PRAYER SEEKING SALVATION: Lord Jesus, I realize that I have sinned against You. I believe that You died for me and I now place my trust in You. Please forgive my sins and save me from the judgment to come. Help me to turn from my sins and live my life wholly for You, seeking to be obedient to You in everything.

PRAYER SEEKING SANCTIFICATION: Lord Jesus, I recognize my need for holiness. Purify me of all that is unlike You, fill me with Your Holy Spirit until I am totally Yours and set me apart for Your purposes from this day forward.

If you seek or have found salvation or sanctification today, please let a pastor know. We’re here to help you on your journey.

WORSHIP GUIDE

God is so glad you’ve set aside this time to worship Him. He inhabits the praise of His people. As we gather, please take a moment to ask God to prepare us for worship - to open our ears and minds to His voice, and to freely apply His word to our hearts and lives. Please also take a moment now to silence all electronic devices so that the Lord might have opportunity to freely speak to all.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

GOD’S TITHES AND OUR OFFERINGS Throughout the ages, even the most godless of peoples and nations have stood in awe of Jesus, the One who lived so lovingly, who spoke so wisely, and who gave His perfect life so willingly for the sins of others. Even in those hearts that struggle to believe in faith themselves, there is usually a holy respect for Jesus. That’s the way it is when most people encounter a truly giving person…there is always something very different about them, and almost always, that difference can be traced back to Jesus. In every way, let us all become like Christ in the grace of giving.

OFFERTORY Craig Courtney Who But the Lord? Sanctuary Choir

Who but the Lord can give the shadows light, can break into the dark, draw morning from the night? Who but the Lord will hear our cry and answer, “Here am I”? Who but the Lord makes blinded eyes to see, brings music to the deaf, sets the lonely captive free? Who but the Lord will by His glory show the paths of peace? Who but the Lord? O shine on us the brightness of Your face, to earth’s remotest end, every people, every race. O shine on us until to each is shown Your saving grace. O shine on us… Who but the Lord can give the shadows light? None but the Lord.

- Susan Bentall Boersma

GLORIA PATRI* Hymnal 623(GREATOREX)
