Call to Worship
I will sing forever about the Lord’s love.
I will sing about his faithfulness forever and ever!

—Psalm 89:1

Thy Mercy
Hallelujah

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

Hallelujah

Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee
Joyful, joyful we adore thee
God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flowers before thee
Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
Drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness
Fill us with the light of day

All thy works with joy surround thee
Earth and heav’n reflect thy rays
Stars and angels sing around thee
Center of unbroken praise

Field and forest, vale and mountain
Flowery meadow, flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Call us to rejoice in thee

Mortals join the mighty chorus
Which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o’er us
Brother love binds man to man

Ever singing march we onward
Victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life

Henry van Dyke, Ludwig van Beethoven, adapted by Edward Hodges © Public Domain CCLI 241710

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 is the King who conquered the grave

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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations

Gifts — Alive in You
From beginning to the end
All my life is in your hands

This whole world may hold me down
But it can never drown you out

I’m not merely flesh and bone
I was made for something more

You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you

You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you

Through the dark I hear your voice
Rising up I will rejoice

For I was lost but now I’m found
‘Cause even death can’t hold you down

You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you

You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you

It’s no longer I who live
But Christ who lives within me
Christ who lives within me

From beginning to the end
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory

It’s no longer I who live
But Christ who lives within me
Christ who lives within me

From beginning to the end
You deserve the glory
You deserve the glory

You are God
You’re the Great I AM
Breath of life, I breathe you in
Even in the fire I’m alive in you

You are strong in my brokenness
Sovereign over every step
Even in the fire
I’m alive, I’m alive in you

Prayer of Confession
Gracious and Almighty God,
we come to you, hearts humbled,
confessing our sin.
We chase after frivolous things;
we worry about tomorrow;
we live and act as if your promises aren’t true;
we place our trust only in what we can touch and see.
Father, grant us the grace to put our hope and trust in you,
for you alone provide all we could ever need.
Thank you for your unending mercy.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.

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

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

And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy

Your voice fills the night, raise my head up to hear the sound

Though fires burn all around me I will praise you, my God

Because you are good to me, good to me
You are good to me, good to me

And time is in his hands

Sermon
“Jesus Wept”
John 11:17-37

Prayer of Confession
Father, we confess our sins to you.
They are too many to count,
and too painful to remember.
We grieve our lack of love for you and others.
Have mercy on us and forgive us.
Give us the gift of true repentance,
and lead us by your Spirit in the way of life.
Through Jesus we pray, Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

-2 Chronicles 7:14

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

Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah
Pilgrim through this barren land
I am weak, but thou art mighty
Hold me with thy powerful hand

Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven
Feed me till I want no more
Feed me till I want no more

Open now the crystal fountain
Whence the healing stream doth flow
Let the fire and cloudy pillar
Lead me all my journey through

Strong Deliverer, strong Deliverer
Be thou still my Strength and Shield
Be thou still my Strength and Shield

When I tread the verge of Jordan
Bid my anxious fears subside
Death of deaths, and hell’s destruction
Land me safe on Canaan’s side

Songs of praises, songs of praises
I will ever give to thee
I will ever give to thee

Gifts – White as Snow

Who has purchased me with his own blood

And I stand in his righteousness
Washed by his mercy and love

Though I fail a thousand times
Lord, your mercies are new every morning

Wash my heart clean
Let my spirit be steadfast and strong

All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool

All my sins like scarlet will be white as snow
Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool

A broken and contrite heart, you do not despise

Wash over me
Clean my heart, clean my mind, clean my eyes

Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool

Though they’re red like crimson, they will be as wool

Sermon
“A Sacrifice of Reputation”
John 15:18-16:1

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
Our assurance of forgiveness is found in this: “We have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer we who live, but Christ who lives in us. And the life we live in the body, we live by faith in the Son of God, who loved us and gave himself for us”

– based on Galatians 2:20

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

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

My one defense, my righteousness

Good, Good Father
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

Praise to the Lord, The Almighty
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 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 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
“Grace for An Ordinary Life”
Luke 19:1-10

Prayer of Confession
Merciful God, we have sinned.
We confess the sins no one knows,
and the sins everyone knows.
We confess the sins that are a burden to us
and the sins that no longer bother us.
We confess that we have not
loved one another as Christ loved us.
We confess that we have not
been generously forgiving
towards those who have hurt us.
Father forgive us.
Restore to us the joy of our salvation and
give us spirits ready to obey you and love others.
Through Jesus we pray. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out, that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that he may send the Christ appointed for you, Jesus

— Acts 3:19-20

The Lord’s Supper

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain, I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ, my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to his blood

See, from his head, his hands, his feet
Sorrow and love flow mingled down
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet
Or thorns compose so rich a crown

Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were an offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all

To Christ, who won for sinners grace
By bitter grief and anguish sore
Be praise from all the ransomed race
Forever and forevermore

Sermon
“Stripped Down Christianity – Humility”
John 13:1-20

Prayer of Confession
Gracious God,
Jesus taught us to love you
with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength;
but we confess that we have loved you superficially.
Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves;
but we have loved our neighbors selectively, partially, and unequally.
Jesus taught us to trust you completely;
but we still doubt.
You have taught us all these things,
yet we have failed to learn them.
Have mercy on us and forgive us.
Wash us clean in Jesus.
We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.

