Invocation / Call to Worship
Daniel 7:9-10 ESV
9 “As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.
--
10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.

"Higher Ground" #532
Verse 1
I'm pressing on
the upward way
New heights I'm
gaining ev'ry day
Still praying as
I'm onward bound
Lord plant my feet
on higher ground
Chorus 1
Lord lift me up
and let me stand
By faith on
heaven's tableland
A higher plane
than I have found
Lord plant my feet
on higher ground
Verse 2
My heart has no
desire to stay
Where doubts arise
and fears dismay
Tho' some may dwell
where these abound
My pray'r my aim
is higher ground
Verse 3
I want to live
above the world
Tho' Satan's darts
at me are hurled
For faith has caught
the joyful sound
The song of saints
on higher ground
Verse 4
I want to scale
the utmost height
And catch a gleam
of glory bright
But still I'll pray
till heav'n I've found
Lord lead me on
to higher ground
I'm pressing on
the upward way
New heights I'm
gaining ev'ry day
Still praying as
I'm onward bound
Lord plant my feet
on higher ground

Scripture Reading
Hebrews 8:6-13
6 But as it is, Christ has obtained a ministry that is as much more excellent than the old as the covenant he mediates is better, since it is enacted on better promises.
--
7 For if that first covenant had been faultless, there would have been no occasion to look for a second.
--
8 For he finds fault with them when he says: “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah,
--
9 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt. For they did not continue in my covenant, and so I showed no concern for them, declares the Lord.
--
10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my laws into their minds, and write them on their hearts, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
--
11 And they shall not teach, each one his neighbor and each one his brother, saying, ‘Know the Lord,’ for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.
--
12 For I will be merciful toward their iniquities, and I will remember their sins no more.”
--
13 In speaking of a new covenant, he makes the first one obsolete. And what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away.

"The Old Rugged Cross" #230
VERSE 1
On a hill far away
stood an old
rugged cross
The emblem of
suff’ring and shame
And I love
that old cross
where the dearest
and best
For a world
of lost sinners
was slain
CHORUS
So I’ll cherish
the old rugged cross
Till my trophies
at last I lay down
I will cling to
the old rugged cross
And exchange it
some day for a crown
VERSE 2
Oh that old
rugged cross
so despised
by the world
Has a wondrous
attraction for me
For the dear
Lamb of God
left His glory above
To bear it to
dark Calvary
CHORUS
So I’ll cherish
the old rugged cross
Till my trophies
at last I lay down
I will cling to
the old rugged cross
And exchange it
some day for a crown
VERSE 3
In the old
rugged cross
stained with blood
so divine
A wondrous
beauty I see
For ’twas on
that old cross
Jesus suffered
and died
To pardon
and sanctify me
CHORUS
So I’ll cherish
the old rugged cross
Till my trophies
at last I lay down
I will cling to
the old rugged cross
And exchange it
some day for a crown
VERSE 4
To the old
rugged cross
I will ever
be true
Its shame
and reproach
gladly bear
Then He’ll call
me some day
to my home
far away
Where His glory
forever I’ll share
CHORUS
So I’ll cherish
the old rugged cross
Till my trophies
at last I lay down
I will cling to
the old rugged cross
And exchange it
some day for a crown
