Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

Across the Lands

1. You’re the Word of God the Father from before the world began;

Every star and every planet has been fashioned by Your hand.

All creation holds together by the power of Your voice.

Let the skies declare Your glory; let the land and seas rejoice

Chorus:     You’re the Author of creation; You’re the Lord of every man,

And Your cry of love rings out across the lands.

2. Yet You left the gaze of angels, came to seek and save the lost

And exchanged the joy of Heaven for the anguish of a cross.

With a prayer You fed the hungry, with a word You calmed the sea;

Yet how silently You suffered, that the guilty may go free.

Repeat Chorus

3. With a shout You rose victorious, wrestling victory from the grave

And ascended into Heaven, leading captives in Your way.

Now You stand before the Father, interceding for Your own;

From each tribe and tongue and nation You are leading sinners home.

Repeat Chorus twice

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                     Hebrews 10:19-25

¹⁹ Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,

²⁰ by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,

²¹ and since we have a great priest over the house of God,

²² let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

²³ Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.

²⁴ And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works,

²⁵ not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Westminster Confession of Faith 16.1&2

Leader:

Good works are only those works identified as good by God and commanded by him in his holy word. They do not include other works, no matter how well-intentioned in design or zealously promoted by men.

People:

These good works, done in obedience to God’s commandments, are the fruit and evidence of a true and living faith.  By them believers show their thankfulness, strengthen their assurance of salvation, edify their brothers in the Lord, and become ornaments of all those who profess the gospel. Good works in believers silence the criticism of the enemies of the gospel. They also glorify God by showing that believers are the workmanship and creation of Jesus Christ, because their aim is that holiness of living which leads to eternal life.

We Respond to God’s Presence

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 twice

Be Still and Know

Psalm 46:4-5, 7-11

Verse:

There is a river whose streams make glad,

The city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.

God is within her, she will not fall,

God will help her at break of day.

Come and see what the Lord has done.

Chorus:

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.

He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;

He burns the shields with fire!

He says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

Repeat Verse and Chorus

Bridge:

The Lord Almighty is with us,

The God of Jacob is our fortress.

The Lord Almighty is with us.

Come and see what the Lord has done;

Come and see what the Lord has done!

Repeat Chorus

Ending:

He says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

Prayer of Contrition

Sharing of the Elements

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. By eating the bread and drinking the wine with us as a visitor, you are acknowledging to the elders of this local church that you are in covenant with God and an active member of a congregation in which the gospel is faithfully confessed, taught, and believed. 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.

Declaration of Forgiveness

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

I Cannot Tell

I cannot tell why He whom angels worship

Should set His love upon the sons of men,

Or why, as Shepherd, He should seek the wanderers

To bring them back, they know not how or when.

But this I know, that He was born of Mary

When Bethlehem’s manger was His only home,

And that He lived at Nazareth and labored,

And so the Savior, Savior of the world has come.

I cannot tell how silently He suffered

As with His peace He graced this place of tears,

Or how His heart upon the cross was broken,

The crown of pain to three and thirty years.

But this I know, He heals the broken hearted

And stays our sin and calms our lurking fear,

And lifts the burden from the heavy laden,

For yet the Savior, Savior of the world, is here.

I cannot tell how He will win the nations,

How He will claim His earthly heritage,

Or satisfy the needs and aspirations

Of east and west, of sinner and of sage.

But this I know, all flesh shall see His glory,

And He shall reap the harvest He has sown,

And some glad day His sun will shine in splendor

When He the Savior, Savior of the world, is known.

I cannot tell how all the lands shall worship

When at His bidding every storm is stilled,

Or who can say how great the jubilation

When all the hearts of men with love are filled.

But this I know, the skies will thrill with rapture,

And countless voices then will join to sing.

And earth to heaven, and heaven to earth will answer:

“At last the Savior, Savior of the world, is King!”
