Welcome to the recap of the Veritas worship gathering on May 13, 2012. Below are the songs and liturgy from our gathering. You can also find a link to this set and the sets of many other churches at www.theworshipcommunity.com.
Song: Refuge by Adapted from “Psalm 31, Part I” by Isaac Watts Written by Neil Robins
Reading: Call to Worship:
It is a good thing when we gather like this to remember God’s promises to us! When our lives seem chaotic and out of control, we need to hear God say “I am in control.” When we are feeling alone and depressed, we need to hear of God’s unending love and faithfulness to us! We can boldly worship God knowing that He loves us with an unending love, knowing has a plan for us that will glorify Him, and that He has firmly established his people’s salvation in Jesus. Hear God’s Word, as he calls us to trust in him and worship him!
L: Let all that we are wait quietly before God, for our hope is in him. He alone is our rock and our salvation, our fortress where we will not be shaken. Our victory and honor come from God alone.
C: He is our refuge, a rock where no enemy can reach us.
L: People of God, trust in him at all times.
C: We pour out our hearts to him, for God is our refuge.
- Based on Psalm 62:5-8
Song: I Sing The Mighty Power Of God by Isaac Watts
Song: To God Be The Glory by Fanny Jane Crosby
Reading: Confession/Assurance:
L: God of salvation, in Christ You have done great things—our hearts are filled with joy. By Your power You lifted us out of the wasteland of sin and brought us with joy and peace into Your kingdom. Salvation is Your gift to us. But we confess that often we try to replace Your gift with our own efforts. We try to complete what is already perfect; we try to add to what is already full; we try to earn what we already have.
C: Forgive us for our foolishness. May Your Spirit convict us of our sin and cause us to rest in the redeeming work of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, through whom we have been given new life. Amen.
Lets sing this song as a prayer – confessing our need for Jesus.
Song: I Need Thee Every Hour by Annie Sherwood Hawks and Robert Lowry
Passing of the Peace:
The blessing that God has given us is that Christ has taken the penalty for our sin, paid the debt we owed of death and separation from God, and God has drawn us close to him, as his sons and daughters and blessed us with peace and salvation! Lets take a moment or so to greet each other and demonstrate the peace we have with God and each other!

Our Sermon this week was from Nahum 3. We sometimes try to see Scripture as simply a handbook for life. If that’s so and the Bible just gives us to-do lists and advice columns, why would Jonah and Nahum end in questions? The story of Nineveh is about more than Nineveh. This is about us. This is about God’s will for us. But what do these seemingly opposite books tell us about God’s will? In Jonah, He displays radical grace to Nineveh through a disobedient prophet, but in Nahum God completely wipes the city off of the face of the earth. What’s the common factor? What is God’s revealed will? Listen to the sermon online here.
Communion:
L: Jesus’ death brings us life and this meal reminds us that we are fed by Jesus and forgiven because of Jesus.
C: We rejoice that You have died, rose again, and are now with the Father advocating for us. Amen.
L: With our money, time, and talent we give generously, knowing that through Your Son, Jesus, You have generously given to us.
C: We rejoice that You have given everything and we joyfully give everything back to Your care. Amen.
Song: Alas And Did My Savior Bleed by Isaac Watts
Song: Hallelujah What A Savior by Philip Paul Bliss
Reading: Commitment:
L: While we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. Indeed, rarely will anyone die for a righteous person— though perhaps for a good person someone might actually dare to die.
C: But God proves His love for us in that while we still were sinners Christ died for us.
L: Much more surely then, now that we have been justified by His blood, will we be saved through Him from the wrath of God.
C: For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more surely, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life.
—Romans 5:6-10
Song: How He Loves by John Mark McMillan

We wanted to make sure that we recognized all of the amazing mothers at Veritas- so the men gave them a standing ovation to let them know how much they appreciate all of their dedication and hard work!
Benediction:
Because of Christ’s resurrection, we have the hope and promise of eternal life. As we go, may that truth sink deep into our hearts and may we live in worship of our Risen Savior, to the glory of God the Father, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Peace be with you.
L: Peace be with you. C: And also with you.
