Welcome, we’re glad you’re here. Our vision echoes the Lord’s prayer: may it be “in the South Bay, as it is in heaven.” We yearn to see people flourishing in Jesus. Join us in the worship of our Lord.

PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP

Yes I Will

[Verse]
I count on one thing
The same God that never fails
Will not fail me now
You won’t fail me now

In the waiting
The same God who’s never late
Is working all things out
You’re working all things out

[Chorus]
Yes I will, lift You high in the lowest valley
Yes I will, bless Your name
Yes I will, sing for joy when my heart is heavy
All my days, oh, yes I will

[Verse]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I choose to praise
To glorify, glorify
The name of all names
That nothing can stand against

[Chorus]

SONG

Hiding Place

[Verse]
I have found myself a hiding place
I have found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Almighty’s love
In the safety of the Savior’s arms

[Chorus]
I will run to the hiding place
I will run to the hiding place
Draw me ever closer to look upon Your face
I will run to the hiding place

[Verse]
I have found myself a hiding place
I have found myself a secret space
In the refuge of the Father’s care
In the cleansing blood of Jesus there

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Though my fear may overwhelm me
And troubles, they surround
Though the wind rise up to take me
My hiding place is already found

[Verse]
I found myself a hiding place
I found myself a secret space
In the shelter of Almighty’s love
In the safety of the Savior’s arms

SCRIPTURE READING

“O Lord, make me know my end
    and what is the measure of my days;
    let me know how fleeting I am!
Behold, you have made my days a few handbreadths,
    and my lifetime is as nothing before you.

Surely all mankind stands as a mere breath!
    Surely a man goes about as a shadow!
Surely for nothing they are in turmoil;
    man heaps up wealth and does not know who will gather!

“And now, O Lord, for what do I wait?
    My hope is in you.
Deliver me from all my transgressions.
    Do not make me the scorn of the fool!

I am mute; I do not open my mouth,
    for it is you who have done it.
Remove your stroke from me;
    I am spent by the hostility of your hand.

When you discipline a man
    with rebukes for sin,
you consume like a moth what is dear to him;
    surely all mankind is a mere breath! Selah

“Hear my prayer, O Lord,
    and give ear to my cry;
    hold not your peace at my tears!

For I am a sojourner with you,
    a guest, like all my fathers.
Look away from me, that I may smile again,
    before I depart and am no more!”
Psalm 39:4-13

SERMON
“I Shall Go to Him”

 ¹³ David said to Nathan,
   “I have sinned against the Lord.”
And Nathan said to David,
   “The Lord also has put away your sin;
   you shall not die.

¹⁴ Nevertheless, because by this deed
   you have utterly scorned the Lord, 
   the child who is born to you shall die.”
¹⁵ Then Nathan went to his house.

And the Lord afflicted the child
   that Uriah’s wife bore to David,
   and he became sick.
¹⁶ David therefore sought God
   on behalf of the child.

And David fasted and went in
   and lay all night on the ground.
¹⁷ And the elders of his house stood beside him,
   to raise him from the ground, but he would not,
   nor did he eat food with them.

¹⁸ On the seventh day the child died.
   And the servants of David were afraid to tell him
   that the child was dead,

for they said,
   “Behold, while the child was yet alive,
   we spoke to him, and he did not listen to us.
How then can we say to him the child is dead?
   He may do himself some harm.”

¹⁹ But when David saw that
   his servants were whispering together,
   David understood that the child was dead.
And David said to his servants,
   “Is the child dead?”
They said, “He is dead.”

²⁰ Then David arose from the earth
   and washed and anointed himself
   and changed his clothes.
And he went into the house of the Lord
   and worshiped.

He then went to his own house.
And when he asked,
   they set food before him, and he ate.
²¹ Then his servants said to him,
   “What is this thing that you have done?

You fasted and wept for the child
   while he was alive; but when the child died,
   you arose and ate food.”
²² He said, “While the child was still alive,
   I fasted and wept, for I said,

‘Who knows whether the Lord will be gracious
   to me, that the child may live?’
²³ But now he is dead. Why should I fast?
   Can I bring him back again?
   I shall go to him, but he will not return to me.”

²⁴ Then David comforted his wife, Bathsheba,
   and went in to her and lay with her,
   and she bore a son,
and he called his name Solomon.

And the Lord loved him ²⁵ and sent a message
   by Nathan the prophet.
So he called his name Jedidiah, 
   because of the Lord.
2 Samuel 12:13-25 (ESV)

SONG

He Knows My Name

[Verse 1]
I have a maker
He formed my heart
Before even time began
My life was in his hands

[Chorus]
He knows my name
He knows my every thought
He sees each tear that falls
And He hears me when I call

[Verse 2]
I have a Father
He calls me His own
He’ll never leave me
No matter where I go

[Chorus]

BENEDICTION

So teach us to number our days
    that we may get a heart of wisdom.
Return, O Lord! How long?
    Have pity on your servants!
Satisfy us in the morning with your steadfast love,
    that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
Make us glad for as many days as you have afflicted us,
    and for as many years as we have seen evil.
Psalm 90:12-15
