Call to Worship
My God is my rock—I take refuge in him!—
he’s my shield and my salvation’s strength,
my place of safety and my shelter.
He shows faithful love to his anointed ones.
Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.
—based on 2 Samuel 22
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
Edward Mote 1834, Tune, SOLID ROCK, William B. Bradbury CCLI 241710
Rejoice
Come and stand before your Maker
Full of wonder, full of fear
Come behold his power and glory
Yet with confidence draw near
For the one who holds the heavens
And commands the stars above
Is the God who bends to bless us
With an unrelenting love
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
We are children of the promise
The beloved of the Lord
Won with everlasting kindness
Bought with sacrificial blood
Bringing reconciliation
To a world that longs to know
The affections of a Father
Who will never let them go
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice
All our sickness, all our sorrows
Jesus carried up the hill
He has walked this path before us
He is walking with us still
Turning tragedy to triumph
Turning agony to praise
There is blessing in the battle
So take heart and stand amazed
Rejoice!
When you cry to him
He hears your voice
He will wipe away your tears
Rejoice!
In the midst of suffering
He will help you sing…
Rejoice!
Come and lift your hands
And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise
Rejoice!
Sing the mercies of your King
And with trembling, rejoice

The sound of angels awe
The sound of angels songs

O, how constant how divine
This love of ours will rise, will rise…

The sound of rescued ones
And all this for a King

All for Christ our King
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy
O praise him, O praise him

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Reckless Love
Before I spoke a word
You were singing over me
You have been so so good to me
Before I took a breath
You breathed your life in me
You have been so so kind to me
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God
O it chases me down,
Fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it,
I don’t deserve, still you give yourself away
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God
When I was your foe
Still your love fought for me
You have been so so good to me
When I felt no worth
You paid it all for me
You have been so so kind to me
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God
O it chases me down,
Fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it,
I don’t deserve, still you give yourself away
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God
There’s no shadow you won’t light up
Mountain you won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall you won’t kick down
Lie you won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow you won’t light up
Mountain you won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall you won’t kick down
Lie you won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow you won’t light up
Mountain you won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall you won’t kick down
Lie you won’t tear down
Coming after me
There’s no shadow you won’t light up
Mountain you won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall you won’t kick down
Lie you won’t tear down
Coming after me
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God
O it chases me down,
Fights ’til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it,
I don’t deserve, still you give yourself away
O the overwhelming,
Never-ending, reckless love of God

Sermon
“What Will You Leave? — David & Solomon”
1 Kings 2:1-12
Prayer of Confession
Blessed are the poor in spirit
but we are rich in pride.
Blessed are those who mourn
but we feel no sorrow for our sin.
Blessed are the meek
but we are arrogant and brash.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness
but we crave to be filled with other things.
Blessed are the merciful
but we are impatient and unforgiving.
Blessed are the pure in heart
but our hearts stray.
Blessed are the peacemakers
but we stir up conflict and dissension.
Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness
but our lives and actions seek worldly comfort.
Blessed are those who are insulted, oppressed,
and falsely spoken against, all because of me.
but we fail to make it known that we are yours.
Your Law is holy and your Word is life,
but they are both too great for us.
We plead with you to forgive our sins
and give us the blessing of your righteousness.
Through Jesus. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,
and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
— Psalm 31:1-2
The Lord’s Supper
No Other Name
One name holds weight above them all
His fame outlasts the earth he formed
His praise resounds beyond the stars
And echoes in our hearts
The greatest one of all
His face shines brighter than the sun
His grace as boundless as his love
He reigns with healing in his wings
The King above all kings
The greatest One of all
Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Find hope when all the world seems lost
Behold the triumph of the cross
His power has trampled death and grave
Our life found in his name
The greatest name of all
Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
The earth will shake and tremble before him
Chains will break as heaven and earth sing
Holy is the name
Holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
The earth will shake and tremble before him
Chains will break as heaven and earth sing
Holy is the name
Holy is the name of Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
Lift up our eyes see the King has come
Light of the world reaching out for us
There is no other name
There is no other name
Jesus Christ our God
Seated on high the undefeated One
Mountains bow down as we lift him up
There is no other name
There is no other name
There is no other name
There is no other name, Jesus
