Order of Service:
March 15, 2026
Jesus could have come to this world as a universally acknowledged king, before whom others would bow in service and submission. Instead, he came to lay his life down for the sins of those who would spurn him. We benefit not only from his example, but most importantly, from the price he paid for our self-centeredness and self-righteousness. We gather this Sunday to remember that God is great not only because he is holy, but because he came in Christ to serve and dwell with the lowly and contrite.
“For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: ‘I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite’ ” (Isaiah 57:15, ESV).
“Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:5–11).
