Scripture: Psalm 145:8-14
8 The Lord is gracious and merciful, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 The Lord is good to all, and his compassion is over all that he has made.
10 All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your faithful shall bless you.
11 They shall speak of the glory of your kingdom, and tell of your power,
12 to make known to all people your mighty deeds, and the glorious splendor of your kingdom.
13 Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your dominion endures throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words, and gracious in all his deeds.
14 The Lord upholds all who are falling, and raises up all who are bowed down
“It's Just Like His Great Love”
Hymn #393
A Friend I have, called Jesus,
Whose love is strong and true
And never fails, howe’er ‘tis tried-
No matter what I do.
I’ve sinned against this love of His;
But when I knelt to pray,
Confessing all my guilt to Him,
The sin-clouds rolled away.
It’s just like Jesus
to roll the clouds away.
It’s just like Jesus
to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus
all along the way.
It’s just like His great love.
Sometimes the clouds of trouble
Be-dim the sky above.
I cannot see my Savior’s face;
I doubt His wondrous love.
But He, from heaven’s mercy seat,
Beholding my despair,
In pity bursts the clouds between
And shows me He is there.
It’s just like Jesus
to roll the clouds away.
It’s just like Jesus
to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus
all along the way.
It’s just like His great love.
When sorrow’s clouds o’er take me
And break upon my head,
When life seems worse than useless
And earthly hopes are dead,
I take my grief to Jesus then;
Nor do I go in vain,
For heav’nly hope He gives that cheers
Like sunshine after rain.
It’s just like Jesus
to roll the clouds away.
It’s just like Jesus
to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus
all along the way.
It’s just like His great love.
O I could sing forever
Of Jesus’ love divine-
Of all His care and tenderness
For this poor life of mine.
His love is in and over all,
And wind and waves obey
When Jesus whispers, “Peace, be still!”
And rolls the clouds away.
It’s just like Jesus
to roll the clouds away.
It’s just like Jesus
to keep me day by day.
It’s just like Jesus
all along the way.
It’s just like His great love.
“Because He Lives”
Hymn #256
God sent His Son-
they called Him Jesus;
He came to love, heal and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon;
An empty grave is there to prove
my Savior lives.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
How sweet to hold a newborn baby
And feel the pride and joy he gives;
But greater still the calm assurance:
This child can face uncertain days
because He lives.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
And then one day I’ll cross the river;
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain.
And then, as death
gives way to vic-t’ry.
I’ll see the lights of glory –
and I’ll know He reigns.
Because He lives,
I can face tomorrow;
Because He lives, all fear is gone.
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living –
just because He lives.
Doxology
Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns
Scripture: Matthew 11:16-19, 25-30
16 "But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another,
17 "We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, "He has a demon';
19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, "Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds."
25 At that time Jesus said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants;
26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.
27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.
28 "Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."

We've been hiding,
in the shadows
Lost and afraid of you
We've been wandering,
in the darkness
But if we only knew
We are known and loved
Known and loved
We are known and loved by you
You've been waiting,
to show us mercy
Your presence is our home
We're your children,
loved forever
Now every fear is gone
We are known and loved
Known and loved
We are known and loved by you
Scripture: Romans 7:15-25a
15 I do not understand my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate.
16 Now if I do what I do not want, I agree that the law is good.
17 But in fact it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
18 For I know that nothing good dwells within me, that is, in my flesh. I can will what is right, but I cannot do it.
19 For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I do.
20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I that do it, but sin that dwells within me.
21 So I find it to be a law that when I want to do what is good, evil lies close at hand.
22 For I delight in the law of God in my inmost self,
23 but I see in my members another law at war with the law of my mind, making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.
24 Wretched man that I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?
25 Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh I am a slave to the law of sin.
