Prayer:

O God, whose Son Jesus is the good shepherd of your people: Grant that when we hear his voice we may know him who calls us each by name, and follow where he leads; who, with you and the Holy Spirit, lives and reigns, one God, for ever and 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 - 1 Corinthians 9:22-27

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: The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. 

SONG: YET NOT I BUT THROUGH CHRIST IN ME

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer, 
There is no more for heaven now to give 
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom 
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace 
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus 
For my life is wholly bound to His 
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, “All is mine!” 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me 

The night is dark, but I am not forsaken 
For by my side, the Savior He will stay 
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing 
For in my need, His power is displayed 
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me 
Through the deepest valley He will lead 
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome! 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me 

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven 
The future sure, the price it has been paid 
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon 
And He was raised to overthrow the grave 
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated 
Jesus now and ever is my plea 
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, “I am free!” 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me 

With every breath, I long to follow Jesus 
For He has said that He will bring me home 
And day by day I know He will renew me 
Until I stand with joy before the throne 
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus 
All the glory evermore to Him 
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat: 
Yet not I, but through Christ in me!

Sermon - 2 Timothy 2:1-7
”The Power of Discipline”

Communion

SONG: HIS MERCY IS MORE

What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Praise the Lord
His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more


What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What father, so tender, is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

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.
