Call to Worship
Come and worship Christ,
the visible image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of creation,
the eternal God,
the one through whom all things were created,
and in whom all things are held together.
This is our God!
Let’s worship together.
—based on Colossians 1:15-17
How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In his excellent Word
What more can he say
Than to you he hath said
To you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled
Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous
Omnipotent hand
When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of woe
Shall not thee overflow
For I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress
When through fiery trials
Thy pathways shall lie
My grace, all sufficient
Shall be thy supply
The flame shall not hurt thee
I only design
Thy dross to consume
And thy gold to refine
The soul that on Jesus
Hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to its foes
That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never
No never forsake
John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt. Tune, FOUNDATION, American folk hymn
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship him now
How great, how awesome is he
And together we sing, everyone sing
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory
We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our strength
We bow down and worship him now
How great, how awesome is he
And together we sing, everyone sing
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory
It is rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown
It is rising up all around
It’s the anthem of the Lord’s renown
And together we sing, everyone sing
And together we sing, everyone sing
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
Holy is the Lord God almighty
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory
The earth is filled with his glory

A Confession of the Church
I believe that the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
who out of nothing created heaven and earth
and everything in them,
who still upholds and rules them
by his eternal counsel and providence,
is my God and Father
because of Christ his Son.
I trust him so much that I do not doubt
he will provide whatever I need
for body and soul,
and He will turn to my good
whatever adversity he sends me
in this sad world.
He is able to do this because he is almighty God;
he desires to do this because he is a faithful Father.
—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 26
How Great is Our God
The splendor of a King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice
And trembles at his voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age he stands
And time is in his hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Sermon
“Your Father”
Matthew 6:5-9
Prayer of Confession
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
The Lord’s Supper
Holy
What heart could hold the weight of your love
And know the heights of your great worth
What eyes could look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Your name alone has pow’r to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
And you will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like you, God
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Who shall we say you are?
You’re the living God
Who shall we say you are?
You’re the Great I AM
The highest name of all
You’re all you say you are
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
