  1. Good.

  2. Good morning, [music] Key Church. How

  3. are we feeling?

  4. I [music] uh

  5. could not be more excited about all that

  6. is ahead of us this morning. And uh it's

  7. it's going to be a little bit different

  8. today. [music]

  9. Um and I'm excited to be able to share

  10. that with you a little bit later. But I

  11. want to just begin by reading scripture

  12. over us as we come into the Lord's house

  13. uh to just bring him honor and praise.

  14. And so, can we do that together? Can we

  15. read the word of God before we jump in

  16. together?

  17. [music]

  18. Psalm 100 says this,

  19. "Let the whole earth shout triumphantly

  20. to the Lord. Serve the Lord with

  21. gladness. [music]

  22. Come before him with joyful songs.

  23. Acknowledge that the Lord is God. He

  24. made us [music] and we are his, his

  25. people, the sheep of his pasture." So we

  26. enter his gates with [music]

  27. thanksgiving, his courts with praise,

  28. giving thanks and bless his name. For

  29. the Lord is good and his faithful love

  30. endures forever. [music]

  31. His faithfulness throughout all

  32. generations. So church, we lean into him

  33. this morning, [music] bringing our

  34. praise, bringing all honor to where it

  35. belongs, and that's through the name of

  36. Jesus. So we worship [music] him this

  37. morning.

  204. [music]

  205. s

  206. [music]

  207. Heat. [singing]

  208. [music]

  209. Heat.

  210. [music]

  211. [singing]

  212. >> [music]

  213. >> I just want to thank you.

  214. [music]

  215. Come on, church. Can we give God praise

  216. this morning?

  217. [music]

  218. So thankful. Hey, you guys can take a

  219. seat. Uh I want to let you guys know uh

  220. it's going to be a little bit different.

  221. I said that but at the very very top of

  222. our time together that it's going to

  223. look a little different. And so I want

  224. to give you the why behind that and then

  225. we've got a couple of things uh to walk

  226. through. But it's going to be an

  227. incredible morning. Um but if you've

  228. been around for the month of July, we've

  229. uh been walking through this collection

  230. of conversations called SA where we've

  231. been looking at individual psalms um

  232. that we've been able to walk through uh

  233. in and understanding God's faithfulness

  234. in every season and what it looks like

  235. um to just worship him in those. And so

  236. we thought that a great way to kind of

  237. close out the time in the um this

  238. collection would be to kind of gather

  239. around uh specific psalms being read and

  240. then being able to pull the songs that

  241. we have done in our time together and

  242. make put all of those things together.

  243. And so this morning is going to look a

  244. little bit different. We're going to

  245. have some uh scripture that's being read

  246. over us and then we're going to sing

  247. songs that have been written out of

  248. those inspired uh word the inspired word

  249. of God. So, it's going to be a really

  250. really cool morning. Uh we're going to

  251. celebrate communion together. We're

  252. going to walk through all of that. And

  253. uh [music] I want to just kind of tell

  254. you this. It's it there's going to be um

  255. a lot of time in worship. And I want

  256. that to be not something that you're

  257. just like, "Oh man, we're standing

  258. forever. What is going on?" Like, I

  259. don't know. This is what I would love to

  260. see. I would love to see freedom in the

  261. room. I would love to see a freedom

  262. where yes, we're standing and we've got

  263. our hands raised, but if you want to

  264. sit, [music] if you want to use your

  265. chair as an altar, if you want to come

  266. down front here and like the altar is

  267. going, it's open. It's open. This is our

  268. time to [music] sa and sa is like taking

  269. that pause, taking that breath to

  270. recognize the goodness of God, the

  271. faithfulness of God. No matter what you

  272. brought in with you this morning,

  273. God is good. [music]

  274. His plan, even if it may not feel like

  275. it in this moment, his plan is better,

  276. his purpose is higher. And so, I just

  277. want us to have freedom in the room this

  278. morning to worship,

  279. to bow before the [music] King of Kings,

  280. to honor the word, and to honor the

  281. finished work of the cross. So, can we

  282. do that together this morning, church?

  283. Is that a is that an okay thing? [music]

  284. And I wanted to kind of share all of

  285. that because if you are if this is your

  286. very first time here at Key Church,

  287. number one, we're glad that you're here.

