Gathering the Family Together

Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;

Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above;

Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it, Mount of Thy redeeming love.

This my glad commemoration, That 'til now I've safely come;

And I hope by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home.

Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God;

He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood

O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be!

Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee:

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love:

Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

Words: Robert Robinson, 1758; v.2 alt. Jeff Redd. Music: NETTLETON by John Wyeth

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading: Psalm 46

For the director of music. Of the Sons of Korah. According to alamoth. A song.

¹ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³ though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.

⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy place where the Most High dwells.

⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
God will help her at break of day.

⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

⁸ Come and see what the LORD has done,
the desolations he has brought on the earth.

⁹ He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the shields with fire.

¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth.”

¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Westminster Confession of Faith

5 – Of Providence

I. God the great Creator of all things does uphold, direct, dispose, and govern all creatures, actions, and things, from the greatest even to the least, by His most wise and holy providence, according to His infallible foreknowledge, and the free and immutable counsel of His own will, to the praise of the glory of His wisdom, power, justice, goodness, and mercy.

V. The most wise, righteous, and gracious God does oftentimes leave, for a season, His own children to manifold temptations, and the corruption of their own hearts, to chastise them for their former sins, or to discover unto them the hidden strength of corruption and deceitfulness of their hearts, that they may be humbled; and, to raise them to a more close and constant dependence for their support upon Himself, and to make them more watchful against all future occasions of sin, and for sundry other just and holy ends.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Rejoice
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always, sing it again, we rejoice.
Delight in the love He has shown us, gratefully lift up your voice.

His gentleness among us will join our hearts with praise.

We gather in His goodness, a family of grace.

Refrain:

With each breath He’s given, praise the Lord!

In these times we live in, we will praise the Lord.

Throughout every season, I am sure

we have every reason to praise the Lord.
1. Rejoice and be anxious for nothing, praying for all that you need.
Come with a song of thanksgiving; lay your requests at His feet.

His peace will fall upon us, to guard our hearts and minds

In Christ, who reigns eternal; the Shepherd of our lives.

Repeat Refrain
1. Rejoice in the Lord, now and always; tell of the good He has done.
Worship the Lord, to remember all of the joy yet to come.

The hope that burns within us the dark cannot destroy,

With praise that’s never ending, we say again, “Rejoice!”

Repeat Refrain

We have every reason to praise the Lord.

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.”

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!”

III. Points for Reflection
1. Do not believe the lie: “Give your life to God and He will make you miserable.”
2. We can not know why I, or someone I love, is suffering.
3. Question: Can we love God even when He gives nothing? Can we love Him for nothing?
4. We must embrace the mystery of suffering over our desire for comfort and understanding.
5. Do not build your life on stuff.
6. Always remember that people who are suffering need a friend and not a theologian.
7. God will never turn his back on you.

It Is Well with My Soul
1. When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;

Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,

It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Refrain: It is well, (It is well,) with my soul, (with my soul,)

It is well, it is well, with my soul.
1. My sin—O the joy of this glorious thought—
My sin—not in part but the whole,

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! (Repeat Refrain)
1. And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,

Even so—it is well with my soul. (Repeat Refrain)
