We Give Glory to God
Call to Worship: “Psalm 96:1-9”
Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering, and come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before him, all the earth!
Hymn of Acclamation: “All Creatures of Our God and King”
St. Francis of Assisi, 1225 – Trans. Draper
All creatures of our God and King,
lift up your voice and with us sing
O praise him, alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
thou silver moon with softer gleam,
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
ye clouds that sail in heaven along,
O praise him, alleluia!
Thou rising morn, in praise rejoice,
ye lights of evening, find a voice,
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
Let all things their Creator bless,
and worship him in humbleness,
O praise him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit, three in one.
O praise him, O praise him,
alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
We Mourn the Reality of Sin
Hymn of Lament: “Let the Nations be Glad”
Boswell, Boswell, and Papa, 2012
Let the glory of the Lord forever be our joy
May redemption be the theme of our song.
For by grace we have been saved
And by grace we shall proclaim
To the corners of the earth that Christ has come.
CHORUS
Let the nations be glad, let the people rejoice
For salvation belongs to our God
Let the whole earth be filled
With the praises of the LordFor salvation belongs to our God
Let the nations be glad
Through the ages gone before
Through the trial and the sword
Many saints and martyrs conquered though they died.
Still we’re holding out the cross
Crossing oceans, suffering loss
Shall endure all things to win the crown of life.
REPEAT CHORUS
As your holy church goes forth, in the Holy Spirit’s power
With the glories of the Gospel to explain.
Now we pray Your kingdom come
And we pray Your will be done
For the honor and the glory of Your name.
REPEAT CHORUS
Prayer of lament: “For the Uyghur”
Our Father in heaven, may your name be hallowed in Kazakhstan, among the Uyghur and to the ends of the earth.
May your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We ask that you would build your church among the Uyghur in Kazakhstan and that your people would pour across the border with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
We ask that you would sustain, encourage and empower the missionary teams in Kazakhstan.
By Your grace, enable them to make disciples among the Uyghur and to teach them everything that Jesus commanded. Amen
We Celebrate Christ as Our Redeemer
Assurance of Pardon: “Revelation 7:9-10”
9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
Hymn of Redemption: “Jude Doxology”
Huxford, 2013
Remember, Jesus brought you out of Egypt
Remember, He has sought you as His people
Remember, He has saved you from your sin
Remember, remember Him
Remember, Jesus brought you through the Red Sea
Remember, mighty miracles that you have seen
Remember, you were slaves and now are free
Remember that He is King
CHORUS
To the only God, our Savior Jesus Christ
Be glory, honor, power and dominion
Before all time, and now and evermore
Remember, Jesus reigns above the heavens
He’s coming, He is coming with His Kingdom
Do not forget, He is seated on the throne
Remember, what He has done
CHORUS
Reading: “Genesis 1:27-28”
27 So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them.
28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
Prayer for the Proclamation of God’s Word
Sermon: “Personal Disciple-Making (Among the Lost)”
Davis Lacey – Genesis 1:27-28
We Respond to the Gospel
Hymn of Response: “It Is Well With My Soul”
Spafford, 1873
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Refrain
It is well (it is well) – With my soul (with my soul)
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
And has shed His own blood for my soul.
Repeat Refrain
My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!—
My sin, not in part but the whole,
Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more,
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
Repeat Refrain
And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend – Even so, it is well with my soul.
Repeat Refrain
Commissioning of the Church
Hymn of New Creation: “Is He Worthy?”
Peterson and Shive, 2018
Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark won’t stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
(We do)
Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this? (He is!)
Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David’s root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Every people and tribe! Every nation and tongue!
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the Son
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this? (He is!)
Is He worthy? Is He worthy? (He is!) (He is!)
