OPENING SONG

Resurrection Hymn
1. See what a morning gloriously bright
With the dawning of hope in Jerusalem
Folded the grave-clothes tomb filled with light
As the angels announce Christ is risen
See God's salvation plan wrought in love
Borne in pain paid in sacrifice
Fulfilled in Christ the Man for He lives
Christ is risen from the dead

2. See Mary weeping where is He laid
As in sorrow she turns from the empty tomb
Hears a voice speaking calling her name
It's the Master the Lord raised to life again
The voice that spans the years
Speaking life stirring hope bringing peace to us
Will sound till He appears
For He lives Christ is risen from the dead

3. One with the Father Ancient of Days
Through the Spirit who clothes faith with certainty
Honour and blessing glory and praise
To the King crowned with pow’r and authority
And we are raised with Him
Death is dead love has won Christ has conquered
And we shall reign with Him
For He lives Christ is risen from the dead
WELCOME AND OPENING PRAYER

CALL TO WORSHIP - PSALM 102:18-2
All:    Let this be recorded for a generation to come, so that a people yet to be created may praise the
        LORD: that he looked down from his holy height; from heaven the LORD looked at the earth, to
        hear the groans of the prisoners, to set free those who were doomed to die, that they may declare
        in Zion the name of the LORD, and in Jerusalem his praise, when peoples gather together, and
        kingdoms, to worship the LORD.

SONGS OF PRAISE
Days of Elijah
1. These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days
Of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days
Of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice
In the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord

Chorus
Behold He comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call
So lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill
Salvation comes

2. And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days
Of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the world
And we are the labourers
In Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord

Bridge
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah
                                        2
NEW CITY CATECHISM: QUESTION 7

Q: What does the law of God require?

A: Personal, perfect, and perpetual obedience; that we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and
strength; and love our neighbor as ourselves. What God forbids should never be done and what God
commands should always be done.

Holy Holy Holy

1.Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy holy holy, merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity

2. Holy holy holy, All the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim, falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be

3. Holy holy holy, though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man, thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power in love and purity

4. Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy holy holy, merciful and mighty
God in three persons, blessed Trinity
O Church Arise

1. O Church arise and put your armour on
Hear the call of Christ our Captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of Truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness

2. Our call to war to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor
When faced with trials on ev'ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations

Chorus
Arise shine for your Light has come
Arise shine for the risen Son
Lift your eyes we are His radiant bride
Arise O Church arise

3. Come see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerged from his grave
This victory march continues 'til the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him

4. So Spirit come put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in Glory

PASTORAL PRAYER
SERMON TEXT : ACTS 9:32-43

32 Now as Peter went here and there among them all, he came down also to the saints who lived at
Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, bedridden for eight years, who was paralyzed. 34 And
Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; rise and make your bed.” And immediately he rose. 35
And all the residents of Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.

36 Now there was in Joppa a disciple named Tabitha, which, translated, means Dorcas. She was full of
good works and acts of charity. 37 In those days she became ill and died, and when they had washed her,
they laid her in an upper room. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, hearing that Peter was
there, sent two men to him, urging him, “Please come to us without delay.” 39 So Peter rose and went
with them. And when he arrived, they took him to the upper room. All the widows stood beside him
weeping and showing tunics and other garments that Dorcas made while she was with them. 40 But Peter
put them all outside, and knelt down and prayed; and turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And
she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up.
Then, calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42 And it became known throughout all
Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And he stayed in Joppa for many days with one Simon, a
tanner.
Peter and a Growing Church - Acts 9:32-43

Theme: Jesus is the perfect Savior who calls imperfect people to follow him.

#1 - The Miracle at Lydda
A. The Healing of Aeneas and Jesus and the Paralytic: Luke 5:17-26
20 And when he saw their faith, he said, “Man, your sins are forgiven you.” 21 And the scribes and the Pharisees began
to question, saying, “Who is this who speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 22 When Jesus
perceived their thoughts, he answered them, “Why do you question in your hearts? 23 Which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins
are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Rise and walk’? 24 But that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to
forgive sins”—he said to the man who was paralyzed—“I say to you, rise, pick up your bed and go home.” 25 And
immediately he rose up before them and picked up what he had been lying on and went home, glorifying God.

Key Truths
1. The resurrected Jesus sees us and cares about us as individuals.
2. The resurrected Jesus calls us to be part of the coming Kingdom

#2 - The Miracle at Joppa
A. The Healing of Tabitha and the Centurion’s Daughter: Luke 8:40-56
49 While he was still speaking, someone from the ruler’s house came and said, “Your daughter is dead; do not trouble
the Teacher any more.”… 51 And when he came to the house, he allowed no one to enter with him, except Peter and
John and James, and the father and mother of the child. 52 And all were weeping and mourning for her, but he said,
“Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping.” 53 And they laughed at him, knowing that she was dead. 54 But taking
her by the hand he called, saying, “Child, arise.” 55 And her spirit returned, and she got up at once.

Key Truths
1. Miracles are an affirmation of the ministry of Jesus. It was entrusted to the apostles in the early
church. We live an apostolic faith.
2. The miracles remind us that the Word of God can be trusted.

                                                         Other Passages
Luke 5:5-11 And Simon answered, “Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.” 6
And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their
partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But
when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.” 9 For he and all
who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of
Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, “Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.”
11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

Matthew 14:28 And Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.”
So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid, and
beginning to sink he cried out, “Lord, save me.” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and took hold of him, saying to
him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?”

Matthew 26:33 Peter answered him, “Though they all fall away because of you, I will never fall away.” 34 Jesus said to him,
“Truly, I tell you, this very night, before the rooster crows, you will deny me three times.” 35 Peter said to him, “Even if I must
die with you, I will not deny you!”

1 Kings 17:22 And the LORD listened to the voice of Elijah. And the life of the child came into him again, and he revived. 23
And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper chamber into the house and delivered him to his mother. And
Elijah said, “See, your son lives.” 24 And the woman said to Elijah, “Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word
of the LORD in your mouth is truth.”
CONFESSION OF SIN
[A TIME OF SILENT CONFESSION]

ALL: Jesus, Lamb of God, have mercy on us.
      Jesus, bearer of our sins, have mercy on us.
      Jesus, Redeemer of the world, grant us peace.
      Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON - ROMANS 5:
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
