God speaks through music! Our incredible music team works hard every week to help us focus our hearts on God, usher us into His presence, and lead us as we worship Him! But that song in our heart does not have to stop playing on Sunday. Follow along throughout the week on FBC Forest Park Radio. Click the link below for our custom playlist.

Call to Worship

We offer a song of praise celebrating who God is and all He has done!

• Battle Belongs

Welcome and Announcements 

Visit The Leaf so you can keep us with all the things to know and our Church Calendar to see all that's happening at FBC Forest Park .

Prayer of Illumination 

We invite the Holy Spirit to minister to each of us as He intercedes on our behalf, corrects and encourages us in our relationship with The Father through The Son, and illuminates God’s word in our hearts through the reading and teaching of Scripture. 

Song of Adoration and Thanksgiving

We sing songs that extol God’s grace and truth, strengthen our faith, and encourage our love for Him and others. 

• If The Lords Builds The House

Reading of the Law

• Romans 2:9-10
• There will be trouble and calamity for everyone who keeps on doing what is evil. But there will be glory and honor and peace from God for all who do good.

Confession of Sin - Song

God’s holiness exposes our corporate and individual sins. God's grace, displayed most prominently through Jesus’ death on the cross, invites us to be reunited with The Father through the regular confession of sin. Repentance is an invitation into His grace. 

• Trust In God

Offering of Forgiveness and Reconciliation

We recognize our sins were forgiven by Christ’s death on the cross and, therefore, we are called by God to forgive others who sin against us. We offer others our forgiveness and pray for reconciled relationships.

• 1 Peter 3:9
• Don’t repay evil for evil. Don’t retaliate with insults when people insult you. Instead, pay them back with a blessing. That is what God has called you to do, and he will grant you his blessing. 

Offering of Forgiveness and Reconciliation - Song

• I Surrender All

Personal Prayer

We pause to pray and reflect on all God has revealed to us through worship, the reading of His word, and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. We prayerfully respond with courage, honesty, and obedience.

Assurance of Pardon

God declares from his Word and through his Church that all who repent and believe in Jesus Christ are forgiven of their sins.

• Romans 1:16
• For I am not ashamed of this Good News about Christ. It is the power of God at work, saving everyone who believes!

Family Prayer

We intercede before God on behalf of our church and our community. 

Children’s Sermon

All children through 5th grade are invited to meet at the front steps for a special message. After the Children’s Sermon the kids will be dismissed to Children’s Church.

Scripture Reading and Sermon

God addresses His people through the reading and preaching of His word to edify believers and exhort all people to make sense of, make much of, and make use of the Good News of Jesus Christ. 

Offertory and Response

We offer an opportunity for you to make public your decision to follow Jesus, your desire to be baptized, your interest in joining our church, or any other significant spiritual decision you have made during our service. 

We also give back to God recognizing He is the source of all things and blesses us through His providence and sovereignty. It is our honor to return our tithes and offerings to Him in recognition of His grace.
