The Father’s House
Sometimes on this journey
I get lost in my mistakes
What looks to me like weakness
Is a canvas for Your strength
My story isn't over
My story's just begun
Failure won't define me
'Cause that's what my Father does
Failure won't define me
'Cause that's what my Father does
Ooo lay your burdens down
Ooo here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooo you're in the Father's house
Arrival's not the endgame
The journey's where You are
You never wanted perfect
You just wanted my heart
And the story isn't over
If the story isn’t good
Failure's never final
When the Father's in the room
Failure's never final
When the Father's in the room
Ooo lay your burdens down
Ooo here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooo you're in the Father's house
Prodigals come home
The helpless find hope
Love is on the move
When the Father's in the room
Prison doors fling wide
The dead come to life
Love is on the move
When the Father's in the room
Miracles take place
The cynical find faith
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
Jericho walls are quaking
Strongholds now are shaking
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
Ooo lay your burdens down
Ooo here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooo you're in the Father's house
Ooo lay your burdens down
Ooo here in the Father's house
A Celebration of Home
Pastor: Every home is unique. But there are some common features we can expect to find in a Christ-centered home. Home is filled with joy:
All: “Rejoice with those who rejoice.” (Romans 12:15)
Pastor: Home is filled with kindness and respect:
All: “Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.” (Ephesians 4:29)
Pastor: Home is marked by forgiveness:
All: “Put up with one another. Forgive one another if you are holding something against someone. Forgive, just as the Lord forgave you.” (Colossians 3:13)
Pastor: Home is where Scripture is central:
All: "…as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:15)
Pastor: Home is where we serve others:
All: “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others…” (1 Peter 4:10)
Pastor: Home is built on a solid foundation of God's Word:
All: “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise person who builds a house on the rock. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock” (Matthew 7:24-25)
Greeting & Announcements
Scripture Reading
Ephesians 3:17-19 (NLT) - Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

Apostles Creed
All: I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate. Was crucified, died and was 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 thence He will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
Blessing
Ephesians 3:17 (NLT) - Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.
