Worship – July 24, 2016

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
All the nations you have made
shall worship and glorify your name, O Lord,
For you are great and do wondrous things;
you alone are God.

I will praise you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
and I will glorify your name forever.

—based on Psalm 86

 

Unbroken Praise
Praise unbroken, praise unending
Be yours, be yours forevermore

Praise untainted, praise unfading
Be yours, be yours forevermore
Be yours, be yours forevermore

Unbroken praise be yours, God, forever
All my praise be yours, God, forever
Lord, take this life, let it become your throne
Unbroken praise be yours

My surrender, my devotion
Be yours, be yours forevermore
Be yours, be yours forevermore

Unbroken praise be yours, God, forever
All my praise be yours, God, forever
Lord, take this life, let it become your throne
Unbroken praise be yours

So let my deeds outrun my words
And let my life outweigh my songs

So let my deeds outrun my words
And let my life outweigh my songs

Unbroken praise be yours, God, forever
All my praise be yours, God, forever
Lord, take this life, let it become your throne
Unbroken praise be yours

Unbroken praise be yours, God, forever
All my praise be yours, God, forever
Lord, take this life, let it become your throne
Unbroken praise be yours

Unbroken praise be yours
Unbroken praise be yours

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

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — I Am Not Alone
When I walk through deep waters
I know that you will be with me
When I’m standing in the fire
I will not be overcome
Through the valley of the shadow, I will not fear

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

In the midst of deep sorrow
I see your light is breaking through
The dark of night will not overtake me
I am pressing into you
Lord, you fight my ev’ry battle and I will not fear

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

You amaze me, redeem me
You call me as your own
You amaze me, redeem me
You call me as your own

You’re my strength, you’re my defender
You’re my refuge in the storm
Through these trials you’ve always been faithful
You bring healing to my soul

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

I am not alone, I am not alone
You will go before me, you will never leave me

Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with thee

Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not
As thou hast been
Thou forever will be

Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above

Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide

Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Sermon
“As You Have Believed”
Matthew 8:5-13

 

Prayer of Confession
“Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good;
for his steadfast love endures forever!”
Holy, gracious and kind,
are you God, our Father.
When we are weak, you are strong.
When we fail, you are merciful.
When we are faint, you are mighty.
Though we are unworthy, you are faithful.
Forgive us our sins, and cleanse our hearts
from wicked motives and impure thoughts.
Restore us and make us a sweet aroma
that reflects your loving presence,
before a broken world that longs for hope and peace.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
“For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.”

— Romans 5:10, 11

 

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
