Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.

Come, let us worship God together!

—based on I Peter 1:3-4

 

Arise My Soul, Arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears
The bleeding sacrifice
In my behalf appears

Before the throne my Surety stands
Before the throne my Surety stands
My name is written on his hands

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

He ever lives above
For me to intercede
His all redeeming love
His precious blood to plead

His blood atoned for every race
His blood atoned for every race
And sprinkles now the throne of grace

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Five bleeding wounds he bears
Received on Calvary
They pour effectual prayers
They strongly plead for me

“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Forgive him, O forgive,” they cry
“Nor let that ransomed sinner die”

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

My God is reconciled
His pardoning voice I hear
He owns me for his child
I can no longer fear

With confidence I now draw nigh
With confidence I now draw nigh
And “Father, Abba, Father,” cry

Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Arise (arise), arise (arise), arise
Arise, my soul, arise
Shake off your guilty fears and rise

Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

—Apostles’ Creed

* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.

 

Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder
Let us love and sing and wonder
Let us praise the Savior’s name
He has hushed the law’s loud thunder
He has quenched Mount Sinai’s flame

Let us love the Lord who bought us
Pitied us when enemies
Called us by his grace and taught us
Gave us ears and gave us eyes

He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He presents our souls to God

Let us wonder, grace and justice
Join and point to mercy’s store
When through grace in Christ our trust is
Justice smiles and asks no more

He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
He who washed us with his blood
Has secured our way to God

Let us praise, and join the chorus
Of the saints enthroned on high
Here they trusted him before us
Now their praises fill the sky

He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He has washed us with his blood
He will bring us home to God

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

“Jesus Went With Them”

Prayer of Confession
God of grace and peace, Friend of sinners and Lord of life,
your goodness is beyond comprehension, and your love unfailing.
Have mercy on us and forgive where we are weak, rebellious, lost and vulnerable.
Give us strength to endure, and protect us from paralyzing fear,
by the power of your Spirit, who is at work within us.
Grant us a renewed vision of the resurrection,
with our hearts, with one another, and in our world, until you make all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee Though prostrate in the dust

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain

No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father

As it was in the beginning

Easter Worship – March 27, 2016

Easter Welcome

 

Call to Worship
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He has raised Jesus from the dead.

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.

So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death,
and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!”

Christ is risen, and you are overthrown.

Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen.

Christ is risen, and the Angels rejoice.

Christ is risen, and life reigns.

Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave.

Alleluia! Christ is risen.

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

— from Isaiah 26:19, Romans 13:12, the Troparion of Pascha, an Orthodox hymn chanted at Easter (“Pascha”), John Chrysostom’s, Sermon on the Lord’s Resurrection & Traditional Easter Affirmation.

 

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting?
O, hell, where is your victory?
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

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

Matthew Bridges, 1851. Tune, DIADEMATA, George J. Elvey, 1868CCLI 241710

 

Mark 16:1-6
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.

Easter Prayer

 

Gifts — All We Sinners
On yonder hill, the darkness flew
The morning broke in light and dew
When day had come again anew
All we sinners sang

In muck and mire our wretched souls
Had fallen to the depths below
Hell deserved, but there was hope
All we sinners sang

Saved, we are saved
The gates of heaven wide open
Saved, we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stolen

What could ever pay the cost?
On Calvary’s hill there rose a cross
And could it be that evil lost?
All we sinners sang
And all we sinners sang

Saved, we are saved
The gates of heaven wide open
Saved, we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stole
Stolen

The crimson river, like a flood
Came washing over all of us
It swallowed sin and death right up
And all we sinners sang
Yeah, all we sinners sang

Saved, we are saved
The gates of heaven wide open
Saved, we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stole
Stolen

Saved, we are saved
The gates of heaven wide open
Saved, we are saved
The keys to the grave have been stole
Stolen

On yonder hill, where darkness flew
When morning breaks in light and dew
Day has come again anew
All we sinners sing

1 Corinthians 15:50-56
Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.
For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality. When the perishable puts on the imperishable, and the mortal puts on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying that is written:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”
“O death, where is your victory?
O death, where is your sting?”

