  • Opening Prayer
  • Call To Worship – ESV Hebrews 4:14
    • 14 Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.
  • Reading – [Isaiah 43:10-19 ESV]
    • 10 “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.
    • 11 I, I am the LORD, and besides me there is no savior.
    • 12 I declared and saved and proclaimed, when there was no strange god among you; and you are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and I am God.
    • 13 Also henceforth I am he; there is none who can deliver from my hand; I work, and who can turn it back?”
    • 14 Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: “For your sake I send to Babylon and bring them all down as fugitives, even the Chaldeans, in the ships in which they rejoice.
    • 15 I am the LORD, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.”
    • 16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters,
    • 17 who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick:
    • 18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old.
    • 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.

    • 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also.
    • 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”
    • 5 Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?”
    • 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
