Welcome
We are glad you chose to worship with us today. No matter what your previous experience with church may be, it is our hope that today’s service will be a fresh encounter with God’s love and power for your life. This folder will guide you as we worship together. Welcome to Christ Community Church.
Our purpose Christ Community Church exists to join Christ in his renewal of all things by experiencing and extending his love throughout Gainesville. We are a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA).
Core Values GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM: Grounding all we do in the three foundational realities of the Gospel: a new world, a new record, a new heart.
WORSHIP: Rehearsing the gospel of Jesus Christ through song, word, joyful giving, and sacrament.
GROWING IN GRACE: Growing in faith, repentance, wisdom, and obedience as a community.
LIFE TOGETHER: Serving and walking with each other in life’s joys and sorrows through hospitality and intentional community.
MISSIONAL LIVING: Pursuing faithful lives of mission where we live, work, and play.
SERVING GAINESVILLE: Seeking the spiritual, social, and cultural welfare of greater Gainesville.
MULTIPLICATION: Planting churches, fostering global missions, equipping the emerging generation, and commissioning those in transition.
Children We offer a range of Christ-centered programming for children throughout the morning. Most Sundays, Sunday School (9:00-10:15AM) is provided for children ages 3 years to 5th grade. At around 10:50AM, children ages kindergarten to 3rd grade will be dismissed from the service to their classrooms.

Call to Worship - Isaiah 60:1-3 Leader: 1 Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. UNISON: 2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. Leader: 3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
Prayer of Invocation
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty Words: Joachim Neander, 1680. Music: Erneuerten Gesangbuch, 1665.
Praise to the Lord, the almighty, the King of creation.
O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation. All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near;
Praise him in glad adoration.
Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth; Shelters thee under his wings, yea, so gently sustaineth.
Hast thou not seen how all your longings have been Granted in what he ordaineth?
Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee.
Surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. Ponder anew, what the almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee.
Praise thou the Lord, who with marvelous wisdom hath made thee, Decked thee with health, and with loving hand guided and stayed thee.
How oft in grief hath not he brought thee relief, Spreading his wings to o'ershade thee!
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore him.
All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him. Let the amen, sound from his people again,
Gladly for aye we adore him. Let the Amen, sound from his people again,
Gladly for aye we adore him.
In The Bleak Midwinter Words & Music: Christina Georgina Rossetti and Gustav Theodore Holst.
In the bleak midwinter, frosty wind made moan,
earth stood hard as iron, water like a stone; snow had fallen, snow on snow, snow on snow,
In the bleak midwinter, long ago.
Our God, heav'n cannot hold him, nor earth sustain; heav'n and earth shall flee away when he comes to reign.
In the bleak midwinter a stable place sufficed, the Lord God Almighty, Jesus Christ.
Angels and archangels may have gathered there,
cherubim and seraphim throng'd the air; but his mother only, in her maiden bliss,
worshiped the beloved with a kiss.
What can I give him, poor as I am? If I were a shepherd, I would bring a lamb; if I were a Wise Man, I would do my part; yet what can I give him? Give my heart.
Confession Almighty God, we are not worthy of Your presence, but we look now to the Lamb of God, who takes away our sin. Through Him we draw near to You: listening to Your voice, trusting in Your love, delighting in Your word, and carried in Your arms. Cleanse our minds of all error and our hearts of all idols, that we may share the radiant light of Your Spirit and Your character with the world. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray. Amen.
Comfort - Psalm 107:1-9 1 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever! 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble 3 and gathered in from the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south. 4 Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to a city to dwell in; 5 hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. 6 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress. 7 He led them by a straight way till they reached a city to dwell in. 8 Let them thank the LORD for his steadfast love, for his wondrous works to the children of man! 9 For he satisfies the longing soul, and the hungry soul he fills with good things.
Build My Life Words & Music: Brett Younker, Karl Martin, Kirby Kable, Matt Redman and Pat Barrett, 2017.
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for you
Jesus the name above every other name Jesus the only one who could ever saver
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe We live for you
Refrain
Holy there is no one like you There is none beside you
Open up my eyes in wonder And show me who you are and fill me with your heart
And lead me in your love to those around me
I will build my life upon your love It is a firm foundation
I will put my trust alone And I will not be shaken
Be Thou My Vision Words: Dallan Forgail, 8th Century. Music: Irish folk tune.
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that thou art Thou my best thought, by day or by night; Waking or sleeping, thy presence my light
Be thou my wisdom and thou my true word;
I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord. Thou my great Father, and I thy true son; Thou in me dwelling and I with thee one.
Be thou my battle shield, sword for the fight
Be thou my dignity, thou my delight Thou my soul’s shelter, thou my high tower
Raise thou me heavenward, O power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always;
Thou and thou only first in my heart, High king of heaven, my treasure thou art
High king of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun! Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Teaching Text - Psalm 121 1 I lift up my eyes to the hills. From where does my help come? 2 My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth. 3 He will not let your foot be moved; he who keeps you will not slumber. 4 Behold, he who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. 5 The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand. 6 The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. 7 The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life. 8 The LORD will keep your going out and your coming in from this time forth and forevermore.
Sermon - From Where Does My Help Come? Ross Jelgerhuis 1. The Experience of His Help v.3-6 2. The Extent of His Help v.7-8 3. The Expense of His Help
Go Tell It On The Mountain Words: Adapted by John W. Work, 1907. Music: African-American spiritual.
Refrain:
Go, tell it on the mountain, over the hills and everywhere;
go, tell it on the mountain that Jesus Christ is born.
While shepherds kept their watching
o’er silent flocks by night, behold, throughout the heavens
there shone a holy light. Refrain
The shepherds feared and trembled
when lo! above the earth rang out the angel chorus
that hailed our Savior‘s birth. Refrain
Down in a lowly stable
the humble Christ was born, and God sent us salvation
that blessed Christmas morn. Refrain
Benediction Dismissed with God’s Blessing

✓January 6th - Gods Big Picture: Tracing the Storyline of the Bible The Bible is not just a book of quotations, and not just a collection of books, but it is one book with one author and one subject; a progressively unfolding story of redemption. Articulating this storyline not only enhances our own experience of the Bible , but also enhances our sense of a biblical worldview in our conversations with those who don’t know Jesus Where are we? Who are we? What’s gone wrong? What’s the solution?. Join us in understanding Gods unified and unfinished story more deeply.
