Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins,
in accordance with the riches of God’s grace that he lavished on us.
Therefore, I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.
—based on Ephesians 1 and Psalm 34
Prayer of Confession
Holy and Merciful Father,
forgive and cleanse us from our sin.
Restore, heal and renew.
Fill us with passion to honor you
in all we do and have been called to,
and in every area of our lives.
Give us courage we don’t possess,
to love where you love,
to serve where Christ would serve,
and to forgive as you have forgiven.
Declare your greatness and glory
through us, and in spite of our weakness,
to this world you created to be good,
Until Jesus makes all things new. Amen.
I Sing the Mighty Power of God
I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day
The moon shines full at his command
And all the stars obey
I sing the goodness of the Lord
Who filled the earth with food
Who formed the creatures with his Word
And then pronounced them good
Lord, how thy wonders are displayed
Where’er I turn my eye
If I survey the ground I tread
Or gaze upon the sky
There’s not a plant or flower below
But makes thy glories known
And clouds arise, and tempests blow
By order from thy throne
While all that borrows life from thee
Is ever in thy care
And everywhere that man can be
Thou, God art present there
Isaac Watts, altered Tune, ELLACOMBE, from Gesangbuch der Herzogl, Württemberg, 1784
Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough
You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…
More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me
More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

A Confession of Assurance
From the beginning, through all the crises of our times,
until his kingdom fully comes, God keeps covenant forever.
Our world belongs to him!
God is King! Let the earth be glad!
Christ is Victor; his rule has begun. Hallelujah!
The Spirit is at work, renewing the creation. Praise the Lord!

O God Of Our Salvation
O God of our salvation
Who reigns upon the throne
The sov’reign Father, great is he
From whom all blessings flow
O God of our salvation
From whom redemption comes
O Father, Son, and Spirit
The blessed Three in One
Behold the Son our Savior
Who for our sin was slain
The Christ, who purchased with his blood
The wretched souls of men
O God of our salvation
From whom redemption comes
O Father, Son, and Spirit
The blessed Three in One
O God, the Holy Spirit
Revealing deity
The fount of life and love divine
Throughout eternity
O God of our salvation
From whom redemption comes
O Father, Son, and Spirit
The blessed Three in One
Ascribe, O church, the greatness
And the glory due his name
One God, one King, one Essence
Our triune God proclaimed
Amen, amen
Amen, amen

Sermon
“Outside the Gate Christians, Part 2”
Acts 16:11-15
The Lord’s Supper
Come Boldly to The Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done
How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same
He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free
Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan
Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in

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
