CALL TO WORSHIP

SCRIPTURE READING (Genesis 12:1–3)

Now the LORD said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”

ADORATION

COME THOU FOUNT

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
Hither by Thy help I 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
O 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, O take and seal it,
seal it for Thy courts above

CONFESSION

PRAYER OF CONFESSION

ASSURANCE

CORPORATE SCRIPTURE READING (Galatians 4:4-7)

But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, “Abba! Father!” So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.

HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US

VERSE 1
How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

CHORUS 1
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

VERSE 2
Behold the Man upon the cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

CHORUS 2
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

VERSE 3
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

CHORUS 3
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

PROCLAMATION

SCRIPTURE READING (Mark 10:13–16)

And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.

Nothing but the blood of Jesus

PARTAKING AND PRAYER

SONG OF RESPONSE

GOOD GOOD FATHER

VERSE 1
I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You're like
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You're pleased
And that I'm never alone

CHORUS
You're a good, good father
It's who You are,
It's who You are,
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am,
It's who I am,
It's who I am

VERSE 2
I've seen many searching
For answers far and wide
But I know we're all searching
For answers only You provide
Because You know just what we need
Before we say a word

BRIDGE
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
To us

VERSE 3
Love so undeniable I...
I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable I...
I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love
