Call to Worship
I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever;
with my mouth I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.
I declare that your steadfast love is established forever;
your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
—Psalm 89:1-2
Thy Mercy
Thy mercy, my God
Is the theme of my song
The joy of my heart
And the boast of my tongue
Thy free grace alone
From the first to the last
Hath won my affection
And bound my soul fast
Without thy sweet mercy
I could not live here
Sin would reduce me
To utter despair
But through thy free goodness
My spirit’s revived
And he that first made me
Still keeps me alive
Thy mercy is more
Than a match for my heart
Which wonders to feel
Its own hardness depart
Dissolved by thy goodness
I fall to the ground
And weep for the praise
Of the mercy I’ve found
Great Father of mercies
Thy goodness I own
In the covenant love
Of thy crucified Son
All praise to the Spirit
Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy and pardon
And righteousness mine
All praise to the Spirit
Whose whisper divine…
Seals mercy and pardon
And righteousness mine

O Worship the King
O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love
Our Shield and Defender
The Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise
O tell of his might
O sing of his grace
Whose robe is the light
Whose canopy space
His chariots of wrath
The deep thunderclouds form
And dark is his path
On the wings of the storm
You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light
O measureless might
Ineffable love
While angels delight
To worship above
Thy mercies, how tender
How firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender
Redeemer, and Friend
You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light
You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty
Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light
O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love
Our shield and defender
The ancient of days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

This is Amazing Grace
Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory, the King of Glory
Who rules the nations with truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory, the King above all kings
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That you would take my place
That you would bear my cross
You laid down your life
That I would be set free
O, Jesus I sing for all that you’ve done for me

Praise the Father, Praise the Son
O sovereign God, O matchless King
The saints adore, the angels sing
And fall before the throne of grace
To you belongs the highest praise
These sufferings, this passing tide
Under your wings I will abide
And every enemy shall flee
You are my hope and victory
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
To the valley for my soul
Your great descent has made me whole
Your word my heart has welcomed home
Now peace like water ever flows
O praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever
Yours is the kingdom
Yours is the power
Yours is the glory, forever
Praise the Father, praise the Son
Praise the Spirit, Three in One
Clothed in power, and in grace
The name above all other names
The name above all other names

Sermon
“But You Are Rich”
Revelation 2:8-11
Prayer of Confession
Almighty God, we enter your presence humbly,
aware that we approach you from a world
that chooses to walk in darkness, apart from you.
Each one of us has ignored and even denied
the enlightening power of Jesus Christ.
We confess now our sins to you,
God of power and might.
Penetrate our darkness by the power of Christ’s light,
that we may live in the joy of knowing
and loving you and each other.
We pray through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
“He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.”
— Colossians 1:13-14
The Lord’s Supper
Break Bread
Let us break bread together on our knees
Let us break bread together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Let us drink wine together on our knees
Let us drink wine together on our knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Let us praise God together on our knees
Let us praise God together on out knees
When I fall on my knees, with my face to the rising sun
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
Oh Lord, have mercy on me