  288. But I also didn't want you to walk in

  289. and go, "These guys are weird." Like,

  290. "What is going on? We are standing for

  291. an [music] entire thing." But um but if

  292. you are here for the very first time, I

  293. would love to just welcome you. And if

  294. you would be so bold, anybody here for

  295. the first time, you're willing to just

  296. like lift. Hey, we got some first-

  297. timers. [music] Yeah, let's give them a

  298. hand. So glad that you're here.

  299. But that's why I told you ahead of time.

  300. So, this is not a normal gathering for

  301. us, but we feel like today is going to

  302. be powerful. But if this [music] is your

  303. very first time, um, we would love the

  304. opportunity to connect with you. And the

  305. way that we can do that together is if

  306. you text [music] the word guest to that

  307. number that you see there on the screen,

  308. 50321.

  309. Um, or if there's a seat in front of

  310. you, you [music] can tap the back of the

  311. seat, the little circle, and that will

  312. take you to that online form. It's just

  313. so we can have a chance to connect with

  314. you. you can ask questions about what it

  315. is to be here at key [music] be here at

  316. Key Church and just an opportunity for

  317. us to serve you better. And so whether

  318. you're in the room for the [music] first

  319. time or online, we want you to know that

  320. we are so so thankful that you have

  321. chosen to be here with us uh at KeyCurch

  322. [music] this morning. It's going to be

  323. an awesome day. And if you've been

  324. around for Key Church a little bit and

  325. you've kind of wondered what it would

  326. look like to maybe go a little deeper

  327. into all that God has here, there

  328. [music] is something called NextStep

  329. Sunday and that's coming up on August

  330. the 2nd. You can uh [music] hit that QR

  331. code there on the screen or the circle

  332. in in the seat back in front of you. The

  333. tap feature [music] works for that as

  334. well. It's more information about how

  335. you can register and get signed up for

  336. what is next step Sunday where it's all

  337. in. It's where you learn how what it

  338. looks like to be all in on what God is

  339. doing [music] here and to uh be a part

  340. of the story that he is writing here in

  341. this place. So, all of that sound good?

  342. We good, church? So, as we move forward,

  343. [music]

  344. as we move forward, like I said, today's

  345. going to look a little different, but I

  346. want to just [music] we want to pause

  347. and and have a moment to just bring

  348. together. And uh if if you're not

  349. familiar with like our language around

  350. that, we say bringing instead of what

  351. would maybe traditionally be giving or

  352. maybe even tithes and offering. And we

  353. believe here at Key Church that

  354. bringing, giving, all of the that's a

  355. part of our worship. And so it's not a

  356. disconnected portion of our life as we

  357. follow Jesus. It's a part of how we live

  358. out a life of worship. [music] And so I

  359. want to read a passage of scripture and

  360. then I'll explain even more why we use

  361. that word bringing [music] versus what

  362. you may traditionally know as giving and

  363. tithes and offerings. But I want to read

  364. a passage out of Psalm 24 [music]

  365. and it's verse one. And it says this.

  366. It says the earth and everything in it,

  367. the world and its inhabitants, they

  368. belong to the Lord.

  369. And so [music] re reading that is an is

  370. a reminder that everything belongs to

  371. him. There is nothing [music] that we

  372. have ownership of. There's nothing

  373. created that we have ownership [music]

  374. of. He owns it all. The word goes on to

  375. say that he owns the cattle on a

  376. thousand hills. So [music] when we we

  377. here at Key Church use the word

  378. bringing, we use it because everything

  379. belongs to God. And so we say when with

  380. our time, [music] with our talent, with

  381. our treasures, with our finances, we

  382. bring that back to him because he has

  383. [music] entrusted it to us. Yes. But out

  384. of obedience and out of worship and

  385. reverence for who he [music] is, we

  386. bring it back to him because it belongs

  387. to him anyway. And so what we want to do

  388. is just here in these next few moments,

  389. the band is just going to groove. And we

  390. just want to have a time of reflection

  391. [music] on what it looks like to walk in

  392. step with Christ as we pursue him, to be

  393. more like him day in and day out.

  394. [music] And what does it look like for

  395. us to to bring to God, to bring an

  396. offering of worship and honor him with

  397. not just our time and our talent, but

  398. our finances and [music] our treasures.

  399. And so we're going to take a moment and

  400. just do that together. And then we're

  401. going to continue in worship. Sound

  402. good, [music] church? Whoa. Whoa. One

  403. more time. Does that sound good, church?

  404. All right. So, let's let's worship

  405. through our bringing in just a moment.

