Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

Only By Grace

Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand

Not by our human endeavor, but by the blood of the Lamb;

Into Your presence You call us, You call us to come,

Into Your presence, You draw us and now by Your grace we come

Now by your grace we come.

Lord, if You mark our transgressions, who would stand?

Thanks to Your grace we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb.

(Repeat these two lines.)

Only by grace can we enter, only by grace can we stand

Not by our human endeavor, but by the blood of the Lamb;

Into Your presence You call us, You call us to come,

Into Your presence, You draw us and now by Your grace we come

Now by your grace we come.

Now by your grace we come, now by Your grace we come.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                       Ephesians 2:4-10

⁴ But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,

⁵ even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

⁶ and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

⁷ so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,

⁹ not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

¹⁰ For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe:

The Apostle’s Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord;

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the virgin Mary;

Suffered under Pontius Pilate;

Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell;

The third day He rose again from the dead;

He ascended into heaven,

And sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

From whence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost;

The holy universal church; The communion of saints;

The forgiveness of sins; The resurrection of the body;

And the life everlasting. Amen.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Our God Is Lifted Up

Our God is lifted up midst the shouts of joy,

Our God is lifted up in the sounding of the trumpets;

Our God is lifted up midst the shouts of joy,

Shout joyfully unto our God, shout joyfully unto our God.  (Repeat)

Let the trumpets make a joyful noise,

Let us clap our hands and praise our God;

For our God is lifted up, Our God is lifted up,

Our God is lifted up on high!              (Repeat)

Our God is lifted up, our God is lifted up,

Our God is lifted up on high

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.

Receive the Glory

(Based on Psalm 115:1; Isaiah 43:1; 2 Corinthians 4:7; and Philippians 3:3)

Chorus:     Not to us, but to Your name alone,

Be all the glory, the glory, forever.

For Your faithfulness and steadfast love,

Receive the glory, the glory belongs to You.

1. All that we’ve accomplished You have done for us.

And any fruit we harvest is a gift from Your hand.

We are only jars of clay that hold a priceless treasure.

And we exist to bring You pleasure, O God.

(Repeat Chorus)

2. Only by Your mercy can we come to You.

Though we deserved Your judgment You have called us by name.

So we glory in the cross of Christ that made us Yours forever,

That joined our lives together to sing.

(Repeat Chorus)

Psalm 145 B                                                               Blue Psalter, pg 944

I Will Exalt My God and King

Verse 1 – Solo:

I will exalt my God and king, and I will ever praise your name.

I will extol you every day and evermore your praise proclaim.

You, Lord, are greatly to be praised;

your greatness is beyond all thought.

From age to age your people tell the mighty wonder you have wrought.

Verse 2 – All:

On your most glorious majesty and on your deeds my mind will dwell.

Your deeds will fill the world with awe, and all your greatness I will tell.

Your matchless goodness

and your grace your people will commemorate;

And all your truth and righteousness our joyful song will celebrate.

Verse 3 – Jubilee Singers:

The Lord our God is rich in grace, tender to us, compassionate.

His anger is most slow to rise; his love and kindness are most great.

The Lord is good in all his ways; his creatures know his constant care.

To all his works his love extends; all creatures in his mercies share.

Verse 4 – Women & Treble Voices:

All you have made will praise you, Lord,

your mighty acts your saints will show,

Till all the peoples on the earth the splendor of your kingdom know.

Eternal is your kingdom, Lord, forever strong and ever sure;

While generations rise and die, your glorious reign will still endure.

Verse 5 – Men:

The Lord is faithful to his word; he will extend his gracious hand.

The Lord upholds the faltering feet and makes the weak securely stand.

The eyes of all look up to you for food and drink, which you supply;

Your open hand is bountiful, and every need you satisfy.

Verse 6 – All:

The Lord is just in all his ways; in all his works the Lord is kind,

And all who call on him in truth in him a present helper find.

He will fulfill the heart’s desire of those who fear him and obey.

The Lord will surely hear their cry,

will save them when to him they pray.

Verse 7 – All:

The Lord in grace preserves his saints,

redeeming those who love his name.

The wicked he will overthrow and put his enemies to shame.

My mouth will sing the glorious praise of God,

whom earth and heaven adore.

Let every creature praise his name forever and forevermore.

Sermon Hymn:                                                                                         

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.

Today’s Message

The Purpose of Jesus

Matthew 1:18-25

Pastor Don E. Galardi

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song.

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.

My Comforter, my All in All,

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,

Fullness of God in helpless babe!

This Gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save.

Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain.

Then bursting forth in glorious day

Up from the grave He rose again.

And as He stands in victory

Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.

For I am His and He is mine,

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life no fear in death.

This is the power of Christ in me.

From life’s first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of Hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand.

‘Til He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I stand.
