Order of Worship July 1, 2018 GOD CALLS US TO WORSHIP from Psalm 146 LEADER: Praise the LORD! PEOPLE: Praise the LORD, O my soul! LEADER: I will praise the LORD as long as I live; PEOPLE: I will sing praises to my God while I have my being. Leader: Put not your trust in princes, in a son of man, in whom there is no salvation. When his breath departs, he returns to the earth; on that very day his plans perish. PEOPLE: Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD his God, who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, who keeps faith forever; who executes justice for the oppressed, who gives food to the hungry. LEADER: The LORD sets the prisoners free; the LORD opens the eyes of the blind. PEOPLE: The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down; the LORD loves the righteous. LEADER: The LORD watches over the sojourners; he upholds the widow and the fatherless, but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin. PEOPLE: The LORD will reign forever, your God, O Zion, to all generations. ALL: (with a loud voice) Praise the LORD! 2

Our list of scheduled class dates is available on our website. I will tell the wondrous story, How my lost estate to save, In His boundless love and mercy, He the ransom freely gave. (chorus) I will praise my dear Redeemer, His triumphant pow r I ll tell, How the victory He giveth Over sin, and death, and hell. (chorus) O PRAISE THE NAME (ANÁSTASIS) I cast my mind to Calvary Where Jesus bled and died for me I see His wounds, His hands, His feet My Savior on that cursed tree His body bound and drenched in tears They laid Him down in Joseph s tomb The entrance sealed by heavy stone Messiah still and all alone O praise the Name of the Lord our God, O praise His Name forevermore, For endless days we will sing Your praise, Oh Lord, oh Lord our God Then on the third at break of dawn The Son of heaven rose again O trampled death where is your sting The angels roar for Christ the King (chorus) He shall return in robes of white The blazing sun shall pierce the night And I will rise among the saints My gaze transfixed on Jesus face (chorus) APOSTLES CREED I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit 4

4 and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended to heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. *that is, the true Christian church of all times and all places GOD REVEALS HIS WILL FOR OUR LIVES from Luke 13:10-17 On a Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten up at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, Woman, you are set free from your infirmity. Then he put his hands on her, and immediately she straightened up and praised God. Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue leader said to the people, There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath. The Lord answered him, You hypocrites! Doesn t each of you on the Sabbath untie your ox or donkey from the stall and lead it out to give it water? Then should not this woman, a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for eighteen long years, be set free on the Sabbath day from what bound her? When he said this, all his opponents were humiliated, but the people were delighted with all the wonderful things he was doing. Within Community Community Groups are the main ministry of Redeemer outside of Sunday morning worship. Connect with a community group during the week for great fellowship and Bible study. However, community groups at Redeemer Presbyterian Church in Charleston, SC, are much more than just Bible studies. These groups are like house churches where we want to live in community with each other like Luke writes about in Acts 2:42-47 because we re a family on mission together. Community groups are where we can learn together as disciples, take care of one another as neighbors, and reach out to our communities in love. Within our community groups we also organize weekly women s Bible studies meeting in neighborhoods around Charleston. hsee page 8 for a list of community groups and contacts who can tell you what s offered in your area, or visit our website: redeemer-charleston.org/ community-groups. 5

AMAZING GRACE (MY CHAINS ARE GONE) Amazing grace, How sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me, I once was lost, but now I m found Was blind, but now I see Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved, How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed My chains are gone, I ve been set free, My God, my Savior has ransomed me, And like a flood His mercy rains, Unending love, Amazing grace The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures, He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures (chorus) When we ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We ve no less days to sing God s praise Than when we first begun (chorus) The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine, But God, Who called me here below, Will be forever mine, Will be forever mine, You are forever mine (chorus) WE LEARN GOD S TRUTH Catechism Question 23 Why must the Redeemer be truly God?