 

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
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

Congregational Response
Enter into the joy of your Lord,
You who are rich and you the poor, come to the feast,
Receive all the riches of loving-kindness…
And let no one regret his poverty,
For the Kingdom has been revealed

We celebrate the death of Death,
The annihilation of Hell,
The beginning of a life new and everlasting.
And with joy we sing praises to the Author thereof…

Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All thy works with joy surround thee
Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around thee
Center of unbroken praise

Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Thou art giving and forgiving
Ever blessing, ever blessed
Wellspring of the joy of living
Ocean depth of happy rest

Thou our Father, Christ our Brother
All who live in love are thine
Teach us how to love each other
Lift us to the joy divine

Mortals join the mighty chorus

Gifts — Though You Slay Me
I come, God I come, return to the Lord
The one who’s broken, the one who’s torn me apart

You strike down to bind me up,
You say you do it all in love
That I might know you in your suffering

Though you slay me, yet I will praise you
Though you take from me, I will bless your name

Though you ruin me, still I will worship
Sing a song to the one who’s all I need

My heart and flesh may fail, the earth below give way
With my eyes, with my eyes I’ll see the Lord

Lifted high upon that day, behold the Lamb that was slain
And I’ll know that every tear was worth it all

Though you slay me, yet I will praise you
Though you take from me, I will bless your name

Though you ruin me, still I will worship
Sing a song to the one who’s all I need

Though tonight I’m crying out
Let this cup pass from me now
You’re still more than I need

You’re enough for me
You’re enough for me

Though you slay me, yet I will praise you
Though you take from me, I will bless your name

Though you ruin me, still I will worship
Sing a song to the one who’s all I need
Sing a song to the one who’s all I need

No Other Name
One name holds weight above them all
His fame outlasts the earth he formed
His praise resounds beyond the stars
And echoes in our hearts
The greatest one of all

His face shines brighter than the sun
His grace as boundless as his love
He reigns with healing in his wings
The King above all kings
The greatest One of all

Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God

Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God

Find hope when all the world seems lost
Behold the triumph of the cross
His power has trampled death and grave
Our life found in his name
The greatest name of all

Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God

Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God

The earth will shake and tremble before him
Chains will break as heaven and earth sing
Holy is the name
Holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

The earth will shake and tremble before him
Chains will break as heaven and earth sing
Holy is the name
Holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus

Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God

Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name

There is no other name
There is no other name, Jesus

The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

When he shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — “We Believe”
In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And he’s given us new life

We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that he conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And he’s coming back again, we believe

So let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
In our weakness and temptations
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And he’s given us new life

We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that he conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And he’s coming back again

Let the lost be found and the dead be raised
In the here and now, let love invade
Let the church live loud, our God will save
We believe, we believe

And the gates of hell will not prevail
For the pow’r of God has torn the veil
Now we know your love will never fail
We believe, we believe

We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And he’s given us new life

We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that he conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And he’s coming back, he’s coming back again
He’s coming back again
We believe, we believe

Confession of Faith
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy *catholic church, the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

—Apostles’ Creed

* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.

 

Our God Alone
Who formed the mountains
And filled the oceans
Our God alone, our God alone

Who took the dust
And breathed life in us
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who came from heaven
For our redemption
Our God alone, our God alone

Who died for sin
That we may live
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who rose again
Death could not win
Our God alone, our God alone

Who is returning, bringing a Kingdom
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Sermon
“Clean, The Cleansing Story”
Luke 17:11-19

 

Prayer of Confession
Faithful, loving Father,
you know us and see us.
You know where we are weak,
and you see our sin and shame.
‘You hem us in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon us.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for us;’
wash us and make us clean.
Forgive our evil affections,
and expose our wicked attitudes and desires,
give us glad and grateful hearts
that long to know your delight.
And embody your grace
to a world that longs for healing and wholeness.
Until heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus Died My Soul to Save
I stand amazed at your love for me
That lonely night in Gethsemane
This sinner’s heart can’t help but thrill
To hear you pray, “Father, not my will”

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

Atonement full, applied to me
The blood that spilled at Calvary
Has swallowed all my sin and shame
I’m reconciled, in Jesus’ name

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

O such pleasure, O such pain
The Father’s wrath and fury laid
On Christ whom saints and angels praise
Jesus died my soul to save

Come you broken, bound by sin
And let your weary journey end
Come and lay your burdens down
Where mercy rules and peace abounds

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save
Jesus died my soul to save

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen
