Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
I will give to the Lord the thanks due to his righteousness,
and I will sing praise to the name of the Lord, the Most High.

—Psalm 7:17

Enough
All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You are my supply, my breath of life
Still more awesome than I know
You are my reward, worth living for
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

You’re my sacrifice of greatest price
Still more awesome than I know
You’re my coming King, you are ev’rything
Still more awesome than I know

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you…

More than all I want
More than all I need
You are more than enough for me

More than all I know
More than all I can say
You are more than enough

All of you is more than enough for all of me
For ev’ry thirst and ev’ry need
You satisfy me with your love
And all I have in you is more than enough

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, 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

Nothing But the Blood
What can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

For my pardon, this I see
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
For my cleansing, this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Nothing can for sin atone
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Naught of good that I have done
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

This is all my hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

O, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Holy, holy is he

Sing a new song to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing

Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder

Strength and glory and power be
To you, the only wise King

Who was, and is, and is to come

With all creation I sing

Sermon
“Blessing our Persecutors”
Romans 12:14-21

Prayer of Confession
Lord, you are our Shepherd, yet we still want.
You promise us rest, but we refuse to be still.
You are our Righteousness, but we look to our own works.
You are with us, but we live in fear,
Forgive us for not trusting your promises.
Cause us to embrace your goodness and mercy,
that we may truly believe you are enough.
In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand? But with you there is forgiveness, so that we can, with reverence, serve you.

— Psalm 130:3-4

The Lord’s Supper

Come As You Are
Come out of sadness from wherever you’ve been
Come broken-hearted, let rescue begin
Come find your mercy, O sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table, come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary, rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are, come as you are
Fall in his arms, come as you are

There’s joy for the morning, O sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow that heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens, lay down your shame
All who are broken, lift up your face
O wanderer come home, you’re not too far
So lay down your hurt, lay down your heart

Come as you are

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

WORSHIP – May 27, 2018

Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
Because your love is better than life,
my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live,
and in your name I will lift up my hands.

—Psalm 63:3-4

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

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

God You Reign
You paint the night
You count the stars
And you call them by name
The skies proclaim, ‘God you reign’

Your glory shines
You teach the sun
When to bring a new day
Creation sings, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

You part the seas
You move the mountains
With the words that you say
My song remains, ‘God you reign’

You hold my life
You know my heart
And you call me by name
I live to say, ‘God you reign’

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

God you reign
God you reign
Forever and ever
God you reign

Hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, hallelu

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts — It Is Well
Grander earth has quaked before
Moved by the sound of his voice

Seas that are shaken and stirred
Can be calmed and broken for my regard

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me

Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can’t see

And this mountain that’s in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me

So let go my soul and trust in him
The waves and wind still know his name

The waves and wind still know his name

It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
Through it all, through it all it is well

Through it all, through it all my eyes are on you
And it is well with me

Unto Your Name
Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Your riches exchanged for a cross
You carried for us

Matchless in gracious compassion
Mighty in power to save
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God

Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all

Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God

Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all

The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good

The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good
You alone are good

Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all

Sermon
“Because We Are His”
Romans 12:9-13

Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess to you and to one another
that we have sinned by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have failed to love you
with our whole heart, mind, and strength.
We have failed to love our neighbors as ourselves.
We have chosen selfish desires instead of living for you.
Instead of drinking from your Living Water,
we attempt to satisfy ourselves, and are left thirsty and empty.
Forgive and renew us by the grace and power of your Holy Spirit.
Through Jesus, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.

