Reflection
What would you think if I sang out of tune
Would you stand up and walk out on me?
• From “With A Little Help From My Friends,” by the Beatles (1967)
“A community is only being created when its members accept that they are not going to achieve great things, that
they are not going to be heroes, but simply live each day with new hope, like children, in wonderment as the sun
rises and in thanksgiving as it sets. Community is only being created when they have recognized that the greatness
of man is to accept his insignificance, his human condition and his earth, and to thank God for having put in a finite
body the seeds of eternity which are visible in small and daily gestures of love and forgiveness. The beauty of man is
in this fidelity to the wonder of each day.”
• Jean Vanier, Community And Growth
Preparation
Use the time before the service as an opportunity to prepare for worship, quiet your heart, and receive Christ. Feel free
to read the reflections above. As a courtesy, please turn off your cell phone, beeper, iPod, or other noisemaker at this time.
Welcome
The ancient Celts believed that there were “thin places” on this earth; places where you could experience the
very presence of God. Worship is a “thin place” between heaven and earth where we meet with God. When we gather
for congregational worship we enter into the very presence of the Living God. No matter who you are or what you have
done, God, by his grace, is able to change your life forever. Meet with him at this “thin place”: worship.

Call to Worship *
The earth is the Lord’s, for he made it: Come, let us adore him.
Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
Come, let us adore him.
The mercy of the Lord is everlasting:
Come, let us adore him.
Lord, open our lips.
And our mouths shall proclaim your praise. Prayer of Invocation *
“Sing His Love” *
The Call to Worship is an
invitation into the unique activity of
worship. Our primary activity in
the worship service is to participate
in the gift exchange of worship
itself, by hearing God’s Word, by
offering prayers and praise, and by
receiving spiritual nourishment
offered at the Lord’s table.
The term invocation implies that
the congregation invokes, or “calls
upon,” God. In it, we express our
longing for God as well as deep
dependence and humility.
Father, long before creation, thou hadst chosen us in love
And that love so deep, so moving, draws us close to Christ above
Still it keeps us, still it keeps us, firmly fixed in Christ alone
CHORUS
And the world will sing his love
The world will sing his love
And we'll all join hands, every woman, every man
We'll sing his love
Though the world may change its fashion, yet our God is ever the same;
His compassion and his covenant, through all ages will remain
God's own children, God's own children, must forever praise his name
God so loved us
God so loved us
That his only son he gave
God's compassion is my story, is my boasting all the day;
Mercy free and never failing, moves my will, directs my way
• Words: Based on an ancient Chinese hymn text
• Music: Andrew Osenga (2006)

First Reading *
Genesis 4:2-9
2 Now
Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. 3 In the course of time Cain
brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. 4 And Abel
also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock.
The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, 5 but on Cain and his
offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was
downcast.
As the Bible is the primary means
by which God speaks to and edifies
his people, we read and listen to
the Scriptures together in worship.
In ancient Israel and the early
church, services of worship were
organized for the public reading of
scripture – a practice vital to
building up the community of faith.
6
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? 7 If you do what is right, will you not
be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must
rule over it.”
8
Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let’s go out to the field.” While they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother
Abel and killed him.
9
Then the Lord said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?”
“I don’t know,” he replied. “Am I my brother’s keeper?”
“How Firm A Foundation” *
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word! What more can he say than to you he hath said
You, who unto Jesus for refuge have fled? Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid; I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go
The rivers of grief shall not thee overflow For I will be with thee, thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress
When through fiery trials, thy pathway shall lie
My grace all sufficient shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee, I only design
Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine
• Words: Robert Keen (1787)
• Music: Traditional American folk tune
4.
Why do we sing in church? As
God's people gather for worship, we
focus our attention on God and
away from ourselves by singing
together. We respond with
thanksgiving to God, because we
have hope. And we sing because it is
the best and most complete
response that we can utter.

