Call to Worship – Psalm 107:1-9

All Read Together:

1 Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever!
2 Let the redeemed of the Lord say so,
whom he has redeemed from trouble
3 and gathered in from the lands,
from the east and from the west,
from the north and from the south.
4 Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to a city to dwell in;
5 hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
6 Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
7 He led them by a straight way
till they reached a city to dwell in.
8 Let them thank the Lord for his steadfast love,
for his wondrous works to the children of man!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul,
and the hungry soul he fills with good things.

Hymn of Redemption - There Is A Fountain

  1. There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
    And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains:
    Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains;
    And sinners, plunged beneath that flood, lose all their guilty stains.

  2. The dying thief rejoiced to see, that fountain in his day;
    And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away:
    Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away;
    And there may I, though vile as he, wash all my sins away.

  3. Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood, shall never lose its power
    Till all the ransomed church of God, be saved, to sin no more:
    Be saved, to sin no more, be saved, to sin no more;
    Till all the ransomed church of God, be saved, to sin no more.

  4. E’er since by faith I saw the stream, Thy flowing wounds supply,
    Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die:
    And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
    Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.

Scripture Reading – Ephesians 4:1-6

Leader Reads:

1 I therefore, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to walk in a manner worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call— 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

Hymn of Assurance – I Have A Peace

  1. I have a peace I can’t explain
    That goes beyond the sorrow
    For there’s a truth I can’t erase
    Your love is my tomorrow
    Through deepest loss, through highest gains
    I have a brighter treasure
    The grass will die, the flower fade
    But God is mine forever

  2. I have a peace when fears arise
    And waters roar around me
    Through many storms and sleepless nights
    A quiet grace surrounds me
    I know not what the future holds
    I know who holds the future
    When all I fear is all that’s true
    Your perfect love is truer

  3. I have a peace with God and man
    For you have reconciled me
    I was at war, you came, a friend
    To serve and stand beside me
    Though wounds are deep and anger burns
    You showed me true forgiveness
    So I’ll extend what I have learned
    The gift the peace of God is

    Through deepest loss, through highest gains
    I have a brighter treasure
    The grass will die, the flower fade
    But God is mine forever

Sermon

TITUS 1:7-8

5 This is why I left you in Crete, so that you might put what remained into order, and appoint elders in every town as I directed you— 6 if anyone is above reproach, the husband of one wife, and his children are believers and not open to the charge of debauchery or insubordination. 7 For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, 8 but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. 9 He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it.

Hymn of Response – All I Have Is Christ

I once was lost in darkest night, yet thought I knew the way.
The sin that promised joy and life, had led me to the grave.
I had no hope that You would own, a rebel to Your will.
And if You had not loved me first, I would refuse you still.

But as I ran my hell-bound race, indifferent to the cost,
You looked upon my helpless state, and led me to the cross.
And I beheld God’s love displayed, You suffered in my place.
You bore the wrath reserved for me, now all I know is grace.

Hallelujah! All I have is Christ.
Hallelujah! Jesus is my life.

Now, Lord, I would be Yours alone, And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands, could never come from me.
Oh, Father, use my ransomed life, in any way You choose,
And let my song forever be, my only boast is You.

Benediction

LEADER:  

May you go forth strengthened to follow Christ your Great Shepherd.
Go and make disciples.
