Welcome Song: I Stand Amazed
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean.
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!
He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calvary, and suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see,
’Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me.
Welcome to Sojourn

Call to Worship
Daniel Grim, Elder
“28 When he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 As he approached Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples 30 and said, “Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it? ’ say this: ‘The Lord needs it.’ ”
32 So those who were sent left and found it just as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt? ”
34 “The Lord needs it,” they said. 35 Then they brought it to Jesus, and after throwing their clothes on the colt, they helped Jesus get on it. 36 As he was going along, they were spreading their clothes on the road. 37 Now he came near the path down the Mount of Olives, and the whole crowd of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the miracles they had seen:
38 Blessed is the King who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Peace in heaven
and glory in the highest heaven!
39 Some of the Pharisees from the crowd told him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.”
40 He answered, “I tell you, if they were to keep silent, the stones would cry out.” ”
How Deep the Fatherʼs Love
How Deep the Fatherʼs love for us, How vast beyond all measure
That He should give his only Son, To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss, The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One, Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross, My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice, Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there, Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished!
I will not boast in anything, No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom
Lenten Liturgy
Tyler Daniels, Elder
The Creed: The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic* church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
[*”Catholic” meaning “universal,” as of the one Christian church of all times and all places.]
Extravagant Love
You were seated high above the heavens
But left it all to be lower than the angels
And then be judged by those you had created
The wonder of it all
In the darkness of that final moment
Stripped and beaten the King of kings now broken
Blood was poured out winning our atonement
The wonder of it all; the wonder of it all
What seemed a sure defeat
Would be Your victory
Oh Lamb of God; Oh Lamb of God
You gave it all; You gave it all
We are nothing but dust yet You pour out on us
Your extravagant love
But no grave could ever hold You captive
And with a mercy that none could ever fathom
You've repaid our hatred with Your ransom
The wonder of it all; the wonder of it all
We who once were enemies
Now worship at Your feet
Come and behold Him; come and behold Him
Who was washed our sins away
Come and adore Him; come and adore Him
The Lamb who once was slain
Pastoral Point
Boldly I Approach
By grace alone somehow I stand where even angels fear to tread
Invited by redeeming love before the throne of God above
He pulls me close with nail-scarred hands into His everlasting arms
When condemnation grips my heart and Satan tempts me to despair
I hear the voice that scatters fear; the Great I Am, the Lord is here
O praise the One who fights for me, and shields my soul eternally!
Boldly I approach your throne, blameless now I’m running home
By your blood I come, welcomed as Your own
Into the arms of majesty
Behold the bright and risen Son; more beauty than this world has known
I’m face to face with Love Himself, His perfect spotless righteousness
A thousand years, a thousand tongues are not enough to sing His praise
This is the art of celebration
Knowing we're free from condemnation
O praise the One, praise the One, who made an end to all my sin (Repeat)
Message
Scripture
“14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens — Jesus the Son of God — let us hold fast to our confession. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who has been tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin. 16 Therefore, let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in time of need.”
Discussion Questions:
What do we mean when we say, “Jesus is the Son of God”? What does the Bible mean when it calls Jesus “our great high priest”? How has He passed through the heavens, and why is that good news for believers?
What is our confession? Which biblical words, phrases, and references fill it out? How can you, your family, and your church all hold it strongly?
What kinds of things can we pray about boldly? What might a believer expect to receive at the throne of grace? What are your “with boldness” prayers? Pray for them together with your group!
Communion
Doxology
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav'nly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
It Is Well With My Soul
When peace like a river attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well (it is well)
With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul
My sin, oh the bliss of this glorious thought
My sin, not in part, but the whole
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend
Even so, it is well with my soul
