What is the covenant renewal liturgy we use?
The covenant renewal format emphasizes renewal in the relationship we have with God. It follows the format of the Old Testament worship ceremonies as well as New Testament examples. Throughout the service, the Lord initiates and His people respond to His leading through song, responsive reading, prayer, affirmations, and discussion. The five parts of the service include: 1) The Call of God to assemble for worship, 2) Confession of sin and assurance of forgiveness, 3) Consecration through the reading and exposition of Gods word, 4) Communion also known as the Lords Supper or Eucharist, and 5) Commissioning. After calling us to His presence, cleansing us of our unrighteousness, teaching us from His word, and strengthening us through the bread and cup, the Lord sends us into the spiritual battle to fulfill His Great Commission!
