Worship – September 4, 2016

Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.

Blessed be his glorious name forever;
may the whole earth be filled with his glory!
Amen and Amen!

—Psalm 72:18-19

 

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
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

Glory
The mountains standing in your strength
The oceans roaring out your praise
All creation glorifies your name

The angels bow before your throne
The heavens shine for you alone
All creation glorifies your name
All creation glorifies your name

Singing — holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Almighty, worthy, all the earth is filled
With your glory, glory
We give you glory, glory

In your hands you hold the universe
At your feet, nations of the earth
All creation glorifies your name
All creation glorifies your name

Singing — holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Almighty, worthy, all the earth is filled
With your glory, glory
We give you glory, glory

Blessing, honor, glory, power
All our praise is yours forever

Blessing, honor, glory, power
All our praise is yours forever

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord
Almighty, worthy, all the earth is filled
With your glory, glory
We give you glory, glory

Children Dismissed for Children’s Church

 

Sermon
“Broken & Poured Out – The Church as Sacrament to the World”
1 Corinthians 11:23-32

 

Prayer of Confession
Gracious and merciful Father,
awesome and exalted, abounding in love.
Fill us with the wonder and praise,
that you alone deserve.
Forgive our sin and renew our spirits.
Break us of sinful pride and unbelief,
and pour us out a healed people,
that reflects the passion and humility of Christ,
to a wounded humanity and fallen world.
Until heaven and earth are one,
and all things are made new.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

—Isaiah 55:7

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Dear Refuge of my Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

But oh! When gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee
Though prostrate in the dust

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain

No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Jesus Died My Soul to Save
I stand amazed at your love for me
That lonely night in Gethsemane
This sinner’s heart can’t help but thrill
To hear you pray, “Father, not my will”

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

Atonement full, applied to me
The blood that spilled at Calvary
Has swallowed all my sin and shame
I’m reconciled, in Jesus’ name

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save

O such pleasure, O such pain
The Father’s wrath and fury laid
On Christ whom saints and angels praise
Jesus died my soul to save

Come you broken, bound by sin
And let your weary journey end
Come and lay your burdens down
Where mercy rules and peace abounds

What depth of love, what reach of grace
O, how my grateful heart now aches
To sing it louder, the refrain
Jesus died my soul to save
Jesus died my soul to save

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