  406. [music]

  407. >> [music]

  408. [music]

  409. >> Psalm 23. [music]

  410. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not

  411. want. He makes me lie down in green

  412. pastures. [music] He leads me beside

  413. still waters. He restores my soul. He

  414. leads me in the paths of righteousness

  415. for his name's sake. Even though I walk

  416. through the valley of the shadow of

  417. death, I will fear no evil. For you are

  418. with me. Your rod and your staff, they

  419. comfort [music] me. You prepare a table

  420. before me in the presence of my enemies.

  421. You anoint my head with oil. My cup

  422. overflows. Surely goodness and mercy

  423. shall follow me all the days of my life,

  424. and I shall dwell in the house of the

  425. Lord forever.

  426. Fore!

  427. [music]

  428. Foreign! Foreign!

  435. >> [music]

  436. [music]

  437. >> Das.

  438. >> [music]

  439. [music]

  440. >> The Lord is my shepher. ever.

  441. And he is [music and singing] everything

  442. I need. I will not worry.

  443. I will not fear [music] the enemy. He

  444. said that he loves me.

  445. He [music] said that he's with me even

  446. though I walk through the

  447. [music and singing] valley

  448. of shadow and death. And still I know he

  449. has [music]

  450. good. Come on church. He has

  451. [music]

  452. for me.

  453. So I Yeah.

  454. [music] He has

  455. [music]

  456. so good. I know my father. I know

  457. [music] my father

  458. good plans.

  459. He has [music] good plans.

  460. Your way is higher.

  461. [music]

  462. So the Lord,

  463. the Lord is my [music] savior.

  464. So why should I doubt my major?

  465. >> [music]

  466. >> Why would I question

  467. the rod and the staff that comforts me?

  468. He quiets the water. [music]

  469. He quiets the storm inside.

  470. So what could [music] be better

  471. than walking with him when I believe he

  472. has good things. [music]

  473. He has good things for me. [music]

  474. I will take

  475. God.

  476. He has [music]

  477. good things. He has good

  478. for me. [music]

  611. Psalm 84. How lovely is your dwelling

  612. place, oh Lord of hosts. My soul longs,

  613. yes, faints, for the courts of the Lord.

  614. My heart and flesh sing for joy to the

  615. living God. Even the sparrow finds a

  616. home in the swallow a nest for herself

  617. where [music] she may lay her young at

  618. your altars. Oh Lord of hosts, my king

  619. and my God. [music] Blessed are those

  620. who dwell in your house, ever singing

  621. your praise. Blessed are those whose

  622. strength is in you and whose hearts are

  623. the highways to Zion. As they go through

  624. the valley of [music] Ba, they make it a

  625. place of springs. The early rain also

  626. covers it with pools. They go from

  627. strength to strength. Each one appears

  628. before God in Zion. Oh Lord God of

  629. hosts, hear my prayer. [music] Give ear,

  630. oh God of Jacob. Behold our shield, oh

  631. God. Look on the face of your anointed.

  632. For a day in your courts is better

  633. [music] than a thousand elsewhere. I

  634. would rather be a doorkeeper in the

  635. house of my God than dwell in the tents

  636. of wickedness. For the Lord God is a son

  637. and shield. [music] The Lord bestows

  638. favor and honor. No good thing does he

  639. withhold from those who walk uprightly.

  640. Oh Lord of hosts, blessed is the one who

  646. There is a shelter

  647. when there's [music] nowhere to run.

  648. There is a covering

  759. In your courts

  760. I find for my soul.

  761. And I [music] have a hope in the house

  762. of the Lord. [music]

  763. Psalm

  764. 104.

  765. Bless the Lord, oh my soul. Oh Lord, my

  766. God, you are very great. You are clothed

  767. with splendor and majesty, covering

  768. yourself with [music] light as with a

  769. garment, stretching out the heavens like

  770. a tent. He lays the beams of his

  771. chambers on [music] the waters. He makes

  772. the clouds his chariot. He rides on the

  773. wings of the wind. [music] He makes his

  774. messengers winds, his ministers a

  775. flaming fire. He set the earth on its

  776. foundations so that it should never be

  777. moved. You covered it with the deep as

  778. with a [music] garment. The waters stood

  779. above the mountains. At your rebuke they

  780. fled. At the sound of your thunder, they

  781. took to flight. [music] The mountains

  782. rose, the valley sank down to the place

  783. that you appointed for them. You set a

  784. boundary that they may not pass, so that

  785. they might not again cover [music] the

  786. earth. You make springs gush forth in

  787. the valleys. They flow between the

  788. hills. They give drink to every beast

  789. [music] of the field. The wild donkeys

  790. quench their thirst. Beside them, the

  791. birds of the heavens dwell. [music] They

  792. sing among the branches. From your lofty

  793. abode, you water the mountains. [music]

