and remain quiet if using the restrooms. Our friends worship in the Fireside room. We are thankful to have you here with us and may the LORD bless you richly today as you worship our faithful and present God. 2

Passing of the Peace At this time we leave the comfort of our seat, turn to our neighbors, grasp their hands, and formally or informally communicate the words, “The peace of the Lord be with you” and receive the words in turn, “And also with you.” We also use this time to share God’s work in our lives, greet visitors and even seek out brothers and sisters in our midst whom we may need to seek forgiveness and reconciliation. PARENTS: Children ages 3-6 are welcome to join the “Kid’s Table” for a lesson suited to their age or they may remain in the service for the reading and preaching of God’s Word. There is also in the worship guide, sermon notes for children to use to help in remaining engaged during the sermon. Also, feel free to use the Parent Room as the audio will be broadcast in that room. 9 CCLI Song # 108389 © Words: Public Domain | Music: Public Domain For use solely with the SongSelect.

Notes: We Come Under God’s Authority Old Testament Reading: Micah 5: 1-5a Now muster your troops, O daughter of troops; siege is laid against us; Today’s Old Testament with a rod they strike the judge of Israel reading gives on the cheek. prediction to the origins 2 But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, of the Messiah. Not only would he be who are too little to be among the clans of Judah, coming from “of old, from you shall come forth for me from ancient days” as one who is to be ruler in Israel, the begotten Son of whose coming forth is from of old, God, he would also from ancient days. have human origins 3 Therefore he shall give them up until the time coming from the tiny town of Bethlehem. when she who is in labor has given birth; then the rest of his brothers shall return to the people of Israel. 4 And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God. And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great to the ends of the earth. 5 And he shall be their peace. Reader: God, we thank you for your Word. All: The story of your grace. 10
New Testament Reading: John 7: 25-36 25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know. 29 I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.” 30 So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?” 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” 35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?” Leader: This is God’s Word. All: And it is true! The Preaching of God’s Word Jesus on His Terms John 7: 25-36 Pastor Chad Baudhuin Recognize the Christ’s home is not a place but three persons (vv 25-29). Recognize the Christ’s hour as eternal (vv 30-32). Recognize the Christ’s hope is a homecoming for outcasts (vv 33-36). 11
The Lord’s Supper (The Family Table) At this time, we take an opportunity to unite around the family table, the table of the Lord’s Supper. If you profess faith in Christ as your only confidence and qualification to join this celebration of salvation and have been examined and approved by the leadership of a Gospel-preaching church to participate, you are welcome to join in the celebration. We will dismiss by rows and each person will be served in front of the table. Tear off a piece of the bread and take a cup of wine or juice from the tray. Please note: The bread is gluten free. The clear drink is juice. The darker is wine. Parents: If you have young children with you, please feel free to bring them to the table as well to receive a blessing. Silent Prayer for those not Communing Prayer for Those Searching for Truth Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. Grant that I might be unafraid by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open to me the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is clear, convincing, and that leads to the life that you promise. Amen. Prayer of Belief Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared admit, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserved in order to offer me complete forgiveness. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen. Prayer for Those Overcome by Sin Lord Jesus, grant that I may see in you the fulfillment of all my need, and may turn from every false satisfaction to feed on you, the true and living bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so closely, and run with perseverance the race set before me, looking to you, the pioneer and perfecter of my faith. Amen. 12
