Worship – September 7, 2014

Welcome & Announcements

 

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.
For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

—Matthew 11:28-30

 

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

 

Holy is the Lord
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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — Come To Me
Weary burdened wanderer
There is rest for thee
At the feet of Jesus
In his love so free

Listen to his message
Words of life, forever blessed
O, thou heavy laden
Come to me, come and rest

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Bring him all thy burdens
All thy guilt and sin
Mercy’s door is open
Rise up and enter

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Jesus there is waiting
Patiently for thee
Hear him gently calling
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
He will take…

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Baptisms
The children being presented for covenant baptism this morning are Elder Falconer Fauth and Herbert Antonio Fauth, covenant sons of Fred and Kim Fauth.

 

A Profession of Faith
Do you believe in God the Father?

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?

I believe in Jesus Christ, God’s only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to hell. On the third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended to heaven, he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.

Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

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.

—based on Apostles’ Creed

*‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.

 

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who o’er all things so wondrously reigneth
Shelters thee under his wings
Yea, so gently sustaineth

Hast thou not seen
How thy desires e’er have been
Granted in what he ordaineth

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Praise to the Lord
Who doth prosper thy work and defend thee
Surely his goodness and mercy
Here daily attend thee

Ponder anew
What the Almighty can do
If with his love he befriend thee

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Sermon
“Amen”
2 Corinthians 1:17-24

 

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.
For yours is the Kingdom,
and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Mercy
I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me
Where the wrath I deserve — it is gone, it has passed
Your blood has hidden me

Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity

We will lift up the cup and the bread we will break
Remembering your love
We are fallen from grace but you take all our shame
And nail it to a cross

Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity

Mercy, mercy as endless as the sea
I’ll sing your hallelujah for all eternity

May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen

May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen

May I never lose the wonder
O the wonder of your mercy
May I sing your hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen

I will kneel in the dust at the foot of the cross
Where mercy paid for me

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen
