King of Glory
Lift up your gaze, be lifted up
Tell everyone how great the love
The love come down from heaven’s gate
To kiss the earth with hope and grace

Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty

Lift up your hands, be lifted up
Let the redeemed declare the love
We bow down at heaven’s gate
To kiss the feet of hope and grace

Sing, who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty
Who is this King of glory?
The Lord, strong and mighty

There is one God, he is holy
There is one Lord over everything
There is one King, he is Jesus

A Mighty Fortress
A mighty fortress is our God
A bulwark never failing
Our helper he, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing

For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work us woe
His craft and power are great
And, armed with cruel hate
On earth is not his equal

Did we in our own strength confide
Our striving would be losing
Were not the right man on our side
The man of God’s own choosing

Dost ask who that may be
Christ Jesus, it is he
Lord Sabaoth, his name
From age to age the same
And he must win the battle

And though this world, with devils filled
Should threaten to undo us
We will not fear, for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us

The Prince of Darkness grim
We tremble not for him
His rage we can endure
For lo, his doom is sure
One little word shall fell him

That word above all earthly powers
No thanks to them, abideth
The Spirit and the gifts are ours
Through him who with us sideth

Let goods and kindred go
This mortal life also
The body they may kill
God’s truth abideth still
His kingdom is forever

Martin Luther, Frederick H. Hedge © Public Domain CCLI 241710

Gifts – As Sure As The Sun
There is good news
There is good truth
That you could never change
No matter what you do

You are loved
More than you know
More than you could hope for
After everything you’ve done

As sure as the sun will rise
And chase away the night
His mercy will not end
His mercy will not end

There is good news
There’s a promise
That no matter where you go
You will never be alone

In the dark
In the doubting
When you can’t feel anything
Oh, his love remains the same

As sure as the sun will rise
And chase away the night
His mercy will not end
His mercy will not end

Even through the night
Silver stars will shine
Hope of glory’s light
That will wake us once again

As sure as the sun will rise
And chase away the night
As sure as the sun will rise
His mercy will not end
His mercy will not end

Holy
What heart could hold the weight of your love
And know the heights of your great worth
What eyes could look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun

Your name alone has pow’r to raise us
Your light will shine when all else fades
Our eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

And you will come again in glory
To judge the living and the dead
All eyes will look on your glorious face
Shining like the sun
Who is like you, God

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

Who shall we say you are?
You’re the living God

Who shall we say you are?
You’re the Great I AM

The highest name of all
You’re all you say you are

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

You are holy, holy, holy
God most high and God most worthy
You are holy, holy, holy
Jesus you are, Jesus you are
Jesus you are, Jesus you are

Call to Worship
O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you;
my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you,
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary,
beholding your power and glory.

Because your steadfast love is better than life,
my lips will praise you.

—Psalm 63:1-3

 

Jesus I Come
Out of my bondage, sorrow and night
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come
Into thy freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of my sickness into thy health
Out of my wanting and into thy wealth
Out of my sin and into thyself
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of my shameful failure and loss
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the glorious gain of thy cross
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of earth’s sorrows into thy balm
Out of life’s storms and into thy calm
Out of distress into jubilant psalm
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of unrest and arrogant pride
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into thy blessed will to abide
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of myself to dwell in thy love
Out of despair into raptures above
Upward forever on wings like a dove Jesus, I come to thee

Out of the fear and dread of the tomb
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the joy and light of thy home
Jesus, I come to thee

Out of the depths of ruin untold
Into the peace of thy sheltering fold
Ever thy glorious face to behold
Jesus, I come to thee

Mercy breaking through this moment

“Worthy is your name!”

Baptism {10:30 a.m. service}
The infant being presented for covenant baptism this morning is George Keith Hayward, covenant son of Noah and Keisha Hayward and brother to Ella Hayward.

 

One and Only
Who spoke and taught the sun to rise
Whose lips proclaimed the birth of light
Who sparked the kindling of stars
And set the fire in our hearts

Who sang as planets learned their dance
Who poured the oceans from his hands
Whose breath awakened life from dust
And leaves me breathless at his touch

Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Who is this man upon a cross
Who left his throne to ransom us
Who died to save us at our worst
And rose to give us heaven’s best
You rose to give us heaven’s best

Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours

My Savior, Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

We will watch the bridegroom come
And heaven breaking like the dawn
All dressed in white, our shame is gone
We’re free to dance before your throne

Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours

My Jesus, one and only
Great and holy, we are yours
How our hearts race at your glory
Lord almighty, we are yours and yours alone

Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
O God my Father
There is no shadow
Of turning with thee

Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not

Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed

Join with all nature
In manifold witness

Sermon
Seemingly Harmless – David & Bathsheba
2 Samuel 11

 

Prayer of Confession
God and Father,
you have given us every good gift in Jesus.
Despite this, we are not content.
We see with our eyes and covet with our hearts,
wanting that which is not good.
When confronted with our sin,
we choose to be consumed with shame and guilt,
rather than accepting the sufficiency of the cross.
Forgive us and transform our hearts with your unfailing love,
that we might find rest and contentment in you.
Through Jesus we pray, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

—Isaiah 55:7

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Be Still My Soul
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to your God to order and provide
In every change, he faithful will remain

Be still, my soul
Your best, your heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Be still, my soul your God will undertake
To guide the future, as he has the past
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last

Be still, my soul
The waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them
While he dwelt below

Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored

Be still, my soul
When change and tears are past
All safe and bless-ed we shall meet at last

Katharina A. von Schlegel, 1752 translated by Jane L. Borthwick, 1855.
Tune FINLANDIA Jean Sibelius, 1899 CCLI 241710

 

Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise him, all creatures here below
Praise him above, ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Amen

This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world
And to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings
The music of the spheres

This is my Father’s world
I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas
His hand the wonders wrought

This is my Father’s world
The birds their carols raise
The morning light, the lily white
Declare their maker’s praise

This is my Father’s world
He shines in all that’s fair
In the rustling grass I hear him pass
He speaks to me everywhere

This is my Father’s world
O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong
God is the ruler yet

This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

This is my Father’s world
Why should my heart be sad
The Lord is King, let the heavens ring
God reigns, let the earth be glad

Gifts — House of God Forever
God is my shepherd
I won’t be wanting, I won’t be wanting
He makes me rest
In fields of green with quiet streams

Even though I walk
Through the valley of death and dying
I will not fear
Because you are with me
You are with me

Your shepherd’s staff comforts me
You are my feast in the presence of enemies
Surely goodness will follow me
Follow me in the house of God forever

God is my shepherd
I won’t be wanting, I won’t be wanting

You’re always with me

Your shepherd’s staff comforts me
You are my feast in the presence of enemies
Surely goodness will follow me
Follow me in the house of God forever

Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy *catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

 

Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee

Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed trinity

Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the eye of sinful man
Thy glory may not see

Only thou art holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea

Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed trinity
God in three persons, blessed trinity

Sermon
A Place at the Table — David & Mephibosheth
2 Samuel 9

 

Prayer of Confession
Lord God, we are sinful.
Our hearts are cold, our faith is shallow,
and in our arrogance, we deny our need of you.
Have mercy and forgive us, for Jesus’ sake.
Warm our hearts with your love, give us your restoring grace,
and make us a people who find their identity in belonging to you.
Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Savior. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.

— Micah 7:18

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

In Christ Alone
In Christ alone, my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground his body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave he rose again

And as he stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am his and he is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from his hand
‘Til he returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Keith Getty, Stuart Townend © 2001 Thankyou Music CCLI 241710

Nothing compares to this
What a beautiful name it is, the name of Jesus

You didn’t want heaven without us
So Jesus, you brought heaven down
My sin was great, your love was greater
What could separate us now

What a wonderful name it is
What a wonderful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ, my King

What a wonderful name it is
Nothing compares to this
What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus
What a wonderful name it is, the name of Jesus

Death could not hold you
The veil tore before you
You silenced the boast of sin and grave

The heavens are roaring
The praise of your glory
For you are raised to life again

You have no rival
You have no equal
Now and forever, God you reign

Yours is the Kingdom
Yours is the glory
Yours is the name above all names

What a powerful name it is
What a powerful name it is
The name of Jesus Christ, my King

What a powerful name it is
Nothing can stand against
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus
What a powerful name it is, the name of Jesus

Sermon
“No Room for Error — David & Uzzah”
2 Samuel 6:1-16

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess our sins to you.
You call us to think on what is pure –
but our thoughts are impure.
You ask for words that build up and heal –
but we speak words that tear down and hurt.
You require that we serve others –
but we serve only ourselves.
In every way, we fall short of your glory.
But in Jesus you have made us holy.
Forgive our sins, we pray.
Cleanse our thoughts, heal our lips,
give us power to love by your Holy Spirit.
We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.

— Isaiah 43:25

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Be Thou My Vision
Be thou my vision
O Lord of my heart
Naught be all else to me
Save that thou art

Thou my best thought
By day or by night
Waking or sleeping
Thy presence my light

Be thou my wisdom
And thou my true word
I ever with thee
And thou with me, Lord

Thou my great Father
I thy true son
Thou in me dwelling
And I with thee one

Riches I heed not
Nor man’s empty praise
Thou mine inheritance
Now and always

Thou and thou only
First in my heart
High King of heaven
My treasure thou art

High King of heaven
My victory won
May I reach heaven’s joys
O bright heav’ns Son

Heart of my own heart
Whatever befall
Still be my vision
O ruler of all

Praise God from whom all blessings flow
