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
But love your enemies, and do good, and lend,
expecting nothing in return,
and your reward will be great,
and you will be sons of the Most High,
for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.
Luke 6:35
Let all bitterness and wrath and anger
and clamor and slander be put away from you,
along with all malice.
Ephesians 4:31-5:2
“When we begin to do for the least of these what David did for Mephibosheth, and what Jesus called his followers to do, we discover this: we are the broken and the needy. They. Are. Us. Perhaps more openly and undeniably, but all the same, they remind us of our true state before God. That is the gift they bring to God’s people.”
― Michael Beates
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,
come, buy and eat!
Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.
Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread,
and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen diligently to me, and eat what is good,
and delight yourselves in rich food.
Isaiah 55:1-2

Let Your Glory Come Down
[Verse]
We will stand in the midst of Your glory
With our hands raised to heaven in praise
Let Your glory come down
Let Your glory come down
From Your throne
We will fall on our knees as we worship
With one voice, raised to heaven in praise
Let Your glory come down
Let Your glory come down
From Your throne
[Chorus]
Let Your church be drenched
With the rain of heaven
Falling from Your throne above
Let Your church be drenched
With the rain of heaven
Falling from Your throne above
Let Your glory come down
Let Your glory come down
From Your throne
[Verse]
We will fall on our knees as we worship
With one voice, raised to heaven in praise
Let Your glory come down
Let Your glory come down
From Your throne
[Chorus]
SONG
Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing
[Verse 1]
Come Thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
[Verse 2]
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I’ve come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
[Verse 3]
Oh, that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in blood washed linen
How I’ll sing Thy wondrous grace
Come my Lord, no longer tarry
Take my ransomed soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless days
[Verse 4]
Oh, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Here’s my heart, oh take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

SERMON
“At the King’s Table”
And David said,
“Is there still anyone left of the house of Saul,
that I may show him kindness
for Jonathan’s sake?”
2 Now there was a servant of the house of Saul
whose name was Ziba,
and they called him to David.
And the king said to him, “Are you Ziba?”
And he said, “I am your servant.”
3 And the king said,
“Is there not still someone of the house of Saul,
that I may show the kindness of God to him?”
Ziba said to the king,
“There is still a son of Jonathan;
he is crippled in his feet.”
4 The king said to him, “Where is he?”
And Ziba said to the king,
“He is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel,
at Lo-debar.”
5 Then King David sent and brought him
from the house of Machir the son of Ammiel,
at Lo-debar.
6 And Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan,
son of Saul, came to David
and fell on his face and paid homage.
And David said, “Mephibosheth!”
And he answered, “Behold, I am your servant.”
7 And David said to him,
“Do not fear, for I will show you kindness
for the sake of your father Jonathan,
and I will restore to you all the land
of Saul your father,
and you shall eat at my table always.”
8 And he paid homage and said,
“What is your servant, that you should
show regard for a dead dog such as I?”
9 Then the king called Ziba, Saul’s servant,
and said to him,
“All that belonged to Saul and to all his house
I have given to your master’s grandson.
10 And you and your sons and your servants
shall till the land for him
and shall bring in the produce,
that your master’s grandson may have bread to eat.
But Mephibosheth your master’s grandson
shall always eat at my table.”
Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.
11 Then Ziba said to the king, “According to all that
my lord the king commands his servant,
so will your servant do.”
So Mephibosheth ate at David’s table,
like one of the king’s sons.
12 And Mephibosheth had a young son,
whose name was Mica.
And all who lived in Ziba’s house
became Mephibosheth’s servants.
13 So Mephibosheth lived in Jerusalem,
for he ate always at the king’s table.
Now he was lame in both his feet.
2 Samuel 9:1-13 (ESV)
SONG
Worthy of it All
[Verse]
All the saints and angels
They bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns
Before the Lamb of God and sing
[Chorus]
You are worthy of it all
You are worthy of it all
For from You are all things
And to You are all things
You deserve the glory
[Bridge]
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
[Agnus Dei]
You are holy
Holy, are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
BENEDICTION
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God?
Micah 6:8
