Call to Worship
To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father

To him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

—Revelation 1:5b-6 (NIV)

 

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me

More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My Anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless, to stand before the throne

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Come and See
Lost in darkness, in selfishness and pride
All rebellious and blinded from the light
We made idols in hopes that they would save
All while running far away from grace

Then he called us out of darkness
Into his wondrous light
Yes he called us out of darkness
Into his wondrous light

Come and see, come and see
Come and see what the Lord has done for us
Oh proclaim, all you saints
Oh proclaim all the wonders of his love

Though once strangers, now we are made his own
Founded solely on Christ the cornerstone
Now the church stands as a chosen race
A holy people, called to bear his name

Then he called us out of darkness
Into his wondrous light
Yes he called us out of darkness
Into his wondrous light

Come and see, come and see
Come and see what the Lord has done for us
Oh proclaim, all you saints
Oh proclaim all the wonders of his love

Come and see, come and see
Come and see what the Lord has done for us
Oh proclaim, all you saints
Oh proclaim all the wonders of his love

Oh proclaim, all you saints
Oh proclaim all the wonders of his love

A Confession of the Church
“We believe that God has entrusted the church
with the message of reconciliation
in and through Jesus Christ,
that the church is called to be the salt of the earth
and the light of the world,
that the church is called blessed
because it is a peacemaker,
that the church is witness
both by word and by deed
to the new heaven and the new earth
in which righteousness dwells.”

—from the Belhar Confession

 

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise

These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

To the valley for my soul
Your great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“Submit Complaints Here”
Acts 6: 1-7

 

Prayer of Confession
Loving God and Father,
be merciful and forgive our sins.
You know us and have made us to be yours.
And you have loved us in Jesus,
who bled and died that we may live.
Wash away our pride and unbelief.
Turn us from sinful thoughts and deeds.
Give us willing spirits,
to love you and one another,
and to love this world that you created to be good.
Until Christ comes and makes all things 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

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

My Eyes Have Seen Holy
Am I unfit for you?
Remember me, the one who turned from you?
I come in rags, tattered by the fall
And all the earth, a witness to my crime

Mercy, weep over me
Let your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
For my eyes have seen holy

Hear my prayer at night
Let the morning find me alive
For I am tired and weakened by the fall,
Let all the earth bear witness to my cry

Mercy, weep over me
Let your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
For my eyes have seen holy

Let the amen sound from heaven as you lift my soul
Let the amen sound from heaven as you lift my soul
Let the angels sound from heaven, holy is the Lord

Mercy, weep over me
Let your tears wash me clean
Majesty, be merciful with me
For my eyes have seen holy

Baptism {10:30 a.m. service}
The child being presented for infant baptism this morning is Isaac Thomas Skillman, covenant son of Peter and Ruth Skillman.

 

An Affirmation of the Father’s Care
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

 

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
“Worthy to Suffer Dishonor”
Acts 5: 33-42

 

Prayer of Confession
Dear Jesus, Friend to Sinners,
be merciful to us, for this is what we are.
Take the broken offering of our imperfect hearts,
and weak resolves,
and graciously forgive our sins.
Where we are restless, bring peace.
Where our hearts are cold, melt the indifference away.
Free us from self-serving passions.
Open our hearts to the weak and the outcast.
Enable us to love as you have loved us,
and to serve as you have served.
Change us and free us to love,
follow, and obey you, for the sake of this world
that you created to be good.
Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

What a Friend We Have in Jesus
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer

Oh, what peace we often forfeit
Oh, what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakess
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer

Do your friends despise, forsake you
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In his arms he’ll take and shield you
You will find your solace there

In his arms he’ll take and shield you
You will find your solace there

—Revelation 1:5b-6 (NIV)

 

Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more
Feed me till I want no more

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
Be thou still my Strength and Shield

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side

Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee
I will ever give to thee

Confession of Faith
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.

—Apostles’ Creed

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

 

All the Poor and Powerless
All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
And all the thieves will come confess
And know that you are holy
And know that you are holy

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God

Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

Sermon
“The Words of This Life”
Acts 5:17-32

 

Prayer of Confession
Mighty God and compassionate Father,
you are ‘merciful and slow to anger,’
abounding in steadfast love.’
You know our weak resolves and unrighteous deeds,
our evil thoughts and impure desires,
have mercy on us and forgive our sin.
Cleanse our hearts and restore us to the sweet fellowship
you created for us to enjoy with you,
with one another, and with our world.
Give us longing hearts for you,
until heaven and earth are one,
and you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Behold the Lamb
Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away
Slain for us and we remember
The promise made that all who come in faith
Find forgiveness at the cross

So we share in this Bread of Life
And we drink of his sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of peace
Around the table of the King

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ
Torn for you eat and remember
The wounds that heal the death that brings us life
Paid the price to make us one

So we share in this Bread of Life
And we drink of his sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of love
Around the table of the King

The blood that cleanses every stain of sin
Shed for you drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
To receive the life of God

So we share in this Bread of Life
And we drink of his sacrifice
As a sign of our bonds of grace
Around the table of the King

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise
To respond and to remember
Our call to follow in the steps of Christ
As his body here on earth

As we share in his suffering
We proclaim Christ will come again
And we’ll join in the feast of heaven
Around the table of the King
