Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 22:19-28
19 But you, LORD, do not be far from me. You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20 Deliver me from the sword, my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21 Rescue me from the mouth of the lions; save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22 I will declare your name to my people; in the assembly I will praise you.
23 You who fear the LORD, praise him! All you descendants of Jacob, honor him! Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24 For he has not despised or scorned the suffering of the afflicted one; he has not hidden his face from him but has listened to his cry for help.
25 From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows.
26 The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the LORD will praise him— may your hearts live forever!
27 All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the LORD, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him,
28 for dominion belongs to the LORD and he rules over the nations
“I’ve Got a River of Life Flowing Out of Me”
I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me Makes the lame to walk and the blind to see, Opens prison doors, sets the captives free I’ve got a river of life flowing out of me.
Chorus: Spring up, O well (splish splash) Within my soul, Spring up, O well (splish splash) And make me whole, Spring up, O well (splish splash) and give to me That life abundantly!
“Constantly Abiding”
Hymn #601
1 There’s a peace in my heart that the world never gave, A peace it cannot take away; Tho' the trials of life may surround like a cloud, I’ve a peace that has come there to stay!
Refrain: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine; Constantly abiding, rapture divine; He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O, so kind: “I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine.
2 All the world seemed to sing of a Savior and King, When peace sweetly came to my heart; Troubles all fled away and my night turned to day, Blessed Jesus, how glorious Thou art!
Refrain: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine; Constantly abiding, rapture divine; He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O, so kind: “I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine.
3 This treasure I have in a temple of clay, While here on His footstool I roam: But He’s coming to take me some glorious day, Over there to my heavenly home!
Refrain: Constantly abiding, Jesus is mine; Constantly abiding, rapture divine; He never leaves me lonely, whispers, O, so kind: “I will never leave thee,” Jesus is mine.
“He Hideth my Soul”
Hymn #572
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
A wonderful Savior is Jesus, my Lord.
He tak-eth my burden away.
He hold-eth me up,
and I shall not be moved.
He giv-eth me strength as my day.
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.
When, clothed in His bright-ness,
transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation,
His wonderful love
I’ll shout with the millions on high!
He hid-eth my soul in the cleft
of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land.
He hid-eth my life in the depths
of His love,
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand,
Galatians 3:23-29
23 Before the coming of this faith, we were held in custody under the law, locked up until the faith that was to come would be revealed.
24 So the law was our guardian until Christ came that we might be justified by faith.
25 Now that this faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian.
26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith,
27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise

Luke 8:26-39
26 They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee.
27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs.
28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don’t torture me!”
29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.
30 Jesus asked him, “What is your name?”“Legion,” he replied, because many demons had gone into him.
31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.
32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission.
33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.
34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside,
35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus’ feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid.
36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured.
37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.
38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying,
39 “Return home and tell how much God has done for you.” So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.
