Call to Worship
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me,
for I am gentle and lowly in heart,
and you will find rest for your souls.
—Matthew 11:28-29 (ESV)
O For a Thousand
O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace
Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace
He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name
Charles Wesley, 1739. Tune, AZMON, Carl G. Glaser, 1784-1829; adapt. Lowell Mason, 1839
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

The Affirmation of Faith and Assurance
If God is for us, who can be against us?
He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen?
It is God who justifies.
Who then is the one who condemns?
No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
—Romans 8:31-39 (NIV)
God You Reign
You paint the night
You count the stars
And you call them by name
The skies proclaim, ‘God you reign’
Your glory shines
You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, ‘God you reign’
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’
You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

Sermon
“Released & Unleashed”
Acts 4:23-31
Prayer of Confession
Sovereign God and Loving Father,
You have entered into our brokenness,
By sending your Son.
And therefore, out of evil you intend good.
Out of suffering you offer hope.
Out of loss you cause gain.
Out of death you bring life.
So take our imperfect and often weary lives,
And redeem them for your sake.
Cause the renewing power of the gospel,
To flow to those we love, and to our wounded world,
That you created to be good. Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Nothing But the Blood
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
William Doane /Robert Lowry Biglow & Main, 1876 CCLI 241710
