Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
LEADER
Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon his name;
make known his deeds among the peoples!

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

TOGETHER
Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts of those who seek the Lord rejoice!

—Psalm 105:1-3 (ESV)

 

Come Ye Thankful People Come
Come, ye thankful people, come
Raise the song of harvest home
All is safely gathered in
E’re the winter storms begin

God our Maker doth provide
For our wants to be supplied
Come to God’s own temple, come
Raise the song of harvest home

For the Lord our God shall come
And shall take his harvest home
From his field shall in that day
All offenses purge away

Giving angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast
But the fruitful ears to store
In his garner evermore

Even so, Lord, quickly come
Bring thy final harvest home
Gather thou thy people in
Free from sorrow, free from sin

There, forever purified
In thy garner to abide
Come, with all thine angels come
Raise the glorious harvest home

Gifts — Jesus, I Come
Oh, how I need your grace
More than my words can say
Jesus I come, Jesus I come

In all my weaknesses
You are my confidence
Jesus I come, Jesus I come

I will rise and stand redeemed
Heaven open over me
To your name eternally
Endless glory I will bring

Oh, what amazing love
Beneath your cleansing flood
Jesus I come, Jesus I come

In every broken place
You are my righteousness
Jesus I come, Jesus I come

I will rise and stand redeemed
Heaven open over me
To your name eternally
Endless glory I will bring

I will rise and stand redeemed
Heaven open over me
To your name eternally
Endless glory I will bring

Thank you Jesus
Just as I am, I come
Hallelujah
Oh, what amazing love

Thank you Jesus
Just as I am, I come
Hallelujah
Oh, what amazing love

Thank you Jesus
Just as I am, I come
Hallelujah
Oh, what amazing love

I will rise and stand redeemed
Heaven open over me
To your name eternally
Endless glory I will bring

I will rise and stand redeemed
Heaven open over me
To your name eternally
Endless glory I will bring

A Litany of Thanks
Great God, for all that is gracious in our lives,
revealing the image of Christ, we give you thanks.

For our daily food and drink,
our homes and families, and our friends,
we give you thanks.

For minds to think and hearts to love
and hands to serve, we give you thanks.

For health and strength to work,
and leisure to rest and play,
we give you thanks.

For the strength you provide in our weakness.

For the good you bring out of our pain.
And the grace you provide in our brokenness.

For the great mercies and promises of the gospel,
given to us in Christ Jesus our Lord;

To you, O God, be praise and glory. Amen.

 

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man

Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown

Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host

Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man

Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Sermon
“We Shall Be Fruitful”
Genesis 26:17-25

 

Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father,
True and Living God,
be merciful to us and forgive our sins.
Heal us from unbelief, fear and pride.
Renew within us steadfast spirits
that find rest and peace in you alone.
Restore joy where there has been barrenness of spirit,
and hope where we have been skeptical.
Cause your Word to penetrate to our hearts,
and shape us into a transformed people,
who not only profess, but also live
the Gospel before a world
in need of your good news.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

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

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

You’re my one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
