Eternal God, unchanging Mysterious, and unknown Your boundless love, unfailing Grace and mercy shown

Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight Around Your glorious throne They raise their voices day and night In praise to You alone

Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God!

Lord, we are weak and frail Helpless in the storm Surround us with Your angels Hold us in Your arms

Our cold and ruthless enemy His pleasure is our harm Rise up, O Lord, and he will flee Before our sovereign God

Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God!

Let every creature in the sea And every flying bird Let every mountain, every field And valley of the earth Let all the moons and all the stars In all the universe

Sing praises to the living God Who rules them by His Word

Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God! Hallelujah! Glory be to our great God!

JESUS I AM RESTING RESTING© 1998 New Spring (Admin. by Brentwood-Benson Music Publishing, Inc.)

David Hampton | Jean Sophia Pigott

Jesus I am resting resting In the joy of what Thou art I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart

Thou hast bid me gaze upon Thee And Thy beauty fills my soul For by Thy transforming power Thou hast made me whole

Jesus I am resting resting In the joy of what Thou art I am finding out the greatness Of Thy loving heart

Oh how great Thy loving kindness Vaster broader than the sea Oh how marvelous Thy goodness Lavished all on me

Yes I rest in Thee Beloved Know what wealth of grace is Thine Know Thy certainty of promise And have made it mine (Chorus)

Simply trusting Thee Lord Jesus I behold Thee as Thou art And Thy love so pure so changeless Satisfies my heart

Satisfies its deepest longings Meets supplies its ev’ry need Compasseth me ‘round with blessings Thine is love indeed (Chorus)

Ever lift Thy face upon me As I work and wait for Thee Resting ‘neath Thy smile Lord Jesus Earth’s dark shadows flee Brightness of my Father’s glory Sunshine of my Father’s face

Keep me ever trusting resting Fill me with Thy grace (Chorus)

APOSTLES’ CREED

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord:

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell.

The third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven,

and sits on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.

Amen.

HEIDELBERG CATECHISM

LORD’S DAY 15*Bold to be read by congregation

Q37 What do you understand by the word “suffered”?

A That during His whole life on earth, but especially at the end, Christ sustained in body and soul the anger of God against the sin of the whole human race.

This He did in order that, by His suffering as the only atoning sacrifice, He might set us free, body and soul, from eternal condemnation, and gain for us God’s grace, righteousness, and eternal life.

Q38 Why did He suffer “under Pontius Pilate” as judge?

A So that He, though innocent, might be condemned by a civil judge, and so free us from the severe judgment of God that was to fall on us.

Q39 Is it significant that He was “crucified” instead of dying some other way?

A Yes. This death convinces me that He shouldered the curse which lay on me, since death by crucifixion was accursed by God.

Sermon

ISAIAH 30 Rev. George Boomer

ISAIAH 30

“Ah, stubborn children,” declares the Lord, “who carry out a plan, but not mine, and who make an alliance, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin; 2 who set out to go down to Egypt, without asking for my direction, to take refuge in the protection of Pharaoh and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt! 3 Therefore shall the protection of Pharaoh turn to your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt to your humiliation. 4 For though his officials are at Zoan and his envoys reach Hanes, 5 everyone comes to shame through a people that cannot profit them, that brings neither help nor profit, but shame and disgrace.” 6 An oracle on the beasts of the Negeb. Through a land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the adder and the flying fiery serpent, they carry their riches on the backs of donkeys, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them. 7 Egypt’s help is worthless and empty; therefore I have called her “Rahab who sits still.” 8 And now, go, write it before them on a tablet and inscribe it in a book, that it may be for the time to come as a witness forever. 9 For they are a rebellious people, lying children, children unwilling to hear the instruction of the Lord; 10 who say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us what is right; speak to us smooth things, prophesy illusions, 11 leave the way, turn aside from the path, let us hear no more about the Holy One of Israel.” 12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, “Because you despise this word and trust in oppression and perverseness and rely on them, 13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you like a breach in a high wall, bulging out and about to collapse, whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant; 14 and its breaking is like that of a potter’s vessel that is smashed so ruthlessly that among its fragments not a shard is found with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.” 15 For thus said the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel, “In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength.” But you were unwilling, 16 and you said, “No! We will flee upon horses”; therefore you shall flee away; and, “We will ride upon swift steeds”; therefore your pursuers shall be swift. 17 A thousand shall flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you shall flee, till you are left like a flagstaff on the top of a mountain, like a signal on a hill.