Call to Confession
Please kneel for the confession
Based on 1 John 1:8-9 (NRSV)
God’s Word assures us: If we say that we have no sin we deceive ourselves, and
the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he who is faithful and just will
forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1
5
Because sin is so pervasive in both
our corporate and individual lives,
Christians and non-Christians are
called to come before the Father
with honesty and transparency,
confessing our brokenness and
asking for both forgiveness and
healing through Jesus Christ…
In humility and faith let us confess our sin to God. Corporate Confession
…we confess corporately to show
our unity even in our brokenness.
Holy and merciful God,
in your presence we confess our sinfulness,
our shortcomings, and our offenses against you.
You alone know how often we have sinned in wandering from your ways,
in wasting your gifts, in forgetting your love.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, for we are ashamed
and sorry for all we have done to displease you. Forgive our sins,
and help us to live in your light and walk in your ways,
for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Savior. Private Confession
We confess individually in order
to own our failing toward God and
toward humankind in thought,
word and deed.
Assurance of Forgiveness *
Christ 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.
Micah 7:18-20 (NRSV)
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over the transgression
of the remnant of your possession?
He does not retain his anger forever,
because he delights in showing clemency.
He will again have compassion upon us;
he will tread our iniquities under foot.
You will cast all our sins
into the depths of the sea.
You will show faithfulness to Jacob
and unswerving loyalty to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our ancestors
from the days of old.

“How Deep The Father's Love For Us” *
How deep the Father's 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
• Words + Music: Stuart Townend (1995)
Prayers of the People
After each petition of the prayer, there will be a time to pray silently.
Please join us in the following refrain:
Leader: Lord, in your mercy,
People: Hear our prayer.
In response to God's having
gathered us in worship, we offer
our petitions to him for the
church, the nation, the world, the
city and those who are suffering.
The Lord's Prayer Based on Matthew 6:9-13
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be
done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us
our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For the kingdom, the power, and
the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.
Passing the Peace
Passing the peace is a tradition
rooted in Scripture that embodies
our identity as peacemakers (Matt.
5:9; 2 Cor. 5:20) and trains ours
hearts, hands, and tongues in the
ways of peace.
At this time children grades 1st-5th are dismissed for CityKids children's church.

Prayer of Illumination
6.
The prayer of illumination
acknowledges the Spirit’s work in
this part of worship by requesting
God’s Spirit to act through the
reading and preaching of Scripture.
The prayer is offered for both the
preacher and the listener, for both
the speaking and the hearing of the
Word.

Second Reading
1 John 3:11-23
11 For
this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who
belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil
and his brother’s were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. 14 We know
that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death.
15 Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
16 This
is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our
brothers and sisters. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on
them, how can the love of God be in that person? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with
actions and in truth.
19 This
is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: 20 If our hearts
condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 21 Dear friends, if our hearts do
not condemn us, we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his
commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and
to love one another as he commanded us.
Sermon
The Follower, Part 5
“Life in Community” – 1 John 3:11-23
Rev. Brad Schmidt, Lead Pastor
A sermon is not just teaching for
living; it is mainly a time when
Christ encounters his people
through his Word.

Affirmation of Faith *
The Apostles’ Creed
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,
dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from
the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated on the right hand of God
the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the
dead.
H
When we affirm our
faith together, it reminds us that
we are part of an ancient and
global faith. This basic creed of
Christian churches, as most
familiarly known, is called the
Apostles' Creed. It has received this
title because of its great antiquity;
it dates from very early times in the
Church, a half century or so from
the last writings of the New
Testament.
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.
Invitation to the Table
Words of Institution
1 Corinthians 11:23-26
On the night on which Jesus was betrayed, he sat at supper with his disciples. While they were eating, he took a
piece of bread, said a blessing, broke it, and gave it to them with the words, “This is my body. It is broken for you.
Do this to remember me.” Later he took the cup, saying, “This cup is God’s covenant, sealed with my blood. Drink
from it, all of you, to remember me.”
For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
*The word "catholic" refers not to the Roman Catholic Church, but to the universal church of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Distribution of the Bread + Cup
CityChurch welcomes all baptized Christians – those who are trusting in Jesus
Christ for salvation and who are members of congregations that proclaim the
gospel – to receive the Holy Communion (also called the Lord’s Supper, or
the Eucharist) with us. We will be coming forward to receive Communion.
When you come forward, tear a piece of the bread, and then dip it into the
cup.
Please note that we use wine in Communion. If you cannot receive wine, nonalcoholic white grape juice is also available. If you are not able to receive The
Lord’s Supper, please use this time to meditate on one of the prayers below.

