Order of Worship for Sunday, August 24th 2025

Leader: We gather to worship the God of vision and hope.
People: We come to see what God is building within us.

Leader: The Spirit stirs us to risk, to plan, and to grow.
People: We come with courage to walk in the way of Jesus.

Leader: Let us worship the Master Builder, the One who never fails.
People: To God be glory, now and forever!

Gracious Lord, You call us to step forward in faith, to risk for the sake of Your Kingdom. Yet we hold back, afraid of failure, afraid of cost. We confess that we prefer what is easy and familiar, rather than daring to follow You into the unknown. Forgive us for our fear and our hesitation. Hear the silent confessions of our hearts as we seek Your strength.

Silent Prayer of Confession

Amen.

Leader: Hear the good news: In Christ, our failures are not final, and our fears do not define us. By His grace, we are forgiven and made new.
People: Thanks be to God, who gives us courage to follow and strength to trust.

God of vision and promise, You are the Master Builder of our lives and our church. We bring these gifts as bricks of faith and beams of hope, trusting that You will use them to build Your Kingdom. Bless our giving, our planning, and our risking, that all we offer may be part of Your holy design. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
