Hymn of Adoration – ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er!
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood!Yes, ‘tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.I’m so glad I learned to trust Him,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that He is with me,
Will be with me to the end.
Scripture Reading – Hebrews 6:17-20
Leader Reads:
17 So when God desired to show more convincingly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it with an oath, 18 so that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have fled for refuge might have strong encouragement to hold fast to the hope set before us. 19 We have this as a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters into the inner place behind the curtain, 20 where Jesus has gone as a forerunner on our behalf, having become a high priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.
Hymn of Assurance – Christ, the Sure and Steady Anchor
Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
in the fury of the storm;
When the winds of doubt blow through me,
And my sails have all been torn.
In the suffering, in the sorrow,
When my sinking hopes are few;
I will hold fast to the anchor.
It shall never be removed.Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
While the tempest rages on;
When temptation claims the battle,
And it seems the night has won,
Deeper still then goes the anchor,
Though I justly stand accused;
I will hold fast to the anchor.
It shall never be removed.Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
Through the floods of unbelief;
Hopeless, somehow, O my soul,
Now lift your eyes to Calvary.
This my ballast of assurance,
See His love forever proved.
I will hold fast to the anchor.
It shall never be removed.Christ, the sure and steady anchor,
As we face the wave of death;
When these trials give way to glory
As we draw our final breath.
We will cross that great horizon,
Clouds behind and life secure;
And the calm will be the better
For the storms that we endure.Christ, the shore of our salvation,
Ever faithful, ever true.
We will hold fast to the anchor.
It shall never be removed.

Sermon
Titus 1:5
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.
Pastor/Elder/Overseer in the New Testament
Hymn of Response – He Hideth My Soul
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
A wonderful Savior to me;
He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock,
Where rivers of pleasure I see.He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock
That shadows a dry, thirsty land;
He hideth my life in the depths of His love
And covers me there with His hand,
And covers me there with His hand.A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord,
He taketh my burden away;
He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved,
He giveth me strength as my day.When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise
To meet Him in clouds of the sky,
His perfect salvation, His wonderful love
I’ll shout with the millions on high!
Benediction
Leader:
May you go forth strengthened, with the power of God behind you.
Go and make disciples.
