God of grace and God of glory, on Thy people pour Ty power;Crown Thine ancient church’s story; Bring its bud to glorious flower.Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the facing of this hour, for the facing of this hour.
Lo’ the hosts of evil round us scorn Thy Christ, assail Thy ways!From the fears that long have bound us free our hearts to faith and praise.Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, for the living of these days, for the living of these days.
Cure Thy children’s waring madness, bned our pride to Thy control;Shame our wanton, selfish gladness, rich in things and poor in soul.Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal, lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal.
Set our feet on lofty places; gird our lives that they may beArmored with all Christ-like graces, pledged to set all captives free.Grant us wisdom, grant us courage, that we fail not them nor Thee! That we fail not them nor Thee!

PRAYER OF CONFESSIONMerciful Savior, we are a wayward people. When dead in our sin, you gave us life. Even still, we wanderaway from you, but when we cry out, you rescue us and carry us home. We have been sick, broken andneedy, and you healed and restored us. We are undeserving, yet, your love is so deep, your mercy sowide, your embrace so encompassing that you have done for us what we can never do for ourselves. Youhave made us your own. You have forgiven us and loved us. We receive this gift with gratitude, joy andawe. For the sake of Christ we pray.

our sins are forgiven and we are made new creatures.All Thanks be to God! Amen.

*THE APOSTLES’ CREEDI BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the VirginMary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the thirdday he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God theFather Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

SCRIPTURE Joshua 1:1-11After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant,saying, 2 “My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into theland that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. 3 Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon Ihave given to you, as I promised to Moses. 4 From the wilderness and the Lebanon as far as the great river,
the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, to the Great Sea in the west shall be your territory. 5 No oneshall be able to stand against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I willnot fail you or forsake you. 6 Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession of theland that I swore to their ancestors to give them. 7 Only be strong and very courageous, being careful toact in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the righthand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. 8 This book of the law shall not departout of your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordancewith all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall besuccessful. 9 I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for theLord your God is with you wherever you go.” 10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, 11“Passthrough the camp, and command the people: ‘Prepare your provisions; for in three days you are to crossover the Jordan, to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God gives you to possess.’”This is the Word of the Lord!Thanks be to God!
SERMON Here Comes the Future: The Lord Is With Us Pastor Rosalind
*HYMN OF DISCIPLESHIP #361 How Firm A FoundationPresented by Kelley Hart and Steve Parker
How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord,Is laid for your faith in God’s excellent Word!What more can be said than to you God hath said,To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?
“Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed,For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid;I’ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.
“When through the deep waters I call thee to go,The rivers of sorrow shall not overflow;For I will be near thee, thy troubles to bless,And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress.
“When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply;The flame shall not hurt thee; I only designThy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.
“The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,I will not, I will not desert to its foes;That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake.I’ll never, no, never, no, never forsake.”
