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

 

All the Poor and Powerless
All the poor and powerless
And all the lost and lonely
And all the thieves will come confess
And know that you are holy
And know that you are holy

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

All the hearts who are content
And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God

Shout it
Go on and sing it from the mountains
Go on and tell it to the masses
That he is God

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

And all will sing out hallelujah
And we will cry out hallelujah

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

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

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

Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

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

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

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church

 

Sermon
“The End. The Beginning…”
Acts 16: 25-34

 

Prayer of Confession
Have mercy on us, O God.
Forgive our many sins.
Wash us and make us clean.
Send your Spirit to fill us,
teach us to wait on you,
with willing and obedient hearts.
Grant us grace to trust you as you work,
even when our hearts feel desperate,
and our spirits are weak.
Forgive when we rely on our own strength
and refuse to rely on you.
Strengthen us by your Spirit,
and empower us to be the Church
to a world in need of your transforming grace.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

John Newton, 1779; Tune, AMAZING GRACE, traditional American melody

 

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

Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois

Immortal, Invisible God Only Wise
Immortal, invisible
God only wise
In light inaccessible
Hid from our eyes

Most blessed, most glorious
The Ancient of Days
Almighty, victorious
Thy great name we praise

Unresting, unhasting
And silent as light,
Nor wanting, nor wasting
Thou rulest in might

Thy justice, like mountains
High soaring above
Thy clouds, which are fountains
Of goodness and love

To all, life thou givest
To both great and small
In all life thou livest
The true life of all

We blossom and flourish
As leaves on the tree
And wither and perish
But naught changeth thee

Great Father of glory
Pure Father of light
Thine angels adore thee
All veiling their sight

All praise we would render
O help us to see
‘Tis only the splendor
Of light hideth thee

Walter Chalmers Smith, 1867.Tune, ST. DENIO, traditional Welsh hymn melody © Public Domain CCLI 241710

 

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)

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church

 

Sermon
“The Cultural Imperative”
Acts 16:1-5

 

Prayer of Confession
Mighty God and loving Father,
be merciful to us.
We offer nothing but empty hands,
but we come in the name of Jesus,
who died our death, and bore our shame.
And we pray that in Christ, you would forgive our sin,
and restore the joy of our salvation,
renewing us to serve and take pleasure in you,
your Church and your world,
as you make all things new.
Now, and forevermore.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Jesus, Thou Joy of Loving Hearts
Jesus, thou joy of loving hearts
Thou fount of life, thou light of men
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to thee again

Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood
Thou savest those that on thee call
To them that seek thee, thou art good
To them that find thee all in all

We taste of thee, O Living Bread
And long to feast upon thee still
We drink of thee, the Fountainhead
And thirst our souls from thee to fill

Our restless spirits yearn for thee
Wherever our changeful lot is cast
Glad when thy gracious smile we see
Blessed when our faith can hold thee fast

O Jesus, ever with us stay
Make all our moments calm and bright
Chase the dark night of sin away
Shed over the world thy holy light

Shed over the world thy holy light

Shed over the world thy holy light

Bernard of Clairvaux, 12th Century, Brian T. Murphy © 2003 Red Mountain Music CCLI 241710