— I John 2:1-2

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

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

Cornerstone
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly trust in Jesus’ name

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My Anchor holds within the veil

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless, to stand before the throne

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love
Through the storm he is Lord
Lord of all

Recognition of Graduates

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts — Far Kingdom
There is a far kingdom
A ways from here
Beyond the storm and the sea

There will be no need of darkness
And none for tears
When that far kingdom I see

There’s a river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King

And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom

There is a far kingdom
On the other side of the glass
And by a faint light we see

Still there is more gladness
Longing for the sight
Than to behold or be filled, by anything

There’s a river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King

And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom

There is a far, far kingdom
There at the end of the sea
Where they know my name

And until that far, far kingdom
Calls me home
Oh, my soul, I will wait

For the river we will know
Ever clear and ever full
From the fount that overflows
In the light of the King

And when we drink it we will find
That this joy, ever full, will ever rise
And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom

And it’ll rise on, in the kingdom
In the kingdom

Baptism {9 a.m. service}
Stephanie Lynn Aungst is being baptized this morning upon her profession of faith.

New Members Welcome

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

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

Sermon
“All the Difference”
Romans 12:9-13

Prayer of Confession
God, we cannot hide our sin from you,
for you know our hearts.
You know that our zeal for you wavers.
You know that we are more passionate
about our agenda than your kingdom.
You know that we pursue our goals and desires,
while ignoring the people you’ve placed around us.
Yet despite all of this, still you love us.
So we come now, boldly asking you to forgive us, through Jesus.
Let his death cover us, and his resurrection restore us to life with you.
In Jesus’ name, Amen

Assurance of Pardon
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.

— Hebrews 4:14-16

The Lord’s Supper

Come Boldly to the Throne of Grace
Come boldly to the throne of grace
Ye wretched sinners come
And lay your load at Jesus’ feet
And plead what he has done

How can I come, some soul may say
I’m lame and cannot walk
My guilt and sin have stopped my mouth
I sigh, but dare not talk

Come boldly to the throne of grace
Though lost, and blind, and lame
Jehovah is the sinner’s friend
And ever was the same

He makes the dead to hear his voice
He makes the blind to see
The sinner lost he came to save
And set the prisoner free

Come boldly to the throne of grace
For Jesus fills the throne
And those he kills he makes alive
He hears the sigh or groan

Poor bankrupt souls, who feel and know
The hell of sin within
Come boldly to the throne of grace
The Lord will take you in, take you in

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

I’ve heard a thousand stories
Of what they think you’re like
But I’ve heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
And you tell me that you’re pleased
And that I’m never alone

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

I’ve seen many searching
For answers, far and wide
But I know we’re all searching
For answers only you provide
Cause you know just what we need
Before we say a word

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us

Love so undeniable I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love

You’re a good, good Father, it’s who you are
It’s who you are, it’s who you are
And I’m loved by you, it’s who I am
It’s who I am, it’s who I am

Sermon
“The Power to Love Genuinely”
Romans 12:9-13

Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess that we have sinned against you
and others in thought, word, motive, and deed.
We are unworthy and offer no excuse.
But on the merit of Christ alone, you have declared us righteous,
and invite us to flee to him in repentance and faith.
We marvel that in spite of our flaws and failures,
you pour mercy and love upon us.
Freshly fill us with your Spirit.
Grant us grace to consider ourselves dead to sin,
but alive to God in Christ, as we walk before you
and the people you place in our lives.
We ask all of this through your Son, Jesus, and in his name. Amen

Assurance of Pardon
Our assurance of pardon rests in God’s promise that time and again He will have compassion on us; tread our iniquities underfoot and cast all our sins into the depths of the sea, that they may never again be held against us.

— paraphrase of Micah 7:19

The Lord’s Supper

Come Ye Sinners
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power

Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God’s free bounty glorified
True belief in true repentance
And every grace that brings you nigh

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

Come ye weary, heavy laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all

I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in his arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
O, there are ten thousand charms

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

WORSHIP – May 6, 2018

Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
All the nations you have made
will come and worship before you, Lord;
they will bring glory to your name.

For you are great and do marvelous deeds;
you alone are God.

I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart;
I will glorify your name forever.

For great is your love toward me;
you have delivered me from the depths,
from the realm of the dead.

