Scripture: Psalm 51:1-10
1 Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy, blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you alone, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you are justified in your sentence and blameless when you pass judgment. 5 Indeed, I was born guilty, a sinner when my mother conceived me.
6 You desire truth in the inward being;[a] therefore teach me wisdom in my secret heart. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have crushed rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and put a new and right[b] spirit within me.
“Come Thou Fount”
Hymn #51
Come Thou fount of every 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
Here I raise my Ebenezer Hither by Thy help I'm come And I hope by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Oh, to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be Let Thy grace, now like a fetter, Bind my yeilded 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
“Amazing Grace”
Hymn #85
Amazing grace!
how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
‘Twas grace that taught
my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!
The Lord has promised
good to me;
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures.
Thro’ many dangers,
toils, and snares
I have already come.
‘Tis grace hath bro’t me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
When we’ve been there
ten thousand years,
Bright, shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days
To sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun
“And Can it Be”
Hymn #225
And can it be that I should gain
An int’rest in the Savior’s blood?
Died He for me,
Who caused His pain?
For me who Him to death pursued?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?
Amazing love! How can it be
That Thou, my God,
shouldst die for me?
He left His Father’s throne above,
So free, so infinite His grace!
Emptied Himself
Of all but love,
And bled for Adam’s
helpless race.
‘Tis mercy all,
immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me!
‘Tis mercy all,
immense and free,
For, O my God, it found out me
Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night.
Thine eye diffused
A quick’ning ray.
I woke; the dungeon
flamed with light!
My chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth,
and followed Thee.
My chains fell off; my heart was free.
I rose, went forth,
and followed Thee.
No condemnation now I dread;
Jesus, and all in Him, is mine!
Alive in Him,
my living Head,
And clothed in righteousness divine,
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown,
thro’ Christ, my own.
Bold I approach the eternal throne
And claim the crown,
thro’ Christ, my own.
!Scripture: Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28
11 At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem: A hot wind comes from me out of the bare heights[a] in the desert toward the daughter of my people, not to winnow or cleanse, 12 a wind too strong for that. Now it is I who speak in judgment against them.
22 “For my people are foolish; they do not know me; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are skilled in doing evil but do not know how to do good.”
23 I looked on the earth, and it was complete chaos, and to the heavens, and they had no light. 24 I looked on the mountains, and they were quaking, and all the hills moved to and fro. 25 I looked, and there was no one at all, and all the birds of the air had fled. 26 I looked, and the fruitful land was a desert, and all its cities were laid in ruins before the Lord, before his fierce anger.
27 For thus says the Lord:
The whole land shall be a desolation,
yet I will not make a full end.
28 Because of this the earth shall mourn and the heavens above grow black, for I have spoken; I have purposed; I have not relented, nor will I turn back.

Pastoral Prayer-Joys & Concerns
Scripture: Luke 15:1-10
1 Now all the tax collectors and sinners were coming near to listen to him. 2 And the Pharisees and the scribes were grumbling and saying, “This fellow welcomes sinners and eats with them.”
3 So he told them this parable: 4 “Which one of you, having a hundred sheep and losing one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the wilderness and go after the one that is lost until he finds it? 5 And when he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders and rejoices. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and neighbors, saying to them, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, ‘Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin that I had lost.’ 10 Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.”
“Thy Mercy, My God”
Thy mercy my God is the theme of my song, The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue. Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last, Hath won my affection and bound my soul fast.
Without Thy sweet mercy, I could not live here. Sin would reduce me to utter despair, But through Thy free goodness, my spirit's revived And He that first made me still keeps me alive.
Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart, Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart. Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground And weep for the praise of the mercy I've found.
Hallelujah (Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own In the covenant love of Thy crucified Son. All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine. All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine Seals mercy and pardon and righteousness mine.
Well, Hallelujah Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Well, Hallelujah
“I Stand Amazed in the Presence”
1 I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner condemned, unclean.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!
2 For me it was in the garden, He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.” He had no tears for His own griefs, But sweat-drops of blood for mine.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior’s love for me!
3 In pity angels beheld Him, And came from the world of light To strengthen Him in the sorrows He bore for my soul that night.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!
4 He took my sins and my sorrows, He made them His very own; He bore the burden to Calv’ry, And suffered, and died alone.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!
5 When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see, ’Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for me.
How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me!

Scripture: 1 Timothy 1:12-17
12 I am grateful to Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because he considered me faithful and appointed me to his service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor, and a man of violence. But I received mercy because I had acted ignorantly in unbelief, 14 and the grace of our Lord overflowed for me[a] with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. 15 The saying is sure and worthy of full acceptance: that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the foremost. 16 But for that very reason I received mercy, so that in me, as the foremost, Jesus Christ might display the utmost patience as an example to those who would come to believe in him for eternal life. 17 To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible,[b] the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever.[c] Amen.
