Call to Worship
Praise the Lord!
Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
—Psalm 106:1
O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread his praise from shore to shore
How he loveth, ever loveth
Changeth never, never more
How he watches o’er his loved ones
Died to call them all his own
How for them he intercedeth
Watcheth o’er them from the throne
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Love of every love the best
’Tis an ocean vast of blessing
‘Tis a haven sweet of rest
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
‘Tis a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to thee
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To thy glorious rest above

Lift up your gaze, be lifted up
Tell everyone how great the love
The love come down from heaven’s gate
To kiss the earth with hope and grace
Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Lift up your hands, be lifted up
Let the redeemed declare the love
We bow down at heaven’s gate
To kiss the feet of hope and grace
Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
There is one God, he is holy
There is one Lord over everything
There is one King, he is Jesus

What heart could hold the weight of your love
And know the heights of your great worth
What eyes could look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Your name alone has pow’r to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy

And you will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like you, God
You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Who shall we say you are?

Sermon
“How to Find a Life — ‘Whoever Loses his Life for My Sake will Find it”
Matthew 16:24-28
Prayer of Confession
Glorious God and King,
worthy of worship, wonder and praise.
You have “delivered us
from the domain of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom
of your beloved Son.”
Have mercy on us and forgive our sins.
Turn our hearts to you,
and break our hearts for our world.
Grant us courage to follow Christ
in the way of the Cross.
Teach us to live in the promise
of what will one day be,
when heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
In Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
— 2 Corinthians 5:19
The Lord’s Supper
O Sacred Head
O sacred Head, now wounded
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns thine only crown
O sacred Head
What glory, what bliss till now was thine
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy
I joy to call thee mine
What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners’ gain
All mine was the transgression
But thine the deadly pain
Lo, here I fall, my Savior
Tis I deserve thy place
Look on me with thy favor, vouchsafe
Vouchsafe to me thy grace
My Savior, be thou near me
When death is at my door
Then let thy presence cheer me
Forsake me nevermore
When soul and body languish
Oh, leave me not alone
But take away mine anguish by virtue of thine
Of thine own
What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend
For this thy dying sorrow
Thy pity without end
O make me thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me ne’er, never outlive my love
My love to thee
