Call to Worship
Hallelujah! We will praise the Lord as long as we live!
Happy are those who have the God of Israel as their helper,
whose hope is in the Lord their God.
He is the one who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and everything in them.
Hallelujah! We will praise the Lord as long as we live!
He is the one who keeps every promise forever,
who gives justice to the oppressed,
and food to the hungry.
Hallelujah! We will praise the Lord as long as we live!
The Lord frees the prisoners.
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord lifts the burdens of those bent beneath their loads.
The Lord loves the righteous.
Hallelujah! We will praise the Lord as long as we live!
—Psalm 146:2a, 5-8
Prayer of Confession — We Will Run
Create in me a clean heart,
For I have turned my face from you
Save us from our ways O God, O God
For we have turned away from you
Lord have mercy
We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world
Make all things new
Make all things new
Your love and mercy build and shape us
Break us and recreate us now
Lord have mercy
We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world
Make all things new
Make all things new
(repeat)
O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you
O, bring us back to you
We will run to you, we will run to you
Turning from our sin we return to you
Father heal your world
Make all things new
Make all things new

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day
All thy works with joy surround thee
Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around thee
Center of unbroken praise
Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in thee
Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest
Thou our Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine
Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life
Henry van Dyke, Tune HYMN TO JOY, Ludwig van Beethoven; melody from “Ninth Symphony”; adapted by Edward Hodges, CCLI 241710
O Praise Him
Turn your ear to Heaven
And hear the noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs
And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King
How constant, how divine
This song of ours will rise
O, how constant how divine
This love of ours will rise, will rise…
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
Turn your gaze to Heaven
And raise a joyous noise
The sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a King
Angels join to sing
All for Christ our King
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)
How infinite and sweet
This love so rescuing
O, how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing…
Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)

Confession of Faith
What does it benefit us to know that God has created all things and still upholds them by his providence?
We can be patient in adversity, thankful in prosperity,
and with a view to the future we can have a firm confidence
in our faithful God and Father
that no creature shall separate us from his love;
for all creatures are so completely in his hand that without his will they cannot so much as move.
—from The Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 28

Sermon
“Our Dangerous Selves”
Philippians 2:1-11
The Lord’s Supper
Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood his mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior, has ransomed me
And like a flood his mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
(repeat)
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

The Apostles’ Creed (for reflection)
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen
Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