So will I come and bow, take of this bread and vow

Still on my lips, your praise is found

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

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

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

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.

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

God, you have searched us,
and you know us.
You know what we think,
what we say, and what we do.
We confess that our thoughts
are not always for your glory;
that our words do not always build up others;

Cleanse us from all our offensive ways,
and lead us in the way everlasting.

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

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

Call to Worship
I will praise You, O Lord, with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoice in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.

— Psalm 9:1-2

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

Charles Wesley, Carl G. Glaser, adapt. Lowell Mason © Public Domain CCLI 241710

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

Sermon
“The Way Through — David, Absalom & Joab”
2 Samuel 18:31-19:8

Prayer of Confession
Father, when we were your enemies
you loved us and you reconciled us to yourself
through the death of your Son.
You have held back nothing in making us your own.
Still, we have failed to walk humbly before you;
we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,
through what we have done and what we have left undone.
We come now into your presence
confessing our flaws and failures,
rejoicing in fact Jesus himself bore our sins
in his body on the cross.
We praise you and give you thanks
that you do not count our sins against us,
and cleanse us from all our unrighteousness.
Grant us now, we pray, the grace to die daily to sin,
and to rise daily to new life in Christ,
who lives and reigns with you,
and in whose strong name we pray. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon
Therefore having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

— Romans 5:1

The Lord’s Supper

O Praise the Name
I cast my mind to Calvary
Where Jesus bled and died for me
I see his wounds, his hands, his feet
My Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and drenched in tears
They laid him down in Joseph’s tomb
The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God

Then on the third at break of dawn
The Son of heaven rose again
O trampled death, where is your sting
The angels roar for Christ the King

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God

He shall return in robes of white
The blazing Son shall pierce the night
And I will rise among the saints
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face

O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise his name forever more
For endless days we will sing your praise
O Lord, O Lord our God
O Lord, O Lord our God

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

Robed in the blooming garb of spring

Sermon
“The Way Through — David, Absalom & Joab”
2 Samuel 18:31-19:8

Prayer of Confession
Lord, we confess that
we are not the people we want others to think we are;
we are afraid to admit even to ourselves
what lies in the depths of our souls.
But we do not want to hide our true selves from you.
We believe that you know us as we are, and yet you still love us.
Help us not to shrink from self-knowledge;
teach us to respect ourselves for your sake;
give us the courage to put our trust in your guiding power.
Raise us out of the paralysis of guilt and fear
and help us to live as a forgiven people.
Through Jesus we pray, Amen.

—adapted from the Covenant Hymnal

Assurance of Pardon
He saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior.

— Titus 3:5-6

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

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

to sing praises to your name, O Most High;

to declare your steadfast love in the morning,

For you, O Lord, have made me glad by your work;
at the works of your hands I sing for joy.

And all who feel unworthy
And all who hurt with nothing left
Will know that you are holy

Go on and tell it to the masses

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

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

Christ alone, Cornerstone
Weak made strong in the Savior’s love

“Breaking the First Barrier — David & Shimei”
2 Samuel 16:5-14

Prayer of Confession
Abba Father,
you chose us as your children,
but we have forgotten who we are.
We live apart from you, as orphans.
We serve ourselves instead of our neighbors.
Forgive us; cleanse us; restore us.
Help us to remember that, as your children,
our citizenship is in heaven.
Give us grace and mercy to live transformed lives
until you return to make all things new.

Dear Refuge of My Weary Soul
Dear refuge of my weary soul
On thee, when sorrows rise
On thee, when waves of trouble roll
My fainting hope relies

To thee I tell each rising grief
For thou alone canst heal
Thy word can bring a sweet relief
For every pain I feel

But oh, when gloomy doubts prevail
I fear to call thee mine
The springs of comfort seem to fail
And all my hopes decline

Yet gracious God, where shall I flee
Thou art my only trust
And still my soul would cleave to thee
Though prostrate in the dust

Hast thou not bid me seek thy face
And shall I seek in vain
And can the ear of sovereign grace
Be deaf when I complain

No still the ear of sovereign grace
Attends the mourner’s prayer
O may I ever find access
To breathe my sorrows there

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet

Thy mercy seat is open still
Here let my soul retreat
With humble hope attend thy will
And wait beneath thy feet
