Scripture: Psalm 99
1 The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble! He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
2 The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.
3 Let them praise your great and awesome name. Holy is he!
4 Mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Extol the Lord our God; worship at his footstool. Holy is he!
6 Moses and Aaron were among his priests, Samuel also was among those who called on his name. They cried to the Lord, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud; they kept his decrees, and the statutes that he gave them.
8 O Lord our God, you answered them; you were a forgiving God to them, but an avenger of their wrongdoings.
9 Extol the Lord our God, and worship at his holy mountain; for the Lord our God is holy.
“Shine, Jesus, Shine”
Lord, the light of Your love is shining,
In the midst of the darkness shining;
Jesus, light of the world,
shine upon us,
Set us free by the truth
You now bring us;
Shine on me.
Shine on me.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Lord, I come to
Your awesome presence,
From the shadows
into Your radiance;
By the blood I may enter
Your brightness;
Search me, try me,
Consume all my darkness;
Shine on me.
Shine on me.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Flood the nations
with grace and mercy;
Send forth Your Word, Lord,
and let there be light.
As we gaze on
Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display
Your likeness,
As we gaze on
Your kingly brightness,
So our faces display
Your likeness,
Ever changing from glory to glory;
Mirrored here,
May our lives tell Your story;
Shine on me.
Shine on me.
Shine, Jesus, shine,
fill this land with the Father’s glory;
Blaze, spirit, blaze,
set our hearts on fire.
Flow, river, flow,
Flood the nations
with grace and mercy;

and let there be light.
“Crown Him with Many Crowns”
Hymn #272
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Thro’ all eternity.
Crown Him the Lord of Love!
Behold His hands and side-
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his wond’ring eyes
At mysteries so bright.
Crown Him the Lord of Life!
Who triumphed o’er the grave;
Who rose victorious to the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing
Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Crown Him the Lord of Heav’n!
One with the Father known,
One with the Spirit thro’ Him giv’n
From yonder glorious throne.
To Thee be endless praise,
For Thou for us hast died.
Be Thou, O Lord, thro’ endless days
Adored and magnified!
“I’d Rather Have Jesus”
Hymn #456
I’d rather have Jesus
than silver or gold;
I’d rather be His
than have riches untold;
I’d rather have Jesus
than houses or lands.
I’d rather be led
by His nail-pierced hand
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I’d rather have Jesus
than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus
than world-wide fame.
I’d rather be true to His holy name
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
He’s fairer than lilies
of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey
from out of the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs.
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead
Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
Scripture: Exodus 24:12-18
12 The Lord said to Moses, "Come up to me on the mountain, and wait there; and I will give you the tablets of stone, with the law and the commandment, which I have written for their instruction."
13 So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua, and Moses went up into the mountain of God.
14 To the elders he had said, "Wait here for us, until we come to you again; for Aaron and Hur are with you; whoever has a dispute may go to them."
15 Then Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 The glory of the Lord settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days; on the seventh day he called to Moses out of the cloud.
17 Now the appearance of the glory of the Lord was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the sight of the people of Israel.
18 Moses entered the cloud, and went up on the mountain. Moses was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights.

Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns”
Scripture: 2 Peter 1:16-21
16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been eyewitnesses of his majesty.
17 For he received honor and glory from God the Father when that voice was conveyed to him by the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, my Beloved, with whom I am well pleased."
18 We ourselves heard this voice come from heaven, while we were with him on the holy mountain.
19 So we have the prophetic message more fully confirmed. You will do well to be attentive to this as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.
20 First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
21 because no prophecy ever came by human will, but men and women moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

Scripture: Matthew 17:1-9
1 Six days later, Jesus took with him Peter and James and his brother John and led them up a high mountain, by themselves.
2 And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became dazzling white.
3 Suddenly there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him.
4 Then Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here; if you wish, I will make three dwellings here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
5 While he was still speaking, suddenly a bright cloud overshadowed them, and from the cloud a voice said, "This is my Son, the Beloved; with him I am well pleased; listen to him!"
6 When the disciples heard this, they fell to the ground and were overcome by fear.
7 But Jesus came and touched them, saying, "Get up and do not be afraid."
8 And when they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus himself alone.
9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus ordered them, "Tell no one about the vision until after the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."