—Psalm 86:9-10, 12-13

Our God Alone
Who formed the mountains
And filled the oceans
Our God alone, our God alone

Who took the dust
And breathed life in us
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who came from heaven
For our redemption
Our God alone, our God alone

Who died for sin
That we may live
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Who rose again
Death could not win
Our God alone, our God alone

Who is returning, bringing a Kingdom
Our God alone, our God alone

We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

And Can It Be
And can it be that I should gain
An interest in the Savior’s blood
Died he for me, who caused his pain
For me, who him to death pursued

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

He left his Father’s throne above
So free, so infinite his grace
Emptied himself of all but love
And bled for Adam’s helpless race

’Tis mercy all, immense and free
For O my God, it found out me

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

Long my imprisoned spirit lay
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light

My chains fell off, my heart was free
I rose, went forth, and followed thee

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

No condemnation now I dread
Jesus, and all in him, is mine
Alive in him, my living head
And clothed in righteousness divine

Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown, through Christ my own

Amazing love! How can it be
That thou, my God, should die for me

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 with 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

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Now revealed in you our Christ

For you are raised to life again

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
The name of Jesus Christ, my King

Nothing can stand against

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

Sermon
“Your Kingdom Come”
Matthew 6:9-13

Prayer of Confession
Eternal God, our Judge and Redeemer,
we confess our sins to you, for we have done wrong.
We have lived for ourselves, apart from you.
We have turned from our neighbors,
refusing to bear their burdens.
We have ignored the pain of the world,
passing by the hungry, poor, and oppressed.
In your great mercy, forgive us, and free us from selfishness,
that we may love those you place along our path.
Through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen

Assurance of Pardon
For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

—Psalm 103:11-12

The Lord’s Supper

Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen

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

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

“The Grace Given to Us”

Prayer of Confession
God in heaven,
you call us to be transformed, but we conform to the world.
You give us hope, but we live in fear.
You offer us new life, but we cling to the old one.
Forgive, cleanse, and renew us.
Transform us by your Spirit, and give us humble hearts
that are filled with love for the world around us.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

Assurance of Pardon
I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you.

— Isaiah 44:22

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

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

WORSHIP – April 22, 2018

Welcome & Announcements

Call to Worship
Praise be to you, Lord,
the God of our father Israel,
from everlasting to everlasting.

Yours, Lord, is the greatness and the power
and the glory and the majesty and the splendor,
for everything in heaven and earth is yours.

Yours, Lord, is the kingdom;
you are exalted as head over all.

Now, our God, we give you thanks,
and praise your glorious name.

—I Chronicles 29:10-11, 13

Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken
Glorious things of thee are spoken
Zion, city of our God
He, whose word cannot be broken
Formed thee for his own abode

On the Rock of Ages founded
What can shake thy sure repose
With salvation’s walls surrounded
Thou mayst smile at all thy foes

See, the streams of living waters
Springing from eternal love
Well supply thy sons and daughters
And all fear of want remove

Who can faint while such a river
Ever will their thirst assuage
Grace which like the Lord, the giver
Never fails from age to age

Blest inhabitants of Zion
Washed in our Redeemer’s blood
Jesus, whom our souls rely on
Makes us monarchs, priests to God

Us, by his great love, he raises
Rulers over self to reign
And as priests his solemn praises
We for thankful offering bring

Savior, if of Zion’s city
I through grace a member am
Let the world deride or pity
I will glory in thy name

Fading is the worldling’s pleasure
All his boasted pomp and show
Solid joys and lasting treasure
None but Zion’s children know

John Newton, Olney Hymns (London: W. Oliver, 1779 Tune, AUSTRIA arr. Franz J. Haydn, 1797, possibly from a Croatian folk melody) CCLI 241710

Blessed Be Your Name
Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I’m found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun’s shining down on me
When the world’s all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out
I’ll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in
Lord still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord blessed be your name

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Glory is Yours
Blessing, honor, strength, and power
Yours alone now and forever
Love this world could never stop
There is no one like our God

Reaching down to touch the broken
Mercy breaking through this moment
Faithful is the one who saves
Worthy is your name

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Throngs and angels watch in wonder
On that day when time is over
Every heart at last proclaim
“Worthy is your name!”

