WORSHIP – September 30, 2018

O Come to the Altar
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin

Jesus is calling

Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well

Jesus is calling

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today, there’s no reason to wait

Jesus is calling

Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born

Jesus is calling

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O, what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful

Sing alleluia
Christ is risen

Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all

Sing alleluia
Christ is risen

O, what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful

Sing alleluia
Christ is risen

Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all

Sing alleluia
Christ is risen

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide

Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Come Thou Fount
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above

Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither to thy help I’ve come

And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home

Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God

He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood

Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be

Let thy grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love

Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace

Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Sermon
“No Day Like It”
Joshua 10:1-15

 

Prayer of Confession
You, O Lord, are a merciful Father,
who has compassion on all
who flee to you in repentance and faith.
Mercifully forgive our transgressions;
receive us and comfort us,
we who are grieved and weary
of the burden of our sins.
Fill us with your Spirit,
who delights to declare again and again
the mystery of the Gospel to our struggling hearts.
Take away our guilt and help us look to Jesus,
the One who washes our sin away
and makes us your own.
Hear the cry of our hearts,
in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
God does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who put their faith in him.

—based on Psalm 103:12
The Lord’s Supper

 

How Deep the Father’s Love
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure

That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon his shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

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

Thomas Ken, Tune – OLD HUNDREDTH, Genevan Psalter (1551) attr. to Louis Bourgeois
