All is vain unless the Spirit of the Holy One comes down: Brethren, pray, and holy manna will be showered all around. Sisters, will you join and help us? Moses sister aided him; Will you help the trembling mourners who are struggling hard with sin? Tell them all about the Savior tell them that He will be found: Sisters, pray and holy manna will be showered all around. Let us love our God supremely, let us love each other too; Let us love and pray for sinners till our God makes all things new. Then He ll call us home to heaven, at His table we ll sit down; Christ will gird Himself and serve us with sweet manna all around. arr. Jeremy Strong Be Thou My Vision arr. Dan Forrest Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart, naught be all else to me, save that Thou art, Thou my best thought, by day or by night, waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light. Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word, I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord; Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son, Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. Riches I heed not, nor men s empty praise, Thou mine inheritance, now and always, Thou and Thou only first in my heart, High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art. High King of heaven, my victory won, May I reach heaven s joys, O bright heaven s Sun, Heart of my own heart, whatever befall, still be my vision, O Ruler of all. Tenth Men s Choir Call to Worship * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 731) Old Hundredth Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heav nly host; praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. * Confession O Lord our God, we have not obeyed Your Word, nor heeded what is written in the Scriptures. We have erred and strayed from Your ways like lost sheep, each of us going our own way, rather than Your way. We have done those things that we ought not to have done, and we have left undone those things that we ought to have done, and there is no health in us. We heartily repent of all our sins. Unworthy as we are, we humble ourselves before You. In Your mercy forgive us, grant us Your peace and the strength to keep Your laws and to follow Your way; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. * The Gospel s Assurance of Pardon * Invocation * Hymn 57: Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah, O My Soul Ripley Prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession Announcements * Congregation standing

This is my Father s world: I rest me in the thought of rocks and trees, of skies and seas; His hand the wonders wrought. This is my Father s world, the birds their carols raise, the morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker s praise. This is my Father s world: He shines in all that s fair; in rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere. This is my Father s world. O let me ne er forget that though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet. This is my Father s world: why should my heart be sad? The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns, let the earth be glad. arr.

Answer: No. Just as the water of baptism is not changed into Christ s blood and does not itself wash away sins but is simply God s sign and assurance, so too the bread of the Lord s Supper is not changed into the actual body of Christ even though it is called the body of Christ in keeping with the nature and language of sacraments.

6 TENTH PRESS OCTOBER 15, 2017 GO Witness: Tenth s Global Outreach Conference, 2017 by Paul Duggan, Global Outreach Commission member Right here, right now There is no other place I d rather be Right here right now Watching the world wake up from history Jesus Jones, Right Here, Right Now, 1991 I ve seen a lot of stuff. The song lyrics above date me considerably. The late eighties and early nineties were an exciting time. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the opening up of Iron Curtain countries was an unexpected yet promising thing I watched on the nightly news. It was through Tenth, though, that I discovered the important role Reformed churches played in that long hoped-for development. They watched and prayed for such a thing to come, and they watched as the revitalization of faith in Romania and the persecution that followed in its wake upended a dictatorial regime. I m now coming to the end of my five-year term on the Global Outreach Commission. I ve witnessed my fellow sisters and brothers working hard to help all of us at Tenth hear better what God is doing in the world. (By the way, we have openings available, and we can use the help!) Our partners have shared the things they ve witnessed around the world: from revolutions in Egypt s Tahrir Square to coups in Burundi and Asia Minor; from refugees risking their lives to flee war to the impact of deprivation in Glasgow. Sometimes the people of Christ continue serving God undisturbed by these historic events, and sometimes there is cause for great suffering. I wonder what God s plan is in such trials and difficulties. What would God have me do about what I am witnessing? Is there more going on than simply being a witness to history-changing events? Our partners, and all of us, are witnesses to the impact of the world-changing event, the death and resurrection of King Jesus. Witnesses and martyrs Jesus calls for his followers to be witnesses to his saving purposes in his kingdom. A witness is a legal term: in a courtroom, people testify of what they have seen because judgment has to be made about the truth of a matter. Witnesses in court have a challenging task when one side or another casts doubt on their veracity or their understanding. In some cases, witnesses are endangered for exposing injustice. In the Gospel of John, Jesus testifies to what he knows and has seen (John 3:11). Though they put him on trial and execute him, John knows that in Jesus, it is the world that has been on trial under the oversight of God. The word in Greek for a witness is martyr. We have all the associations of death and lament (and often fear) with that word because of the experience of the first Christian witnesses to Jesus: they told of his just judgments and his free salvation to a hostile world, and the world let them have it. Can we get a witness? Tenth s Global Outreach Conference on this 500th anniversary of the Reformation, GO Witness, is maximizing your opportunities to meet and hear from our partners in a wide variety of settings. We can have fun and fellowship together with our Friday bowling night; discover and learn from our partners with our Saturday afternoon small groups; celebrate together at our Saturday night banquet; and join in Sunday worship with John, our partner from Asia Minor, and John, our partner from East Africa, as they preach God s Word to us. Will attending this year s conference change the world? Only God knows. We hope that you will be better aware of a world that King Jesus is governing constantly, into which he has called men and women to declare his glory and call upon him for all their needs. We hope you will be equipped to partner with our partners in prayer and support, and find encouragement to declare your own testimony to the righteousness and love of another king, one Jesus (Acts 17:7)

10 TENTH GIVING Tenth carries out its gospel-centered mission of proclaiming God s truth to those of us near and far away through servants who are worthy of their hire in their faithful work. Tenth s funds support those servants and cover other expenses (for our church ministries as well as maintenance, utilities, etc.) that keep the gospel work going, while we seek to create space for future gospel work through the Capital Campaign. Our combined Church Ministry Fund and Outreach Fund budgets call for 2017 combined giving of $3,047,430. To date, our giving is significantly below amounts needed for this time of year. Seasonallyadjusted projections suggest a significant year-end gap in those two funds; without seasonal adjustments, projections are far more concerning. Please join Tenth s Elders and Trustees as we re-commit ourselves to prayer and consider sacrificial giving toward our ongoing ministry for the gospel in Philadelphia and around the world.
