Red Hymnal #347                         “All Creatures of Our God and King”

(Verses 1-4)

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                      Romans 14:13-23

¹³ Therefore let us not pass judgment on one another any longer, but rather decide never to put a stumbling block or hindrance in the way of a brother.

¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus that nothing is unclean in itself, but it is unclean for anyone who thinks it unclean.

¹⁵ For if your brother is grieved by what you eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ died.

¹⁶ So do not let what you regard as good be spoken of as evil.

¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking but of righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit.

¹⁸ Whoever thus serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

¹⁹ So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding.

²⁰ Do not, for the sake of food, destroy the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble by what he eats.

²¹ It is good not to eat meat or drink wine or do anything that causes your brother to stumble.

²² The faith that you have, keep between yourself and God. Blessed is the one who has no reason to pass judgment on himself for what he approves.

²³ But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin.”

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

All I Have Is Christ

Verse 1

I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way

The sin that promised joy and life had led me to the grave

I had no hope that You would own a rebel to Your will

And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still

Verse 2

But as I ran my hell bound race indifferent to the cost

You looked upon my helpless state and led me to the cross

And I beheld God’s love displayed: You suffered in my place

You bore the wrath reserved for me; now all I know is grace.

Chorus:           Hallelujah, All I have is Christ

Hallelujah, Jesus is my life

Verse 3

Now Lord, I would be Yours alone and live so all might see

The strength to follow Your commands could never come from me.

O Father, use my ransomed life in any way You choose

And let my song forever be my only boast is You.      (Repeat Chorus)

We Respond to God’s Presence

Red Hymnal #468 (With an extra verse)                                                  

Be Thou My Vision

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Be Thou my battle shield, sword for the fight;

Be Thou my dignity, Thou my delight;

Thou my soul’s shelter, Thou my high tower:

Raise Thou me heavenward, O power of my power.

4. 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.

5. High King of Heaven, my victory won,

May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

I Will Glory In My Redeemer

Verse 1

I will glory in my Redeemer

Whose priceless blood has ransomed me

Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails

And hung Him on that judgment tree

I will glory in my Redeemer

Who crushed the power of sin and death

My only Savior before the holy Judge

The Lamb who is my righteousness

The Lamb who is my righteousness

Verse 2

I will glory in my Redeemer

My life He bought, my love He owns

I have no longings for another

I’m satisfied in Him alone

I will glory in my Redeemer

His faithfulness my standing place

Though foes are mighty and rush upon me

My feet are firm, held by His grace

My feet are firm, held by His grace

Verse 3

I will glory in my Redeemer

Who carries me on eagles’ wings

He crowns my life with lovingkindness

His triumph song I’ll ever sing

I will glory in my Redeemer

Who waits for me at gates of gold

And when He calls me, it will be paradise

His face forever to behold

His face forever to behold

God And God Alone

God and God alone created all these things we call our own,

From the mighty to the small, the glory in them all

Is God’s and God’s alone!

God and God alone reveals the truth of all we call unknown,

And all the best and worst of man won’t change the Master’s plan,

It’s God’s and God’s alone!

Chorus:     God and God alone is fit to take the universe’s throne:

Let everything that lives reserve its truest praise -

For God - and God alone!

God and God alone will be the joy - of our eternal home,

He will be our one desire, our hearts will never tire

Of God and God alone!

Repeat Chorus
