Call to Worship
Among the gods there is none like you, Lord;
no deeds can compare with yours.
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.

—Psalm 86:8-10

 

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

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

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

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

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

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

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

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
He makes me rest
In fields of green by quiet streams

Even while I’m walking
Through the valley of death and dying
I will not fear
Because you are with me
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

Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord

What a Beautiful Name
You were the Word at the beginning
One with God, the Lord Most High
Your hidden glory in creation
Now revealed in you our Christ

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

What a beautiful name it is
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.

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

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

Bought with sacrificial blood

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

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…

And raise your voice
He is worthy of all praise

Gifts — Love is Here
Come to the water, you who thirst
And you’ll thirst no more

Come to the Father, you who work
And you’ll work no more

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

Captives, bound and broken hearted

By his stripes he’s paid our ransom
From his wounds we drink salvation

Love is pouring from his hands, from his brow

Love is near
It satisfies

Praise to the Lord
Praise to the Lord
The Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul praise him
For he is thy health and salvation

All ye who hear
Now to his temple draw near
Praise him in glad adoration

Praise to the Lord
Who hath fearfully, wondrously, made thee
Health hath vouchsafed
And when heedlessly failing, hath stayed thee

What need or grief
Ever hath failed of relief
Wings of his mercy did shade thee

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Praise to the Lord
Who, when tempests their warfare are waging
Who, when the elements
Madly around thee are raging

Biddeth them cease
Turneth their fury to peace
Whirlwinds and waters assuaging

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Praise to the Lord
O let all that is in me adore him
All that hath life and breath
Come now with praises before him

Let the ‘amen’
Sound from his people again
Gladly for aye we adore him

Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him, praise him
Praise him

Sermon
“Blessed are the Enemies – David & Goliath”
1 Samuel 24:1-16

 

Prayer of Confession
Father in Heaven,
you love us, and in your love,
through the sending of your son Jesus,
you have entered our brokenness,
you felt the sting of betrayal,
you knew the isolation of loneliness,
you experienced the wounding of injustice.
And unlike us you remained without sin.

Father we confess that we
cannot love,
cannot forgive,
cannot obey,
cannot sacrifice,
without the power of your Holy Spirit.
Forgive us for not only thinking we can,
but for endeavoring to do so in our own strength.

Turn our hearts toward you,
pour your Spirit upon us,
and help us live lives that reflect your gospel
in every thought & deed.

 

Assurance of Pardon
The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness, 7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin.

Call to Worship
Sing to the Lord a new song,
and his praise from the ends of the earth.

—Isaiah 42:10

 

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
(repeat)

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
(repeat)

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
(repeat)

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

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — Your Love is Mine
I walked alone, trying to find my way
On winding roads and paths that I had made
Wandering so far from grace

I’d given up on things that I believe
My hopes and dreams were buried in the sea
But you were there, calling out to me

Life will rise, death will die
Your love is mine, your love is mine
Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine

I once was lost and burdened by my shame
But you took the cross and suffered in my place
You rescued me, I belong to you

Life will rise, death will die
Your love is mine, your love is mine
Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine

I called your name
You looked my way
You looked my way

I called your name
You looked my way
You looked my way

I called your name

Stains washed white, you paid the price
Your love is mine, your love is mine

Fairest Lord Jesus
Fairest Lord Jesus
Ruler of all nature
Son of God and Son of man

Thee will I cherish
Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul’s glory, joy, and crown

Fair are the meadows
Fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Jesus is fairer
Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing

Fair is the sunshine
Fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host

Jesus shines brighter
Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast

Beautiful Savior
Lord of the nations
Son of God and Son of man

Glory and honor
Praise, adoration
Now and forevermore be thine

Sermon
“A Starting Point for Friendship — David and Jonathan”
1 Samuel 18:1-16

 

Prayer of Confession
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name. Amen.

