¹² In that day from the river Euphrates to the Brook of Egypt the LORD will thresh out the grain, and you will be gleaned one by one, O people of Israel.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

I Come by the Blood

You are the perfect and righteous God Whose presence bears no sin

You bid me come to Your holy place

How can I enter in When Your presence bears no sin?

Through Him, who poured out His life for me, The atoning Lamb of God

Through Him, and His work alone I boldly come

Chorus:   I come by the blood, I come by the cross

Where Your mercy flows, From hands pierced for me

For I dare not stand on my righteousness

My every hope rests on what Christ has done

And I come by the blood

You are the high and exalted King, The One the angels fear

So far above me in every way, Lord, how can I draw near

To the One the angels fear?

Through Him who laid down His life for me And ascended to Your side

Through Him, through Jesus alone I boldly come (Chorus)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Reformation Hymn

1. We will trust God’s Word alone, where His perfect will is known;

Our traditions shift like sand while His Truth forever stands.

We will live by faith alone, clothed in merit not our own;

All we claim is Jesus Christ and His finished sacrifice.

Chorus:      Glory be, glory be to God alone

Through the church He redeemed and made His own;

He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

Glory be, glory be to God alone!

2. We are saved by grace alone, undeserved, yet freely shown;

No accomplishment on earth can achieve the second birth.

We will stand on Christ alone, the unyielding Cornerstone;

Nations rage and devils roar, still He reigns forevermore!

Chorus:      Glory be, glory be to God alone

Through the church He redeemed and made His own;

He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

Glory be, glory be to God alone!

He has freed us, He will keep us till we’re safely home;

Glory be, glory be to God alone!

What God Ordains is Always Good

What God ordains is always good; His will is just and holy.

As He directs my life for me, I follow meek and lowly.

My God indeed in every need Knows well how to shield me;

To Him, then, I will yield me.

What God ordains is always good. He never will deceive me;

He leads me in His righteous way, And never will He leave me.

I take content what He hath sent; His hand that sends me sadness

Will turn my tears to gladness.

What God ordains is always good. He is my Friend and Father;

He will not let me suffer harm, Though many storms may gather.

Now I may know both joy and woe, Some day I shall see clearly

That He has loved me dearly.

What God ordains is always good. Though I the cup am drinking

Which savors now of bitterness, I take it without shrinking.

For after grief God grants relief, My heart with comfort filling

And all my sorrow stilling.

What God ordains is always good. This truth remains unshaken.

Though sorrow, need, or death be mine, I shall not be forsaken.

I fear no harm, for with His arm He shall embrace and shield me;

So to my God I yield me.

Author: Samuel Rodigast, 1675; Composer: Severus Gastorius, 1681

I Am Not My Own

1. The One who made the heavens made my heart and soul,

Before I drew a breath, I was loved and known.

I am His creation, the Maker’s masterpiece,

and all that He designs will be done in me.

2. My Body is a temple of the Living God,

I’ll worship in this house that His blood has bought.

As I bear His image, oh may I not profane

The holiness I hold in this earthly frame.

Refrain:          I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

3. And if He has redeemed me, I am not my own;

The measure of my worth is His love alone.

He declares my standing and He declares my state.

So I will know myself by the name He gave.

(Repeat Refrain)

4. I am not my own, and now my heart is free;

Oh, Maker, come and make what You will of me.

There is nothing broken that You cannot repair,

So Lord, I leave my life in your loving care.

I belong to the Lord; oh, I am not my own.

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

I will honor Him, for this I know:

I belong to the Lord; I am not my own.

Children’s Song:

Get On Board, Little Children

The Gospel train’s a-comin,’—I hear it just at hand,

I hear the car wheels rumb-lin’—An’ rollin’ thru the land.

Get on board little children, Get on board little children,

Get on board, little children, There’s room for many-a-more.

Sermon Hymn:

What Grace is Mine

1. What grace is mine that He who dwells in endless light

Called through the night to find my distant soul.

And from his scars poured mercy that would plead for me

That I might live and in his name be known.

Refrain:     So I will go wherever He is calling me.

I lose my life to find my life in Him.

I give my all to gain the hope that never dies.

I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow Him.

2. What grace is mine to know His breath alive in me.

Beneath his wings my wakened soul may soar.

All fear can flee for death’s dark night is overcome.

My Saviour lives and reigns forevermore.

Refrain:     So I will go wherever He is calling me.

I lose my life to find my life in Him.

I give my all to gain the hope that never dies.

I bow my heart, take up my cross and follow Him.

Today’s Message

“The Story of Lost and Found”

Luke 15:8-10

Pastor Don Galardi

Sermon Meditation:

I Sought the Lord

I sought the Lord, and afterward I knew

He moved my soul to seek him, seeking me;

It was not I that found, O Savior true;

No, I was found, was found of thee.

It was not I that found, O Savior true;

No, I was found, was found of thee.

Thou didst reach forth thy hand and mine enfold;

I walked and sank not on the storm-vexed sea;

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,

As thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.

'Twas not so much that I on thee took hold,

As thou, dear Lord, took hold on me.

I find, I walk, I love; but, oh, the whole

Of love is but my answer, Lord, to thee!

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;

Always, always thou lovedst me.

For thou wert long beforehand with my soul;

Always, always thou lovedst me.
