1 University Presbyterian Church Order of Worship August 12, pm 12th Sunday after Pentecost <<WE GATHER>> Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee music: Ludwig Van Beethoven; words: Henry Van Dyke Joyful, joyful, we adore thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! All thy works with joy surround thee, earth and heaven reflect thy rays, Stars and angels sing around thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in thee. Thou art giving and forgiving, ever blessing, ever blest, Wellspring of the joy of living, ocean depth of happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our Brother all who live in love are thine; Teach us how to love each other, lift us to the joy divine. Welcome & Greeting Time The Solid Rock music: William Bradbury; words by Edward Mote 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. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand; all other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand When darkness veils his lovely face, I rest on his unchanging grace. In every high and stormy gale, my anchor holds within the veil. His oath, his covenant, his blood support me in the whelming flood. When all around my soul gives way, he then is all my hope and stay. 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. No Longer Slaves Jonathan David Helser and Melissa Helser You unravel me, with a melody You surround me with a song Of deliverance, from my enemies Till all my fears are gone

2 I m no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God From my mother s womb You have chosen me Love has called my name I ve been born again, into your family Your blood flows through my veins Interlude Ohhh, Ohhh... You split the sea so I could walk right through it My fears are drowned in perfect love You rescued me and I will stand and sing I am a child of God Open the Eyes of My Heart Paul Baloche Open the eyes of my heart, Lord, open the eyes of my heart; I want to see you, I want to see you. To see you high and lifted up, shining in the light of your glory. Pour out your power and love; as we sing holy, holy, holy. Holy, holy, holy; holy, holy, holy; Holy, holy, holy; I want to see you. Evening Prayers 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. <<WE HEAR>> Story of Hope: Olivia Cooper Offering Moment & Prayer of Dedication Tithes & Offerings: "Sing to the King Billy Foote & Charles Silvester Horne Sing to the King Who is coming to reign Glory to Jesus the Lamb that was slain Life and salvation His empire shall bring And joy to the nations when Jesus is King

3 Come let us sing a song A song declaring that we belong to Jesus He is all we need Lift up a heart of praise Sing now with voices raised to Jesus Sing to the King For His returning we watch and we pray We will be ready the dawn of that day We'll join in singing with all the redeemed 'Cause Satan is vanquished and Jesus is King Sermon: Ministry of the Great King Mike McEvoy Text: Ephesians 4:1-13 (p. 951) 1 I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of the calling to which you have been called, 2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love, 3 making every effort to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. 4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope of your calling, 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism, 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all and through all and in all. 7 But each of us was given grace according to the measure of Christ's gift. 8 Therefore it is said, "When he ascended on high he made captivity itself a captive; he gave gifts to his people." 9 (When it says, "He ascended," what does it mean but that he had also descended into the lower parts of the earth? 10 He who descended is the same one who ascended far above all the heavens, so that he might fill all things.) 11 The gifts he gave were that some would be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, some pastors and teachers, 12 to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, 13 until all of us come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to maturity, to the measure of the full stature of Christ. << WE RESPOND>> Offering Paul Baloche The sun cannot compare to the glory of your love, There is no shadow in your presence. No mortal man would dare to stand before your throne, Before the Holy One of heaven. It s only by your blood, And it s only through your mercy, Lord, I come. I bring an offering of worship to my King, No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing. Jesus, may you receive the honor that you re due, O Lord, I bring an offering to you. I bring an offering to you.

4 I bring an offering of worship to my King No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing Jesus may You receive the honor that You're due Benediction PASTORAL PARTICIPANTS Mike McEvoy, Director, University Ministries Huayi Jiang, Intern, Young Adults MUSICIANS Stephen Newby, worship leader/piano Darry Wilmore, bass guitar Timothy Davis, drums CURRENT SERMON SERIES Greater Things: Receiving and Engaging the Gifts of the Spirit Jesus wants to convince us that our lives matter, every one of us. They matter to God, and they matter to the world. Jesus gave his life for ours. And Jesus wants us to give our lives to the world, so that we can and will do great things. Jesus promised those who believe in him that we would do greater things than he did (John 14:12). How is that possible? Through gifts of the Spirit. It s possible because he is alive and working through communities of people empowered by the Holy Spirit. And that Spirit gives you unique abilities to serve and to point people to him as the hope of the world. The adventure begins...
