Welcome to Cityview Presbyterian Church

C TYVIEW

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 along the center aisle, 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. 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. Children ages four through 5th grade are given the choice of attending Sunday school classes beginning during the opportunities and concerns portion of the service. If you have any questions about children’s ministry at Cityivew, please contact Children’s Ministry Coordinator Lynda Adamson (lyndabadamson@gmail.com).

Community Life: Before the Service Each week, we take time before the service to fellowship and prepare for worship. Refreshments are served starting at 9:45 AM outside of the sanctuary. 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 Jesus was the master creator of story, and nothing is so attractive or so compelling as a good story. Children (and adults) do not say, “tell me some facts”; they want a story. Stories are inherently interesting. Discourses we tolerate; to story we attend. Story entertains, informs, involves, motivates, authenticates, and mirrors existence. - Klyne Snodgrass Easter is a celebration of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. It’s a day of joy and renewal, proclaiming that all the hopes and expectations of the world are realized in the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Because the good news of Easter can hardly be contained in a single day’s celebration, Easter is only the first of fifty days of “Eastertide”, a season of rejoicing that leads up to Pentecost. Throughout the season we reflect on our new life in Jesus now, the promise of bodily resurrection at his return, and the implications of his promise to make all things new. We, as a community, will be looking at the parables of the kingdom throughout this Easter season.

God Calls Us Call to Worship* — from Psalm 150 Alleluia! Christ is risen!
 The Lord is risen indeed, Alleluia!
 Praise the Lord! Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in all places under heaven! Praise him for his mighty deeds; praise him for his resurrecting power!
 Praise him according to his surpassing greatness!
 Praise God with instruments; with dancing and singing!
 Let everything with life and breath praise the Lord!
 Praise the Lord! Amen.

Amazing Grace T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares I have already come; ‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far and Grace will lead me home.

Prayer of Adoration Risen Christ, for whom no door is locked, no entrance barred: open the doors of our hearts,
that we may seek the good of others
and walk the joyful road of sacrifice and peace, to the praise of God the Father. Amen. *please stand if able

God Cleanses Us Prayer of Confession Our Lord and our Father, you are tremendously gracious with us. You give freely, abundantly, and open-handedly to us, your beloved children. Forgive us for the times when we do not believe this.
Forgive us when we cling to our possessions and reputations. Forgive us when we act as if your blessings to us have stopped. Forgive us for living as orphans. Now, gracious Father, enlarge our hearts to become more like yours. May we share freely, abundantly and open-handedly with others. May we be generous to those in this congregation and this city. Remake us into your image, O Lord.

Silent Confession Assurance of Grace* — adapted from Philippians 1:6

Brothers and sisters, hear these faithful words from our gracious God and Father: I, who began a good work in you, will continue my work. I will not forsake you for your rebellion, but I have forgiven your sins. I will continue to shape you into my image,
until the day that Jesus Christ returns for you! In Christ we are forgiven!
In Christ we are set free!
In Christ we are being made new. 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.

God Speaks To Us Old Testament Reading — Isaiah 55:6-11 “Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; 7 let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the LORD, that he may have compassion on him, and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways

and my thoughts than your thoughts. “For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

10

New Testament Reading — 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. 21 For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 24 Then comes the end, when he delivers the kingdom to God the Father after destroying every rule and every authority and power. 25 For he must reign until he has put all his enemies under his

feet. 26 The last enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For “God has put all things in subjection under his feet.” But when it says, “all things are put in subjection,” it is plain that he is excepted who put all things in subjection under him. 28 When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things in subjection under him, that God may be all in all.

20

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

Sermon — The Treasure and the Pearl: Kingdom Parables Reverend Dan Adamson

Sermon Text — Matthew 13:44-46 44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up. Then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

45 “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant in search of fine pearls, 46 who, on finding one pearl of great value, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

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.

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

God of eternal life,
through your Spirit in our hearts,
by the water of baptism,
and in this cup, the new covenant in your blood, we know we belong to you.
Strengthen us now by these gifts,
that we might conquer fear, sin, and death. 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.

Around Cityview THE DOCTRINE OF SALVATION APRIL 12 - MAY 10 / SUNDAY - 9:00 - 9:45AM Easter is the time of the year when we celebrate the good news that God has saved us in Christ. To celebrate this truth and to increase our Christian discipleship, we will spend five weeks during Easter reflecting on the meaning of this good news. We will ask “what is the Gospel?” and “what does it mean that God saves us in Christ?” We will examine the meaning of the doctrines of justification, sanctification, and God’s election. We will ask questions about human freedom in relation to God’s predestination, aiming to deepen our understanding of the significance of God’s salvation offered to us in Christ. SUNDAY PRAYER Join us this evening for Sunday Prayer at the new Cityview Commons (841 W Monroe) at 6:00pm. Join us as we pray for each other, the church, and the world.

Relationships

COMMUNITY GROUPS The community groups are kicking off a new 6 week study over the next few weeks, so this is a great time to check them out if you are not already involved. The groups will be using Tim Keller’s “The Reason for God,” to explore the truth of Christianity and discuss common doubts and objections to the faith. See p. 2 for details on locations. DISCOVER CITYVIEW - MEET & GREET SATURDAY, APRIL 25, 7:00 - 9:00 PM / 841 W.
