Scripture Reading:                                                     Galatians 5:16-25

Keep in Step with the Spirit

¹⁶But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

¹⁷For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.

¹⁸But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

¹⁹Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality,

²⁰idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions,

²¹envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

²²But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.

²⁴And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

²⁵If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Red Hymnal #326

All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ name!

Let angels prostrate fall, Let angels prostrate fall;

Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,

Ye ransomed from the fall; Ye ransomed from the fall;

Hail Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

Let every kindred, every tribe

On this terrestrial ball, on this terrestrial ball,

To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng

We at His feet may fall, We at His feet may fall!

We’ll join the everlasting song, and crown Him,

Crown Him, crown Him, crown Him, and crown Him Lord of all. Amen.

Words: Edward Perronet, John Rippon. Music: DIADEM, James Ellor.

Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
1. Your hand, O God, has guided Your church from age to age;
The tale of love is written for us on every page.

Our fathers knew Your goodness and we Your works record;

And each of these bear witness; One church, one faith, one Lord.

Refrain: One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.

One church, one faith, one Lord of life;

One Heavenly King, Lord of all.
1. Your mercy never fails us, or leaves Your work undone;
With Your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won.

And then, by all creation, Your Name shall be adored;

With earth and Heaven singing: One church, one faith, one Lord.

Whoever Fears the Lord

Whoever fears the Lord and lives as God intends

Will find the whole of life is filled with gifts he sends.

When work is more than toil and reaps a just reward,

When strength and health are ours, all these are from the Lord!

We celebrate the joys of home and family,

Where love’s enduring bonds provide security.

God nurtures every child for life’s demanding race;

Each day he offers us new fruitfulness, new grace.

His kindness is revealed where bitter conflicts cease;

Far more, within our hearts, his mercy brings us peace.

May God prolong our days to see our children’s heirs,

And may his gracious gifts be ours and also theirs.

Sermon Hymn:

O For a Closer Walk with God

O for a closer walk with God a calm and heavenly frame

A light to shine upon the road leading to the Lamb

Where is the blessedness I knew when once I saw the Lord

Where is the soul refreshing view living in His Word

Refrain:   O fire of God come burn in me

Renew a holy passion til Christ my deepest longing be

My never-failing fountain; My never-failing fountain

What peaceful hours I once enjoyed, How sweet the memory still!

But they have left an aching void The world can never fill!

The dearest idol I have known, Whate’er that idol be,

Help me tear it from Thy throne, And worship only Thee.

Repeat Refrain:

So shall my walk be close with God with all the hopes made new

So purer light shall mark the road leading to the Lamb

We invite to the Lord’s Table all those who are baptized disciples of Jesus Christ and are under the authority of Christ and His body, the Church.

You also acknowledge that you are a sinner, without hope except in the sovereign mercy of God, and that you are trusting in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. If you have any doubt about your participation, please speak to the elders before or after the service.
