3CALL TO WORSHIP
Praise the LORD!
Praise O servants of the Lord; praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!
Scripture Reference: Psalm 113:1-2
PRAISE TO THE LORD
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of Creation!
O my soul, praise Him, for He is your health and salvation!
Come, all who hear: brothers and sisters draw near,
Praise Him in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, above all things so mightily reigning;
Keeping us safe at His side, and so gently sustaining.
Have you not seen? All you have needed has been
Met by His gracious ordaining?
Praise to the Lord, who shall prosper our work and defend us;
Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend us.
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do,
Who with His love will befriend us.
Praise to the Lord – O let all that is in me adore Him!
All that has life and breath come now with praises before Him!
Let the “Amen ” sound from His people again –
Gladly with praise we adore Him!
Joachim Neander (1650 - 1680)
CONFESSION
Lord, you come to us, but we do not recognise you;
you call, but we do not follow;
you command, but we do not obey,
you bless us, but we do not thank you.
Please forgive and help us.
Lord, you accept us, but we do not accept others;
you forgive us, but we do not forgive those who wrong us;
you love us, but we do not love our neighbours.
Please forgive and help us.
4Lord, you showed us how to carry out your mission,
but we still insist on our own;
you identified yourself with outcasts, the needy, and the poor,
but we do not bother to find out what is happening to them;
you suffered and died for the sake of all,
but we do not give up our comfortable lives.
Please forgive and help us,
through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
SCRIPTURAL ASSURANCE OF PARDON
The LORD is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever.
He does not deal with us according to our sins, nor repay us according to our
iniquities.
Scripture Reference: Psalm 103:8-9
PRAYER OF PRAISE
THE LORD IS MY SALVATION
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I'll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation
Chorus
Who is like the Lord our God?
Strong to save, faithful in love
My debt is paid and the vict'ry won
The Lord is my salvation
5My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow'rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation
In times of waiting, times of need
When I know loss, when I am weak
I know His grace will renew these days
The Lord is my salvation
Chorus
And when I reach my final day
He will not leave me in the grave
But I will rise,
He will call me home
The Lord is my salvation
Chorus
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation
Chorus

PSALM 105:23-45
23
Then Israel came to Egypt;
Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
24
And the LORD made his people very fruitful
and made them stronger than their foes.
25
He turned their hearts to hate his people,
to deal craftily with his servants.
26
He sent Moses, his servant,
and Aaron, whom he had chosen.
627
They performed his signs among them
and miracles in the land of Ham.
28
He sent darkness, and made the land dark;
they did not rebel against his words.
29
He turned their waters into blood
and caused their fish to die.
30
Their land swarmed with frogs,
even in the chambers of their kings.
31
He spoke, and there came swarms of flies,
and gnats throughout their country.
32
He gave them hail for rain,
and fiery lightning bolts through their land.
33
He struck down their vines and fig trees,
and shattered the trees of their country.
34
He spoke, and the locusts came,
young locusts without number,
35
which devoured all the vegetation in their land
and ate up the fruit of their ground.
36
He struck down all the firstborn in their land,
the firstfruits of all their strength.
37
Then he brought out Israel with silver and gold,
and there was none among his tribes who stumbled.
38
Egypt was glad when they departed,
for dread of them had fallen upon it.
39
He spread a cloud for a covering,
and fire to give light by night.
40
They asked, and he brought quail,
and gave them bread from heaven in abundance.
41
He opened the rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed through the desert like a river.
42
For he remembered his holy promise,
and Abraham, his servant.
43
So he brought his people out with joy,
his chosen ones with singing.
44
And he gave them the lands of the nations,
and they took possession of the fruit of the peoples' toil,
45
that they might keep his statutes
and observe his laws.
Praise the LORD!
7PASTORAL PRAYER
EPHESIANS 3:1-21
1
For this reason I, Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus on behalf of you
Gentiles— 2 assuming that you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace that
was given to me for you, 3 how the mystery was made known to me by
revelation, as I have written briefly. 4 When you read this, you can perceive my
insight into the mystery of Christ, 5 which was not made known to the sons of
men in other generations as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and
prophets by the Spirit. 6 This mystery is that the Gentiles are fellow
heirs, members of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus
through the gospel.
7
Of this gospel I was made a minister according to the gift of God's grace,
which was given me by the working of his power. 8 To me, though I am the very
least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles
the unsearchable riches of Christ, 9 and to bring to light for everyone what is the
plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things, 10 so that
through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known
to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. 11 This was according to the
eternal purpose that he has realised in Christ Jesus our Lord, 12 in whom we
have boldness and access with confidence through our faith in him. 13 So I ask
you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.
14
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every
family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his
glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in
your inner being,17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that
you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend
with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to
know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with
all the fullness of God.
20
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or
think, according to the power at work within us,21 to him be glory in the church
and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.
8SERMON NOTES
The Mystery of God Revealed and Known
Ephesians 3:1-21
9GREAT IS THE GOSPEL
Great is the gospel of our glorious God,
Where mercy met the anger of God’s rod;
A penalty was paid and pardon bought,
And sinners lost at last to Him were brought:
Chorus:
O let the praises of my heart be Thine,
For Christ has died that I may call Him mine,
That I may sing with those who dwell above,
Adoring, praising Jesus, King of love.
Great is the mystery of godliness,
Great is the work of God’s own holiness;
It moves my soul, and causes me to long
For greater joys than to the earth belong:
Chorus
The Spirit vindicated Christ our Lord,
And angels sang with joy and sweet accord;
The nations heard, a dark world flamed with light
When Jesus rose in glory and in might:
Chorus

THE LORD’S SUPPER
10MAN OF SORROWS
Man of sorrows, Lamb of God
By His own betrayed
The sin of man and wrath of God
Has been on Jesus laid
Silent as He stood accused
Beaten, mocked and scorned
Bowing to the Father’s will
He took a crown of thorns
Chorus
Oh that rugged cross - My salvation
Where Your love poured out over me
Now my soul cries out - Hallelujah
Praise and honour unto Thee
Sent of heaven, God’s own Son
To purchase and redeem
And reconcile the very ones
Who nailed Him to that tree
Chorus
See the stone is rolled away
Behold the empty tomb
Hallelujah, God be praised
He’s risen from the grave
Chorus
