What’s Happening at Renovation City Church
SUNDAY SERMON RECAP
This week, we heard part 3 of our new sermon series in the book of Isaiah. Pastor Tim preached on Isaiah 58:1-8.
After listening to the sermon, take some time to reflect and try to talk with someone else while answering this discussion question:
What does PACE need to look like for you this week?
How is God inviting you to pray, assess, collaborate, and establis
How do you need to be reminded of God’s power to rescue you??
*please note: the sermon is up on the podcast every tuesday

OPENING LITURGY:
The Spirit of God, is on us, because God anointed us.
He sent us to preach good news to the poor, heal the heartbroken, announce freedom to captives, to pardon prisoners.
God sent us to announce the year of his favor— and God’s anger to those who oppose. To comfort all who mourn. To care for those who need in the Bronx. To give them beauty instead of ashes, joy instead of doom, reasons to praise instead of despair.
Call them Oaks of Righteousness, planted by God to display his glory. To rebuild what others ruined, To rise out of the damage. To repair the ruined cities, To take what’s left behind and renovate. It is from this place, that we worship.
GENEROSITY LITURGY:
Holy Father, there is nothing I have that You have not given me. All I have and am belong to You, bought with the blood of Jesus. To spend everything on myself, and to give without sacrifice, is the way of the world that You cannot abide.
But generosity is the way of those who call Christ their Lord. Who love Him with free hearts and serve Him with renewed minds. Who withstand the delusion of riches that chokes the word; Whose hearts are in your kingdom and not in the systems of the world.
I am determined to increase in generosity until it can be said that there is no needy person among us. I am determined to be trustworthy with such a little thing as money that You may trust me with true riches.
Above all, I am determined to be generous because You, Father, are generous. It is the delight of Your daughters and sons to share Your traits, and to show what You are like to all the world. Amen.
OUR CLOSING BLESSING:
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make his face shine upon you and fill you with grace. May the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace. And as you go, you would carry his love, seek his justice, and make his kingdom visible to all of your neighbors, especially the vulnerable and neglected. Amen.

GIVING / GENEROSITY
If you haven’t set up regular giving, would you consider setting up regular giving to Renovation City Church? We want to be a community whose generosity breeds generosity. Praise God we have been doing that already.
Any funds given will be going straight into the Church’s business account and will be stewarded and managed well by the pastors and a professional accountant.
