And to conquer the grave

The Solid Rock
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
When darkness veils his lovely face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
When he shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ the solid rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

Sermon
“The Church is…A Refugee Camp”
1 Kings 19:1-18
Prayer of Confession
Father we know the heavy burdens of life
are too much for us to carry.
But instead of coming to you,
we turn to other things to make us feel good
and help us forget.
We cut ourselves off from you and from others,
and pretend that all is well.
But all is not well.
We cannot live apart from you.
We confess to you our attempts to be independent,
and ask you to forgive us,
and receive us once again into your arms.
Through Jesus we pray. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
“When we were overwhelmed by sins, God forgave our transgressions.”
—Psalm 65:3
The Lord’s Supper
Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea
But that thy blood was shed for me
And that thou bidst me come to thee
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, and waiting not
To rid my soul of one dark blot
To thee whose blood can cleanse each spot
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, though tossed about
With many conflicts, many doubts
Fightings and fears within, without
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, thou will receive
Will welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve
because thy promise I believe
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Just as I am, thy love unknown
Hath broken every barrier down
Now, to be thine, yea thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come, I come
Charlotte Elliott, 1836, Tune, WOODWORTH, William B. Bradbury, CCLI 241710