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you
Nobody beside you
There has never been anyone, anything like you

Nobody beside you
There will never be anyone, anything like you
Nobody beside you
There will never be anyone, anything like you

Oh God, the glory is yours
The Kingdom has come and the battle is over
Jesus, in your name we rise
And the glory is yours, the glory is yours

To the fullness of new life
In a moment we’ll be changed

All the Faith You Need

Prayer of Confession
Our Father,
have mercy on us.
We have not sought freedom for the oppressed,
even though you have freed us.
We have not cared for the broken,
even though you have healed us.
We withhold compassion from the needy,
even though you freely gave us your own Son.
We are without excuse – forgive us.
Thank you for Jesus, in whose death and resurrection
we find hope, grace, and forgiveness.
Through Him, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them
and in whose spirit is no deceit.

— Psalm 32:1-2

The Lord’s Supper

O Sacred Head
O sacred Head, now wounded
With grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
With thorns thine only crown

O sacred Head
What glory, what bliss till now was thine
Yet, though despised and gory, I joy
I joy to call thee mine

What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
Was all for sinners’ gain
All mine was the transgression
But thine the deadly pain

Lo, here I fall, my Savior
Tis I deserve thy place
Look on me with thy favor, vouchsafe
Vouchsafe to me thy grace

My Savior, be thou near me
When death is at my door
Then let thy presence cheer me
Forsake me nevermore

When soul and body languish
Oh, leave me not alone
But take away my anguish
By virtue of thine

What language shall I borrow
To thank thee, dearest Friend
For this thy dying sorrow
Thy pity without end

O make me thine forever
And should I fainting be
Lord, let me ne’er outlive my love
Outlive my love to thee

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

You shine in the light

O measureless might
Ineffable love
While angels delight
To worship above

Thy mercies, how tender
How firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender
Redeemer, and Friend

You alone are the matchless King
To you alone be all majesty

Your glories and wonders
What tongue can recite
You breathe in the air
You shine in the light

O worship the King
All glorious above
O gratefully sing
His wonderful love

Our shield and defender
The ancient of days
Pavilioned in splendor
And girded with praise

Great and Mighty King
Your love has rescued us
The cross delivered all our hearts from fear
Our hope is here

You came to make a way
Jesus, you came to raise the dead to life
Our song will rise

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

What do we have to bring
This is our offering, our hearts before
The risen Lord

All power in your name
Jesus, the One who saves, be lifted high
Our song will rise

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

Your glory fills this place
We shout unending praise
Forever hallelujah
Forever hallelujah

O great and mighty King, you reign in majesty
Before your throne we sing holy, holy
O great and mighty King, for all eternity
We bow with heaven and sing holy, holy

Gifts — Lift Your Voice
Blessed are you, weary sinner
The one whose hope is gone
Blessed are all of the broken
God can hear your song

Lift your voice, lift your voice
Lift your voice, lift your voice

We are blind to injustice
We don’t see the part that we play
We’ve grown numb with our privilege
We pass by pain everyday

Open our eyes, open our eyes
Open our eyes, open our eyes

God sends rain on the righteous
The common, the rich, and the poor
Trinity dancing through darkness
God’s love gives hope evermore

Lift your voice, lift your voice
Lift your voice, lift your voice

Welcome all to the table
Every man, woman, and child
Come and feast with thanksgiving
We come and reconcile

Open our hearts, open our hearts
Open our hearts, open our hearts

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
As thou hast been
Thou forever will be

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above

Join with all nature
In manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness
Mercy and love

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide

Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine
With ten thousand beside

Great is thy faithfulness
Great is thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see

All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Sermon
“The Influences that Shape Us”
Romans 12:1-2

