OCEAN VIEW SUNDAY WORSHIP AT HOME

AUGUST 2, 2020

WELCOME

Today, we celebrate communion – the day when we remember Christ’s death for our sin.

Before we come into God’s presence together this morning, prepare yourself and space for a time of worship and communion—grab your Bibles and turn to Ephesians 2, put together pieces of bread or crackers on a plate for you and your family to eat, as well as cups of juice/water to drink during communion.

We now come as a people scattered throughout the city worshiping in our homes. Even still we are one people, worshiping the one true God. As you participate in today’s worship, allow yourselves to worship the Lord with joy and thanksgiving.

Call to Worship

(Now join in the call to worship by reading aloud together)

Psalm 28: 6-7

Leader: Praise be to the Lord,

People: for he has heard my cry for mercy.

Leader: The Lord is my strength and my shield;

People: my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.

Leader: My heart leaps for joy,

People: and with my song I praise him.

Sing to the Lord from your heart with joy and thanksgiving!

song - this is amazing grace

SONG - amazing grace (my chains are gone)

SONG - your grace is enough

(Kids help your parents sing this one!)

SCRIPTURE READING

Have one of your family members or take turns reading the Scripture.

“When Scripture speaks, God speaks.”

Ephesians 2: 8-10

For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Offering

“Praise God from whom all blessings flow.”

SERMON

Ephesians 2:8-10 - God’s Grace

COMMUNION

Sing to your Lord from your heart with joy and thanksgiving!

song - grace alone (lyrics below)

Lyrics:

I was an orphan lost at the fall
Running away when I'd hear your call
But Father, you worked your will

I had no righteousness of my own
I had no right to draw near your throne
But Father, you loved me still

And in love before you laid the world's foundation
You predestined to adopt me as your own
You have raised me so high u above my station
I'm a child of God by grace and grace alone

You left your home to seek out the lost
You knew the great and terrible cost
But Jesus, your face was set

I worked my fingers down to the bone
Nothing I did could ever atone
But Jesus, you paid my debt

By your blood I have redemption and salvation
Lord, you died that I might reap what you have sown
And you rose that I might be a new creation
I am born again by grace and grace alone

I was in darkness all of my life
I never knew the day from the night
But Spirit, you made me see

I swore I knew the way on my own
Head full of rocks, a heart made of stone
But Spirit, you moved in me

At your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened
On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone
Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken
Heaven's citizen by grace and grace alone

So I'll stand in faith by grace and grace alone
I will run the race by grace and grace alone
I will slay my sin by grace and grace alone
I will reach the end by grace and grace alone

Benediction

Leader:  For by grace you have been saved through faith.

Leader:  This is the Word of the Lord!

People:  Thanks be to God!
