Think About His Love

Think about His love,  think about His goodness.
Think about His grace that’s brought us through.
For as high as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our Father’s love.
Great is the measure of our Father’s love.

Ascribe power to God, whose majesty is over Israel,

Isaiah 11:2-3

And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him,
     the Spirit of wisdom and understanding,
     the Spirit of counsel and might,
     the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord.
And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord.
     He shall not judge by what his eyes see,
     or decide disputes by what his ears hear                            
 
Hymn of Praise                            
Behold Our God

Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice
All creation rises to rejoice

Chorus:
Behold our God seated on His throne
Come, let us adore Him
Behold our King—nothing can compare
Come, let us adore Him

Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Who has felt the nails upon His hands?
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man
God eternal, humbled to the grave
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign

(Men) You will reign forever
(Women) Let Your glory fill the earth

Pastor Rick Holmes                      
“The Writing On The Wall”
Series: Living as Exiles              
 
The Invitation to the Lord’s Table: Those who have not yet come to the place in their lives of trusting Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord are requested to let the elements pass. Please use this time to read Isaiah 53 (p. 613 in the pew Bible) asking God to show you the glory of his Son Jesus Christ. If you are unsure about your relationship with Christ, please see a member of the pastoral staff or one of the elders after the service.
 
Confession of Sin and Assurance of Forgiveness
 
Hymn of Preparation                  
Be Still My Soul                                  

Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side;
bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
leave to your God to order and provide;
in ev'ry change he faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: your best, your heav'nly Friend
through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
 
Be still, my soul: your God will undertake
to guide the future as he has the past.
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake;
all now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
his voice who ruled them while he dwelt below.
 
Be still, my soul: the hour is hast'ning on
when we shall be forever with the Lord,
when disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past,
all safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
 
Receiving the Bread and Cup:  For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.                I Corinthians 11:26
 
Our Response
 
Hymn of Response
There Is A Redeemer
   
When I stand in Glory, I will see His face,
There I’ll serve my King forever in -  that holy place.
 
Thank You, oh, my Father, for giving us Your Son,
and leaving Your Spirit ‘til the work on earth is done.
 
The Benediction and Three-fold Amen
