PREPARATION FOR WORSHIP

Who is this King of glory?
    The Lord, strong and mighty,
    the Lord, mighty in battle!
Psalm 24:8

Who is like the Lord our God,
    who is seated on high,
who looks far down
    on the heavens and the earth?
Psalm 113:5-6

Have you not known? Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He does not faint or grow weary;
    his understanding is unsearchable.
Isaiah 40:28

But thanks be to God, who in Christ
always leads us in triumphal procession, and
through us spreads the fragrance of the
knowledge of him everywhere.
2 Corinthians 2:14

Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved
children.  And walk in love, as Christ loved us
and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering
and sacrifice to God.
Ephesians 5:1-2

“He’s got the whole world in His hands.”
– Afro-American spiritual

“I know not the way God leads me, but well do
I know my Guide.”
– Martin Luther

“To live in sync with who we truly are means to
recognize that we are dependent on God for our
very breath and are gracious with many good
things; it means to be grateful to the giver and
attentive to the purpose for which the gifts are given.”
– Miroslav Volf

“We rest in what God is.”
– A.W. Tozer

“Our target is not discipline, it is devotion… our pursuit is a Person, not a set of practices.”
– Ben Stuart

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof,
    the world and those who dwell therein,
for he has founded it upon the seas
    and established it upon the rivers.
Psalm 24:1-2

SONG

The Lost are Found

[Verse 1]
Everlasting, while earthly ages fade
In mercy, Our God, Your kingdom reigns
Lord over everything, You are near
All of the universe at your feet

In the Savior, injustice brought to right
For Your glory, that your name be lifted high
Lord over everything, You are near
All of the universe at Your feet

Lord over everything, You are near
All of the universe at Your feet

[Chorus]
The lost are found, the blind will see
The lame will walk, the dead will live
And You, our God, forever You will reign

Lord over everything, You are near
All of the universe at Your feet

Lord over everything, You are near
All of the universe at Your feet

[Chorus]

SONG

There is a Fountain

There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel’s veins
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

E’er since by faith I saw that stream
Thy flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be ’til I die
And shall be ’til I die
And shall be ’til I die
Redeeming love has been my theme
And shall be ’til I die

When this poor lisping, stammering tongue
Lies silent in the grave
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy power to save
I’ll sing Thy power to save
I’ll sing Thy power to save
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I’ll sing Thy power to save

For sinners plunged beneath that flood
Lose all their guilty stains

SCRIPTURE READING

He is the image of the invisible God, the
firstborn of all creation. 

For by him all things were created, in heaven
and on earth, visible and invisible,
whether thrones or dominions or rulers or
authorities
—all things were created through him and for him. 

And he is before all things, and in him
all things hold together. And he is the head of
the body, the church. He is the beginning, the
firstborn from the dead, that in everything he
might be preeminent. 

For in him all the fullness of God was pleased
to dwell, and through him to reconcile to
himself all things, whether on earth or in
heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Colossians 1:15-20

Sovereign Over Us

SONG

Your Glory

[Verse]
My life is Yours
My hope is in You only
My heart You hold
‘Cause You made this sinner holy
And holy
Holy

[Chorus]
‘Cause Your glory is so beautiful
I fall onto my knees in awe
And the heartbeat of my life
Is to worship in Your light
‘Cause Your glory is so beautiful
‘Cause Your glory is so beautiful

[Verse]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Glory glory hallelujah
Jesus You are good

[Bridge 2]
What can wash away my sin?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again?
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me white as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus

[Bridge]
