Call to Worship
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
Let Israel say:
“His love endures forever.”
Let the house of Aaron say:
“His love endures forever.”
Let those who fear the Lord say:
“His love endures forever.”
You are my God, and I will praise you;
you are my God, and I will exalt you.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever.
—based on Psalm 118
O For a Thousand
O, for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of his grace
Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace
He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoners free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
He speaks and listening to his voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of thy name
Charles Wesley, 1739. Tune, AZMON, Carl G. Glaser, 1784-1829; adapt. Lowell Mason, 1839
Lion and the Lamb
He’s coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
Every chain will break
As broken hearts declare his praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him
Open up the gate
Make way before the King of kings
The God who comes to save
Is here to set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord Almighty?
Who can stop the Lord?
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring in power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before him

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — O God Forgive Us
We’ve prayed the prayer with no reply
Words float off into the night
Couldn’t cut our doubt with the sharpest knife
Oh, oh God forgive us
Silence isn’t comfortable
We want drive through peace and instant hope
Our shallow faith, it has left us broke
Oh, oh God forgive us
Oh, oh God forgive us
Enslaved to our uncertainty
Help us with our unbelief
Oh, oh God forgive us
Young and old black and white
We’re rich and poor there’s no divide
Hear the mighty, hear the powerless, singing
Oh, oh God forgive us
Oh, oh God forgive us
Enslaved to our uncertainty
Help us with our unbelief
Oh, oh God forgive us
With our white flag sailing in the night
Eyes pointed to the sky
Hands up and open wide, open wide
With our white flag sailing in the night
Eyes pointed to the sky
Hands up and open wide, open wide
Oh, oh God forgive us
Enslaved to our uncertainty
Help us with our unbelief
Oh, oh God forgive us

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)
And when I think that God
His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)
When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim
“My God, how great thou art”
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
(repeat)

Sermon
“Your Greatest Reality — David & Goliath”
1 Samuel 17:19-51
Prayer of Confession
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight;
so you are right in your verdict
and justified when you judge.
—Psalm 51:1-4
Assurance of Pardon
“Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean; wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.”
—Psalm 51:7
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
There is freedom, taste and see
Hear the call, “Come to me”
Run into his arms of grace
Your burden carried, he will take
