Worship – February 21, 2016

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.

Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous deeds among all peoples.

—Psalm 96:1-3

 

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown him Lord of all

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all
Hail him who saves you by his grace
And crown him Lord of all

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all
To him all majesty ascribe
And crown him Lord of all

O that, with yonder sacred throng
We at his feet may fall
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown him Lord of all

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — More Than Conquerors
When my hope and strength is gone
You are the one who calls me on
You are the life, you are the fight
That’s in my soul

Oh, your resurrection power
Burns like fire in my heart
When waters rise, I lift my eyes
Up to your throne

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

I will sing into the night
Christ is risen and on high
Greater is he living in me
Than in the world

No surrender, no retreat
We are free and we’re redeemed
We will declare over despair
You are the hope

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

Nothing is impossible
Every chain is breakable
With you we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
With you we are victorious

Nothing is impossible
Every chain is breakable
With you we are victorious
You are stronger than our hearts
With you we are victorious

We are more than conquerors, through Christ
You have overcome this world, this life
We will not bow to sin or to shame
We are defiant in your name
You are the fire that cannot be tamed
You are the power in our veins
Our Lord, our God, our Conqueror

Affirmation of Faith
Following the apostles, the church is sent—
sent with the gospel of the kingdom
to make disciples of all nations, to feed the hungry,
and to proclaim the assurance that in the name of Christ
there is forgiveness of sin and new life for all who repent and believe—
to tell the news that our world belongs to God.
In a world estranged from God, where millions face confusing choices,
this mission is central to our being, for we announce the one name that saves.
We repent of leaving this work to a few,
we pray for brothers and sisters who suffer for the faith,
and we rejoice that the Spirit is waking us to see our mission in God’s world.

—Our World Belongs to God, st. 44

 

Uncreated One
Holy uncreated One
Your beauty fills the skies
But the glory of your majesty
Is the mercy in your eyes

Worthy uncreated One
From heaven to earth come down
You laid aside your royalty
To wear the sinner’s crown

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Jesus Savior, God’s own Son
Risen reigning Lord
Sustainer of the universe
By the power of your word

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

And when we see your matchless face
In speechless awe we’ll stand
And there we’ll bow with grateful hearts
Unto the great I AM

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

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

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

Sermon
“Shake it Off”
Acts 13:42-14:7

 

Prayer of Confession
Dear Father,
we are thankful that your mercy is higher than the heavens,
wider than our wanderings, deeper than all our sin.
Forgive our frivolous attitude toward life,
our callousness toward suffering,
our envy of those who are given much,
our obsession with personal pleasure,
our indifference to the treasures of heaven,
our neglect of your wise and gracious law.
Change our hearts so that we may desire what is good, love what you love,
and become agents of your healing, renewal and peace
in this broken world that surrounds us.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Come Ye Sinners
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power

Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God’s free bounty glorified
True belief in true repentance
And every grace that brings you nigh

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

Come ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

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
