Call to Worship
Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to the holy place
and bless the Lord!
—Psalm 134:1-2
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

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name
Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name
Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say…….
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Gifts — King of Love
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am his
And he is mine forever
And he is mine forever
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth
Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is
Lost and foolish, off I strayed
But yet in love he sought me
And on his shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me
In death’s dark veil, I fear no ill
With thee dear Lord beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me
Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah
Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high, or in the valley low
The king of love my shepherd is
The king of love my shepherd is
And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never
Good shepherd may I sing your praise
Within your house forever
Within your house forever

Sermon
“The Restraining Power of the Spirit”
1 Corinthians 9:23-27
Prayer of Confession
God, our Father,
“compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love”
have mercy on us and forgive.
Our sin is ever before us,
and our righteousness is in Christ alone.
Take our broken offerings of praise
and make them acceptable in your sight,
that you may be glorified and known.
Make us a redeeming presence
of your grace and goodness and peace,
in this world you created to be good,
until heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
The scriptures call Jesus “The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.” This is as true today as it was when it was first written, so be encouraged.
The Lord’s Supper
Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary’s mountain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross, O Lamb of God
Bring its scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o’er me
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
