CALL TO WORSHIP

L: Hear us, Shepherd of Israel, You who lead us like a flock. You who sit enthroned between the cherubim, shine forth and awaken Your might; come and save us.
C: Restore us, O God; make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
L: How long, LORD God Almighty, will Your anger smolder against the prayers of Your people?
C: Restore us, God Almighty; make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
L: Return to us, God Almighty! Look down from heaven and see! Let Your hand rest on the man at Your right hand, the Son of man You have raised up for Yourself.
C: Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name. Restore us, LORD God Almighty; make Your face shine on us, that we may be saved.
L: Let us join together in praise and worship of the man, the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ that God has raised up for Himself and us.

HYMN
“To God Be the Glory" #98

1. To God be the glory, great things he hath done!
So loved he the world that he gave us his Son,
who yielded his life an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate that all may go in.

Refrain:
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father thru Jesus the Son,
and give him the glory, great things he hath done!

2. O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,
to every believer the promise of God;
the vilest offender who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus a pardon receives.
(Refrain)

3. Great things he hath taught us, great things he hath done,
and great our rejoicing thru Jesus the Son;
but purer, and higher, and greater will be
our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.
(Refrain)
UNISON PRAYER

Almighty God: From the beginning of time to the end of eternity, You have chosen to use Your power and majesty to love us, to redeem us, to shape us as Your people.
King of Kings and Lord of Lords: You became weak so You could confront the strength of sin and death, confounding their ridicule with Your resurrection.
Spirit of God, resting upon us: May Your power enflame us with Your peace; may Your peace touch us with Your grace; may Your grace fill us with Your hope; may Your hope lead many into Your Kingdom.
Holy Triune God: Bless us now with Your holy presence and receive our offering of praise, worship, and thanksgiving. Bless us as we bless You for all you have done for us in Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. It is in His mighty name we pray. Amen.

(Adapted from a prayer written by Thom M. Shuman)
HYMN (8:30)
"All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name" #154

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,
who from his altar call;
extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod,
and crown him Lord of all.
Extol the Stem of Jesse's Rod,
and crown him Lord of all.

6. 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.

PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

Breakthrough Prayer:
Holy God, We long to be a church that faithfully fulfills the mission you gave us of making disciples of Jesus Christ so that the world may be transformed by his love and grace. We know we cannot do this alone and need the power of your Holy Spirit to accomplish this. We ask not only for the anointing of your Spirit to empower us, but we humbly pray for your miraculous intercession to see those we need to reach and how to reach out to them; that you draw the lost and those who are searching to our church through its ministries and our personal witness. We ask this that you may be glorified and that others will come to know Jesus as Lord. Amen.

Pastoral Prayer
Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven hallowed be thy name. Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

RESPONSE
"My Hope Is Built" #368

1. My hope is built on nothing less
than Jesus' blood and righteousness.
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

Refrain:
On Christ the solid rock I stand,
all other ground is sinking sand;
all other ground is sinking sand.

2. When darkness veils his lovely face,
I rest on his unchanging grace.
In every high and stormy gale,
my anchor holds within the veil.
(Refrain)

3. His oath, his covenant, his blood
supports me in the whelming flood.
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.
(Refrain)

4. When he shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in him be found!
Dressed in his righteousness alone,
faultless to stand before the throne!
(Refrain)
