Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
May God be gracious to us and bless us
and make his face to shine upon us,
that your way may be known on earth,
your saving power among all nations.

Let the peoples praise you, O God;
let all the peoples praise you!

—Psalm 67:1-3

 

O the Deep, Deep, Love of Jesus
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me

Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread his praise from shore to shore
How he loveth, ever loveth
Changeth never, never more

How he watches o’er his loved ones
Died to call them all his own
How for them he intercedeth
Watcheth o’er them from the throne

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Love of every love the best
’Tis an ocean vast of blessing
‘Tis a haven sweet of rest

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to thee

Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above

King of Glory
Lift up your gaze, be lifted up
Tell everyone how great the love
The love come down from heaven’s gate
To kiss the earth with hope and grace

Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty

Lift up your hands, be lifted up
Let the redeemed declare the love
We bow down at heaven’s gate
To kiss the feet of hope and grace

Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty

There is one God, he is holy
There is one Lord over everything
There is one King, he is Jesus
King of glory, strong and mighty

You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty

You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty
You are the King of glory
The Lord, strong and mighty

A Statement of Faith
We believe in the Holy Spirit,
the pledge of God’s coming reign,
who gives the Church power
to proclaim the Good News to all the world,
to love and serve all people,
to strive for justice and peace
to warn the individual and the nation of God’s judgment
and to summon them both to repent
and trust and obey Jesus Christ
as the one King who will come again in glory.

—Adapted from the A Declaration of Faith for the Church in South Africa (1986)

Sermon
“Wake Up! The Toxin of Christian Indifference”
Jonah 1:1-6

 

Prayer of Confession
‘Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity
and passing over transgression?’
‘You do not remain angry forever,
because you delight in steadfast love.’
Be merciful and forgive our sin, Father.
Thank you for the atoning sacrifice of Christ,
who died on our behalf and bore our sin,
that we might be reconciled to you.
Give us hearts of gratitude that embody
the gospel to one another and the world
that you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

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

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
