Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 103:1-8
1 Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name.
2 Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,
5 who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The LORD works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
“More Love to Thee, O Christ”
Hymn #463
1 More love to Thee, O Christ, More love to Thee! Hear Thou the prayer I make On bended knee; This is my earnest plea: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
2 Once earthly joy I craved, Sought peace and rest; Now Thee alone I seek, Give what is best; This all my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
3 Then shall my latest breath Whisper Thy praise; This be the parting cry My heart shall raise; This still my prayer shall be: More love, O Christ, to Thee, More love to Thee, More love to Thee!
“Little is Much When God Is in It”
Hymn #532
1 In the harvest field now ripened There’s a work for all to do; Hark! the voice of God is calling To the harvest calling you.
Refrain: Little is much when God is in it, Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ name.
2 Does the place you’re called to labor Seem too small and little known? It is great if God is in it, And He’ll not forget His own.
Refrain: Little is much when God is in it, Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ name.
3 Are you laid aside from service,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the battle
In the sacred place of prayer.
Refrain: Little is much when God is in it, Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ name.
4 When the conflict here is ended And our race on earth is run, He will say, if we are faithful, "Welcome home, My child, well done!"
Refrain: Little is much when God is in it, Labor not for wealth or fame; There’s a crown, and you can win it, If you go in Jesus’ name.
“I Surrender All”
Hymn #486
All to Jesus I surrender;
All to Him I freely give.
I will ever love and trust Him,
In His presence daily live.
I surrender all.
I surrender all.
All to Thee,
my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Humbly at His feet I bow,
Worldly pleasures all forsaken.
Take me, Jesus,
take me now.
I surrender all.
I surrender all.
All to Thee,
my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Savior, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that
Thou art mine.
I surrender all.
I surrender all.
All to Thee,
my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee.
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.
I surrender all.
I surrender all.
All to Thee,
my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
All to Jesus I surrender;
Now I feel the sacred flame.
O the joy of full salvation!
Glory, glory to His name!
I surrender all.
I surrender all.
All to Thee,
my blessed Savior,
I surrender all.
Scripture: Hebrews 12:18-29
18 You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm;
19 to a trumpet blast or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that no further word be spoken to them,
20 because they could not bear what was commanded: “If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be stoned to death.”
21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, “I am trembling with fear.”
22 But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly,
23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
24 to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.
25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven?
26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.”
27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
29 for our “God is a consuming fire.”
Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns
Scripture: Luke 13:10-17
10 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues,
11 and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all.
12 When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, “Woman, you are set free from your infirmity.”
13 Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God.
14 Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, “There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”
15 The Lord answered him, “You hypocrites! Doesn’t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water?
16 Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her?”
17 When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing.

“Yes, Lord, Yes”
I’ll say yes, Lord, yes
to Your will and to Your way.
I’ll say yes, Lord, yes;
I will trust You and obey.
When your Spirit speaks to me,
With my whole heart I’ll agree,
And my answer will be yes, Lord, yes.
Scripture: Jeremiah 1:4-10
4 The word of the LORD came to me, saying,
5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
6 “Alas, Sovereign LORD,” I said, “I do not know how to speak; I am too young.”
7 But the LORD said to me, “Do not say, ‘I am too young.’ You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you.
8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you,” declares the LORD.
9 Then the LORD reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, “I have put my words in your mouth.
10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant.”

“Nothing to Fear”
[Verse 1] When you pass through the waters, I will be with you And the depths of the river shall not overwhelm When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned I am the Lord, I am the Lord
[Chorus]
And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear
For I am with you always
[Verse 2] In the depths of your sorrow, I wept beside you When you walked through the shadow, I drew you near And yesterday, today, tomorrow, always the same I am the Lord, I am the Lord [Chorus] And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear For I am with you always And there is nothing to fear, nothing to fear There is nothing to fear, nothing to fear For I am with you always [Outro] What can separate you from My perfect love? What can separate you from My perfect love? What can separate you from My perfect love?
Do not fear
Do not fear
Do not fear
