CALL 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. 4
Lord, 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 5
My 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 2016 Getty Music Publishing (Admin. by Music Services, Inc.)

27 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! 7
PASTORAL 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. 8
SERMON NOTES The Mystery of God Revealed and Known Ephesians 3:1-21 9
GREAT 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 © 1976 W. Vernon Higham THE LORD’S SUPPER 10
MAN 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 Brooke Ligertwood, Matt Crocker © 2012 Hillsong Music Publishing CCLI no: 1986373 BENEDICTION May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
