MEDITATION AND PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP
“It seems beyond question that we believers do not think often enough,
or hard enough, about the culture of our congregations. Culture, a word
borrowed from sociology, means the public lifestyle that expresses a
shared mindset and convictions held in common. A church’s culture
should be orthopraxy expressing orthodoxy. It should look like self-
giving love for others that in turn reflects the sacrificial love for us of
Jesus Christ our Savior and our Lord.”
—J.I. Packer in Foreword to Ray Ortlund, The Gospel: How the Church
Portrays the Beauty of Christ (pp. 13-14)
SCRIPTURE FOR MEMORIZATION
John 14:26-27 (ESV)
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name,
26
he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have
said to you. 27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the
world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let
them be afraid.

SONG OF ADORATION
Thy Mercy, My God
1. Thy mercy, my God, is the theme of my song,
The joy of my heart, and the boast of my tongue;
Thy free grace alone, from the first to the last,
Hath won my affections, and bound my soul fast.
2. Without Thy sweet mercy I could not live here;
Sin would reduce me to utter despair;
But, through Thy free goodness, my spirits revive,
And He that first made me still keeps me alive.
3. Thy mercy is more than a match for my heart,
Which wonders to feel its own hardness depart;
Dissolved by Thy goodness, I fall to the ground,
And weep to the praise of the mercy I’ve found.
4. Great Father of mercies, Thy goodness I own,
And the covenant love of Thy crucified Son;
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.
All praise to the Spirit, Whose whisper divine
Seals mercy, and pardon, and righteousness mine.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON AND COMFORT Rev. David Rapp
Romans 7:24-8:1
Minister: For all who have confessed their sins and have fled to Christ for mercy,
hear this word of assurance:
“Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of
death? Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then,
I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh
I serve the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnation
for those who are in Christ Jesus.”

Assurance.

Jesus, I Come
1. Out of my bondage, sorrow and night, 3. Out of unrest and arrogant pride,
Jesus, I come; Jesus I come. Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into Thy freedom, gladness and light, Into Thy blessed will to abide,
Jesus, I come to Thee. Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of my sickness into Thy health, Out of myself to dwell in Thy love,
Out of my wanting and into Thy wealth, Out of despair into raptures above,
Out of my sin and into Thyself, Upward forever on wings like a dove,
Jesus, I come to Thee. Jesus, I come to Thee.
2. Out of my shameful failure and loss, 4. Out of the fear and dread of the tomb,
Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come. Jesus, I come; Jesus, I come.
Into the glorious gain of Thy cross, Into the joy and light of Thy home,
Jesus, I come to Thee. Jesus, I come to Thee.
Out of earth’s sorrows into Thy balm, Out of the depths of ruin untold,
Out of life’s storms and into Thy calm, Into the peace of Thy sheltering fold,
Out of distress into jubilant psalm, Ever Thy glorious face to behold,
Jesus, I come to Thee. Jesus, I come to Thee.

But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your
faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.
19
You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and
shudder! 20 Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart
from works is useless? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works
when he offered up his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that faith was
active along with his works, and faith was completed by his works; 23 and
the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was
counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. 24 You
see that a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. 25 And in the
same way was not also Rahab the prostitute justified by works when she
received the messengers and sent them out by another way? 26 For as the
body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

COMMUNION SONG
Begone Unbelief
1. Begone unbelief, my Savior is near,
And for my relief will surely appear:
By faith let me wrestle, with God in the storm
And help me my Savior, the faith to adorn;
And help me my Savior, the faith to adorn.
2. Though dark be m;y way, since he is my guide,
’Tis mine to obey, and his to provide;
Though cisterns be broken, and creatures all fail,
The word he has spoken will surely prevail;
The word he has spoken will surely prevail.
Chorus:
Begone unbelief, the Savior is here; (3x)
Though cisterns be broken and creatures all fail,
The word he has spoken will surely prevail;
The word he has spoken will surely prevail.
3. Why should I complain, of want or distress,
Temptation or pain? He told me no less,
The heirs of salvation, I know from his word,
Through much tribulation must follow their Lord;
Through much tribulation must follow their Lord.
Chorus
4. Since all that I meet, will work for my good,
The bitter is sweet, the medicine food;
Though painful at present, will cease before long,
And then, O! how glorious, the conqueror’s song!
And then, O! how glorious, the conqueror’s song!

COMMUNION SONG
O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus Ebenezer
1. O the deep, deep love of Jesus, 3. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free! Love of every love the best!
Rolling as a mighty ocean ’Tis an ocean vast of blessing,
In its fullness over me! ’Tis a haven sweet of rest!
Underneath me, all around me, O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Is the current of Thy love ’Tis a heaven of heavens to me;
Leading onward, leading homeward And it lifts me up to glory,
To Thy glorious rest above! For it lifts me up to Thee!
2. O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth,
Changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones,
Died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth,
Watcheth o’er them from the throne!
