Invocation

Scripture: Hosea 1:2-10

2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord."

3 So he went and took Gomer daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

4 And the Lord said to him, "Name him Jezreel; for in a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.

5 On that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."

6 She conceived again and bore a daughter. Then the Lord said to him, "Name her

Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have pity on the house of Israel or forgive them.

7 But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God; I will not save them by bow, or by sword, or by war, or by horses, or by horsemen."

8 When she had weaned Lo-ruhamah, she conceived and bore a son.

9 Then the Lord said, "Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not my people and I am not your God."

10 Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Children of the living God."

“Come Thou Fount”

Hymn #51

Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing,​

Tune my heart to sing Thy grace.​

Streams of mercy, never ceasing,​

Call for songs of loudest praise.​

Teach me some melodious sonnet,​

Sung by flaming tongues above.​

Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,​

Mount of God’s unchanging love.​

O to grace how great a debtor​

Daily I’m constrained to be!​

Let that grace, now like a fetter,​

Bind my yielded heart to Thee.​

Let me know Thee in Thy fullness;​

Guide me by Thy mighty hand​

Till, transformed, in Thine own image,​

In Thy presence I shall stand.​

“Holy, Holy, Holy”

Hymn #2

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!​

merciful and mighty!​

God in three Persons,​

blessed Trinity!​

Cherubim and seraphim​

falling down before Thee,​

Which wert, and art, and​

evermore shalt be.​

Holy, holy, holy!​

tho’ the darkness hide Thee,​

Tho’ the eye of sinful man​

Thy glory may not see;​

Only Thou art holy-​

There is none beside Thee​

Perfect in pow’r, ​

in love, in 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!​

Scripture: Colossians 2:6-15

6 As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him,

7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

8 See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the universe, and not according to Christ.

9 For in him the whole fullness of deity dwells bodily,

10 and you have come to fullness in him, who is the head of every ruler and authority.

11 In him also you were circumcised with a spiritual circumcision, by putting off the body of the flesh in the circumcision of Christ;

12 when you were buried with him in baptism, you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

13 And when you were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive together with him, when he forgave us all our trespasses,

14 erasing the record that stood against us with its legal demands. He set this aside, nailing it to the cross.

15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and made a public example of them, triumphing over them in it.

Offering

Doxology

Joys & Concerns

Scripture: Luke 11:1-13

1 He was praying in a certain place, and after he had finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples."

2 He said to them, "When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come.

3 Give us each day our daily bread.

4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial."

5 And he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and you go to him at midnight and say to him, "Friend, lend me three loaves of bread;

6 for a friend of mine has arrived, and I have nothing to set before him.'

7 And he answers from within, "Do not bother me; the door has already been locked, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot get up and give you anything.'

8 I tell you, even though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, at least because of his persistence he will get up and give him whatever he needs.

9 "So I say to you, Ask, and it will be given you; search, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened for you.

10 For everyone who asks receives, and everyone who searches finds, and for everyone who knocks, the door will be opened.

11 Is there anyone among you who, if your child asks for a fish, will give a snake instead of a fish?

12 Or if the child asks for an egg, will give a scorpion?

13 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will the heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!"

“King of Kings”

VERSE 1

In the darkness we were waiting

Without hope without light

Till from heaven You came running

There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfil the law and prophets

To a virgin came the Word

From a throne of endless glory

To a cradle in the dirt

CHORUS

Praise the Father

Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit three in one

God of glory Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 2

To reveal the kingdom coming

And to reconcile the lost

To redeem the whole creation

You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering

You saw to the other side

Knowing this was our salvation

Jesus for our sake You died

CHORUS

Praise the Father

Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit three in one

God of glory Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 3

And the morning that You rose

All of heaven held its breath

Till that stone was moved for good

For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs

And the angels stood in awe

For the souls of all who’d come

To the Father are restored

CHORUS

Praise the Father

Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit three in one

God of glory Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

VERSE 4

And the Church of Christ was born

Then the Spirit lit the flame

Now this gospel truth of old

Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name

In His freedom I am free

For the love of Jesus Christ

Who has resurrected me

CHORUS

Praise the Father

Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit three in one

God of glory Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

“How He Loves”

{Verse 1}

He is jealous for me

Loves like a hurricane

I am a tree bending beneath

The weight of His wind and mercy

When all of a sudden

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are

And how great Your affections are for me

{Chorus}

And oh how He loves us

Oh, oh how He loves us

How He loves us all

{Verse 2}

And He is jealous for me

Loves like a hurricane

I am a tree bending beneath

The weight of His wind and mercy

When all of a sudden

I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory

And I realize just how beautiful You are

And how great Your affections are for me

{Chorus}

And oh how He loves us

Oh, oh how He loves us

How He loves us all

{Post-Chorus}

Yeah, He loves us

Oh, how He loves us

Oh, how He loves us

Oh, how He loves

{Bridge}

And we are His portion

And He is our prize

Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes

If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking

When heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss

And my heart turns violently inside of my chest

I don't have time to maintain these regrets

When I think about the way that He loves us

{Chorus}

And oh how He loves us

Oh, oh how He loves us

How He loves us all

Scripture: Psalm 138

1 I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart; before the gods I sing your praise;

2 I bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness; for you have exalted your name and your word above everything.

3 On the day I called, you answered me, you increased my strength of soul.

4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

5 They shall sing of the ways of the Lord, for great is the glory of the Lord.

6 For though the Lord is high, he regards the lowly; but the haughty he perceives from far away.

7 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve me against the wrath of my enemies; you stretch out your hand, and your right hand delivers me.

8 The Lord will fulfill his purpose for me; your steadfast love, O Lord, endures forever. Do not forsake the work of your hands.
