Prayer:
O God, you have prepared for those who love you such good things as surpass our understanding: Pour into our hearts such love towards you, that we, loving you in all things and above all things, may obtain your promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: THE HOLLOW
You spoke and set the cedars in their roots
Your voice it lit the sun and hung the moon
I stand in awe of everything you do
Oh you who spread the stars and made them new
Who has known the hollow of his hand?
Who is like the Lord?
He who marks the heavens with a span
Over all the earth
You said that it would be and it was done
A promise made that cannot be undone
That from the fall comfort it would come
A victory was sure to be won
Your voice has set a captive people free
Your death has pardoned our iniquity
You loosed the chains of all our enemies
No longer slaves you call us family
When flowers fade your word will still endure
The earth will die and yet our hope is sure
You’ll gather up your people that you’ve saved
You’ll give us power and strength when we are faint
Prayer
READING OF THE WORD - james 1:22-25
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: HE WILL HOLD ME FAST
When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold Through life’s fearful path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.
He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast.
Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in His holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast.
For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight When He comes at last!
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 2:14-19
Communion
SONG: LORD I NEED YOU
Lord, I come, I confess, Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart, You're the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, Oh, I need You, Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness, Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more, Where grace is found is where You are
And where You are, Lord, I am free, Holiness is Christ in me
Teach my song to rise to You, When temptation comes my way
And when I cannot stand I'll fall on You, Jesus, You're my hope and stay
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.
