CELEBRATING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRISTCELEBRATING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST

To Our Guests:Visiting a church can be an intimidating experience. We are glad that you are here, and we hope to remove as much of that awkwardness as we can from your visit to Cityview.

Our worship service usually lasts about 90 minutes. This worship guide will help you navigate the service. There are short paragraphs on the next page to explain each part of the service.

The service is designed to be accessible to you, whether you’ve spent years in the church or you’ve never been to a church service in your life. During the service, we will try to help you understand how the message of Jesus can apply to your life today.

If you are new to Cityview or just visiting, we would love to know that you were here. We have clipboards next to each row: we call those our “Connection Cards”. These are a place for you to let us know whatever information you might want us to know, and to request any information from us that you might need. Pastor Dan Adamson (dadamson@cityviewchicago.org) is alwaysenthusiastic to meet you in person, as well.

For Children:Children of all ages are welcome in the worship service.

Nursery is provided during the service for children 2 years of age and younger.

Children ages three through 5th grade are given the choice of attending Sunday school classes beginning during the greeting portion of the service.

If you have any questions about children’s ministry at Cityivew, please contact Interim Children’s Ministry Coordinator Lynda Adamson (lyndabadamson@gmail.com).

Community Life:After the ServiceEach week, we linger for fellowship with one another. Please join us for refreshments in the cafeteria.

Community GroupsIn addition to weekly worship, we offer small groups (community groups, men’s and women’s bible studies, book studies) that meet throughout the week. We want all of our members and regular attenders to be intentional about building trusting and meaningful spiritual relationships. For a complete list of our small groups, please visit our Web site at www.cityviewchicago.org or fill out one of our “connection cards” for more information.

The LiturgyPreparing in StillnessWe often come into worship tired, overwhelmed and distracted. If we are honest we are not prepared to worship God. Each week, we take a few moments to quiet our hearts to prepare to meet God in worship. Please take this time to read the reflections, look over the rest of the service or pray as we anticipate being called into worship.

Call to WorshipWe need to be “called” to come and worship God because we default to thinking the world revolves around our needs and agendas- and also because we struggle to believe that God truly wants us to draw near to him. The call to worship focuses our attention on God and prepares us to meet him.

Confession of SinBecause sin is so pervasive in both our individual and corporate lives, we are called to come before God with honesty and transparency, confessing our failures and brokenness and asking for both healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. We confess corporately to show our unity even in our brokenness.

Assurance of GraceChrist has given the Church authority to declare forgiveness of sins in his name. Because of this, when the liturgist proclaims that your sins are forgiven, you can know that Christ agrees.

Worship Through GivingBecause money is so powerfully tied to our hearts, this is a valuable expression of worship as we acknowledge that everything we have comes from God and belongs to him. If you are visiting with us, we are glad you are here- please do not feel obligated to give.

The SermonSome view the sermon as a way to get principles for “right” living. In reality, as we open the Scripture we corporately encounter Christ. Therefore, as you listen, pray to be open to the Spirit’s leading, exhortation, encouragement, and healing.

CommunionCommunion, also called the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist, is the family meal for Christians. We welcome all Christians - those who look to Christ alone for salvation, who are in good standing with his church, and who seek strength to live more faithfully to their Savior - to join in this sacrament.

The BenedictionGod always gets the last word in our encounter of worship. For Christians, it is always a word of blessing and sending to live our lives in the light of the reality of the Gospel of Christ.

ORDER OF WORSHIPCityview Presbyterian Church exists in Chicago’s West Loop neighborhood to celebrate the good news of Jesus Christ through worship, relationships and service.

To declare that the readers are elect means that they belong to the holy people of God, that is, not that they are more pious or that they are morally superior to others, but that they have been called to form a distinctive community with a singular mission. To be called “holy” means that they, like Israel, have been set apart for a special purpose in God’s saving plan. — Eugene M. Boring

God Calls Us

Call to Worship from Isaiah 40:28-31Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

In our anguish we cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting us free.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

The LORD is our strength and our song; he has become our salvation.

We will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done.

Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone;

The LORD has done this; and it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Assurance of Grace - I John 3:1See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God; and that is what we are. In Christ, we are forgiven!

Thanks be to God!Brothers and Sisters, you have heard God’s holy demands and have confessed your sins to him. Do you believe that Jesus Christ, by his perfect life, sacrificial death, and glorious resurrection has atoned for your sins and satisfied the wrath of God for you? We do.

Prayers of the People Wise Father, you are the true King over all things. As citizens of your kingdom we have more than we can imagine, but you bless us also with possessions and influence in our land. Share your wisdom with us as we faithfully proclaim your name and as we use all the gifts you give us to show our neighbors the story of your grace. For this, O Lord, we pray:

Lord, hear our prayer.Jesus, our Lord, you came humbly into the world in order to share in our struggles and to identify with us in our humanity. Draw our hearts to trust your great love for us and let them in turn overflow with love for you so that we would delight in your glory and carry your image into the places you lead us. For this, O Lord, we pray:

Lord, hear our prayer.Holy Spirit, our guide and keeper, we long for your presence as we seek your peace in our lives and in the lives of those in need. Grant authority to those who fight against injusticeand safety to those who have suffered from injustice, in our cities, our country, and the world. For this, O Lord, we pray:

Lord, hear our prayer.And for what else should we pray?

Now gathering our prayers into one, let us pray boldly as our Savior has taught us:

Lord’s PrayerOur Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Members of the congregation may add their own intercessions at this time, end-ing with “For This, O Lord, we Pray” and all responding “Lord hear our prayer.”

11

Opportunities and ConcernsPassing of the Peace - from John 13:34

Hear the teaching of Christ: “A new command I give you, that you love one another as I have loved you.” The peace of Christ be with you all.

And also with you!

God Speaks To Us

Sermon Text - 1 Peter 1:1-31 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you.

Sermon - Celebrating the Good News of Jesus Christ: Our New Identity

Reverend Dan Adamson

God Strengthens Us

Confession of Faith The Apostles’ CreedChristian, what do you believe?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Invitation to the Lord’s Table

Prayer of Thanksgiving and ConsecrationThe Lord be with you.

And also with you.Lift up your hearts.

We lift them up to the Lord.Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

It is right to give him thanks and praise.

DoxologyPraise God from whom all blessings flow Praise him all creatures here and below Praise him above ye heavenly hosts Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Prayer for those searching for truthLord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. As I consider the reasons for doing so, grant that I might be undaunted by the cost of following you. 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 coherent, convincing, and that leads to the life that you promise. Amen.

Prayer of belief Lord Jesus, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope. I thank you for paying my debt, bearing my punishment on the cross, and offering forgiveness and new life. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as Savior and Lord. Amen.

Prayer for those struggling with 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, thetrue and living bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so closely, and faithfully follow you in life. Amen.

Prayer of commitmentLord Jesus, you have called us to follow you in baptism and in a life of committed discipleship in your church. Grant that I may take the necessary steps to be one with your people, and live in the fullness of your Spirit.Amen.

Prayers for Reflection

Words of InstitutionWe break bread in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and proclaim the mystery of the faith:

Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us;Therefore, let us keep the feast.
