The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases;
his mercies never come to an end;
they are new every morning;
great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul,
“therefore I will hope in him.”
—Lamentations 3:22-24
Crown Him With Many Crowns
Crown him with many crowns
The Lamb upon his throne
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee
And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity
Crown him the Lord of love
Behold his hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
All hail, Redeemer, hail
For thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity
Crown him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died, eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Your Grace is Enough
Great is your faithfulness, O God
You wrestle with the sinner’s heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart
So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Great is your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of your salvation
And all your people sing along
So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
So remember your people
Remember your children
Remember your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me, for me

Sermon
“Our Blessed Disadvantage”
Acts 13:6-12
Prayer of Confession
Gracious and Loving Father,
you are faithful and the source of all blessing.
Your love is everlasting,
and your mercies are new every morning.
Forgive our sin and make us clean.
Protect us from unholy actions, unclean motives,
and impure thoughts.
Give us courage to face our demons
and own our weaknesses.
Break the yoke of self-serving attitudes.
Capture our imaginations with the beauty,
power and hope of the gospel.
Melt our hearts for the weak,
the broken and the lost.
Until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
Come to Me
Weary burdened wanderer
There is rest for thee
At the feet of Jesus
In his love so free
Listen to his message
Words of life, forever blessed
O, thou heavy laden
Come to me, come and rest
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
Bring him all thy burdens
All thy guilt and sin
Mercy’s door is open
Rise up and enter
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
Jesus there is waiting
Patiently for thee
Hear him gently calling
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
