1 University Presbyterian Church Order of Worship August 14, :00 pm 13th Sunday After Pentecost << INVITED>> All Things New Carl-Eric Tangen Only you can make a rock out of a heart of stone And make rivers flow on dry land Only you can breathe new life into these dried up bones And build a holy house with sinner s hands You are making all things new Only you can teach a stone to sing And make a wellspring of life burst forth from rocky crags Only you can make nations leap from a barren womb And your Kingdom sprout from foolish men Come to me, weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest For my yoke is easy and my burden light, abide me You are the branches and I am the grapevine Only you can cause your saints to speak in borrowed tongues And make family out of foreigners Only you can gather enemies and orphans round Your table to break bread and sing your love And with one voice, let every tribe and tongue confess that you, Our Truth and Love, are making all things new I am making all things new Welcome The Love of God Belisle-Chi The love of God is greater far Than tongue or pen Could ever tell It goes beyond the highest star And reaches to the lowest hell The guilty pair Bowed down with care God gave his Son to win His erring child He reconciled And pardoned from his sin When years of time Shall pass away

2 And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall When men Who here refuse to pray On rocks and hills and mountains call God's love so sure Shall still endure All measureless and strong Redeeming grace To Adam's race The saints' and angels' song Oh love of God How rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints' and angels' song Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies Of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And everyone a scribe by trade To write the love of God above Would drain the ocean dry Nor could the scroll Contain the whole Though stretched From sky to sky O love of God How rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints' and angels' song Be Still My Soul Belisle- Chi The Lord is on your side Bear patiently The cross of grief or pain Leave to your God To order and provide In every change God faithful will remain Thy best, Thy heavenly friend

3 Through thorny ways Leads to a joyful end Your God will undertake To guide the future As in ages past Your hope, your confidence Let nothing shake All now mysterious Shall be bright at last The waves and winds still know His voice who ruled them While He dwelt below The hour is hastening on When we shall be Forever with the Lord When disappointment Grief and fear are gone Sorrow forgot Love's purest joys restored When change And tears are past All safe and blessed We shall meet at last Prayer of Confession and Assurance of Pardon This is My Father s World This is my Father s world, and to my listening ears All nature sings and round me rings the music of the spheres 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 makers praise This is my Father s world; he shines in all that's fair In the rustling grass I hear him pass; he speaks to me everywhere This is my Father s world; oh let me ne er forget

4 That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet This is my Father s world; the battle is not done Jesus, who died, shall be satisfied and earth and heaven be one Scripture Reading Psalm 13 (page 429) 1 How long, O Lord? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me? 2 How long must I bear pain in my soul, and have sorrow in my heart all day long? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? 3 Consider and answer me, O Lord my God! Give light to my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, 4 and my enemy will say, "I have prevailed"; my foes will rejoice because I am shaken. 5 But I trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. 6 I will sing to the Lord, because he has dealt bountifully with me. Invitation to Children s Worship Announcements and Greeting Time <<ENCOUNTERED>> Doxology (hymn #809) words: Thomas Ken; music: Genevan Psalter Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise him all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. Story of Hope: Tom and Ruth Chew Prayer of Dedication Offertory: Dust and Oxygen G. Belisle-Chi I am tattered and bruised There's a ringing in my ears Disoriented, I am. You are a cloudless, night sky Breathing on everything, everyone Disorienting, You are. How can I know? I am dust and oxygen in a corner of the Earth I've marveled at who You are You are the Everlasting Wonder You are the Naked Now You dwelt among us and said "I Am." How can I know? How can I know?

5 You are Love, You are Light, You are Visionless Sight. Father, teach me to feel you in the cool of the night. Hallowed be Thy Name. Sermon: Effective Laurie Brenner Text: 1 Thessalonians 2:13 (pg 959) 13 We also constantly give thanks to God for this, that when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as a human word but as what it really is, God's word, which is also at work in you believers. <<SENT>> Response Song Prayers of the People & the Lord s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. My Soul Finds Rest ( Psalm 62 ) Aaron Keyes & Stuart Townend My soul finds rest in God alone, my rock and my salvation, A fortress strong against my foes, and I will not be shaken. Though lips may bless, and hearts may curse, and lies, like arrows, pierce me, I ll fix my heart on righteousness; I ll look to him who hears me. O praise him, hallelujah, my delight and my reward. Everlasting, never failing; my redeemer, my God. Find rest my soul in God alone, amid the world s temptations. When evil seeks to take a hold, I ll cling to my salvation. Though riches come and riches go, don t set your heart upon them. The fields of hope in which I sow are harvested in heaven. I ll set my gaze on God alone, and trust in him completely, With every day pour out my soul; and he will prove his mercy. Though life is but a fleeting breath, a sigh too brief to measure, My King has crushed the curse of death, and I am his forever. O praise him, O praise him, Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

6 Ryan Church, Senior Director, University Ministries MUSICIANS Chelsea Belisle-Chi, Worship Leader/Vocals Marisa Gronholz, Vocals Gregg Belisle-Chi, Electric Guitar Timothy Carey, Bass Guitar Jeffery McCormack, Drums CURRENT SERMON SERIES MANY VOICES: A Borderless Gospel Borders and boundaries provide a sense of place, distinctiveness, definition, and sometimes a healthy sense of security. But they can also define spaces of complacency and comfort or become barriers that divide, separate, and create obstacles to the full life into which Jesus invites us. This summer, special guests from diverse places around the country and the world will serve as our preachers. We ve given them a great question to frame their messages: From where you are in the Kingdom, what do you sense the Spirit saying to the Church for this time? It is a challenging question that will engage a gospel that transcends boundaries and invites us to follow Jesus into the great adventure of Kingdom life.
