Worship Order Centering Music: Amazing Grace: Caleb Dinger, Keyboard and Eric Leyers, Guitar Words of Welcome: Rev. John Hill Songs: Praise to the Lord, the Almighty and The Love of God Praise to the Lord, the AlmightyVerse1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation. O my soul, praise him, for he is thy health and salvation! All ye who hear, now to his temple draw near; join me in glad adoration! Verse 2. Praise to the Lord, who o’er all things so wondrously reigning bears thee on eagle’s wings, e’er in his keeping maintaining. God’s care enfolds all, whose true good he upholds. Hast thou not know his sustaining? Verse 3. Praise to the Lord, who doth prosper thy work and defend thee; surely his goodness and mercy here daily attend thee. Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, who with his love doth befriend thee. Verse 4. Praise to the Lord, who doth nourish thy life and restore thee, fitting thee well for the tasks that are ever before thee. Then to thy need God as a mother doth speed, spreading the wings of grace o’er thee. Verse 5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that hath life and breath, come now with praises before him! Let the amen sound from his people again; gladly forever adore him. The Love Of God Verse 1 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 The guilty pair bowed down with care God gave God’s Son to win The erring child God reconciled And pardoned every sin Chorus O love of God how rich and pure How measureless and strong It shall forevermore endure The saints and angels song Verse 2 When years of time shall pass away And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall When people here refuse to pray On rocks and hills and mountains call God’s love so sure shall still endure All measureless and strong Redeeming grace to Adam’s race The saints and angels song Repeat Chorus Verse 3 Could we with ink the ocean fill And were the skies of parchment made Were every stalk on earth a quill And everyone 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 Repeat Chorus Opening Prayer: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin Scripture Reading: Luke 19:1-10: Rev. John Hill He entered Jericho and was passing through it. A man was there named Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was rich. He was trying to see who Jesus was, but on account of the crowd he could not, because he was short in stature. So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore tree to see him, because he was going to pass that way. When Jesus came to the place, he looked up and said to him, “Zacchaeus, hurry and come down; for I must stay at your house today.” So he hurried down and was happy to welcome him. All who saw it began to grumble and said, “He has gone to be the guest of one who is a sinner.” Zacchaeus stood there and said to the Lord, “Look, half of my possessions, Lord, I will give to the poor; and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will pay back four times as much.” Then Jesus said to him, “Today salvation has come to this house, because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man came to seek out and to save the lost.” Sermon: The Character of Christ – Radical Acceptance: Rev.

Chelsey Hedglin Kyrie Words of Assurance Song: You Are Mine You Are Mine I will come to you in the silence, I will lift you from all your fear. You will hear My voice, I claim you as My choice, be still, and know I am here. I am hope for all who are hopeless, I am eyes for all who long to see. In the shadows of the night, I will be your light, Come and rest in Me. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow Me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine. I am strength for all the despairing, healing for the ones who dwell in shame. All the blind will see, the lame will all run free, and all will know My name. Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow Me, I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine. I am the Word that leads all to freedom, I am the peace the world cannot give. I will call your name, embracing all your pain, stand up, now, walk, and live! Do not be afraid, I am with you. I have called you each by name. Come and follow Me. I will bring you home; I love you and you are mine. Benediction: Rev. Chelsey Hedglin |