  794. The earth is satisfied with the fruit of

  795. your work. You cause the grass to grow

  796. for the livestock and plants for man to

  797. cultivate [music] that he may bring

  798. forth food from the earth and wine to

  799. gladden the heart of man. Oil to make

  800. his face shine and bread to strengthen

  801. man's heart. [music] The trees of the

  802. Lord are watered abundantly. The cedars

  803. of Lebanon that he planted in them the

  804. birds build their nests. The stork has

  805. her home in the fur trees. The high

  806. mountains are for the wild goats. The

  807. rocks [music] are a refuge for the rock

  808. badgers. He made the moon to mark the

  809. seasons. The sun knows it's time for

  810. setting. You make darkness and it is

  811. night. When all the beasts of the forest

  812. creep about. The young lions roar for

  813. their prey, seeking [music] their food

  814. from God. When the sun rises, they steal

  815. away and lie down in their dens. [music]

  816. Man goes out to his work and to his

  817. labor until the evening. Oh Lord, how

  818. manifold are your works. In wisdom you

  819. have made them all. The earth is full of

  820. your creatures. [music] Here is the sea,

  821. great and wide, which teams with

  822. creatures innumerable, living things

  823. both small and great. There go the ships

  824. and Leviathan, which you formed to play

  825. in it. These all look to you [music] to

  826. give them their food in due season. When

  827. you give it to them, they gather it up.

  828. When you open your hand, they are filled

  829. with good things. [music] When you hide

  830. your face, they are dismayed. When you

  831. take away their breath, they die and

  832. return to their [music] dust. When you

  833. send forth your spirit, they are created

  834. and you renew the face of the ground.

  835. May the glory of the Lord endure [music]

  836. forever. May the Lord rejoice in his

  837. works. Who looks on the earth and it

  838. trembles. Who touches the mountains and

  839. they [music] smoke. I will sing to the

  840. Lord as long as I live. I will sing

  841. praise to my God while I have being. May

  842. my meditation be pleasing to him, for I

  843. rejoice in the Lord. [music]

  844. Let sinners be consumed from the earth

  845. and let the wicked be no more. Bless the

  846. Lord, oh my soul. Praise the Lord.

  847. [music]

  848. >> [music]

  849. >> There is one on the throne.

  850. Jesus

  868. was slain and seated on the floor.

  869. There's no one like the Lord. [music]

  870. The elders

  871. creatures

  872. bow giving praise to him and him alone.

  873. There's no one like the Lord. [music]

  874. There is one on the cross. [music]

  875. Jesus

  876. is holy.

  877. Yeah, [music]

  878. he's worthy of praise.

  879. See, [music] worthy

  956. [music] You'll always be

  959. [music]

  960. Yes, Lord.

  961. You'll always [singing]

  962. be [music]

  963. holy,

  964. holy.

  965. [music]

  966. Yeah. Oh, there we go. Hi. We're going

  967. to take communion right now. You can go

  968. ahead and grab a seat.

  969. If you [music] do not have the elements,

  970. you can raise your hand and someone

  971. would be happy to get that to you.

  972. When we take communion together, this

  973. really is an opportunity for us to

  974. remember three different things. One of

  975. those is to remember the past. We

  976. remember that Jesus lived and died. We

  977. remember the grace. We remember that he

  978. happened thousands of years ago. What he

  979. was born and that we find grace through

  980. his death and resurrection. We remember

  981. even right now we think about the

  982. present. [music]

  983. We think about in a room like this that

  984. we are all united as one body of

  985. believers. But not only are we united,

  986. but that we're united throughout history

  987. of believers. thousands of years,

  988. billions of believers throughout history

  989. that have joined us and do done the same

  990. things that we're celebrating now. And

  991. we think about the future and the hope

  992. that we have that Jesus will return,

  993. that one day he will come back, that all

  994. things will be made whole and right

  995. through his return, that we will be made

  996. whole through him. And so I'm going to

  997. read from 1 Corinthians 11 and then

  998. we'll take communion together. It says

  999. in verse 23, "For I received from the

  1000. Lord what I also delivered to you, that

  1001. the Lord Jesus on the night when he was

  1002. betrayed, took bread, and when he had

  1003. given thanks, he broke it and said,

  1004. "This is my body which is for you. Do

  1005. this in remembrance of me." Right now,

  1006. we're going to take the bread together

  1007. and pause to remember

  1008. >> [music]

