Call To Worship | Hebrews 4:14, 16
Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the
heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us
hold fast our confession. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
He Is Lord
© 1987 Public Domain | Words and Music by Steve Vest
He is Lord, he is Lord!
He is risen from the dead and he is Lord!
Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord.
Confession of Sin
Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the devices and desires
of our own hearts.
We have offended against your 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 apart from your grace, there is no health in us.
O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Spare all those who confess their faults.
Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises
declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,
to the glory of your holy name. Amen.
Invitatory
O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
O God, make speed to save us;
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world
without end. Amen.
Praise the Lord.
The Lord’s Name be praised.

Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning
Our song shall rise to thee
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Holy, holy, holy
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns
Around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before thee
Who was, and is, and
Evermore shall be
Holy, holy, holy
Though the darkness hide thee
Though the sinful human eye
Thy glory may not see
Only thou are holy
There is none beside thee
Perfect in pow’r
In love and purity
Holy, holy, holy
Lord God Almighty
All thy works shall praise thy name
In earth and sky and sea
Holy, holy, holy
Merciful and mighty
God in three persons
Blessed Trinity
Psalm 47
1 O clap your hands together, all you ׀ peoples; |
O cry aloud unto God with shouts of ׀ joy. ‖
2 For the Lord Most High is to be ׀ feared; |
he is the great King over all the ׀ earth. ‖
3 He shall subdue the peoples ׀ under us, |
and the nations under our ׀ feet. ‖
4 He shall choose our inheritance for ׀ us, |
the pride of Jacob whom he ׀ loved. ‖
5 God has gone up with a shout of ׀ triumph, |
the Lord with the sound of the ׀ trumpet. ‖
6 O sing praises, sing praises unto our ׀ God; |
O sing praises, sing praises unto our ׀ King. ‖
7 For God is the King of all the ׀ earth; |
think upon his mighty acts and praise him with a ׀ song. ‖
8 God reigns over the ׀ nations; |
God sits on his holy ׀ throne. ‖
(Repeat second half of chant)
9 The princes of the peoples are gathered with the people of
the God of ׀ Abraham; | for the mighty upon earth have become the
servants of the Lord, ’ and he is very highly ׀ exalted. ‖
Glory be to the ׀ Father *
And to the Son, and to the Holy ׀ Spirit.
As it was in the be ׀ ginning *
Is now and ever shall be, ’ world without end, ’ A ׀ men.
Scripture | Philippians 1:20-26 (NIV)
20 I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will
have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted
in my body, whether by life or by death.
21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for
me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know!
23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with
Christ, which is better by far;
24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body.
25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with
all of you for your progress and joy in the faith,
26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ
Jesus will abound on account of me.
Message | To Live Is Christ
George Guthrie | Professor of New TestamentThe Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Solid Rock
© 1837 Public Domain | Words and Music by Edward Mote
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
O, may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
The Prayers of the People
Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me
© 2018 Words and Music by Jonny Robinson, Rich Thompson and Michael Farren
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 Saviour, 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
