Call to Worship | 2 Samuel 22:30
Confession of Faith | Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord: Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty, From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead, I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Universal Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting.
Amen

Scripture Reading| Galatians 5:22-23, Romans 5:1-11
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, 4 and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, 5 and hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
6 For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— 8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. 10 For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. 11 More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
Sermon | The Fruit of Joy
(sermon outline | study guide)
Sermon Series Title: The Fruit of the Spirit
Sermon Series Summary: In Christ, we have received new hearts and new life. With this new life, God bears the Fruit of the Spirit. It’s not something we do. It’s something that God grows within us through His Spirit.
Central Truth: We can have joy, because our hope has been secured in Christ, who made us His joy.
Summary: The second fruit is joy. Through Romans 5, we see that we are called to have joy even in suffering, because our hope has been secured for us by Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for our sins. We are able to have joy ultimately, because Christ has made us His joy.

Prayer Topics
As we are in the Easter season, pray that all our members, our relationships, and our ministry may be centered on the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. Pray that we may come back to the truth that we are more sinful that we can ever imagine, but we are more loved than we can ever dare hope.
Resurrection Power
Rooted in our Easter hope, pray that we may live with resurrection power. If we are in Christ, we have died and been raised back to life in our hearts with Him. Pray for the mortification of our sin. Pray for the grace-empowered obedience as God’s children. Pray that the Spirit may bear much fruit in our lives.
Prayer of Belief**
Dear God, I have sinned against you beyond my imagination, but through Jesus living and dying for me, I am more loved by you than I could have ever dared hope. Thank you that Jesus paid my debt and bore my punishment on the cross so that I may be forgiven. I turn from my sins and receive Jesus as my Savior and Lord. In His name I pray, Amen.
**If you have prayed this prayer for the first time, please speak with one of the leaders or officers.
