‡Introit – “Worthy Of It All”
All the saints and angels, they bow before Your throne
All the elders cast their crowns, before the Lamb of God and sing
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
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
Day and night, night and day, let incense arise
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, oh Lord
I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, I exalt Thee, oh Lord

‡The Call to Worship — (Psalm 118)
Pastor: Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good.
Congregation: For His steadfast love endures forever!
Pastor: It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
Congregation: It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
Pastor: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!
Congregation: The Lord is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us.
Pastor and Congregation: This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice
and be glad it in!
‡Hymn - “What Love My God”
What love my God would bring You down to earth
What king would take a low and lonely birth
Yet to this dark and broken place You came
To sleep beneath the stars that You had made
What love my God would send the Way of Life
To walk the road rejected and despised
That You might know the weakness I possess
And be my rock of strength and righteousness
Chorus
O Your love my God like a flood, as heaven opened up pouring out on us
O praise the King who came to the world in His love like a mighty flood.
What love my God could hold You to the tree
To bear that overwhelming debt for me
The Son of heaven leaves the Father's side
The Healer bleeds the Life was made to die (Chorus)
What love my God so gracious and extreme
Was strong enough to come and fight for me
To go through hell and down into the grave
And raise me up to see You face to face
You raise me up to see You face to face (Chorus)

‡Prayer of Invocation
Old Testament Reading
Psalm 51: 1-12 --- Matthew Waldrop
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin! 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. 5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being, and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice. 9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.
‡Words of Assurance (Heidelberg Catechism #1)
Pastor: What is your only comfort in life and death?
Congregation: That I, with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong unto my faithful Savior Jesus Christ; whowith His precious blood has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me thatwithout the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head; yea, that all things must be subservient to my salvation,wherefore by His Holy Spirit he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me heartily willing and ready, henceforth, to live unto Him.
‡Hymn No. 535 - “Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus”
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus! Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free;
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me.
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love;
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above.
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus! Spread His praise from shore to shore;
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore;
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne.
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus! Love of ev’ry love the best:
‘Tis an ocean vast of blessing, ‘tis a haven sweet of rest.
O the deep, deep love of Jesus! ‘Tis a heav’n of heav’ns to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee.
New Testament Reading, Congregational and Offertory Prayer
Hebrews 12:12-17; Ephesians 4:26; 31-32 --- John Downs
12 Therefore lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed. 14 Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord. 15 See to it that no one fails to obtain the grace of God; that no “root of bitterness” springs up and causes trouble, and by it many become defiled; 16 that no one is sexually immoral or unholy like Esau, who sold his birthright for a single meal. 17 For you know that afterward, when he desired to inherit the blessing, he was rejected, for he found no chance to repent, though he sought it with tears.
26 Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, … 31 Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. 32 Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
‡Hymn No. 253 – “There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood”
There is a fountain filled with blood, drawn from Immanuel'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.
The dying thief rejoiced to see, that fountain in his day;
And there may I as vile as he, wash all my sins away:
Wash all my sins away, wash all my sins away;
And there may I, as vile as he, wash all my sins away.
E'er since by faith I saw the stream, your flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die:
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die;
Redeeming love has been my theme, and shall be till I die.
Dear dying Lamb Your precious blood, shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God, be saved to sin no more:
Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more;
Till all the ransomed church of God, be saved to sin no more.

The new birth, or regeneration.42. Who can change a sinner’s heart?
The Holy Spirit alone.

Reading of the Holy Scripture: 1 Timothy 2:8-10
8 I desire then that in every place the men should pray, lifting holy hands without anger or quarreling; 9 likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire, 10 but with what is proper for women who profess godliness—with good works.
Sermon: “Bickering Burberry” - Rev. Richard Owens
‡Hymn No. 457 – “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing”
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 God’s unchanging love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I‘m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wand’ring from the fold of God:
He to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be;
Let that grace now, like a fetter, bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.
Prone to wander Lord, I feel it prone to leave the God I love:
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.
‡Benediction
