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:                                                                    Psalm 42

¹ As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.

² My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?

³ My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”

⁴ These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.

⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation

⁶ and my God. My soul is cast down within me; therefore I remember you from the land of Jordan and of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

⁷ Deep calls to deep at the roar of your waterfalls; all your breakers and your waves have gone over me.

⁸ By day the LORD commands his steadfast love, and at night his song is with me, a prayer to the God of my life.

⁹ I say to God, my rock: “Why have you forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?”

¹⁰ As with a deadly wound in my bones, my adversaries taunt me, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?”

¹¹ Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Scripture Reading:                                                                    Psalm 43

¹ Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause against an ungodly people, from the deceitful and unjust man deliver me!

² For you are the God in whom I take refuge; why have you rejected me? Why do I go about mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?

³ Send out your light and your truth; let them lead me; let them bring me to your holy hill and to your dwelling!

⁴ Then I will go to the altar of God, to God my exceeding joy, and I will praise you with the lyre, O God, my God.

⁵ Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation and my God.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Westminster Confession of Faith

18.4 – Assurance of Grace and Salvation

The assurance true believers have of their salvation may be shaken, lessened, or interrupted for various reasons: from neglecting to preserve it; from committing some particular sin, which wounds the conscience and grieves the Spirit; from some sudden or strong temptation; or from God’s withdrawing the sense of his presence and allowing them to walk in darkness. Nevertheless, they are never completely without God’s seed, the life of faith, the love of Christ and of other believers, and the sincere heart and obedient conscience, out of which the Spirit may revive this assurance in due time and by which they are in the meantime kept from complete despair.

We Respond to God’s Presence

We Will Glorify

We will glorify the King of kings; We will glorify the Lamb.

We will glorify the Lord of lords, Who is the great “I Am”.

Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty; We will bow before His throne.

We will worship Him in righteousness, We will worship Him alone.

He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth; He is Lord of all who live.

He is Lord above the universe; All praise to Him we give.

Hallelujah to the King of kings; Hallelujah to the Lamb.

Hallelujah to the Lord of lords, Who is the great “I Am”

Because of His Mercy

Titus 2:2a, 4-5, 6b-7a

Verse 1 -- Twice

One time we too were foolish disobedient deceived

Enslaved by all kinds of passions and pleasures

We lived in malice and envy

Chorus

But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared

He saved us, Saved not because of righteous things we have done

But because of His mercy, Because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

Verse 2 – Twice

He saved us through the washing

Through the washing of rebirth

Birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit

Through Jesus Christ our Savior

Repeat Chorus

Bridge – Three times

So that having been justified by His grace

We might become heirs

Final Chorus – Twice

Because of His mercy, Because of His mercy

He saved us because of His mercy

Ending – Twice

He saved us because of His mercy

We Are Sent Forth in Worship

to Share the Gospel

As the Deer

As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee,

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee.

Chorus:     You alone are my strength, my shield,

To You alone may my spirit yield;

You alone are my heart’s desire, and I long to worship Thee.

You’re my friend and You are my brother even though You are a King.

I love You more than any other, So much more than anything.  (Chorus)

I want You more than gold or silver, only You can satisfy.

You alone are the real joy-giver and the apple of my eye.         (Chorus)
