Call to Worship

 

How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In his excellent Word

What more can he say
Than to you he hath said
To you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous
Omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of woe
Shall not thee overflow

For I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress

When through fiery trials
Thy pathways shall lie
My grace, all sufficient
Shall be thy supply

The flame shall not hurt thee
I only design
Thy dross to consume
And thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus
Hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to its foes

That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never
No never forsake

John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt. Tune, FOUNDATION, American folk hymn © Public Domain CCLI 241710

 

Great and Mighty King
Your love has rescued us
The cross delivered all our hearts from fear
Our hope is here

You came to make a way
Jesus, you came to raise the dead to life
Our song will rise

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

What do we have to bring
This is our offering, our hearts before
The risen Lord

All power in your name
Jesus, the One who saves, be lifted high
Our song will rise

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts— “One and Only”
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise?
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light?
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts?

Who sang as planets learned their dance?
Who poured the oceans from his hands?
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch?

Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us?
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us Heaven’s best?
You rose to give us Heaven’s best

Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours

My Savior, Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone

We will watch the bridegroom come
And Heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne

Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours

My Jesus, One and Only
Great and Holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord, Almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Praise to the Lord, the Almighty
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee
Health hath vouchsafed
And when heedlessly failing, hath stayed thee

What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief
Wings of his mercy did shade thee

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Praise to the Lord
Who, when tempests their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements
Madly around thee are raging

Biddeth them cease
Turneth their fury to peace
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church

 

Sermon
“When Friends Collide”
Acts 15:36-41

 

Prayer of Confession
Heavenly Father,
forgive us and cleanse us from unrighteousness.
Our sins are too numerous to count
and too great for us to overcome.
Freshly pour out your grace upon us.
Captivate our hearts, our desires,
our motives and our actions.
Where we have been distant, draw us near.
Where we have been resistant, break down our hardness,
where we have been fearful, reaffirm your love.
Heal, restore and renew us. And in this,
bear testimony to your greatness and glory.
That the world would know that you are good.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidst me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, though tossed about
With many conflicts, many doubts
Fightings and fears within, without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

Just as I am, thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down
Now, to be thine, yea thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come, I come

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

Call to Worship
The Lord reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the Lord is robed in majesty and armed with strength;
indeed, the world is established, firm and secure.

Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.

The seas have lifted up, Lord,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.

Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the Lord on high is mighty.

Our song shall rise to 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

All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea

Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — Good, Good Father
I’ve heard a thousand stories
Of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

I’ve seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
‘Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still as you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still into love, love, love

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

Faithful Father and Almighty King,
from everlasting to everlasting you are God.
In you alone we have our life and being.
Our sins are many
and our weakness abounds.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
Cleanse us from our unrighteousness.
Forgive our transgressions, both public and private,
convict our hearts of deep and hidden sin.
Renew our spirits and strengthen our faith.

you created to be good.
Until heaven and earth are one.

The Lord’s Supper

 

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are

There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

Worship – April 17, 2016

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart;
I will recount all of your wonderful deeds.

I will be glad and exult in you;
I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

—Psalm 9:1-2

 

Come Thou Fount
Come, thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I’m come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandr’ing from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let that grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

O that day, when freed from sinning
I shall see thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing thy sovereign grace

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send thine angels, now to carry
Me to realms of endless day

Robert Robinson, Asahel Nettleton © Public Domain CCLI 241710

 

Rejoice
Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold his power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near

For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love

Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise

Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood

Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go

Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise

Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still

Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed

Rejoice!
When you cry to him
He hears your voice
He will wipe away your tears

Rejoice!
In the midst of suffering
He will help you sing…

Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise

Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

Receiving of New Members

 

A Confession of Faith
If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord…

We testify that Jesus is not only our Savior, but also our King.
And that all creation is subject to his rule.

And believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead…

Not only with our minds, but also in the depths of our hearts,
we believe that Jesus died, and rose from the dead,
and that he is making all things new.
We therefore trust him with our lives.

You will be saved.

Saved from our selves

Saved from sin’s power

Saved from humanity’s injustice

Saved from guilt’s misery

Saved from death’s grip.

What does this mean for those who follow Jesus?

We have surrendered our lives, our wills and futures to him.

How does this assure us?

Whenever life overwhelms us, we remember
that Jesus is Ruler over all things.
Whenever shame threatens to paralyze,
we call to mind our Father who has forgiven our sin.
Whenever this world discourages us, we hear the voice of the Spirit
who assures us that we are God’s children. Amen.

—based on Romans 10:9

 

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise

These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

To the valley for my soul
Your great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows

O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever

Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever

Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“The Drama of Jesus”
Acts 15:1-21

 

Prayer of Confession
Gracious Father and loving God,
forgive our sins, and cleanse our hearts.
Fill us with hope where there has been despair,
compassion where there has been indifference,
and faith where there has been unbelief,
help us to live in reliance upon your grace.
Protect us from growing silent to your voice,
and callous to your convictions.
Strengthen us to love one another,
and inspire us to love one another
and your good but broken world,
as you have loved us.
Through Jesus. Amen

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again

And as he stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
‘Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Call to Worship
I love you, O Lord, my strength.
The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
and I am saved from my enemies.

—Psalm 18:1-3

 

And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me who caused his pain
For me who him to death pursued

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race

’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light

My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine

Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me
(repeat)

Sermon
“Jesus Can”
Matthew 14:13-33

 

Prayer of Confession
Faithful God and loving Father,
hear our cry and forgive our sin.
Be merciful and cleanse our unrighteousness.
Take our broken lives and restore us,
that we may serve you with joy,
and enter into the pain and suffering
of your good but fallen world,
that the weary will be made strong,
the discouraged will find hope,
the lost will be found,
and the wounded will be made whole,
as we have been, in your Son.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Nothing But The Blood
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
