All My Hope

I’ve been held by the Savior
I’ve felt fire from above
I’ve been down to the river
I ain’t the same, a prodigal returned 

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood 

I’m no stranger to the prison
I’ve worn shackles and chains
But I’ve been freed and forgiven (yes I have)
I’m not going back
I’ll never be the same
That’s why I sing… 

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood 

There’s a kind of thing that just breaks a man
Break him down to his knees
God, I’ve been broken more than a time or two (yes, Lord)
Then He picked me up and showed me
What it means to be a man
Come on and sing… 

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
Yes, all my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood 

Come on and sing
All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
Yes, all my sins are forgiven
Oh, I’ve, I’ve been washed by the blood
I’ve been washed by the blood
And I’ve been washed by
The blood 

O Come to the Alter

Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling 

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ 

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today, there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes, a new life is born
Jesus is calling (oh, oh) 

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ 

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ 

Savior
What a Savior 

Oh, what a Savior
Isn’t He wonderful?
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen 

Oh, what a Savior
Isn’t He wonderful?
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing Hallelujah, Christ is risen 

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ 

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ (oh-oh) 

Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you found

“How Do You Shout Hosanna?”
Luke 19:28-40
Dr. Tim Bruster and Rev. Lance Marshall
Co-Senior Pastors

Welcome
Rev. Lance Marshall, Co-Senior Pastor

Prelude: “Festive Prelude on “St. Theodulph””
Douglas E. Wagner, arranger
Peggy Graff, organist

 Choral Call to Worship: Worthy
Combined Children’s choirs
Mark Burrows, composer
Sarah Davis, accompanist
Mark Burrows and Chris Rathburn, directors

*Call to Worship
Dr. Zhenya Gurina-Rodriguez, Associate Pastor
One: We raise our voices and wave with joyful hope the palms of deliverance of God’s people.
All: Hosanna! Hosanna to the Son of David!
One: Our hearts are filled with expectation as we welcome the coming king.
All: Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
One: We receive into the crowded streets of our lives the one who is Savior, not only of us, but of all the earth.
All: Hosanna! Hosanna in the highest heaven!

*Hymn 278: “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna”
Hosanna, loud hosanna,
the little children sang;
through pillared court and temple
the lovely anthem rang.
To Jesus, who had blessed them
close folded to his breast,
the children sang their praises,
the simplest and the best.

From Olivet they followed
mid an exultant crowd,
the victor palm branch waving,
and chanting clear and loud.
The Lord of earth and heaven
rode on in lowly state,
nor scorned that little children
should on his bidding wait.

“Hosanna in the highest!”
that ancient song we sing,
for Christ is our Redeemer,
the Lord of heaven our King.
O may we ever praise him
with heart and life and voice,
and in his blissful presence
eternally rejoice!

*Affirmation of Faith 883
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating, who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh, to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God’s presence, to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil, to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen, our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us. We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

*Gloria Patri 70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

**Please be seated

Faith Like a Child/Third Grade Bible Presentation
“Mister Mark” Burrows, Director of Children’s Ministries

The Bible Black Belts Pledge
This is the Bible – the book of God’s love.
It is full of amazing stories of faith,
amazing people of faith,
and amazing deeds of faith.
The Bible may have been written long ago,
but it has great meaning in my life today!
Its words can inspire me, comfort me, teach me,
and challenge me to be my best self – a true servant of God.
The Bible is not a weapon.
I will not throw it at anyone.
I will not use its words to hurt others
just so I can feel better about myself.
This is the Bible – the book of God’s love.

Closing Prayer
Dr. Tim Bruster, Co-Senior Pastor

*Hymn 160: “Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart”
Rejoice, ye pure in heart;
rejoice, give thanks, and sing;
your glorious banner wave on high,
the cross of Christ your King.

Refrain:
Rejoice, rejoice,
rejoice, give thanks and sing.

Your clear hosannas raise,
and alleluias loud;
whilst answering echoes upward float,
like wreaths of incense cloud. [Refrain]

Yes, on through life’s long path,
still chanting as ye go;
from youth to age, by night and day,
in gladness and in woe. [Refrain]

At last the march shall end;
the wearied ones shall rest;
the pilgrims find their heavenly home,
Jerusalem the blest. [Refrain]

Praise God who reigns on high,
the Lord whom we adore,
the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
one God forevermore. [Refrain]

Scripture: Luke 19:28-40
God speaks to us through the reading of scripture.
Thanks be to God.

gift of story
luke 19:28-40 (NRSV)
After he had spoken, he went on ahead, to Jerusalem.
When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” They said, “The Lord needs it.” Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, saying,
“Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!”
Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”

thoughts for further reflection
it is not our differences that divide us, but our inability to recognize, accept, and celebrate those differences. – audre lorde
this is our story – god is love. if we love, we are of god.
love casts out all fear. – I john 4

prejudice is a burden that confuses the past, threatens the future, and renders the present inaccessible. – maya angelou
it’s ironic how humans will sometimes run away from truth by staying exactly where they are. – shandel stewart
attention is the beginning of all devotion. – mary oliver

the deepest truth we must awaken to is that freedom is not “for” you but “from” you. – anon

palm sunday – the invitation is to awaken to the unflinchingly vulnerable, unexpectedly delightful, and ultimately life-changing interdependence of our existence.
