AS WE GATHER Our reward for being called to work in God’s kingdom does not change based on how long we have been in our Lord’s service. After all, we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. Isaiah’s call for the wicked and unrighteous to return to the Lord shows God’s immense compassion for all people, no matter when they return to Him. God’s ways are

not our ways, yet we continue to work in His kingdom until He calls us when we die. Paul is struggled with a desire to depart and be with Christ and a desire to go on living and laboring for the Lord. Death and life contend, but Paul knows life will win. He knows that Jesus will return, raise the dead, and dwell

with them forever.

WELCOME and ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRE-SERVICE MUSIC My Help Comes From the Lord by Barry Weeks, Jon Abel, Bryan Brown, and Tony Wood When sorrows come and hope seems gone, You’re the rock I rest upon. When waters rise and I can’t breathe, You’re the love that rescues me. Out of the darkness I lift up my eyes; unto the hills I feel my faith rise. Maker of heaven, Giver of life, You are my strength, my song in the night. My refuge, my shelter, now and forevermore; my help comes from the Lord. When I’m broken, scarred by sin, death gives way to life again.

If there are prayer concerns for you, your family, your friends, or your neighbors, please put them on the blue information card. Our Board of Elders are prayerful

with our pastors about these joys and struggles of our earthly journey. “The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” James 5:16b

2

When I suffer, when I’m bound, in You I’m free, in You I’m found. Out of the darkness I lift up my eyes; unto the hills I feel my faith rise. Maker of heaven, Giver of life, You are my strength, my song in the night. My refuge, my shelter, now and forevermore - Maker of heaven, Giver of life, You are my strength, my song in the night. My refuge, my shelter, now and forevermore; my help comes from the Lord. My help comes from the Lord.

OPENING SONG Hallelujah for the Cross by Ross King and Todd Wright Faith’s Praises with Congregation

Up to the hill of Cal-vary, my Savior went coura-geously. And there He bled and died for me. Hallelujah for the cross! And on that day the world was changed; a final, perfect Lamb was slain. Let earth and heaven now proclaim: Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus) Hallelujah for the war He fought! Love has won, death has lost.

Hallelujah for the souls He bought! Hallelujah for the cross!

What good I’ve done could never save; my debt too great for deeds to pay. But God, my Savior, made a way. Hallelujah for the cross! A slave to sin, my life was bound, but all my chains fell to the ground, When Jesus’ blood came flowing down. Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus) And when I breathe my final breath, I’ll have no need to fear that rest. This hope will guide me into death: Hallelujah for the cross! (chorus 2x) Hallelujah for the cross! Hallelujah for the cross! OUR SUNDAY SCHOOL CHILDREN SING

INVOCATION

P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

OPENING SENTENCES Psalm 27:1, 4a, 5

P The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?

3

C The Lord is the stronghold of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

P One thing have I asked of the Lord, that will I seek after:

C that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

P For He will hide me in His shelter in the day of trouble;

C He will conceal me under the cover of His tent; He will lift me high upon a rock.

CONFESSION and ABSOLUTION Psalm 27:6, 9; Isaiah 55:6–7

P As we come to the house of the Lord, we know that we are unworthy of God’s love. We have sinned against friends and families, neighbors and co-workers.

C We have not loved God with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbors as

ourselves. We have grumbled against God and His authorities. We have sought selfish

desires instead of God’s will.

P We turn to God in repentance and implore Him for mercy.

Silence for reflection

P Lord, hide not Your face from us. Turn not Your servants away in anger.

C Do not forsake us, O God of our salvation!

P The prophet Isaiah writes, “Seek the Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near; let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, that He may have compassion on him, and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” The Lord is near to you. He has drawn near in the person of Jesus Christ, whose death and resurrection bring forgiveness, life, and salvation. As a called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the � Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen. And now my head shall be lifted up. I will offer sacrifices with shouts of joy; I

will sing and make melody to the Lord.

���� WORD ����

INTROIT Psalm 116:12–13, 15–16; antiphon: Psalm 116:17

P I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving

C and call on the name of the LORD

P What shall I render to the LORD

C for all his benefits to me?

P I will lift up the cup of salvation

C and call on the name of the LORD,

P Precious in the sight of the LORD

4

C is the death of his saints.

P O LORD, I am your servant;

C I am your servant, the son of your maidservant.