“The Eucharist is the definitive
action practiced in the Christian
community that keeps Jesus Christ
before us as the Savior of the world
and our Savior, and ourselves as
sinners in need of being saved. The
Eucharist is the sacramental act
that pulls us into actual material
participation with Christ (eating
and drinking bread and wine) as he
gives his very life “for us and for
our salvation” (cf., the Nicene
Creed)... The Eucharist puts Jesus
in his place: dying on the cross and
giving us that sacrificed life. And it
puts us in our place: opening our
hands and receiving the remission
of our sins, which is our salvation.”
• Eugene Peterson, Christ Plays
in Ten Thousand Places
Prayers of Meditation for Those Not Communing
Prayer for Those Searching for Truth
Prayer of Belief
Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and
the life. Grant that I might be undaunted by the cost
of following you as I consider the reasons for doing
so. 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.
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 Overcome with Sin
Lord Jesus Christ, grant that I may see in you the
fulfillment of all my need and may turn from every
false satisfaction to feed on you, the true and living
bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so
closely and run with perseverance the race set before
me, looking to you, the pioneer and perfecter of my
faith. Amen.
Prayer for Covenant Children (Not Yet Confirmed)
Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for placing me inside
your family, the church. Help me more and more to
know you, to love you and to follow you as your
faithful disciple. Amen.

Gifts + Offerings
Christ calls us, to give generously as a sign of gratitude for how much he has given us. Our response to his grace
enables us to give sacrificially of ourselves to one another and the work of Christ’s Kingdom. Your gift is an act
of personal worship to God in response to his grace in your life. The allocation of your time and money to God’s
service should be a byproduct of prayer and consultation with other Christians to whom you are accountable.
If you’re new to CityChurch, or are exploring Christianity, you’re under no obligation to give. However, if you call
CityChurch your “home church,” consider allocating a significant portion of your tithe and offering to the
community where you invest most of your time, and where others are investing in you.
For your convenience, one-time or recurring gifts can be made online at: citychurchftl.com/giving.
“Sing His Love” *
Though the world may change its fashion, yet our God is ever the same;
His compassion and his covenant, through all ages will remain
God's own children, God's own children, must forever praise his nam
CHORUS
And the world will sing his love
The world will sing his love
And we'll all join hands, every woman, every man
We'll sing his love
Benediction *
From Romans 15:13
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing so that you
may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Just as we ordain new ministers
and send them into the world to
serve, in the Benediction, Christ
ordains you with a blessing that
equips you for service.

VISION
THE VISION OF CITYCHURCH is the Spiritual, Social, and Cultural renewal of Fort Lauderdale.
MISSION
WE SEEK TO BE the very presence of Christ in Fort Lauderdale by cultivating a community of Faith, Hope + Love.
VALUES
Faith
Hope
Love
Because we are a Community
of Faith we value:
Because we are a Community
of Hope we value:
Because we are a Community
of Love we value:
The Gospel. The Gospel is the only
hope for humankind. The message
of the Gospel is that Christ has done
what is necessary to bring us into a
relationship with God. We keep it at
the center of everything.
The City. Christianity has always
thrived in an urban context. We love
Fort Lauderdale, and want to live,
work, celebrate, raise our families,
enjoy, and serve this great city.
Life in Community. The Trinity is at
the core of Christian truth; namely
that God himself has always been in
community – the Father and Son
and Spirit all loving, giving and
sharing with one another. We
acknowledge that we need each
other, and that the life Jesus offers
works only in connection with a
community of faith.
Mission & Movement. Because God
is the one who initiates relationships,
and sent his Son to seek and save
people, we will pursue relationships
with people in hope that they will be
restored to their Father. CityChurch
does not exist as an end in itself –
we desire to be an incubator for
church planting throughout South
Florida, in that when we grow, we
will be very intentional about
spinning off and beginning new
congregations throughout our city.
Each of these churches will partner
with us in pursuing the goal of
spiritual, social, and cultural renewal.
12.
Arts & Industries. We believe that
the good news of the Gospel is
about God’s redemption of this
fallen world and its cultural
expressions. We are a church that
welcomes, encourages, and equips
artists of every medium... and
therefore we will seek to offer artists
opportunities to show or perform
their work, providing
encouragement for them to grow
and develop as artists. We also
believe that the good news of the
Gospel impacts work and the
marketplace. We will encourage men
and women to use their positions,
talents, and gifts to the best of their
abilities, and to the betterment of
our city.
Social Healing. The Gospel is the
good news of Christ’s kingdom.
CityChurch seeks to partner with
local social service agencies that
assist the suffering in our own local
community. Furthermore, we will
pray for sensitivity to the mercy
needs of our community and will
seek to serve our neighbors out of
Christ’s love.
