What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
Omniscient all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea, without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Hear this call to worship from Psalm 150.

“Praise God in his sanctuary;

praise him in his mighty heavens.

Praise him for his acts of power;

praise him for his surpassing greatness.

Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet,

praise him with the harp and other string instruments,

praise him with dancing and singing,

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord.

Jesus my brother
My covenant friend
You know the struggle
No need to pretend
So I will come before You
With my heart open wide
Keeper of Your promises
You always

Stay by my side
You stay by my side

Jesus my Savior
My help in the night
I walked in darkness
Til I saw the light
Now I will praise You Lord
As long as I am living
I will praise You Lord
As long as I have

Breath in my lungs
Breath in my lungs

Now I will praise You Lord
As long as I am living
I will praise You Lord
As long as I have

Breath in my lungs
Breath in my lungs

My hope my Healer
My soul’s Redeemer
Calm in the storm
My peace my freedom
My heart is beating
For You alone

For You alone

Jesus my rock
You help me to stand
Swift is the water
But strong is Your hand
So I will praise You Lord
As long as I am living
I will praise You Lord
As long as I have

Breath in my lungs
Breath in my lungs

He who was before there was life
Walked across the pages of time
He who made every living thing
Behold Him

He who heard humanity's cry
Left his throne to wake as a child
He became like the least of us
Behold Him

Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the Roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him

He who dined with sinners and saints
Healed the blind the lost and the lame
Even now He is in our midst
Behold Him

He who chose a criminal's end
Paid with blood to settle our debt
Buried death as He rose to life
Behold Him

Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the Roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him

Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God the Risen Savior
Oh be still and behold Him

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

Worthy, worthy, worthy
To receive all praise

Jesus, Son of God, Messiah
The Lamb, the Roaring Lion
Oh be still and behold Him

Jesus, Alpha and Omega
Our God the Risen Savior
Oh be still and behold Him

Behold Him
Behold Him

Please join me in reading our confession:

“Eternal God,

in whom we live and move and have our being, whose face is hidden from us by our sins,

and whose mercy we forget in the blindness of our hearts:

cleanse us from all our offenses,

and deliver us from proud thoughts and vain desires,

that with reverent and humble hearts we may draw near to you,

confessing our faults, confiding in your grace, and finding in you our refuge and strength; through Jesus Christ your Son.”

And hear this Assurance from Hebrews 10

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts, sprinkled clean from a sinful conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”

Thanks be to God!

“At this time, we would like to take a few moments to pass the peace of Christ. Please greet one another.”

Elementary will remain in service. Foundations is dismissed.

WORK DAY

After church today, we'll have a building workday to tackle a few projects throughout our space. If you haven't signed up but would still like to help, just connect with Matt Crummy after the service.

SUPER BOWL PARTY

Tonight at 5:30pm we'll also have a Super Bowl party here at Gateway! Bring a snack or drink to share, and find Dominic if you have any questions about that.

GALENTINE'S DAY

Join the women of The Gateway Church and bring a friend for a Galentine’s night at Malo on Friday, February 13. Enjoy a fun, relaxed night out downtown. RSVP on our website to save your seat!

MEMBER MEETING

Our annual member meeting will occur on Sunday, February 15, following our weekend gathering. This is a great time to reflect on the last year as a community and look to the future together. Here at Gateway, we have an annual membership renewal, so whether you're brand new to membership or you've been around for many years, we'd invite you to join us as we reflect on what God is doing in this community.

GATEWAY GROUPS

Lastly, Gateway Groups will be starting up again beginning the week of February 22. We’ll meet for 6 weeks during Lent, in conjunction with an accompanying series we’ll be going through as a church. We’ll share more details and registration information in the coming weeks.

We are going to enter into a time of giving. If you would like to give at this time, there are a couple of ways available to you:

- Visit our website at thegatewaychurch.com to give online.

- Or you can grab an envelope and drop it in the black offering box at the back of the room.

Please join me in reading our generosity liturgy.

---

Holy Father, there is nothing I have that You have not given me.

All I have and am belong to You, bought with the blood of Jesus.

To spend everything on myself, and to give without sacrifice,

is the way of the world that You cannot abide.

But generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord;

who love Him with free hearts and serve Him with renewed minds.

Who withstand the delusion of riches that chokes the word;

Whose hearts are in your kingdom and not in the systems of the world.

I am determined to increase in generosity until it can be said that there is no needy person among us.

I am determined to be trustworthy with such a little thing as money that You may trust me with true riches.

Above all, I am determined to be generous because You, Father, are generous.

It is the delight of Your daughters and sons to share Your traits, and to show what You are like to all the world.

Our scripture today comes from Matthew 28:19-20.

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

This is the word of the Lord

(All: Thanks be to God)

You may be seated

Communion is available in the baskets at the end of each row. Contains juice and wafer (gluten-free option available).

Oh that I could see your face
How I’m longing for that day
Brighter sun of holy grace
Make my heart a holy place

Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own
Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone
Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go

For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God
And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God
And they will find a refuge for theirs is the kingdom of God

Beauty shining from your face
Always longed to see this place
Is there somewhere I can stay?
Even just a couple days?

Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own
Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone
Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go

For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God
And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God
And they will find a refuge for theirs is the kingdom of God

The Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want
In valley or pasture, we shall not want
Our cup runneth over and over
For now and forever
For now and forever

The Lord is our shepherd, we shall not want
In valley or pasture, we shall not want
Our cup runneth over and over
For now and forever
For now and forever
For now and forever
For now and forever

Blessed are the poor who have nothing to own
Blessed are the mourners who are crying alone
Blessed are the guilty who have nowhere to go

For their hearts have a road to the kingdom of God
And their souls are the songs of the kingdom of God
And they will find a refuge for theirs is the kingdom of God

All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
Oh praise him, Alleluia
Thou burning sun with golden beams
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
Oh praise him Oh praise him
Alleluia Alleluia Alleluia
Let all things their Creator bless
And worship Him in humbleness
O praise Him, alleluia

Praise praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, three in One
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Praise praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, three in One
O praise Him, O praise Him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Oh Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia, oh alleluia

Hear this benediction

“Brothers and Sisters, go out into the world to be who you are: children of God and children of light. Turn your faces toward the merciful and gracious light of God’s face. Bask in your belovedness and remain in his light. Amen.”

Grace and Peace.
