Call to Worship
From 1 Corinthians 15:19-22 and 1 Peter 1:4 (ESV)
If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.
But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us.
- Christ Our Hope in Life and Death by Jordan Kauflin, Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, Matt Papa, and Matthew Merker
- Take My Life and Let It Be by Frances Ridley Havergal and Henri Abraham Cesar Malan
Lament
From 34:1-22 and Psalm 42:1-11 (ESV)
My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears toward their cry.
These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me?
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me?
The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
- Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus by Helen H. Lemmel
Sermon

Benediction
- Lord from Sorrows Deep I Call by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa
- Back to Life by Ben Fielding, Brian Johnson, Chris Davenport, Phil Wickham, Reuben Morgan, and Zahriya Zachary
2 Corinthians 4:16–18 (ESV)
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
