    Great Is The Lord

    Verse:

    Great is the Lord, and worthy of glory,

    Great is the Lord! Great is the Lord!

    Scripture Reading:                                                       Hebrews 12:7-11

    7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?

    8 If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes discipline—then you are not legitimate, not true sons and daughters at all.

    9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!

    10 They disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but God disciplines us for our good, in order that we may share in his holiness.

    11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.

    Declaring What We Believe

    Westminster Confession of Faith

    10.1 – Of Effectual Calling

    All those whom God hath predestined unto life, and those only, he is pleased, in his appointed and accepted time, effectually to call, by his Word and Spirit, out of that state of sin and death, in which they are by nature, to grace and salvation, by Jesus Christ; enlightening their minds spiritually and savingly to understand the things of God, taking away their heart of stone, and giving unto them a heart of flesh; renewing their wills, and, by his almighty power, determining them to that which is good, and effectually drawing them to Jesus Christ: yet so, as they come most freely, being made willing by his grace.

     

     

    We Respond to God’s Presence

     

    Hear the Call of the Kingdom

    Hear the call of the kingdom, lift your eyes to the King,

    Let His song rise within you as a fragrant offering

    Of how God rich in mercy came in Christ to redeem

    All who trust in His unfailing grace

     

    Hear the call of the Kingdom to be children of light

    With the mercy of heaven the humility of Christ

    Walking justly before Him, loving all that is right

    That the life of Christ may shine through us

     

    Refrain:    King of Heaven we will answer the call

    We will follow bringing hope to the world

    Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim

    Salvation in Jesus’ name

     

    Hear the call of the Kingdom to reach out to the lost

    With the Father’s compassion in the wonder of the cross

    Bringing peace and forgiveness and a hope yet to come

    Let the nations put their trust in Him

    Repeat Refrain Twice

    Christ Our Wisdom

    Verse 1

    Christ our wisdom, we are humbled when You hide Your ways from us.

    You have purposes un-numbered, each one good and glorious.

    Help us trust when we grow weary, free us from our anxious thoughts.

    Give us grace to see more clearly. You are God, and we are not.

     

    Verse 2

    Christ our wisdom, be our gladness when we fail to understand.

    You ordain all joy and sadness to fulfill Your perfect plan.

    Help us know You rule with power over every raging flood.

    In our most uncertain hour, You are God, and we are loved.

     

    Verse 3

    Christ our wisdom, we will follow though the way ahead is veiled.

    As we journey through the shadows, grant us faith where sight has failed.

    Help us cling to Your commandments,

    strengthened by Your faithful Word.

    We will never be abandoned. You are God, and we are Yours.

     

    Verse 4

    Christ our wisdom, we adore You for the beauty of the cross.

    Once in foolishness we scorned You, but Your blood has ransomed us.

    Help us sing the endless mercies of Your humble heart to save.

    Christ our wisdom, Christ our glory, You are God, forever praised.

    Help us sing the endless mercies of Your humble heart to save.

    Christ our wisdom, Christ our glory, You are God, forever praised.

  • Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor

    Verse 1

    Christ, the sure and steady anchor in the fury of the storm;

    When the winds of doubt blow through me

    and my sails have all been torn.

    In the suff’ring, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few,

    I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

     

    Verse 2

    Christ, the sure and steady anchor while the tempest rages on;

    When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won.

    Deeper still then goes the anchor, though I justly stand accused;

    I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

     

    Verse 3

    Christ, the sure and steady anchor through the floods of unbelief;

    Hopeless, somehow, O my soul now lift your eyes to calvary.

    This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved;

    I will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

     

    Verse 4

    Christ, the sure and steady anchor, as we face the wave of death;

    When these trials give way to glory and we draw our final breath.

    We will cross that great horizon, clouds behind and life secured;

    And the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured.

    Christ, the shore of our salvation, ever faithful, ever true;

    We will hold fast to the anchor; it shall never be removed.

    Find Us Faithful

    O may all who come behind us find us faithful;

    May the fire of our devotion light their way.

    May the footprints that we leave lead them to believe,

    And the lives we live inspire them to obey.

    O may all who come behind us find us faithful.
