Welcome and Announcements

Gathering the Family Together

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

How deep the Father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure,

That He should give His only Son to make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss, the Father turns His face away,

As wounds which mar the Chosen One bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon His shoulders;

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life, I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything, no gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom;

But I will boast in Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward? I cannot give an answer,

But this I know with all my heart, His wounds have paid my ransom.

Call To Worship

Scripture Reading:                                                    Psalm 19:1-4, 7-11

¹ The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

² Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

³ There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.

⁴ Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun

⁷ The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

⁸ the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes;

⁹ the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.

¹⁰ More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.

¹¹ Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward.

Prayer of Invocation

Declaring What We Believe

Red Hymnal #363                                                “To God Be the Glory”

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.

We Respond to God’s Presence

Red Hymnal #621                                     “Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus”

Third, you shall not take the na-me of the Lord your God in va-in.

Fourth, God said remember the Sabbath Day to keep it holy.

Sixth, you shall not murder.

Seven, God said you shall not commit adultery.

Eighth, commandment you shall not steal.

Ninth, commandment you shall not bear false witness

against your neighbor. Tenth, you shall not covet.

God descended in a fi-re down upon the Mount of Sinai.

On the mount He spoke to Moses these the Ten Commandments.
