Songs
I am weak, but Thou art strong.
Jesus keep me from all wrong.
I’ll be satisfied as long,
As I walk, let me walk close to Thee.
Chorus:
Just a closer walk with Thee,
Grant it Jesus, if you please,
Daily walking close to Thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through the world of toil and snares,
If I falter, Lord, who cares?
Who with me my burden shares?
Only Thee, dear Lord, only Thee.
Chorus:
When this troubled life is o’er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely on,
To Thy shore, dear Lord, to Thy shore.
Chorus:
You are here, moving in our midst.
We worship You. We worship You.
You are here, working in this place.
We worship You. We worship You.
CHORUS: You are Way Maker, Miracle Worker,
Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness,
My God, that is who you are.
You are Way Maker, Miracle Worker,
Promise Keeper, Light in the darkness,
My God, that is who you are.
(A reading from Romans 11)
Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
34 “Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?”
35 “Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
36 For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.
You are here, turning lives around.
We worship you. We worship you.
You are here, mending ev’ry heart.
We worship you. We worship you.
CHORUS
(A reading from Psalm 1)
Blessed is the one
who does not walk in step with the wicked
or stand in the way that sinners take
or sit in the company of mockers,
2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord,
and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water,
which yields its fruit in season
and whose leaf does not wither—
whatever they do prospers.
CHORUS
When peace, like a river, attended my way,
When sorrows, like sea billows, roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
Chorus: It is well 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 hath regarded my helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood for my soul. Chorus:
My sin, O 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! Chorus:
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. Chorus:
How I long to breathe the air of heaven
Where pain is gone and mercy fills the streets;
To look upon the one who bled to save me,
And walk with Him for all eternity.
CHORUS: There will be a day when all will bow before Him.
There will be a day when death will be no more.
Standing face to face with He who died and rose again.
Holy, holy is the Lord!
Ev’ry prayer we prayed in desperation,
The songs of faith we sang through doubt and fear.
Oh, in the end, we’ll see that it was worth it,
When He returns to wipe away our tears. CHORUS
On that day, we join the resurrection,
And stand beside the heroes of the faith,
And with one voice, a thousand generations,
Sing, “Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.
Forever He shall reign!”
Final Chorus: So let it be today, we shout the hymn of heaven,
With angels and the saints, we raise a mighty roar.
Glory to our God, who gave us life beyond the grave.
Holy, holy is the Lord! (repeat final chorus, then sing last line)
Oh, holy, holy is the Lord

21From that time on Jesus began to explain to his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things at the hands of the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and on the third day be raised to life.
22 Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. “Never, Lord!” he said. “This shall never happen to you!”
23 Jesus turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the concerns of God, but merely human concerns.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

The words of the Teacher,[a] son of David, king in Jerusalem:
2 “Meaningless! Meaningless!”
says the Teacher.
“Utterly meaningless!
Everything is meaningless.”I said to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure to find out what is good.” But that also proved to be meaningless. 2 “Laughter,” I said, “is madness. And what does pleasure accomplish?” 3 I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.
4 I undertook great projects: I built houses for myself and planted vineyards. 5 I made gardens and parks and planted all kinds of fruit trees in them. 6 I made reservoirs to water groves of flourishing trees. 7 I bought male and female slaves and had other slaves who were born in my house. I also owned more herds and flocks than anyone in Jerusalem before me. 8 I amassed silver and gold for myself, and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired male and female singers, and a harem[a] as well—the delights of a man’s heart. 9 I became greater by far than anyone in Jerusalem before me. In all this my wisdom stayed with me.
10 I denied myself nothing my eyes desired;
I refused my heart no pleasure.
My heart took delight in all my labor,
and this was the reward for all my toil.
11 Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done
and what I had toiled to achieve,
everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind;
nothing was gained under the sun.Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.

24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it.

OPENING PRAYER for WORSHIP
P: Eternal God, we have gathered today to rejoice in You. To rejoice
In the creation of world and in the gift of the breathe of life,
In the daily bread You provide and in the protection You give,
In the redemption You won for us through Jesus and in the faith Your
Spirit has created in us.
In the promise of strength for each day and in the promise of eternal
life with You.
Lord Jesus, you promised, “Where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” Be with us as You have promised. May Your presence humble us today. You tell us to not give up meeting together so that we might encourage one another. Use us today, Lord, to bless our brothers and sisters.
C: Here may the faithful find salvation, and the careless be awakened.
Here may the doubting find faith, and the anxious be encouraged.
Here may the tempted find help, and the troubled find comfort.
Here may the weary find rest, and the strong be renewed.
P: O Holy Spirit, You poured out Your power on Your people on Pentecost. We pray that today You would once again pour out Your power on Your people here.
C: Come to cleanse us within.
and to inspire us.
Come to lead us in the darkness.
And to dispel our ignorance.
Come to enable us in our weaknesses.
And to dwell in us.
Convict us, convert us, consecrate us. Until we are all set free from the service of ourselves to be Your servants to the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray
C: Amen.
P: Come, let us worship the Lord who loved us enough to die for us.
CHORUS: Bless the Lord, O my soul O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before O my soul
I worship Your holy name
You're rich in love and You're slow to anger
Your name is great and Your heart is kind
For all of Your goodness, I will keep on singing
10,000 reasons for my heart to find. CHORUS

I’m calling on the God of Jacob,
Whose love endures through generations.

O God, my God, I need you.
O God, my God I need you now.
How I need you now.
O Rock, O Rock of ages
I’m standing on your faithfulness,
On your faithfulness, O God.
