Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Our souls magnify the Lord
and our spirits rejoice in God our Savior!

The Mighty One has done great things for us!
Holy is his name!

Let us worship God.

For he is our Maker and our Redeemer;
from generation to generation God gives mercy.

—Psalm 9:1-2 (NIV)

 

All Creatures of Our God and King
All creatures of our God and King
Lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise him, alleluia

Thou burning sun with golden beam
Thou silver moon with softer gleam
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, allleuia, alleluia

Thou rushing wind that art so strong
Ye clouds that sail in heaven along
O praise him, alleluia

Thou rising moon in praise rejoice
Ye lights of evening find your voice
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleuia

Let all things their Creator bless
And worship him in humbleness
O praise him, alleluia

Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son
And praise the Spirit, Three in One
O praise him, O praise him
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Revive Us Again
We praise you, O God
For the Son of your love
For Jesus who died
And is now gone above

We praise you O God
For your spirit of light
Who has shown us our Savior
And scattered our night

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

All glory and praise
To the Lamb that was slain
Who has born all our sin
And has cleansed every stain

Revive us again
Fill our hearts with your love
And may our souls be rekindled
With fire from above

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, amen

Hallelujah, thine the glory

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

Hallelujah, thine the glory
Hallelujah, amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory
Revive us again

To shine brighter in us

Sermon
“Tempestuous – The Unforeseen Goodness of God”
Jonah 1:11-16

 

Prayer of Confession
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

Anne Steele, 1753. Music by Kevin Twit, ©1998. CCLI 241710

 

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen

Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
