    Scripture Reading:                                                            Malachi 3:1-4

    1 Behold, I send my messenger, and he will prepare the way before me. And the Lord whom you seek will suddenly come to his temple; and the messenger of the covenant in whom you delight, behold, he is coming, says the Lord of hosts.

    2 But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers’ soap.

    3 He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, and they will bring offerings in righteousness to the Lord.

    4 Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years.

    We Respond to God’s Presence

     

    We Have This Hope

    We have this hope that burns within our hearts,

    Hope in the coming of the Lord.

    We have this faith that Christ alone imparts,

    Faith in the promise of His Word.

     

    We believe the time is here,

    When the nations far and near

    Shall awake, and shout, and sing --

    Hallelujah! Christ is King!

     

    We have this hope that burns within our hearts,

    Hope in the coming of the Lord.

  • My Hope Rests Firm

    1. My hope rests firm on Jesus Christ, He is my only plea.

    Though all the world should point and scorn,

    His ransom leaves me free, His ransom leaves me free.

     

    1. My hope sustains me as I strive and strain towards the goal;

    Though still I stumble into sin,

    His death paid for it all, His death paid for it all.

     

    1. My hope provides me with a spur to help me run this race:

    I know my tears will turn to joy the day I see His face,

    The day I see His face.

     

    1. My hope is to be with my Lord, to know as I am known;

    To serve Him gladly all my days in praise before His throne,

    In praise before His throne.

    Fullness of Grace

    Verse 1:    Fullness of Grace in man’s human frailty

    This is the wonder of Jesus

    Laying aside His power and glory

    Humbly He entered our world

    Chose the path of meanest worth

    Scandal of a virgin birth

    Born in a stable cold and rejected

    Here lies the hope of the world

     

    Verse 2:    Fullness of Grace the love of the Father

    Shown in the face of Jesus

    Stooping to bear the weight of humanity

    Walking the Calvary road

    Christ the holy Innocent

    Took our sin and punishment

    Fullness of God despised and rejected

    Crushed for the sins of the world

     

    Verse 3:     Fullness of hope in Christ we had longed for

    Promise of God in Jesus

    Through His obedience we are forgiven

    Opening the floodgates of heaven

    All our hopes and dreams we bring

    Gladly as an offering

    Fullness of life and joy unspeakable

    God's gift in love to the world

    By Faith

    Verse 1:    By faith we see the hand of God

    In the light of creation’s grand design

    In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness

    Who walk by faith and not by sight

     

    Verse 2:    By faith our fathers roamed the earth

    With the power of His promise in their hearts

    Of a holy city built by God's own hand

    A place where peace and justice reign

     

    Refrain:    We will stand as children of the promise

    We will fix our eyes on Him our soul’s reward

    Till the race is finished and the work is done

    We’ll walk by faith and not by sight

     

    Verse 3:    By faith the prophets saw a day

    When the longed-for Messiah would appear

    With the power to break the chains of sin and death

    And rise triumphant from the grave

     

    Verse 4:    By faith the church was called to go

    In the power of the Spirit to the lost

    To deliver captives and to preach good news

    In every corner of the earth

    Repeat Refrain

     

    Verse 5:    By faith this mountain shall be moved

    And the power of the gospel shall prevail

    For we know in Christ all things are possible

    For all who call upon His name

    Repeat Refrain
