Welcome & Announcements

 

Call to Worship
There is no one like the God of Israel.
He rides across the heavens to help you,
across the skies in majestic splendor.
The eternal God is your refuge,
and his everlasting arms are under you.

—Deuteronomy 33:26-27

 

Leaning on the Everlasting Arms
What a fellowship, what a joy divine
Leaning on the everlasting arms
What a blessedness, what a peace is mine
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

O how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way
Leaning on the everlasting arms
O how bright the path grows from day to day
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

What have I to dread, what have I to fear
Leaning on the everlasting arms
I have blessed peace with my Lord so near
Leaning on the everlasting arms

Leaning, leaning
Safe and secure from all alarms
Leaning, leaning
Leaning on the everlasting arms

O Praise Him
Turn your ear to Heaven
And hear the noise inside
The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs

And all this for a King
We could join and sing
All to Christ the King

How constant, how divine
This song of ours will rise
O, how constant how divine
This love of ours will rise, will rise…

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

Turn your gaze to Heaven
And raise a joyous noise
The sound of salvation come
The sound of rescued ones

And all this for a King
Angels join to sing
All for Christ our King

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

How infinite and sweet
This love so rescuing
O, how infinitely sweet
This great love that has redeemed
As one, we sing…

Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

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

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

Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is he

Sing a new song to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder

Blessing and honor
Strength and glory and power be
To you, the only wise King

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name

Jesus your name is power
Breath and living water
Such a marvelous myst’ry……

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of kings
You are my ev’rything and I will adore you

Sermon
‘Your Treasure’ — “No One Can Serve Two Masters”
Matthew 6:19-24

 

Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven,
we take refuge in you through Jesus.
Forgive our many sins.
Search our hearts and heal our ways.
Lead us in paths of righteousness,
and restore our souls.
Have mercy on us and make us a merciful people.
Enable us to love as Christ has loved,
beyond our comforts and in spite of our fears.
That you may receive the honor and praise you deserve.
Until heaven and earth are one.
Through Jesus. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
This is what the Lord Himself says to those who turn to him in faith, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool”

— from Isaiah 1:18

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Testify
Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain and you can be satisfied

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

Into the wild, i wander from you
Oh, there’s a world to fall into

My heart is weak, but your love is strong
Oh, I will give myself to you
Please help me start, to let go

Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain and you can be satisfied

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

Wave after wave, as deep calls to deep
Oh, your love is a mystery
Please help me start, to let go

Give me your heart, give me your song
Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain and you can be satisfied

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

Mist on the mountain
Rising from the ground
There’s no denying beauty makes a sound

We can’t escape it
There’s no way to doubt
Mist on the mountain, rising all around

Give me your heart, give me your song Sing it with all your might
Come to the fountain and you can be satisfied

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify

There is a peace, there is a love
You can get lost inside
Come to the fountain and let me hear you testify
