Call to Worship
To him who loves us
and has freed us from our sins by his blood,
and has made us to be a kingdom and priests
to serve his God and Father—
to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.
—Revelation 1:5-6
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

How Great Is Our God
The splendor of a King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice
And trembles at his voice
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Age to age he stands
And time is in his hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God
Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God, to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
How great is our God, sing with me
How great is our God, and all will see
How great, how great is our God

Sermon
“Extraordinary Generosity”
Galatians 5:22-26 and Romans 5:6-8
Prayer of Confession
Merciful God and Loving Father,
we come with empty hands, weak and needy.
Our sins are ever before us.
Forgive and cleanse us in the living water,
that flows from our Savior, Jesus.
Make us a gracious presence,
and a compassionate people.
Bless our community and love our world,
through us and in spite of us,
as you make Jesus known
to those who share our brokenness
in this fallen world you created to be good.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us –
for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree.”
—Galatians 3:13
The Lord’s Supper
Lord, I Need You
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without you, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Where sin runs deep, your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay
Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
You’re my one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you
