Lord s Day Worship June 3, 2018
Order of Worship Prelude On Jordan s stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan s fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. All o er those wide extended plains Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns And scatters night away. Chorus I am bound, I am bound, I am bound for the promised land. (Repeat) No chilling winds, Nor pois nous breath, Can reach that healthful shore Where sickness, sorrow, Pain, and death Are felt and feared no more. (Chorus) Theme When shall I reach That happy place And be forever blest? When shall I see My Father s face And in His bosom rest?

Welcome and Announcements Call to Worship Psalm 98 1 Oh sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things!

Scripture Reading Romans 15:1-7 1 We who are strong have an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. 3 For Christ did not please himself, but as it is written, The reproaches of those who reproached you fell on me. 4 For whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus, 6 that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. 7 Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.

By Faith By faith we see the hand of God In the light of creation s grand design In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness Who walk by faith and not by sight By faith our fathers roamed the earth With the pow r of His promise in their hearts Of a holy city built by God s own hand A place where peace and justice reign Chorus We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on Him our soul s reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We ll walk by faith and not by sight By faith the prophets saw a day When the longed-for Messiah would appear With the pow r to break the chains of sin and death And rise triumphant from the grave By faith the church was called to go In the pow r of the Spirit to the lost To deliver captives and to preach good news In ev ry corner of the earth (Chorus) By faith the mountain shall be moved And the pow r of the gospel shall prevail For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name (Chorus x2) By Faith Words and Music by Keith & Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townend 2009 Thankyou Music, Getty Music Publishing CCLI License # 1459719 8
Offering Mark 12:41-44 41 And he sat down opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. 42 And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. 43 And he called his disciples to him and said to them, Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. 44 For they all contributed out of their abundance, but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.

Notes 10
The Lord Will Provide Though troubles assail and dangers affright, Though friends should all fail and foes all unite; Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide, The scripture assures us, the Lord will provide The birds without barn or storehouse are fed, From them let us learn to trust for our bread: His saints, what is fitting, shall ne er be denied, So long as it s written, the Lord will provide. We may, like the ships, by tempest be tossed On perilous deeps, but cannot be lost. Though Satan enrages the wind and the tide, The promise engages, the Lord will provide. His call we obey, like Abram of old, Not knowing our way, but faith makes us bold; For though we are strangers we have a good Guide, And trust in all dangers, the Lord will provide. When Satan appears to stop up our path, And fill us with fears, we triumph by faith; He cannot take from us, though oft he has tried, This heart-cheering promise, the Lord will provide He tells us we re weak, our hope is in vain, The good that we seek we ne er shall obtain, But when such suggestions our spirits have plied, This answers all questions, the Lord will provide. No strength of our own, or goodness we claim, Yet since we have known the Savior s great name; In this our strong tower for safety we hide, The Lord is our power, the Lord will provide When life sinks apace and death is in view, This word of his grace shall comfort us through: No fearing or doubting with Christ on our side, We hope to die shouting The Lord will provide! 11 The Lord Will Provide Words by John Newton Music by Matthew S.

The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, God s only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again; He ascended into heaven, He is seated at the right hand of the Father, and 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. 12
Preparation for the Lord s Supper I. The Lord s Supper is an ordinance of Christ. Our Lord Jesus Christ has commanded all who are saved by faith to remember him through the observation of the ordinance. (Matthew 26:26-29, Mark 14:22-25, Luke 22:14-23) The bread represents Christ s body that was crushed for our iniquity. The cup represents his blood that was poured out to wash away our transgressions. Our eating and drinking represent our faith in what he has done for us. Our celebrating this together represents that we are united under Christ. II. The Lord s Supper calls us all to self-examination. Paul s teaching in I Corinthians 11:17-34 gives us four questions we should ask before partaking in the Lord s Supper: First, do I believe Jesus Christ has died for my sins and is raised to give me new life? If you are not a Christian, you should let the bread and the cup pass. Use this time to meditate on the good news that Jesus has laid down his life for sinners so that they can be forgiven and reconciled to God. Second, have I been baptized and made my profession of faith public? Paul is addressing brothers which always indicates those who have professed faith publicly. Baptism is the believer s first public obedience to Christ. If you believe the gospel and have not been baptized, we encourage you to let the elements pass and prayerfully consider why you have not followed Christ in baptism. (Continued on next page) 13
Preparation for the Lord s Supper Third, have I committed to a body of believers that knows I am part of their regular fellowship? Paul addresses the church in the context of when you come together four times (vv. 18, 20, 33, 34). In vv. 33-34, he calls them to wait for everyone who is expected before beginning, implying that the ordinance was to be celebrated by a group of believers who gathered together and had a commitment to one another. If you are not publicly committed to a gathering of believers, please let the elements pass. Prayerfully consider why you have not committed to and submitted yourself to a church so that other Christians expect you and look forward to your fellowship each Sunday. Fourth, have I sinned against someone in the body and need to seek forgiveness? Paul calls us to examine ourselves (28), discern the body (29), and judge ourselves (31). We must recognize that we are taking the Lord s Supper as a church united because of the grace we have received from Christ. Do not hesitate to seek forgiveness from a member during our time of prayer so you can celebrate the forgiveness we have in Christ together. During our time of reflection, please prayerfully consider these questions. Paul warns us not to take the Lord s Supper in an unworthy manner. If you are uncertain about these questions, please speak to an elder. III. The Lord s Supper reminds us of the hope we have in Jesus. The Lord s Supper reminds us that Christ died for the forgiveness of our sins. The Lord s Supper reminds us that we will share in the wedding supper of the Lamb when he returns. There we will rejoice in his love and grace forever. Silent Reflection Romans 15:1-7 for the bread bulletin p.5 14
