3 Order Worship The beginning the prelude is a call to silent preparation for the worship God. 3 Prelude I Go to the Rock Dottie Rambo Call to Worship * Gathering Songs * Hymn 65 Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah CWM Rhondda * Song 2 Cornerstone E. Mote, E. Liljero, J. Myrin, R. Morgan, and W.B. Bradbury My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus blood and righteousness; I dare not trust the sweetest frame, but wholly lean on Jesus name. Christ alone, Cornerstone, weak made strong in the Savior s love, Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord all! When darkness seems to hide His face, I rest on His unchanging grace; In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. Christ alone, Cornerstone, weak made strong in the Savior s love, Through the storm, He is Lord, Lord all! When He shall come with trumpet sound, O may I then in Him be found, Dressed in His righteousness alone, faultless to stand before the throne. * Corporate Prayer Confession O Lord, renew our spirits and draw our hearts unto thyself, that our work may not be to us a burden, but a delight. Forgive us for laboring with a spirit bondage as slaves, and for despairing as if we have no Savior. Teach us to take our delight in you that we may carry glad hearts throughout our days. Benjamin Jenks, d * Silent Prayer Confession * Assurance Pardon One: Many: Friends, this is the Good News the Gospel. In Jesus Christ we are forgiven. Thanks be to God. * Passing the Peace One: May the Peace Christ be with you. Many: And also with you Welcome and Announcements At the end each pew is a Friendship Pad. Please indicate your presence by signing it and passing it along the row. Members, make a point to greet visitors sitting near you. Prayer for Illumination Andrew Glas

4 Scripture Reading Deuteronomy 34:5-8, Then Moses, the servant the Lord, died there in the land Moab, at the Lord s command. He was buried in a valley in the land Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his sight was unimpaired and his vigor had not abated. The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains Moab thirty days; then the period mourning for Moses was ended. Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perform in the land Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays power that Moses performed in the sight all Israel. Joshua 1:1-2, 6-9 After the death Moses the servant the Lord, the Lord spoke to Joshua son Nun, Moses assistant, saying, My servant Moses is dead. Now proceed to cross the Jordan, you and all this people, into the land that I am giving to them, to the Israelites. Be strong and courageous; for you shall put this people in possession the land that I swore to their ancestors to give them. Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to act in accordance with all the law that my servant Moses commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may be successful wherever you go. This book the law shall not depart out your mouth; you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to act in accordance with all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall be successful. I hereby command you: Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. One: Many: The Word the Lord. Thanks be to God. Sermon Moving Ahead Rev. Kevin J. Long * Hymn Blessed Be Your Name Matt Redman Blessed be Your name in the land that is plentiful; Where Your streams abundance flow, blessed be Your name. Blessed be Your name when I m found in the desert place, Though I walk through the wilderness, blessed be Your name. Refrain: Every blessing You pour out, I ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say, Blessed be the name the Lord, blessed be Your name. Blessed be the name the Lord, blessed be Your glo-o-ri-ous name. Blessed be Your name when the sun s shining down on me, When the world s all as it should be, blessed be Your name. Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, Though there s pain in the fering, blessed be Your name. Repeat Refrain You give and take away; You give and take away. My heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be Your name. Repeat Blessed be the name the Lord, blessed be Your name. Blessed be the name the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name.
