Call To Worship
Prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, in Christ You have revealed Your glory among the nations: Preserve the works of Your mercy, that Your Church throughout the world may persevere with steadfast faith in the confession of Your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: How Great Thou Art
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the worlds Thy Hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
”How great Thou art, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
”How great Thou art, how great Thou art!”
And when I think of God, His Son not sparing sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation and lead me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow with humble adoration and then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art
Corporate COnfession
ALMIGHTY and most merciful Father; We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou those, O God, who confess their faults. Restore thou those who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind In Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for His sake; That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of Thy holy Name. Amen.
READING OF THE WORD –
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: Christ the sure and steady anchor
Christ the sure and steady Anchor in the fury of the storm
When the winds of doubt blow through me and my sails have all been torn
In the suffering, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it will never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor while the tempest rages on
When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won
Deeper still then goes the Anchor though I justly stand accused
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor through the fields of unbelief
Hopeless somehow O my soul now lift your eyes to Calvary
This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved
All my hope is in the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor as we face the wave of death
When these trials give way to glory as we draw our final breath
We will cross that great horizon clouds behind and life secured
And the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured
Christ the shore of our salvation ever faithful ever true
We will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
SONG: Jesus Is Better
There is no other, so sure and steady
My hope is held in Your hand
When castles crumble, and breath is fleeting
Upon this rock I will stand, Upon this rock I will stand
Glory, glory, we have no other king but Jesus Lord of all!
We raise the anthem, our loudest praises ring. We crown Him Lord of all!
Your kindly rule has, shattered and broken
The curse of sin's tyranny
My life is hidden, 'neath Heaven's shadow
Your crimson flood covers me, Your crimson flood covers me!
In all my sorrows, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
In every victory, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Than any comfort, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
More than all riches, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Our souls declaring, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
Our song eternal, Jesus is better Make my heart believe
DOXOLOGY
Our treasures fame and riches made will wither like grass just the same
The things of earth like dust and sand will pass through all our clutching hand
Our hope is found in Jesus Christ, forevermore He is our prize
Reconciled the souls of man, forgiveness from the Father’s hand
And with the Spirit we are free, and soon all tribes and tongues shall sing,
”Glory be to Christ our King and the Holy Trinity!”
Sermon: Sermon Title (John 20:1-22)

SONG: BUILD MY LIFE
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Jesus the name above every other name
Jesus the only one who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, we live for You
Holy! There is no one like You, there is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are and fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
I will build my life upon your love it is a firm foundation
I will put my trust in you alone and I will not be shaken
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
