“Come, Ye Sinners” words: Joseph Hart, 1759Worship team: Nawon Jang, Darry Wilmore, Trevor Joireman, Dori Baunsgard

Come, ye sinners, poor and needy, weak and wounded, sick and sore; Jesus ready stands to save you, full of pity, love and power.

Refrain: I will arise and go to Jesus; he will embrace me in his arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O, there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye thirsty, come, and welcome, God’s free bounty glorify; True belief and true repentance, every grace that brings you nigh.

Refrain: I will arise and go to Jesus; he will embrace me in his arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O, there are ten thousand charms.

Come, ye weary, heavy laden, lost and ruined by the fall; If you tarry till you’re better, you will never come at all.

Refrain: I will arise and go to Jesus; he will embrace me in his arms; In the arms of my dear Savior, O, there are ten thousand charms.

“Oh, Great Is Our God” by Brian Eichelberger

Oh, great is our God, so we should worship greatly No song is too loud, no orchestra too stately To hail the majesty of our God, so lift your voices as we sing

Oh, great is our God, so let our songs be endless So awesome his ways, how could we comprehend them? So we will make it known to our kids And we will sing about the gracious gifts you give

We will sing your praise and pour forth your fame We will bless your name, let everyone give thanks Because our God is great

Oh, great is our God, and we cannot contain it We sing from our souls, affected by his greatness His mercy covers all that he’s madeShowing his glory and his grace

Through God’s covenant and the sacrament of baptism, we welcome these new brothers and sisters in this family of faith. We promise, relying on God’s help, to order our congregational and individual life and witness that they may grow in the knowledge of the love of God and grow in their commitment to Christ as Lord and Savior. We further seek to surround them continually with Christian love and care, that they may live as Christ commands.

“His Mercy is More” Matt Boswell & Matt Papa

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

(CHORUS) Praise the Lord His mercy is moreStronger than darkness new every mornOur 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

(CHORUS) Praise the Lord His mercy is moreStronger than darkness new every mornOur sins they are many His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on usHis 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

(CHORUS) Praise the Lord His mercy is moreStronger than darkness new every mornOur sins they are many His mercy is more

Sermon Sermon “Not Sure … What I Think About Jesus” George Hinman, Senior Pastor

Sermon Text: Acts 26:24-2924 While he was making this defense, Festus exclaimed, "You are out of your mind, Paul! Too much learning is driving you insane!" 25 But Paul said, "I am not out of my mind, most excellent Festus, but I am speaking the sober truth. 26 Indeed the king knows about these things, and to him I speak freely; for I am certain that none of these things has escaped his notice, for this was not done in a corner. 27 King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know that you believe." 28 Agrippa said to Paul, "Are you so quickly persuading me to become a Christian?" 29 Paul replied, "Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that not only you but also all who are listening to me today might become such as I am—except for these chains."

Prayers of the People & Prayers of the People & the Lord’s Prayerthe Lord’s PrayerPolly Yorioka

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

“Yet Not I But Through Christ in Me” by Jonny Robinson, Michael Farren & Rich Thompson

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemerThere is no more for heaven now to giveHe is my joy my righteousness and freedomMy steadfast love my deep and boundless peace

To this I hold my hope is only JesusFor my life is wholly bound to hisOh 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 forsakenFor by my side the Saviour he will stayI labour on in weakness and rejoicingFor in my need his power is displayed

To this I hold my Shepherd will defend meThrough the deepest valley he will leadOh 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 forgivenThe future sure the price it has been paidFor Jesus bled and suffered for my pardonAnd he was raised to overthrow the grave

To this I hold my sin has been defeatedJesus now and ever is my plea Oh the chains are released I can sing I am freeYet not I but through Christ in me

With every breath I long to follow JesusFor he has said that he will bring me homeAnd day by day I know he will renew meUntil I stand with joy before the throne

To this I hold my hope is only JesusAll the glory evermore to him When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat Yet not I but through Christ in me

When the race is complete still my lips shall repeat Yet not I but through Christ in meYet not I but through Christ in me
