Call to Worship

 

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Zion, city of our God
He, whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for his own abode

On the Rock of Ages founded
What can shake thy sure repose
With salvation’s walls surrounded
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes

See, the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove

Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which like the Lord, the giver
Never fails from age to age

Blest inhabitants of Zion
Washed in our Redeemer’s blood
Jesus, whom our souls rely on
Makes us monarchs, priests to God

Us, by his great love, he raises
Rulers over self to reign
And as priests his solemn praises
We for thankful offering bring

Savior, if of Zion’s city
I through grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in thy name

Fading is the worldling’s pleasure
All his boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know

John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779 Tune, AUSTRIA arr. Franz J. Haydn, 1797, possibly from a Croatian folk melody) CCLI 241710

 

A Responsive Reading
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts. For the word of the LORD is upright, and all his work is done in faithfulness.

He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; he puts the deeps in storehouses.

Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him! For he spoke, and it came to be; he commanded, and it stood firm.

—Psalm 33:3-9 (ESV)

 

O Praise Him
Turn your ear to Heaven
And hear the noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs

And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King

How constant, how divine
This song of ours will rise
O, how constant how divine
This love of ours will rise, will rise…

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

Turn your gaze to Heaven
And raise a joyous noise
The sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones

And all this for a King
Angels join to sing
All for Christ our King

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)

How infinite and sweet
This love so rescuing
O, how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing…

Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
(repeat)

The Apostles’ Creed
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.

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

 

This I Believe (The Creed)
Our Father everlasting
The all creating One
God almighty

Through your Holy Spirit
Conceiving Christ the Son
Jesus our savior

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Our Judge and our Defender
Suffered and crucified
Forgiveness is in you

Descended into darkness
You rose in glorious life
Forever seated high

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I believe in you
I believe you rose again
I believe that Jesus Christ is Lord

I believe in life eternal
I believe in the virgin birth
I believe in the saints’ communion
And in your holy Church

I believe in the resurrection
When Jesus comes again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

I believe in God our Father
I believe in Christ the Son
I believe in the Holy Spirit
Our God is Three in One

I believe in the resurrection
That we will rise again
For I believe in the name of Jesus

Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is he
Sing a new song to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor
Strength and glory and power be
To you the only wise King

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous myst’ry…

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Sermon
“Arise or Flee, Redux – Rediscovering & Obeying God’s Word”
Jonah 2:10-3:4

 

Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven,
you are the Giver of all grace,
and your love endures forever.
Be merciful to us and forgive.
Our sins are too great for us to bear.
You have made us your children,
but we act like orphans.
Cause the tenderness of Christ,
that will not snuff out a smoldering wick,
or break a bent reed,
to fill our hearts and minds,
and draw us back to you.
Renew in us a steadfast spirit.
And break our hearts for this broken world,
that you will one day make new.
Through Jesus. Amen

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

The Wonderful Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

See from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live

O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
Bids me come and die
And find that I may truly live

O the wonderful cross
O the wonderful cross
All who gather here
By grace draw near and bless your name

When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

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

Call to Worship
I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever;
with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.
Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.

—Psalm 89:1, 5 (NRSV)

 

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting
O, hell, where is your victory
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

A Confession of God’s Faithfulness
What does it benefit us to know that God has created all things and still upholds them by his providence?

We can be patient in adversity, thankful in prosperity,
and with a view to the future we can have a firm confidence
in our faithful God and Father
that no creature shall separate us from his love;
for all creatures are so completely in his hand
that without his will
they cannot so much as move.

—from The Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 28

 

Our God Alone
Who formed the mountains
And filled the oceans
Our God alone, our God alone

Who took the dust
And breathed life in us
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who came from heaven
For our redemption
Our God alone, our God alone

Who died for sin
That we may live
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who rose again
Death could not win
Our God alone, our God alone

Who is returning, bringing a Kingdom
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Lord I Need You
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without you, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Where sin runs deep, your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay

Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

You’re my one defense, my righteousness

Give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!

For he is the Lord our God,
faithful to a thousand generations!

Sing to him, sing praises to him;
tell of all his wondrous works!

For he is the Lord our God,

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

 

Your Grace is Enough
Great is your faithfulness, O God
You wrestle with the sinner’s heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Great is your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of your salvation
And all your people sing along

So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Your grace is enough

Your grace is enough for me, for me

Savior, he can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save

Forever, author of salvation

Confession of Faith
God remembered his promise
to reconcile the world to himself;
he has come among us in Jesus Christ,
the eternal Word made flesh.
He is the long-awaited Savior,
fully human and fully divine,
conceived by the Spirit of God
and born of the virgin Mary.
Being both God and man,
Jesus is the only Mediator
between God and his people.
He alone paid the debt of our sin;
there is no other Savior!
In him the Father chose those
whom he would save.
His electing love sustains our hope:
God’s grace is free to save sinners who offer nothing
but their need for mercy.

—Our World Belongs to God, st. 24, 28

Loving and Merciful Father,
As a shepherd protects his sheep,
You love and pursue us, your children.
We rebel and refuse your goodness.
We harbor evil thoughts.
We doubt your Word.
We wound one another.
We fight for control.
Yet your love is never failing,
Flowing from the limitless fountain of your grace.
Cleanse us from our sin.
Rescue us from selfish longings,
And uncaring hearts.
Teach us to love one another,
As testimonies of a renewed people,
In this world that you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

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

Worship – October 5, 2014

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
I will be glad and rejoice in you;
I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.

—Psalm 9:1-2 (NIV)

 

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

 

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say…….

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — 40 (U2)
I waited patiently for the Lord
He inclined and heard my cry
He brought me up out of the pit
Out of the miry clay

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long
How long, how long
To sing this song

He set my feet upon the rock
And made my footsteps firm
Many will see
Many will see and fear

I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song
I will sing, sing a new song

How long to sing this song
How long to sing this song
How long, how long
How long, how long
To sing this song

The Apostles’ Creed
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.

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

 

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
“Collateral The Radiating Influence of a Welcoming Community”
Jonah 1:4-6

 

Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven, have mercy on us,
forgive our sin and turn our hearts towards you.
Fill us with a passion to follow Christ,
and to drink from the well of his goodness,
in what we do and how we live.
Expose where we are vulnerable,
and protect us where we are weak.
Strengthen us to love your ways,
one another, and the world you created to be good,
until you make everything new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee Though prostrate in the dust

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain

No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

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
