Call to Worship
We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits. We know the Eternal One is still on the throne. Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One. Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely. Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!

Responsive Reading for the Month of September 2025:
Catechism – a set form of questions and answers to teach the tenets of the Christian Faith:
Question: Why was it necessary for Christ, the Redeemer, to die?
Answer: Christ died willingly in our place to deliver us from the power and penalty of sin and bring us back to God.
Question: Does Christ’s death mean all our sins can be forgiven?
Answer: Yes, because Christ’s death on the cross fully paid the penalty for our sin, God graciously imputes Christ’s righteousness to us as if it were our own and will remember our sins no more.
Question: What else does Christ’s death redeem?
Answer: Christ’s death is the beginning of the redemption and renewal of every part of fallen creation, as He powerfully directs all things for His own glory and creation’s good.
“The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Exodus 14:14 (NIV)
Sept. 14, 2025
Pastor Nestor Gomez
Text: Isaiah 43:1–13 NASB95
Title: “Fear Not, Says the Lord!”
Four gospel reasons you need never fear in this life:
1. Fear not: You belong to God — He is your Redeemer. (vv. 1–4)
2. Fear not: You are never alone — He is your Shepherd. (vv. 5–7)
3. Fear not: You are His witness — He is your Advocate. (vv. 8–10)
4. Fear not: You are His forever — He is your Sovereign Savior. (vv. 11–13)