— from The Book of Common Prayer

 

Assurance of Pardon
“For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will
be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

— Romans 8:38-39

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Man of Sorrows
Man of sorrows Lamb of God
By his own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid

Silent as he stood accused
Beaten, mocked, and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns

O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee

Sent of heaven God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed him to that tree

O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee

Now my debt is paid
It is paid in full
By the precious blood
That my Jesus spilled

Now the curse of sin
Has no hold on me
Whom the Son sets free
O, is free indeed

O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee

See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah God be praised
He’s risen from the grave

O that rugged cross my salvation
Where your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out hallelujah
Praise and honor unto thee

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

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

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)

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

Gifts — I Have This Hope
As I walk this great unknown
Questions come and questions go
Was there purpose for the pain
Did I cry these tears in vain

I don’t want to live in fear
I want to trust that you are near
Trust your grace can be seen
In both triumph and tragedy

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and you won’t let go

But sometimes my faith feels thin
Like the night will never end
Will you catch every tear
Or will you just leave me here

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and you won’t let go

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and you won’t let go

Whatever happens I will not be afraid
Cause you are closer than this breath that I take
You calm the storm when I hear you call my name
I still believe that one day I’ll see your face

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me…

I have this hope
In the depth of my soul
In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and you won’t let go

In the flood or the fire
You’re with me and you won’t let go

You’re with me and you won’t let go

Sermon
Out of Nowhere — David & Samuel
1 Samuel 16:1-13

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, you know us deeply, better than we know ourselves.
You know that we look on the outside,
allowing externals to drive our affections, rather than holiness.
You know how we measure our worth by what we accomplish,
rather than by who we are in Christ.
You know that we often value others for what they give
and how they make us feel, rather than by who they are and can be.
We look on the outside, but you look on the inside.
Have mercy on us, forgive our sin.
Forgive our critical spirits and unkind assumptions.
Forgive our unbelief and ingratitude.
Help us to see ourselves and others the way you see us.
We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.

— Psalm 130: 3-4

 

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

Call to Worship
This is what the Lord says—
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your Savior.”

How Firm a Foundation
How firm a foundation
Ye saints of the Lord
Is laid for your faith
In his excellent Word

What more can he say
Than to you he hath said
To you, who for refuge
To Jesus have fled

Fear not, I am with thee
O be not dismayed
For I am thy God
And will still give thee aid

I’ll strengthen thee, help thee
And cause thee to stand
Upheld by my righteous
Omnipotent hand

When through the deep waters
I call thee to go
The rivers of woe
Shall not thee overflow

For I will be with thee
Thy troubles to bless
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress

When through fiery trials
Thy pathways shall lie
My grace, all sufficient
Shall be thy supply

The flame shall not hurt thee
I only design
Thy dross to consume
And thy gold to refine

The soul that on Jesus
Hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
Desert to its foes

That soul, though all hell
Should endeavor to shake
I’ll never, no never
No never forsake

Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess that we have wandered far and wide,
looking for something to calm our fears, dull our pain,
and fill the void we feel inside.

The Lord’s Supper

 

Lord, I Need You
Lord I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without you, I fall apart
You’re the one that guides my heart

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Where sin runs deep, your grace is more
Where grace is found is where you are
And where you are Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Teach my song to rise to you
When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I’ll fall on you
Jesus, you’re my hope and stay

Lord, I need you, O I need you
Every hour I need you
My one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

You’re my one defense, my righteousness
O God how I need you

Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, and perfect plea
A great high Priest whose name is ‘Love’
Who ever lives and pleads for me

My name is graven on his hands
My name is written on his heart
I know that while in heav’n he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart
No tongue can bid me thence depart

When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
To look on him and pardon me

Behold him there, the risen Lamb
My perfect, spotless Righteousness
The great unchangeable I AM
The King of glory and of grace

One with himself I cannot die
My soul is purchased by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God

Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free
For God, the Just, is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me
To look on him and pardon me

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

 

Gifts — Death Was Arrested
Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin
Lost without hope with no place to begin
Your love Made a way to let mercy come in
When death was arrested and my life began

Ash was redeemed only beauty remains
My orphan heart was given a name
My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance
When death was arrested and my life began

Oh your grace so free washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with you

It’s your endless love pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with you

Released from my chains I’m a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom he faithfully bore
He cancelled my debt and he called me his friend
When death was arrested and my life began

Our savior displayed on a criminal’s cross
Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
That’s when death was arrested and my life began
That’s when death was arrested and my life began

