Order of Service - September 13, 2026
We're a new church here on the Northshore committed to being a loving community that's shaped by the work of Jesus and joining his mission in the renewal of all things. Whethere you're a Chrisitian or simply curious and exploring what it means to believe in Jesus, we hope this brief worship guide will help you follow along and participate in today's service.
If there's any way our church can serve you, questions we can try to answer, or if you just need prayer, please you the Connect Card button to share whatever details you're comfortable with.
We invite you to reflect on this selection of quotes as we prepare our hearts and minds for worship.
“Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.”
“You have made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You.”
All My Boast Is In Jesus
Keith & Kristyn Getty, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa
What wonder of wonders, what love is this
That Christ would die for me
His goodness, His merit, His righteousness
This sinner's only plea
O foolish pride, be crucified
The work is finished
All my boast is in Jesus
All my hope is His love
And I will glory forever
In what the cross has done
Now fully forgiven, my life is filled
With graces undeserved
For mercy that flowed down that sacred hill
Let praises now return
Rise up, my soul, and bless the Lord
Who else is worthy?
All my boast is in Jesus
All my hope is His love
And I will glory forever
In what the cross has done
O praise the One forever blessed
Him alone my heart adores
And I will boast in nothing less
Than the love of Christ, my Lord
O praise the One forever blessed
Him alone my heart adores
Oh, and I will boast in nothing less
Than the love of Christ, my Lord
I boast not in riches, in strength, or might
But in the grace of God
I glory in weakness, to live is Christ
In plenty or in want
That I may know, that all may see
His pow'r within me
All my boast is in Jesus
All my hope is His love
And I will glory forever
In what the cross has done
Now I stand in this freedom
Ransomed, clean in His sight
Oh, and I cannot be ashamed for
My boast is Jesus Christ
My boast is Jesus Christ
Forever my boast is Jesus Christ
Each one of us has come today carrying different burdens and anxieties, which might make it challenges to focus on the God and his Word. Here at the beginning of our worship service, we take a few moments to read a Psalm together, meditating on who God is, and praying through his attributes that we find in the passage. Tap on the tabs below as we read together and spend a few moments in a guided time of praying in reverence, response, requests, and readiness.
131 A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Based on the attributes of God we see in this Psalm, close your eyes and complete these sentences as you pray in your heart to him:
First, we come to him in reverence. Finish this sentence in your prayer right now: “I praise you that you alone are able to make sense of …”
Next, we move to our response to the goodness we see of God as we surrender to him and his ways. Finish this sentence as you continue to pray: “Forgive me for taking so long to trust you with …”
Now, we present our requests to God, asking his Spirit to guide our prayers over the concerns we have. Once again, finish this sentence in prayer: “Enable me to hope in you so deeply that I no longer worry about …”
Finally we ask for readiness and strength as we continue to live for Jesus. As we close this time, spend the next few moments finishing this last sentence in prayer: "I am determined to surrender and let you have your way today as I ..."

For my waking breath
For my daily bread
I depend on You
I depend on You
For the sun to rise
For my sleep at night
I depend on You
Yes I depend on You
You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that never runs dry

Draw me close and teach me to abide

For the victories
Still in front of mе
I depend on You

You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that will never run dry

Draw me close and teach me to abide
Be my strength, my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure my prize
I am Yours, forever You’re mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide
When I pass through death
As I enter rest
I depend on You
I depend on You
For eternal life
To be raised with Christ
I depend on You
I depend on You
16 When evening came, his disciples went down to the sea, 17 got into a boat, and started across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them. 18 The sea became rough because a strong wind was blowing. 19 When they had rowed about three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and coming near the boat, and they were frightened. 20 But he said to them, “It is I; do not be afraid.” 21 Then they were glad to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.
Each week we pray for one of the churches or ministries that we get to serve alongside as part of the Northshore Gospel Network (NGN). We helped start NGN in August 2025 with a mission to provide encouragement, support, and collaboration among churches in multiple denominations as we share the good news of Jesus with every man, woman, and child across the Northshore.
Having looked into the Scriptures and considering Jesus, we are led to respond to who he is and what he has done. Below are three common areas of response
Are you interested in placing your faith in Jesus as a new believer? Proclaiming your faith through baptism? Do you have questions or things you would like to meet with a pastor and discuss? You can come talk to a pastor during our time of response, take a minute to speak after the service, or fill out the Connect Card at the link below, and we'll follow up with you this week.
One of the ways we respond to the preaching of Scripture most weeks is by celebrating communion (also known as the Lord's Supper). During this time of response, all followers of Jesus are invited to come forward to the table on either side of the room and take one cup that has both the bread and juice, representing the body of Christ broken for us and the blood of Christ shed for us. We partake of the meal to remember our ongoing need for a Savior, our overflowing provision through Christ, and to be spiritually nourished by him through his Holy Spirit.
*This meal is only for those who have repented of their sin and placed their faith in the finished work of Jesus. If you are still exploring faith and are not a Christian, then we encourage you to spend this time in prayer, continuing to read Scripture, or joining our church in singing.
One of the ways we respond to Christ giving himself for us is that we also give through his church. Giving is meant to be an act of worship because of what God's grace, not a legalistic way we earn God's grace. If you consider Restoration your church home, then you are welcome to give by placing your offering in the designated box in the lobby or online through the link below.
Jesus is Better
The Austin Stone
There is no other so sure and steady
My hope is held in Your hand
When castles crumble and breath is fleeting
Upon this rock I will stand
Upon this rock I will stand
Glory glory we have no other King
But Jesus Lord of all
We raise the anthem our loudest praises ring
We crown Him Lord of all
Your kindly rule has shattered and broken
The curse of sin's tyranny
My life is hidden 'neath Heaven's shadow
Your crimson flood covers me
Your crimson flood covers me
Glory glory we have no other King
But Jesus Lord of all
We raise the anthem our loudest praises ring
We crown Him Lord of all
In all my sorrows Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
In ev'ry vict'ry Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
Than any comfort Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
More than all riches Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
And our souls declaring Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
And our song eternal Jesus is better
Make my heart believe
Glory glory we have no other King
But Jesus Lord of all
Glory glory we have no other King
But Jesus Lord of all
We raise the anthem our loudest praises ring
We crown Him Lord of all
We crown Him Lord of all
