Prayer:
Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
SONG: I STAND AMAZED (HOW MARVELOUS)
I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me, a sinner, condemned, unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be,
How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!
He took our sins and our sorrows, He made them His very own.
He bore the burden to Calvary and suffered and died alone.
When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see,
‘Twill be my joy through the ages to sing of His love for me.

READING OF THE WORD – mark 1:32-39
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: BEFORE THE THRONE
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong and perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose name is Love,
Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands,
My name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heav'n he stands
No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the Just is satisfied
To look on him and pardon me,
To look on him and pardon me.
Behold him there! The risen Lamb,
My perfect, spotless righteousness;
The great unchangeable "I AM,"
The King of glory and of grace!
One with himself I cannot die,
My soul is purchased by his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high,
With Christ, my Savior and my God,
With Christ, my Savior and my 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
Sermon: Deburdened through REST
Communion
Song: I wait
O restless heart, do not grow weary, hold on to faith and wait
The God of love He will not tarry, no, He is never late
So I wait in the promise, I wait in the hope
Yes, I wait in the power of God's unending love
Be still and rest secure, my soul, He knows what's best for me
Here in my patience lies the goal: to wait and trust in Thee
Even through my imperfections His light is shining through
Though dim I am still a reflection of His mercy and His truth
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.