You have loosed my bonds.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and the Holy Spirit,

As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.

P I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving

C and call on the name of the LORD KYRIE

P Lord, have mercy upon us.

C Christ, have mercy upon us.

C Lord, have mercy upon us.

SONG OF PRAISE 10,000 Reasons by Matt Redman and Jonas Myrin Faith’s Praises with Congregation

(refrain)

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul. Worship His holy name.

Sing like never before, O my soul. I’ll worship Your holy name. The sun comes up, it’s a new day dawning. It’s time to sing Your song again. Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me – let me be singing when the evening comes. (refrain) You’re rich in love and You’re slow to anger. Your name is great and Your heart is kind. For all Your goodness I will keep on singing – ten thousand reasons for my heart to find. (refrain) And on that day when my strength is failing, the end draws near and my time has come, Still my soul will sing Your praise unending, ten thousand years and then forevermore. Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul. Worship His holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul. I’ll worship Your holy name, Worship Your holy name. God, I’ll worship Your holy name. Sing like never before, O my soul, I’ll worship Your holy name. I’ll worship Your holy name. God, I’ll worship Your holy name.

SERMON SONG You Are My King by Billy James Foote Faith’s Praises with Congregation

I’m forgiven – because You were forsaken. I’m accepted – You were condemned. I’m alive and well, Your Spirit is within me - because You died and rose again. Amazing love, how can it be – that You, my King, would die for me? Amazing love, I know it’s true. It’s my joy to honor You. (repeat) In all I do – I honor You. You – are my King. You – are my King. Jesus, You - are my King. Jesus, You – are my King. Amazing love, how can it be – that You, my King, would die for me? Amazing love, I know it’s true. It’s my joy to honor You. (repeat) In all I do – I honor You. (3x) Amazing love, how can it be? SERMON “Forgiveness – Part 2: The God of Compassion” (Isaiah 55:7)

C hear our prayer.

LORD’S PRAYER

C 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 and ever. Amen.

IN REGARD TO HOLY COMMUNION: According to Scripture, Holy Communion should be celebrated by those who are: United in a common faith (1 Cor. 10:16-17, 21-22; Rom. 16:17); Repentant of sins (1 Cor. 5:11, Matt. 18:17-18); Able to examine their lives (1 Cor. 11:27-29); and believe that in this precious meal they receive the true body and blood of Jesus given and shed for the forgiveness of their sins (Luke 22:19-22). Since Scripture teaches that those people who do not fully understand the meaning of this meal eat and drink to their own harm (1Cor. 11:27-29), and because the Lord’s Supper is the supreme act of stating our unity in faith and doctrine, we would ask those people who are visiting with us to please speak with one of our pastors, before communing, in order that we might fulfill our responsibility of properly instructing people in the right use of the precious Sacrament.

P The Lord be with you. C And also with you.

P Lift up your hearts. C We lift them to the Lord.

P Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

C It is right to give Him thanks and praise.

P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God, through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who on this day overcame death and the grave and by His glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life. Therefore, with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven we laud and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:

SANCTUS

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

P In Your righteous judgment You condemned the sin of Adam and Eve, who ate the forbidden fruit, and You justly barred them and all their children from the tree of life. Yet, in Your great mercy, You promised salvation by a second Adam, Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, and made His cross a life-giving tree for all who trust in Him.

We give You thanks for the redemption You have prepared for us through Jesus Christ. Grant us Your Holy Spirit that we may faithfully eat and drink of the fruits of His cross and receive the blessings of forgiveness, life, and salvation that come to us in His body and blood.

C Amen.

Come, set Your rule and reign, in our hearts again, Increase in us we pray, unveil why we’re made. Come, set our hearts ablaze with hope, like wildfire in our very souls, Holy Spirit, come invade us now. We are Your church; we need Your pow’r in us.

We are Your church; we pray, “revive this earth.” (chorus) (chorus) Build Your kingdom here, let the darkness fear;

Show Your mighty hand, heal our streets and land.

Set Your church on fire, win this nation back;

Change the atmosphere, build Your kingdom here, we pray. Unleash Your kingdom’s power, reaching near and far. No force of hell can stop Your beauty changing hearts.

12

You made us for much more than this, awake the kingdom seed in us, Fill us with the strength and love of Christ. We are Your church; You are our hope on earth. (chorus 2x)
