Welcome to Cityview Presbyterian Church

presby terian chu rch

To Our Guests: Visiting a church can be an intimidating experience. We are glad that you are here, and we hope to remove as much of that awkwardness as we can from your visit to Cityview. Our worship service usually lasts about 90 minutes. This worship guide will help you navigate the service. There are short paragraphs on the next page to explain each part of the service. The service is designed to be accessible to you, whether you’ve spent years in the church or you’ve never been to a church service in your life. During the service, we will try to help you understand how the message of Jesus can apply to your life today. If you are new to Cityview or just visiting, we would love to know that you were here. The Connection Cards, which can be found in this bulletin, are a place for you to let us know whatever information you might want us to know, and to request any information from us that you might need. You may put this in the offering when it is passed at the end of the service. Pastor Dan Adamson (dadamson@cityviewchicago.org) is always enthusiastic to meet you in person, as well.

For Children: Children of all ages are welcome in the worship service. Nursery is provided during the service for children 3 years of age and younger.

Community Life: After the Service Each week, we linger for fellowship with one another. Please join us for refreshments in the cafeteria. Community Groups Community Groups are the primary way to get to know people at Cityview. At a Community Group, you will be invited to deepen your spiritual involvement with others. You will find a weekly opportunity to study the scripture passage for the upcoming week’s sermon and pray together.

The Liturgy Preparing in Stillness

We often come into worship tired, overwhelmed and distracted. If we are honest we are not prepared to worship God. Each week, we take a few moments to quiet our hearts to prepare to meet God in worship. Please take this time to read the reflections, look over the rest of the service or pray as we anticipate being called into worship.

Call to Worship

We need to be “called” to come and worship God because we default to thinking the world revolves around our needs and agendas- and also because we struggle to believe that God truly wants us to draw near to him. The call to worship focuses our attention on God and prepares us to meet him.

Confession of Sin

Because sin is so pervasive in both our individual and corporate lives, we are called to come before God with honesty and transparency, confessing our failures and brokenness and asking for both healing and forgiveness through Jesus Christ. We confess corporately to show our unity even in our brokenness.

Assurance of Grace

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.

The Sermon

Some view the sermon as a way to get principles for “right” living. In reality, as we open the Scripture we corporately encounter Christ. Therefore, as you listen, pray to be open to the Spirit’s leading, exhortation, encouragement, and healing.

Communion

Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist, is the family meal for Christians. We welcome all Christians - those who look to Christ alone for salvation, who are in good standing with his church, and who seek strength to live more faithfully to their Savior - to join in this sacrament.

Worship Through Giving

Because money is so powerfully tied to our hearts, this is a valuable expression of worship as we acknowledge that everything we have comes from God and belongs to him. If you are visiting with us, we are glad you are here- please do not feel obligated to give.

The Benediction

God always gets the last word in our encounter of worship. For Christians, it is always a word of blessing and sending to live our lives in the light of the reality of the Gospel of Christ.

ORDER OF WORSHIP

Nehemiah’s life was totally devoted to God. He found delight in seeking God’s face (1:4), revering God’s name (1:11), pursuing God’s will (1:11; 2:4-5), acknowledging God’s goodness (2:8,18), serving God’s people (2:12, 17), trusting God’s power (2:20), confessing God’s holiness (4:14,5:9, 15), sharing God’s word (8:9), showing God’s love (8:10), remembering God’s generosity (8:13-18), recalling God’s faithfulness (9:5-37), obeying God’s commands (10:29) and encouraging God’s servants (10:37-39, 13:10-13). - Raymond Brown

God Calls Us Call to Worship Let us worship God and draw near to God’s holy throne. Beloved Jesus, Holy Spirit, we come. We bless You, our true Light, holy and reverent is Your name. Better is one day in your courts, O God, than thousands elsewhere. We bless You, whose breadth and length, height, and depth stretches beyond our finite understanding.

God Cleanses Us Call to Confession — from Nehemiah 1:6,7 We have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. We have acted very corruptly against you and have not keep the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded. Let us confess our sins to God:

Prayer of Confession Our Father, you tell us to be in the world— to love you and our neighbor, to pursue justice,  to seek the welfare of our city and to make disciples of all nations.  Forgive us for the times we have despised the world—  when we have coveted our neighbors’ possessions,  when we have looked on those in need with contempt,  and when we have withdrawn from those around us.  Forgive us for the times we have selfishly used the world— when we have been ruled by self ambition,  when we have not been good stewards of the world’s resources, and when we have had a posture of taking instead of giving. Forgive us for the times we have blended into the world— when we have not lived distinctly Christian lives,  when we have been apathetic to those in need,  when we have sinfully sought the approval of others,  and when we have been ashamed of your name.  Forgive us and renew us.