Prayer of Confession
Father, we come to you, confessing our sins.
We treat our bodies as if they do not matter to you.
We let our minds dwell on things that do not please you.
We give our hearts over to idols of our own making.
In all of this, we turn our backs to you.
Restore us to yourself,
that we may return to you and find your forgiveness.
Renew us by your Spirit, that we may know you, love you,
and find joy embracing what is good.
Through Jesus we pray, Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

— Romans 8:1

The Lord’s Supper

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, 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

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

EASTER WORSHIP – April 1, 2018

Easter Welcome

Praise the King
There’s a reason why the curse of sin is broken
There’s a reason why the darkness runs from light
There’s a reason why we stand here now forgiven
Jesus is alive

There’s a reason why we are not overtaken
There’s a reason why we sing on through the night
There’s a reason why our hope remains eternal
Jesus is alive

Praise the King, he is risen
Praise the King, he’s alive
Praise the King, death’s defeated
Hallelujah, he’s alive
Hallelujah, he’s alive

There’s a reason why our hearts can be courageous
There’s a reason why the dead are made alive
There’s a reason why we share his resurrection
Jesus is alive

Praise the King, he is risen
Praise the King, he’s alive
Praise the King, death’s defeated
Hallelujah, he’s alive
Hallelujah, he’s alive

The grave could not ignore it
When all of heaven’s roaring
Hell, where is your victory
Death, where is your sting

The world could not ignore it
When all the saints are roaring
Hell, where is your victory
Death, where is your sting

The grave could not ignore it
When all of heaven’s roaring
Hell, where is your victory
Death, where is your sting

Hell, where is your victory
Death, where is your sting

Call to Worship
Praise the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

He has raised Jesus from the dead.

Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise.
You who dwell in the dust, awake and sing for joy!

For your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the dead.

The night is nearly over; the day is almost here.

So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

“Christ is risen from the dead, trampling down death by death,
and upon those in the tombs bestowing life!”

Christ is risen, and you are overthrown.

Christ is risen, and the demons are fallen.

Christ is risen, and the Angels rejoice.

Christ is risen, and life reigns.

Christ is risen, and not one dead remains in the grave.

Alleluia! Christ is risen.

He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

—Isaiah 26:19, Romans 13:12, the Troparion of Pascha, an Orthodox hymn chanted at Easter (“Pascha”), John Chrysostom’s, Sermon on the Lord’s Resurrection & Traditional Easter Affirmation.

Christ is Risen
Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
But fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

O, death, where is your sting?
O, hell, where is your victory?
O, church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, he’s alive, he’s alive

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Crown Him With Many Crowns
Crown him with many crowns
The Lamb upon his throne
Hark! how the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own

Awake, my soul, and sing
Of him who died for thee
And hail him as thy matchless King Through all eternity

Crown him the Lord of love
Behold his hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified

All hail, Redeemer, hail
For thou hast died for me
Thy praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity

Crown him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o’er the grave
And rose victorious in the strife
For those he came to save

His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died, eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Mark 16:1-6
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here.

Easter Prayer

Gifts — Resurrecting
The head that once was crowned with thorns
Is crowned with glory now

The Savior knelt to wash our feet
Now at his feet we bow

The one who wore our sin and shame
Now robed in majesty

The radiance of perfect love
Now shines for all to see

Your name, your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King

The fear that held us now gives way
To him who is our peace

His final breath upon the cross
Is now alive in me

Your name, your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

The tomb where soldiers watched in vain
Was borrowed for three days

His body there would not remain
Our God has robbed the grave
Our God has robbed the grave

Your name, your name is victory
All praise will rise to Christ our King

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

By your spirit I will rise
From the ashes of defeat
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

In your name I come alive
To declare your victory
The resurrected King is resurrecting me

The resurrected King is resurrecting me

Matthew 28:1-10
Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing white as snow. And for fear of him the guards trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here, for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, “Greetings!” And they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

Though the eye of sinful man

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

Holy, holy, holy

All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth, and sky, and sea

Merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed trinity
