WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

Good, Good Father  
I’ve heard a thousand stories  
Of what they think You’re like  
But I’ve heard the tender whisper  
Of love in the dead of night  
You tell me that You’re pleased  
And that I’m never alone  

You’re a Good, Good Father  
It’s who You are  
It’s who You are 
It’s who You are  
And I’m loved by You  
It’s who I am  
It’s who I am  
It’s who I am  

I’ve seen many searching for answers  
Far and wide  
But I know we’re all searching for answers  
Only You provide  
Because You know just what we need  
Before we say a word  

You are perfect in all of Your ways  
You are perfect in all of Your ways  
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us  

Love so undeniable I can hardly speak  
Peace so unexplainable I can hardly think  
As You call me deeper still  
As You call me deeper still  
As You call me deeper still  
Into love, love, love  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

Scripture Reading: Matthew 11: 21-28/ Michele Binkley  
“Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, on the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon than for you. And you, Capernaum,  will you be exalted to heaven?    No, you will be brought down to Hades.  “For if the deeds of power done in you had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. But I tell you that on the day of judgment it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom than for you.” 

At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.   

Sermon: Yeah, But...They Don't Deserve It/ Chap. Russell LaGrone

Another In The Fire  
There’s a grace  
When the heart is under fire  
Another way when the walls are closing in  
And when I look at the space between  
Where I used to be and this reckoning  
I know I will never be alone  

There was another in the fire  
Standing next to me  
There was another in the waters  
Holding back the seas  
And should I ever need reminding  
Of how I’ve been set free  
There is a cross that bears the burden  
Where another died for me  
There is another in the fire  

All my debt left for dead beneath the waters  
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore  
And should I fall in the space between  
What remains of me and this reckoning  
Either way I won’t bow  
To the things of this world  
I know I will never be alone  

There is another in the fire  
Standing next to me  
There is another in the waters  
Holding back the seas  
And should I ever need reminding  
What powers set me free  
There is a grave that holds no body 
Now that power lives in me  

And I can see the light in the darkness  
As the darkness bows to Him  
I can hear the roar in the heavens  
As the space between wears thin 
I can feel the ground shake beneath us  
As the prison walls cave in  
Nothing stays between us  
Nothing stays between us  

There is no other name  
But the name of Jesus  
He who was and still is  
And will be through it all  
So come what may in the space between  
All the things unseen and His reckoning  
I know I will never be alone  
I know I will never be alone  

There’ll be another in the fire  
Standing next to me  
There’ll be another in the waters  
Holding back the seas  
And should I ever need reminding  
How good You’ve been to me  
I’ll count the joy from every battle  
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

 Be Thou My Vision  
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart  
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art  
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,  
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light  

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word  
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord  
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son  
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one  

Riches I heed not, or man’s empty praise  
Thou mine inheritance, now and always  
Thou and Thou only, be first in my heart  
High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art  

High King of heaven, my victory won  
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun  
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall  
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all  

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

Praise 
I’ll praise in the valley  
Praise on the mountain  
I’ll praise when I’m sure  
Praise when I’m doubting 
I’ll praise when outnumbered  
Praise when surrounded  
‘Cause praise is the waters  
My enemies drown in  
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to   

Praise the Lord, oh my soul  
Praise the Lord, oh my soul  

I’ll praise when I feel it  
And I’ll praise when I don’t  
I’ll praise ‘cause I know  
You’re still in control  
My praise is a weapon  
It’s more than a sound  
My praise is the shout  
That brings Jericho down  
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to  

I won’t be quiet, my God is alive  
So how could I keep it inside  
Praise the Lord  
Oh my soul  

I’ll praise ‘cause You’re sov’reign  
Praise ‘cause You reign  
Praise ‘cause You rose and  
Defeated the grave  
I’ll praise ‘cause You’re faithful  
Praise ‘cause You’re true  
Praise ‘cause there’s nobody greater than You  

Congregational Benediction
Hear, O followers of Christ: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  We will love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength.  We will love our neighbors as ourselves, as Jesus taught:  showing mercy, seeking justice, walking humbly, and offering grace.  We will hold these words in our hearts and let them shape our lives.  We will teach them to our children, and speak of them in our homes and wherever we go.  We will surround ourselves with reminders of God’s love—  in what we choose, in what we say, and in how we live.  For this is the way of Christ. This is the way of life.
