Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord, O my soul!

I will praise the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

—Psalm 146:1-2 (ESV)

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

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)

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts – Made Alive
Dead in our sin, broken and hopeless
Children of wrath, walking in darkness

But God, rich in mercy, great in love
By grace from the depths you’ve lifted us

We are made alive through you
And for your glory
We lift our voices to you
For you are holy

No longer dead but now revived
From darkness into life
We are made alive
We are made alive

Raised in Christ, seated in the heavens
So all would know that there is redemption

But God, rich in mercy, great in love
By grace from the depths you’ve lifted us

We are made alive through you
And for your glory
We lift our voices to you
For you are holy

No longer dead but now revived
From darkness into life
We are made alive
We are made alive

In you, we have redemption
In you, we have been chosen

We are made alive through you
And for your glory
We lift our voices to you
For you are holy

No longer dead but now revived
From darkness into life
We are made alive

We are made alive through you
And for your glory
We lift our voices to you
For you are holy

No longer dead but now revived
From darkness into life
We are made alive
We are made alive

A Confession of the Church’s Mission
“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

God You Reign
You paint the night
You count the stars
And you call them by name
The skies proclaim, ‘God you reign’

Your glory shines
You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’

You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

Sermon
“Why Are We Here?”
Acts 13:1-12

Prayer of Confession
Glorious and Everlasting God,
mighty and gracious, tender and kind.
Be merciful and forgive us.
Wash us from within and make us whole.
We sin, yet you receive us as beloved children,
we rebel, yet you do not treat our sins as they deserve.
Fill us with gratitude and wonder at your goodness.
Give us eyes to see your beauty,
and hearts to live as a graced people,
in a world that thirsts for love,
and longs for peace.
Until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God,
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made

I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)

And when I think that God
His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in

That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)

When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart

Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim
“My God, how great thou art”

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)

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

Call to Worship
The Lord is my strength and my song,
and he has become my salvation;
this is my God, and I will praise him,
my father’s God, and I will exalt him.

—Exodus 15:2 (ESV)

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

Only King Forever
Our God and firm foundation
Our Rock, the only solid ground
The nations rise and fall

Kingdoms once strong now shaken
We trust forever in your name
The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

You are the only King forever
Almighty God we lift you higher
You are the only King forever
Forevermore you are victorious

Unmatched in all your wisdom
In love and justice you will reign
And ev’ry knee will bow

We bring our expectations
Our hope is anchored in your name
The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

You are the only King forever
Almighty God we lift you higher
You are the only King forever
Forevermore you are victorious

We lift our banner high
We lift the name of Jesus
From age to age you reign
Your kingdom has no end

You are the only King forever
Almighty God we lift you higher
You are the only King forever
Forevermore you are victorious

A Confession of our Assurance in Jesus
What is your only comfort in life and in death?

That I am not my own, but belong body and soul,
in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,
and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.
He also watches over me in such a way
that not a hair can fall from my head
without the will of my Father in heaven;
in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.
Because I belong to him,
Christ, by his Holy Spirit,
assures me of eternal life
and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready
from now on to live for him.

—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 1

Great Are You Lord
You give life, you are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only

You give life, you are love,
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope
You restore ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are you Lord

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only

And all the earth will shout your praise
Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing
Great are you Lord

It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to you only

Sermon
“Out of Our Minds”
Acts 12:6-19

Prayer of Confession
Mighty God and loving Father,
be merciful to us and forgive.
Our sins are many and we are weak.
Search and cleanse us.
Find us where we are hiding,
and expose where we resist you.
Restore us into your sweet fellowship
through Jesus, your Son and our King.
By your Spirit cause your tenderness to become ours
for those we love and for this world you created to be good.
Give us courage to enter into pain and suffering,
and to love as you have loved us,
that the grace and beauty of Christ would be seen
and sensed, until he comes.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

There Is A Fountain Filled With Blood
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away
And there may I, though vile as he
Wash all my sins away

Dear dying Lamb, thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more
Till all the ransomed church of God
Be saved, to sin no more

E’er since, by faith, I saw the stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be till I die

Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing thy power to save
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave

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

Call to Worship
Israel, put your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love
and with him is full redemption.

He himself will redeem Israel from all their sins.

Let us enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise;
Let us give thanks to him and praise his name.

For the Lord is good and his love endures forever;
his faithfulness continues through all generations.

—Psalm 130:7-8 & 100:4-5

O Worship the King
O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love

Our Shield and Defender
The Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

O tell of his might
O sing of his grace
Whose robe is the light
Whose canopy space

His chariots of wrath
The deep thunderclouds form
And dark is his path
On the wings of the storm

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty

Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light

O measureless might
Ineffable love
While angels delight
To worship above

Thy mercies, how tender
How firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender
Redeemer, and Friend

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty

Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty

Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light

O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love

Our shield and defender
The ancient of days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

This Is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross

You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross

You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy

This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross

You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

A Confession of Jesus Christ
Why do we call Jesus “our Lord”?

Because – not with gold or silver, but with his precious blood
he has set us free from sin and from the tyranny of the devil,
and has bought us, body and soul, to be his very own.

—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 34

Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee

Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity

Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see

Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity

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

Sermon
“Violent Hands”
Acts 12:1-11, 20-25

Prayer of Confession
Gracious God and Father,
your mercies are new every morning,
and your love is everlasting.
Forgive our transgressions,
and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
We are willful, weak and rebellious,
and temptation and evil are ever before us.
Forgive the secret delights we take in sin,
and the ways we nurture unholy hearts.
Wash and restore us to fellowship with you.
That you may be glorified in us and through us,
as we live in your vision of a renewed world.
Through Jesus. Amen.

The Lord’s Supper

Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done

How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk

Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same

He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free

Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan

Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in

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