We’re free, free, forever we’re free
Come join the song of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free, forever, amen

When death was arrested and my life began

We’re free, free, forever we’re free
Come join the song of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free, forever, amen

When death was arrested and my life began

Baptism

 

The Church’s One Foundation
The church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord
She is his new creation
By water and the word

From heaven he came and sought her
To be his holy bride
With his own blood he bought her
And for her life he died

Elect from every nation
Yet one o’er all the earth
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth

One holy name she blesses
Partakes one holy food
And to one hope she presses
With every grace endued

Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore

Till, with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest

Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won

O happy ones and holy
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with thee

Samuel S. Wesley, S.J. Stone © Public Domain CCLI 241710

 

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

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

Sermon
“The Wash Basin — The Church is…”
Zechariah 3:1-5

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, we stand before you guilty.
Our thoughts, words, and actions accuse us.
We try to hide our own mess,
and sit in judgment of others.
But our sin is more than we can bear,
and we cannot cleanse ourselves.
Have mercy on us and forgive us.
Wash us clean in Jesus,
in whose name we pray. Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
This is what the Lord Himself says to those who turn to him in faith, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool”

— Isaiah 1:18

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

For the Lamb
On a shameful day he died
In the sorrow of defeat
But forgiveness was his cry
As his blood ran down for me

How the Father’s heart was torn
As his only Son was slain
But the earth would soon rejoice
From the place where hope was lain

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

By his Spirit we are raised
To the fullness of new life
In a moment we’ll be changed
And forever glorified

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world

For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world

Amazing Grace
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come
Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begun

John Newton, 1779; Tune, AMAZING GRACE, traditional American melody

 

Sermon
“The Construction Site — The Church is…”
Jude 20-21

 

Prayer of Confession
God in heaven, you are good, holy, and true.
We confess that we often fall short.
When we try to do good, sin is right there with us.
We are guilty of unclean thoughts, unkind words, and selfish deeds.
We hide our true selves, and put on appearances to those around us.
Have mercy and forgive us.
By your Spirit, give us power to walk faithfully with you.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

 

Assurance of Pardon
Thanks be to God, who delivers us through Jesus Christ our Lord.

— Romans 7:25

 

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

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

Gifts — All My Hope
I’ve been held by the Savior
I’ve felt fire from above
I’ve been down to the river
I ain’t the same, a prodigal returned

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood

I’m no stranger to prison
I’ve worn shackles and chains
But I’ve been freed and forgiven
And I’m not going back, I’ll never be the same

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood

There’s a kind of thing that just breaks a man
Break him down to his knees
God, I’ve been broken more than a time or two, yes Lord
Then he picked me up and showed me up what it means to be a man

All my hope is in Jesus
Thank God that yesterday’s gone
All my sins are forgiven
I’ve been washed by the blood

And time is in his hands

Sermon
“A Battery – The Church is…”
Acts 1:1-8

 

Prayer of Confession
Father, you are the one who has all power.
We confess that we often love power more than we love you.
We like to influence our world, and fear a loss of control.
We often love power more than we love others.
We try to manipulate people and use them for our pleasure.
We idolize strength,
but you came in weakness to rescue us in Jesus.
Today, we turn away from our attempts to grab power,
and ask for your forgiveness, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

—Romans 8:1-2

 

The Lord’s Supper

 

Thy Mercy, My God
Thy mercy, my God
Is the theme of my song
The joy of my heart
And the boast of my tongue

Thy free grace alone
From the first to the last
Hath won my affection
And bound my soul fast

Without thy sweet mercy
I could not live here
Sin would reduce me
To utter despair

But through thy free goodness
My spirit’s revived
And he that first made me
Still keeps me alive

Thy mercy is more
Than a match for my heart
Which wonders to feel
Its own hardness depart

Dissolved by thy goodness
I fall to the ground
And weep for the praise
Of the mercy I’ve found

Great Father of mercies
Thy goodness I own
In the covenant love
Of thy crucified Son

All praise to the Spirit
Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy and pardon
And righteousness mine

All praise to the Spirit
Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy and pardon
And righteousness mine

Hallelujah
