Call To Worship

 

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.
