Psalm 98
1 O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory. 2 The Lord has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations. 3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises. 5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody. 6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it. 8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy 9 at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
Sanctuary
Lord prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true;
With thanksgiving,
I’ll be a living Sanctuary for You
O How I Love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
My Faith Looks Up to Thee
My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray
Take all my guilt away
O let me from this day
Be wholly Thine
2 May thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart
My zeal inspire!
As thou hast died for me
O may my love to thee Pure,
warm, and changeless be A living fire!
3 While life's dark maze I tread,
and griefs around me spread,be thou my guide;
bid darkness turn to day,
wipe sorrow's tears away,
nor let me ever stray from thee aside.
4 When ends life's transient dream,
when death's cold, sullen stream
shall o'er me roll,blest Savior,
then, in love,fear and distrust remove;
O bear me safeabove,a ransomed soul.
Acts 10:44-48
44 While Peter was still speaking, the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word. 45 The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles, 46 for they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God. Then Peter said, 47 “Can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit just as we have?” 48 So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they invited him to stay for several days.
Pastor Prayer/Joys & Concerns
John 15:9-17
9 As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you; abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete.
12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. 14 You are my friends if you do what I command you. 15 I do not call you servants[a] any longer, because the servant[b] does not know what the master is doing; but I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I have heard from my Father. 16 You did not choose me but I chose you. And I appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask him in my name. 17 I am giving you these commands so that you may love one another.
Rock of Ages
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the waters and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure.
Could my tears forever flow,
Could my zeal no languor know,
These for sin could not atone;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.
In my hand no price I bring;
Simply to Thy cross I cling.
While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyes shall close in death
,When I rise to worlds unknown,
And behold Thee on Thy throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me
,Let me hide myself in Thee
Living by Faith
1 I care not today what the morrow may
bring,If shadow or sunshine or rain,
The Lord I know ruleth o’er everything,
And all of my worry is vain
Living by faith in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
2 Though tempests may blow and the storm clouds arise,
Obscuring the brightness of life,
I’m never alarmed at the overcast skies—
The Master looks on at thestrife.
Living by faith in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
3 I know that He safely will carry me through,
No matter what evils betide;
Why should I then care though the tempest may blow,
If Jesus walks close to my side.
Living by faith in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faithand feel no alarm.
4 Our Lord will return to this earth some sweet day;
Our troubles will then all be o’er;
The Master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
Living by faith in Jesus above,
Trusting, confiding in His great love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
1 John 5:1-6
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ[a] has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. 2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, 4 for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith. 5 Who is it that conquers the world but the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?
6 This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ, not with the water only but with the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one that testifies, for the Spirit is the truth.
