We give Glory to God

Call to Worship - Isaiah 40:28-29

8 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. 29 He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength.

Hymn of Acclamation - Everlasting God

Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord
Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord
Wait upon the Lord, we will wait upon the Lord

Pre-Chorus
Our God, You reign forever
Our hope, our strong deliverer

Chorus
You are the everlasting God, the everlasting God
You do not faint You won't grow weary
You're the defender of the weak,
You comfort those in need
You lift us up on wings like eagles

We Mourn the Reality of sin

Hymn of Confession - Lord I need You

Lord I come, I confess, bowing here, I find my rest

Without You, I fall apart, You’re the One that guides my heart



Chorus
Lord I need You, oh, I need You, every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness, oh God how I need You


Where sin runs deep, Your grace is more 
Where grace is found, is where You are

Where You are, Lord I am free, holiness is Christ in me - Chorus



Bridge

So teach my song to rise to You, when temptation comes my way

When I cannot stand I'll fall on You, Jesus You're my hope and stay - Chorus



You're my one defense, my righteousness, oh God how I need You

My one defense, my righteousness, oh God how I need You

Confession and Assurance

Lord, I come before You, confessing my sin. I need forgiveness and grace. 



I confess that I have tried to be in control, but I know that without You, I am nothing. 



Lord, I need You, every hour. You are my righteousness. You hold all things together. Without You, I crumble.

Thank you, Lord, for Your grace where my sin runs deep. You are my hope and stay. Help me to always feel my need for you. Amen.

Hymn of Redemption: “The Love of God”

The love of God is greater far, than tongue or pen can ever tell

It goes beyond the highest star, and reaches to the lowest hell

he guilty pair bowed down with care, God gave His Son to win
His erring child He reconciled, and pardoned from His sin



Chorus

Oh love of God how rich and pure, how measureless and strong

It shall forevermore endure, the saints' and angels' song



Could we with ink the ocean fill, and were the skies of parchment made

Were every tree on earth a quill, and every man a scribe by trade

To write the love of God above, would drain the ocean dry

Nor could the scroll contain the whole, though stretched from sky to sky - Chorus

Scripture Reading: “Jeremiah 33"

The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut up in the court of the guard: 2 “Thus says the Lord who made the earth, the Lord who formed it to establish it—the Lord is his name: 3 Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known. 4 For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the houses of this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that were torn down to make a defense against the siege mounds and against the sword: 5 They are coming in to fight against the Chaldeans and to fill them with the dead bodies of men whom I shall strike down in my anger and my wrath, for I have hidden my face from this city because of all their evil. 6 Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security. 7 I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel, and rebuild them as they were at first. 8 I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. 9 And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it.
10 “Thus says the Lord: In this place of which you say, ‘It is a waste without man or beast,’ in the cities of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate, without man or inhabitant or beast, there shall be heard again 11 the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who sing, as they bring thank offerings to the house of the Lord:
“‘Give thanks to the Lord of hosts, for the Lord is good, for his steadfast love endures forever!’For I will restore the fortunes of the land as at first, says the Lord.

12 “Thus says the Lord of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitations of shepherds resting their flocks. 13 In the cities of the hill country, in the cities of the Shephelah, and in the cities of the Negeb, in the land of Benjamin, the places about Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, flocks shall again pass under the hands of the one who counts them, says the Lord.

14 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the house of Israel and the house of Judah. 15 In those days and at that time I will cause a righteous Branch to spring up for David, and he shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. 16 In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will dwell securely. And this is the name by which it will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness.’
17 “For thus says the Lord: David shall never lack a man to sit on the throne of the house of Israel, 18 and the Levitical priests shall never lack a man in my presence to offer burnt offerings, to burn grain offerings, and to make sacrifices forever.”
19 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 20 “Thus says the Lord: If you can break my covenant with the day and my covenant with the night, so that day and night will not come at their appointed time, 21 then also my covenant with David my servant may be broken, so that he shall not have a son to reign on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests my ministers. 22 As the host of heaven cannot be numbered and the sands of the sea cannot be measured, so I will multiply the offspring of David my servant, and the Levitical priests who minister to me.”
23 The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah: 24 “Have you not observed that these people are saying, ‘The Lord has rejected the two clans that he chose’? Thus they have despised my people so that they are no longer a nation in their sight. 25 Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with day and night and the fixed order of heaven and earth, 26 then I will reject the offspring of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his offspring to rule over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and will have mercy on them.”

We Respond to the Gospel

Hymn of Response: "My Worth is Not in What I Own"

My worth is not in what I own, Not in the strength of flesh and bone
But in the costly wounds of love, at the cross

My worth is not in skill or name, In win or lose, in pride or shame
But in the blood of Christ that flowed, at the cross

Chorus

I rejoice in my Redeemer, greatest treasure, wellspring of my soul
I will trust in Him, no other, my soul is satisfied in Him alone

As summer flowers we fade and die, Fame, youth and beauty hurry by
But life eternal calls to us, at the cross

I will not boast in wealth or might, Or human wisdom's fleeting light
But I will boast in knowing Christ, at the cross - Chorus

Two wonders here that I confess, My worth and my unworthiness
My value fixed my ransom paid, at the cross - Chorus

Hymn of New Creation: “Amazing Grace”

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! 

I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see.



'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; 

How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed.



Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come;

'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.



And when this flesh and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease, 

I shall possess, within the veil, a life of joy and peace.



When we've been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, 

We've no less days to sing God's praise, than when we first begun.

Benediction & Sending

Having been reminded of the future grace which is ours in Jesus Christ the Lord, may you now be refreshed by the grace which is yours already:
  • You are loved by God the Father - there is no one left to please.
  • You are saved by God the Son - there is nothing left to prove.
  • You are comforted by God the Spirit - there is nothing left to fear.
Autumn Ridge Family - you are sent into the world to make disciples of all nations. Go, therefore: in the love of God the Father, in the resurrection of God the Son, and in the comfort of God the Spirit; now and forevermore. Amen.
