Call to Worship
Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your salvation. Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
Psalm 85:7-8 (ESV)
Worshiping God by Singing
We are God’s People
We are God’s people, the chosen of the Lord,
born of his Spirit, established by his Word;
our cornerstone is Christ alone, and strong in him we stand:
O let us live transparently,
and walk heart to heart and hand in hand.
We are God’s loved ones, the Bride of Christ our Lord,
for we have known it, the love of God outpoured;
Now let us learn how to return the gift of love once giv’n;
O let us share each joy and care,
and live with a zeal that pleases heav’n.
We are the Body of which the Lord is Head,
Called to obey him, now risen from the dead;
He wills us be a family, diverse yet truly one:
O let us give our gifts to God,
and so shall his work on earth be done.
We are a temple, the Spirit’s dwelling place,
Formed in great weakness, a cup to hold God’s grace;
We die alone, for on its own each member loses fire;
Yet joined in one the flame burns on
to give warmth and light, and to inspire.

Worshiping God by Confessing Our Sins
Lord, though you should guide us, we try to inform ourselves;
though you should rule us, we try to be in control;
though you should fulfill us, we try to console ourselves.
We think your truth too high, your will too hard,
your power too remote, your love too free. But they are not!
And without them, we are of all people most miserable.
Now heal our confused minds with your word,
heal our divided wills with your truth,
heal our troubled consciences with your love,
heal our anxious hearts with your presence,
all for the sake of your Son,
who loved us and gave himself for us.
Amen.
Worshiping God by Confessing Our Hope
Leader: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
​
Congregation: For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.
Ephesians 2:8-10
Worshiping God by Singing
Thy Works Not Mine O Christ
Thy works, not mine, O Christ,
Speak gladness to this heart;
They tell me all is done;
They bid my fear depart.
To whom, save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Thy wounds, not mine, O Christ,
Can heal my bruised soul,
Thy stripes not mine, contain
The balm to make me whole.
​
To whom, save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Thy cross, not mine, O Christ,
Has borne the awful load
Of sins that none could bear
but the incarnate God.
To whom, save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Thy death, not mine, O Christ,
Has paid the ransom due;
Ten thousand deaths like mine
Would have been all too few.
To whom, save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
Thy righteousness, O Christ,
Alone can cover me:
No righteousness avails
Save that which is of Thee.
To whom, save Thee, who canst alone
For sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

Turn Your Eyes
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Turn your eyes to the hillside
Where justice and mercy embraced
There the Son of God gave His life for us
And our measureless debt was erased
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You
Turn your eyes to the morning
And see Christ the lion awake
What a glorious dawn, fear of death is gone
For we carry His life in our veins
​
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You
Turn your eyes to the heavens
Our King will return for His own
Every knee will bow, every tongue will shout
“All glory to Jesus alone!”
Jesus, to You we lift our eyes
Jesus, our glory and our prize
We adore You, behold You, our Savior ever true
Oh Jesus, we turn our eyes to You

​Sermon: What Receiving the Word is Really Like
​
21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
James 1:21-25

Baptized into Your Name Most Holy
Baptized into your name most holy,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
I claim a place, though weak and lowly,
among your seed, your chosen host;
Buried with Christ, and dead to sin,
Your Spirit e'er shall live within.
My loving Father, me you've taken
fore'er to be your child and heir;
My faithful Savior, me you've given
Your righteous, holy life to share;
O Holy Spirit, you will be
a comfort, Guide, and help to me.
And I have vowed to fear and love you,
and to obey you, Lord, alone;
Because the Holy Spirit moved me
I dared to pledge myself your own,
Renouncing sin to keep the faith,
and war with evil unto death.
My faithful God, your Word fails never,
Your cov'nant surely will abide;
Oh cast me not away for ever,
should I transgress it on my side,
Though I have oft my soul defiled,
in love forgive, restore your child.
Yes, all I am and love most dearly
I offer now, O Lord, to you.
Oh let me make my vows sincerely,
and what I say, help me to do.
Let naught within me, naught I own,
serve any will but yours alone.
And never let my purpose falter,
O Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
But keep me faithful to your altar,
till you shall call me from my post;
So unto you I live and die,
and praise you evermore on high.