  1009. [music]

  1010. >> Jesus, as we remember,

  1011. we remember your body. The fact that you

  1012. uh authored yourself into this story,

  1013. that you lived amongst us, you showed us

  1014. what a perfect life could be, that you

  1015. died for us, that you resurrected for

  1016. us, that you love us enough to be here.

  1017. What a joy it is to [music] to read your

  1018. word and see how you lived amongst all

  1019. of us.

  1020. Jesus, we are so grateful and we [music]

  1021. pray this in your name. Amen.

  1022. Well, it goes on and says,

  1023. in the same way, he also took the cup

  1024. after supper, saying, this cup is the

  1025. new covenant of my blood. Do this as

  1026. often as you drink it in remembrance

  1027. [music]

  1028. of me.

  1029. So, why don't we take this cup together

  1030. and reflect

  1031. >> [music]

  1032. [music]

  1033. >> Jesus, we're reminded that

  1034. your grace is not cheap,

  1035. that you shed your blood. You say,

  1036. [music] "What perfect love is this?"

  1037. that someone would lay down their life

  1038. for their friends. You call us friends.

  1039. [music] You willingly and gladly laid

  1040. down, were beaten,

  1041. were crucified,

  1042. experienced anguish and pain because you

  1043. loved us that much. You willingly and

  1044. gladly laid it down for each of us to

  1045. cover our sins so that we would get an

  1046. [music] eternity with you in heaven.

  1047. Jesus, we are so grateful.

  1048. We are so grateful for who you are, for

  1049. what you [music] did, what you were

  1050. willing to endure for each one of us.

  1051. Thank [music] you. Thank you. Thank you.

  1052. In your name we pray. Amen. In verse 26,

  1053. [music] it says, "For as often as you

  1054. eat this bread and drink this cup, you

  1055. proclaim the Lord's death until he

  1056. comes." And right now, we're going to

  1057. stand together. We're going to proclaim

  1058. the Lord's death until he comes. We're

  1059. going to sing these last two songs

  1060. [music] together and worship and say,

  1061. "A." And so, I'm going to invite you,

  1062. why don't you stand with me and stay

  1063. where you are and worship through these

  1064. last two songs what God has done and

  1065. what Jesus has done for us.

  1066. >> [music]

  1067. [music]

  1068. >> Blood [singing] of Christ,

  1069. [music]

  1070. wash over me,

  1071. wash over [music and singing] me.

  1072. Though sin has stained me. [music] The

  1218. [music]

  1219. Like I said at the beginning of [music]

  1220. our time, I know today is different, but

  1221. I think there's something unique and

  1222. beautiful when the [music] church comes

  1223. together and can read truth and then can

  1224. sing truth and then our hope is that you

  1225. [music] carry truth with you. So I hope

  1226. and our prayer has been that today is

  1227. refreshing and that today [music] you

  1228. would be challenged in how we live our

  1229. lives and that we would live out

  1230. understanding all the things that we've

  1231. been able to sing, all the things that

  1232. we've been able to to read [music] in

  1233. God's faithfulness, the finished work of

  1234. the cross and all that that does to

  1235. bring us into [music] life and having

  1236. relationship with Jesus. And so I I will

  1237. I do know that like [music] with this

  1238. amount of people in a room that there's

  1239. probably someone who has a prayer need

  1240. or someone just you want to talk to

  1241. someone. [music] Uh my my encouragement

  1242. is to not just leave

  1243. but like make your way down towards

  1244. [music] the front here and our prayer

  1245. team and we've got some of our pastors

  1246. and elders and leaders down here ready

  1247. [music] to meet with you, ready to pray

  1248. with you and ready to walk with whatever

  1249. the Lord is stirring up in you. But our

  1250. prayer is that this has been amazing.

  1251. that this has been an awesome time

  1252. [music] just in the word and in the

  1253. presence of God. And so be encouraged.

  1254. Go live scent as the church. We love you

  1255. guys.