Silent Confession Assurance of Grace — from Nehemiah 1:8-9 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, “If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples, but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your people are dispersed under the farthest skies, I will gather them from there and bring them to the place I have chosen, to make my name dwell there. Thanks be to God. Brothers and sisters, you have heard God’s holy demands and have confessed your sins to him. Do you believe that Jesus Christ, by his perfect life, sacrificial death, and © glorious resurrection has atoned for your sins and satisfied the wrath of God for you? We do.

Passing of the Peace — from John 13:34 Hear the teaching of Christ: “A new command I give you, that you love one another as I have loved you.” The peace of Christ be with you all. And also with you!

Story of Grace — Matt Covalle Opportunities and Concerns

God Speaks To Us New Testament Reading — 1 Peter 2:4-6

As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 For it stands in Scripture: 4

“Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.”

New Testament Reading — Luke 19:41-44 (Jesus weeps over Jerusalem) And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” 41

This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Sermon — Broken Heart over Broken Walls: Nehemiah Reverend Dan Adamson

Sermon Text — Nehemiah 1:1-11 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hacaliah. Now it happened in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Susa the citadel, 2 that Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah. And I asked them concerning the Jews who escaped, who had survived the exile, and concerning Jerusalem. 3 And they said to me, “The remnant there in the province who had survived the exile is in great trouble and shame. The wall of Jerusalem is broken down, and its gates are destroyed by fire.” 4 As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven. 5 And I said, “O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God who keeps covenant and steadfast love with those who love him and keep his commandments, 6 let your ear be attentive and your eyes open, to hear the prayer of your servant that I now pray before you day and night for the people of Israel your servants, confessing the sins of the people of Israel, which we have sinned against you. Even I and my father’s house have sinned. 7 We have acted very corruptly against you and have not kept the commandments, the statutes, and the rules that you commanded your servant Moses. 8 Remember the word that you commanded your servant Moses, saying, ‘If you are unfaithful, I will scatter you among the peoples, 9 but if you return to me and keep my commandments and do them, though your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of heaven, from there I will gather them and bring them to the place that I have chosen, to make my name dwell there.’ 10 They are your servants and your people, whom you have redeemed by your great power and by your strong hand. 11 O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.” Now I was cupbearer to the king. 1

God Strengthens Us Confession of Faith — The Apostles’ Creed Christian, what do you believe? I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. 11

Prayers for Reflection Prayer for those searching for truth Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth, and the life. As I consider the reasons for doing so, grant that I might be undaunted by the cost of following you. 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.

Prayer of belief 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 of commitment Lord Jesus, you have called us to follow you in baptism and in a life of committed discipleship in your church. Grant that I may take the necessary steps to be one with your people, and live in the fullness of your Spirit. Amen.

Prayer for those struggling with sin Lord Jesus, 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 faithfully follow you in life. Amen.

Communion Prayer

We thank you, Lord, that you have fed us in this sacrament, united us with Christ, and given us a foretaste of the heavenly banquet prepared for all peoples. Amen.

Pastoral Prayer The Lord’s Prayer 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Each week people are available to pray with you immediately following the service, located near the communion table. 15

Around Cityview EVENING PRAYER 6:00 PM / TONIGHT / 1812 S. DEARBORN, UNIT 8 Join us to pray for one another, the church, the city and the world every Sunday night at the Adamson home from 6-7pm. Contact Dan (dadamson@cityviewchicago.org) for more information.

BREAKTHROUGH FAMILYPLEX GRAND OPENING JANUARY 17 / 9:00 - 2:30 Breakthrough has asked Cityview to send 10 volunteers to assist during their grand opening of the new FamilyPlex on January 17th. Volunteers will help clean, run coat check, and float around to interact with guests and make sure it’s a successful event. Please notify Josh Koonce (joshua.koonce@gmail.com) if you’re able to volunteer, either for the whole or part of the time, by Tuesday, January 13. THEOLOGY: THE BASICS JANUARY 18 - FEBRUARY 1 / AFTER WORSHIP SERVICE We believe that the way you think about God, the Bible, and the Gospel matters to your spiritual life and discipleship. We will spend three weeks thinking together and asking questions about the basics of the Christian faith. We will explore questions like “Why does theology matter?” “Where did all the different church denominations come from?” and “what are the basic beliefs of Christianity?” Contact Craig Hefner if you have any questions. POTLUCK FEBRUARY 8 / AFTER WORSHIP SERVICE Stay after the service on February 8 for a congregational meeting and potluck lunch. We’ll share information about the final 2015 budget, plans for the new year, and results of the annual survey. Bring a dish and/or drink to share. Guests welcome, members strongly encouraged.
