God With Us
You’ve come to bring peace, to be love
To be nearer to us

You’ve come to bring life, to be light
To shine brighter in us
O Emmanuel, God with us

Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us

You’ve come to be hope to this world
For your honor and name

You’ve come to take sin, to bear shame
And to conquer the grave
O Emmanuel, God with us

Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us

You are here, you are holy
We are standing in your glory

You are here, you are holy
We are standing in your glory, Lord

Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us…

Our Deliverer, you are Savior
In your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our redemption
God with us, you are God with us

God with us, you are God with us

Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My Anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless, to stand before the throne

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — God Provides
God provides, so why do I worry about my life
When you come to my rescue a thousand times
Every other voice it is a lie
God provides

God provides, in ways I can’t explain and can’t deny
The little that I have, he multiplies
Just when I feel he won’t show up on time
God provides

He’ll come through
When the clouds of doubt rain down on you
And test everything you thought you knew
Now you finally see what God can do for you

So tonight
Close your eyes, there’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide

God provides
It’s hard to say when there’s no food to eat
Or what you see feels all that life will be
And will this be another year of misery for me

But my faith, can’t survive on just things I see
And my feelings can’t control my destiny
See God, I only want what you believe for me

So tonight
Close your eyes, there’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide

(God provides)
He will provide
(God provides)
Before your eyes
(God provides)
He will, he will
(God provides)

(So tonight)
Close your eyes, there’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide

(God provides)
He will provide
(God provides)
Before your eyes
(God provides)
Whatever you need, I know that he will provide

(God provides)
Yes, he’ll step right in in the nick of time, yes he will
(God provides)
He’ll open the windows of heaven
And pour you out a blessing
(God provides)
You won’t have room to receive, yeah

So tonight
Close your eyes, there’s no more need to fight
Watch God provide

Uncreated One
Holy uncreated One
Your beauty fills the skies
But the glory of your majesty
Is the mercy in your eyes

Worthy uncreated One
From heaven to earth come down
You laid aside your royalty
To wear the sinner’s crown

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Jesus Savior, God’s own Son
Risen reigning Lord
Sustainer of the universe
By the power of your word

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

And when we see your matchless face
In speechless awe we’ll stand
And there we’ll bow with grateful hearts
Unto the great I AM

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

O great God, be glorified
Our lives laid down, yours magnified
O great God, be lifted high
There is none like you

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

John Newton, 1779; Tune, AMAZING GRACE, traditional American melody CCLi 241710

 

Sermon
“If He’s the One, Why Keep Looking for Another?”
Zechariah 4:6, 2 Chronicles 7:13–15, & Revelation 5:9–10

 

Prayer of Confession
Most holy and merciful Father,
we confess to you and to one another,
that we have sinned against you
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our
whole heart and mind and strength.
We have not fully loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We have not always had in us the mind of Christ.
You alone know how often we have grieved you
by wasting your gifts, and by wandering from your ways.
Forgive us, we pray;
and free us from our sin.
Renew in us the grace and strength of your Holy Spirit,
for the sake of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

— adapted from Psalter Hymnal, Grand Rapids: CRC Publications, 1987

 

Assurance of Pardon
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness, that you may be feared.

—Psalm 130:3-4

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Come To Me
Weary burdened wanderer
There is rest for thee
At the feet of Jesus
In his love so free

Listen to his message
Words of life, forever blessed
O, thou heavy laden
Come to me, come and rest

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Bring him all thy burdens
All thy guilt and sin
Mercy’s door is open
Rise up and enter

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Jesus there is waiting
Patiently for thee
Hear him gently calling
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”
“Come, oh, come to me”

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below

Amen
