Call to Worship
I will praise you, O LORD, among the nations;
I will sing of you among the peoples.
For great is your love, higher than the heavens;
your faithfulness reaches to the skies.
—Psalm 108:3-4 (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 morn in praise rejoice
Ye lights of heaven find a 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

The Earth is Yours
Your voice it thunders
The oaks start twisting
The forest sounds with cedars breaking
The waters see you
And start their writhing
From the depths a song is rising
Now it’s rising from the ground…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Your voice it thunders
The ground is shaking
The mighty mountains now are trembling
Creation sees you
And starts composing
The fields and trees, they start rejoicing
Now it’s rising from the ground
Now it’s rising from the ground
Hear us crying out…
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours and singing
Holy, holy, holy, holy Lord
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
The earth is yours
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Gifts — Breathe
Breathe, breathe on me now
Open your mouth and speak the word
that heals this broken ground
Say, say what you will as we are still
As we breathe in the very breath of God
O, Spirit of God here with us now
Giving us life again
Breathe, breathe on us now
Fill us with your love
Send us with your power
Spirit of God
Breathe, breathe on us now
Open your mouth and speak the word
That heals this broken ground
Say, say what you will show us your will
As we breathe in the very breath of God
O, Spirit of God here with us now
Giving us life again
Breathe, breathe on us now
Fill us with your love
Send us with your power

A Confession of Jesus
This Lord, our God, the Word of God, the Word made flesh,
the Son of the Father, the Son of God, the Son of man,
exalted that he might create us, humbled that he might recreate us.
Walked among men and suffering what is human.
Let every sigh be a panting after Christ,
let that most beautiful One,
who loved even the ugly that he might make them beautiful,
let him be longed for.
Hurry to him alone.
—A Prayer from Augustine of Hippo (354-430 AD)
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
“That I Might Win the Weak”
1 Corinthians 9:19-27
Prayer of Confession
Sovereign and Gracious God,
have mercy on us and forgive our sin.
Remove our shame and cover our guilt.
Strengthen our weak resolves
to love, follow and obey you.
Give us hearts of faith,
that trust you to accomplish
all you have promised to do
in our lives and in the world,
until you make everything new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
In the Shadow of the Glorious Cross
In the shadow of the glorious cross
Compelled by grace to cast my lot
I’ll discard the loss and bare your name
Forsaking all for your own fame
Your hymn of grace sung over me
Abounding forth in glorious streams
My thirst is quenched by you, my Lord
Sustained am I, redeemed, restored
Sustained am I, redeemed, restored
Hallelujah, hallelujah
When death’s dark shadow’s at my feet
When I am plagued by unbelief
You place my hands into your side
By precious blood identified
By precious blood identified
Hallelujah, hallelujah
These crowns I’ve clenched with fisted hands
I cast them down before the throne
Of Christ, my God, the worthy lamb
Christ crucified, the Great I AM
Christ crucified, the Great I AM
Christ crucified, the Great I AM
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, hallelujah
