2 M O R N I N G W O R S H I P 9 : 0 0 / 1 1 : 0 0 A M Prelude Abide With Me arr. Evelyn Larter Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord with me abide. When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, O abide with me. I need Thy presence every passing hour. What but Thy grace can foil the tempter s power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness. Where is death s sting? Where, grave, Thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me. Day by Day arr. Timothy Shaw Day by day and with each passing moment, strength I find to meet my trials here; Trusting in my Father s wise bestowment, I ve no cause for worry or for fear. He Whose heart is kind beyond all measure gives unto each day what He deems best Lovingly, it s part of pain and pleasure, mingling toil with peace and rest. Every day the Lord Himself is near me with a special mercy for each hour; All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me, He Whose name is Counselor and Power. The protection of His child and treasure is a charge that on Himself He laid; As your days, your strength shall be in measure, this the pledge to me He made. Help me then in every tribulation so to trust Your promises, O Lord, That I lose not faith s sweet consolation offered me within Your Word. Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting, to take, as from a father s hand, One by one, the days, the moments fleeting, till I reach the Promised Land.

Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that hereafter we may serve and please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

3 * Apostles Creed I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried; He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am 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! 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 ve first begun. arr.

It s a peaceful place where families can recharge and enjoy a semblance of normal life while they re reconnecting with supporting churches. Tenth received the house as a bequest and partners using the house pay modest rent. This year, unexpected repairs have exhausted the budget, and we need help to continue hosting families. Can you help extend hospitality to our global partners? Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with September Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. * Congregation standing

5 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Sonata No. 1 in G Major for Viola da Gamba I. Adagio II. Allegro ma non tanto III. Andante IV. Allegro Moderato Johann Sebastian Bach Pamela Fay, viola Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase of five Solas and means Glory to God Alone. Soli Deo Gloria affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of our desire at Tenth Church to honor Him with our musical offerings. 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 179: Hallelujah! Thine the Glory Thine the Glory Prayer of Preparation God s Word Read John 19:1 42 (page 905) Sermon Series: That You May Believe Behold, the Man Prayer * Hymn 264: Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross Near the Cross * Offering Prayer Offertory: When I Survey the Wondrous Cross When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ my God: All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down: Did e er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. Amen. arr. Gilbert Martin Tenth Church Choir Robert Hobgood, organ * Congregation standing

6 Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison) Question 1: Are the bread and wine changed into the real body and blood of Christ? 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. Sacrament of the Lord s Supper (gluten-free bread is in the center cup) Words of invitation Distribution of the bread I Greet Thee, Who My Sure Redeemer Art Genevan Psalter I greet Thee, who my sure Redeemer art, my only trust and Savior of my heart, Who pain didst undergo for my poor sake; I pray Thee from our hearts all cares to take. Thou art the King of mercy and of grace, reigning omnipotent in every place: So come, O King, and our whole being sway; shine on us with the light of Thy pure day. Thou hast the true and perfect gentleness, no harshness hast Thou and no bitterness: Make us to taste the sweet grace found in Thee and ever stay in Thy sweet unity. Distribution of the cup Soul, Adorn Yourself with Gladness Johann Cruger Soul, adorn yourself with gladness, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness, Come into the daylight s splendor, there with joy your praises render. Bless the One whose grace unbounded this amazing banquet founded; He, though heavenly, high, and holy, deigns to dwell with you most lowly. Now in faith I humbly ponder over this surpassing wonder That the bread of life is boundless though the souls it feeds are countless; With the choicest wine of heaven Christ s own blood to us is given. Oh, most glorious consolation, pledge and seal of my salvation.

7 TENTH PRESS SEPTEMBER 18, 2016 Prayer: The Key to Change and Raising Up Change Agents by Russ Pfeifer, Global Outreach Commission Chair In Matthew 9, Jesus exhorts the disciples to pray that the Lord would send out laborers into the harvest. Thanks to the support of our Tenth family, the Global Outreach Commission works with missionary partners around the globe as well as a host of cross-cultural outreach ministries here in the city. That is a rich blessing indeed. For one, it speaks to the strength of our prayer efforts. One example is that just recently we engaged an opportunity with Bethany Christian Services to be involved with a refugee ministry. Over the period of a few weeks, we determined not so much to take action as to just sit back and pray. And sure enough, God is bringing us servants who are committing to this work. It is never a surprise and always wonderful to see our King honoring his word in raising up laborers. So what is this petitionary prayer? David Wells in Prayer: Rebelling Against the Status Quo says, lt is, in essence, rebellion rebellion against the world in its fallenness, the absolute and undying refusal to accept as normal what is pervasively abnormal. It is, in this its negative aspect, the refusal of every agenda, every scheme, every interpretation that is at odds with the norm as originally established by God. Looking around at the world after the fall can be unsettling. Wells is right when later he says that often we accept the fallenness as it is. It s just easier to call a truce. After all, what can we really do about ISIS, Zika, the refugees, and all the rest? Or closer to home, our children, the public schools, pornography. It s too big for us to deal with. Will my praying really make a difference? Don t I have enough to worry about? And then of course we have a very powerful enemy working very subtly against our prayer efforts. Prayer shakes the gates of hell itself, and over time, this enemy wants sin to wear us down and erode our confidence in prayer. In a variety of ways, sin actively tells us that our God is too small and that our problems are too big. He wants to lull us into complacency and away from prayer. But talk to missionaries and you ll find that they know the power of prayer as well. A missionary will tell you first hand the very tangible result of prayer on the mission field. Sin, after all, does everything it can to suppress a very wonderful truth. The truth that we pray to our heavenly father who can do immeasurably more than all that we ask or even imagine. The truth that with our God we can scale a wall (Psalm 18), that we are more than conquerors (Romans 8), and that the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective (James 5). We are exhorted even to approach the throne of grace boldly (Hebrews 4). Our missionary partners know full well that they need to be supported by bold, confident, persistent prayer. Like us, they need their graces to be fresh and vigorous, their minds stayed on him, and their supply to be unchoked, open and free flowing. They often see up close how Satan rages against the church, how wickedness increases, and how the battle is hard fought. Our missionaries have answered a specific call, among other work, to do Bible translation in the Middle East, to plant churches in Turkey, and to train pastors in Muslim environments. Think they need our prayer? In speaking of praying for missions, E. M. Bounds in The Essentials of Prayer, says that the key of all missionary success is prayer. That key is in the hands of the home churches The home church on her knees fasting and praying, is the great base of spiritual supplies, the sinews of war, and the pledge of victory in this dire and final conflict. In John Piper s Let the Nations be Glad!, the point is repeated that missions exists because worship doesn t. There is a time coming when missions won t be necessary. But until that time, we have committed missionaries, and they need our prayer. Are you praying or is your small group praying for a missionary. If you d like to join this effort, pick up our Global Ties brochure from the lobbies and/or contact us at global@tenth.org. The Global Outreach Commission has many ways for you to maintain contact with our missionaries. Take advantage of every opportunity, for indeed, the days are evil.
