God of Our Salvation
Phil Wickham

Come and see His glory
Come just as you are
Come and hear the story of His heart
God so loved His children
He gave His only Son
That we might be forgiven,
Death has been overcome

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You are the God of our salvation
You have conquered, You have risen
You are the God of our salvation

Come you tired and weary
Come just as you are
Come and let His mercy heal your heart
For God so loved His children
That He gave His only Son
That we might be forgiven,
Death has been overcome

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You are the God of our salvation
You have conquered, You have risen
You are the God of our salvation

Holy Holy Holy
Is the Lord our God
Mighty King of Glory,
You have rescued us

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You are the God of our salvation
You have conquered, You have risen
You are the God of our salvation

 

 

 

 

 

Call to Worship
Adapted from Psalm 141

We call to you, Lord!  Come quickly to us!  Hear us when we call to you.  May our prayer be set before you like incense.  May the lifting up of our hands be like the evening sacrifice.

Set a guard over our mouths, Lord.  Keep watch over our words.  Do not let our hearts be drawn to what is evil.  Keep us from taking part in wicked deeds.

Let a righteous man strike me - that is a kindness.  Let him rebuke me - that is oil on my head.  I will not refuse it.

Our eyes are fixed on you, Sovereign Lord.  We take refuge in you - do not give us over to death.  Keep us safe from the schemes of evildoers.

 

 

 

 


All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
Edward Peronet, John Rippon, Oliver Holden

All hail the power of Jesus’ name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all

Lord of all, You are Lord of all
Lord of all, You are Lord of all

Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all

Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget
The wormwood and the gall
Go spread your trophies at His feet
And crown Him Lord of all
Go spread your trophies at His feet
And crown Him Lord of all

O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all
We’ll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all

 

 

 

 


Congregational Prayer

Gracious and loving Father,

Your majesty is beyond description.  Your glory is more than our sinful eyes could withstand to see.  Your holiness fills the heavens.

Yet, your mercy pursues us.  Your grace unveils our faces.  Your holiness reaches down to us, and transforms us into instruments of your redeeming love.  We marvel that you would use us.

May we never cease our wonderment at your amazing grace.  May we be bold and broken as we seek to lead others into your truth.

Lord, forgive our many sins.  Melt the icy casualness with which we approach you.  Enflame a single passion for your glory in our lives.  Create a deep hunger within us for Jesus Christ - your Son and our Savior.

Amen.

God With Us
Jason Ingram, Leslie Jordan

You've come to bring peace
To be love, to be nearer to us
You've come to bring life
To be light, to shine brighter in us
 Oh Emmanuel, God with us

Our Deliverer, You are Savior
In Your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our Redemption
God with us, You are God with us

You've come to be hope
To this world, for Your honor and Name
You've come to take sin
To bear shame, and to conquer the grave
 Oh Emmanuel, God with us

Our Deliverer, You are Savior
In Your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our Redemption
God with us, You are God with us

You are here
You are holy
We are standing in Your glory

Our Deliverer, You are Savior
In Your presence we find our strength
Over everything, our Redemption
God with us, You are God with us

 

 

 

 

All I Have is Christ
Jordan Kauflin

I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still

But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God’s love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
O Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life

 

 

 

 


Luke 17:20-37

20 Being asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, he answered them, “The kingdom of God is not coming in ways that can be observed, 21 nor will they say, ‘Look, here it is!’ or ‘There!’ for behold, the kingdom of God is in the midst of you.”

22 And he said to the disciples, “The days are coming when you will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look, there!’ or ‘Look, here!’ Do not go out or follow them. 24 For as the lightning flashes and lights up the sky from one side to the other, so will the Son of Man be in his day. 25 But first he must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation. 26 Just as it was in the days of Noah, so will it be in the days of the Son of Man. 27 They were eating and drinking and marrying and being given in marriage, until the day when Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all. 28 Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building, 29 but on the day when Lot went out from Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from heaven and destroyed them all— 30 so will it be on the day when the Son of Man is revealed. 31 On that day, let the one who is on the housetop, with his goods in the house, not come down to take them away, and likewise let the one who is in the field not turn back. 32 Remember Lot's wife. 33 Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it. 34 I tell you, in that night there will be two in one bed. One will be taken and the other left. 35 There will be two women grinding together. One will be taken and the other left.” 37 And they said to him, “Where, Lord?” He said to them, “Where the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.”

 

 

 

 

Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
Robert Robinson

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 name! I’m fixed upon it
Name of Thy redeeming love

Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I've 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 goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
