A Great Mystery

In recent years, the world has introduced so many ideas and definitions of marriage to us that it makes us wonder: What is marriage, really? Why is it so important? And, if God is the Originator of this great institution, what is He trying to communicate to us through it? Join us this Sunday as we look at the origin of marriage from Genesis 2 and what Paul calls ‘a great mystery’ in Ephesians 5.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 40:4-12

How Marvelous

Traditional Hymn

I stand amazed in the presence

Of Jesus the Nazarene

And wonder how He could love me 

A sinner condemned unclean

How marvelous how wonderful

And my song shall ever be

How marvelous how wonderful

Is my Savior's love for me

He took my sins and my sorrows 

He made them His very own

He bore the burden to Calvary 

And suffered and died alone

Forever i will sing your praise Jesus, risen King

Oh my God, I stand amazed That You love me

And, When with the ransomed in glory 

His face I last shall see

'Twill be my joy through the ages

To sing of His love for me

Promises

Maverick City Music

God of Abraham 

God of covenant and of faithful promises

Time and time again You have proven 

You’ll do just what you said

Though the storms may come and the winds may blow

I’ll remain steadfast

And let my heart learn when you speak a word

It will come to pass

Great is your faithfulness to me

Great is your faithfulness to me

From the rising sun, to the setting same

I will praise your name

Great is your faithfulness to me

God from age to age, though the earth may pass away,

Your word remains the same

Your history can prove there’s nothing You can’t do

You’re faithful and True

I put my faith in Jesus My anchor to the ground

My hope and firm foundation He’ll never let me down

Genesis 2:18-25, Ephesians 5:22-33

COMMUNION

Christ Will Be My Hideaway

Sovereign Grace

I will dwell within the shelter 

of the God who reigns above

I will rest beneath the shadow 

of the mighty King of love

Though a sickness hides in darkness 

Though a plague destroys by day

I will stand upon His promises, 

Christ will be my hideaway

In You, my God, I trust, 

You are strong and here with us

In You my hope remains, 

Christ will be my hideaway

Angels gather to protect me, 

when they hear my Savior call

Sovereign hands are ever ready 

to uphold me should I fall

Safe beneath his wings of refuge

All my fears are kept at bay

I am shielded by His faithfulness, 

Christ will be my hideaway

Though a thousand fall around me, 

though death looks me in the eye

Evil shall not have the vict'ry

 while the Lord is at my side

God in power raised my Savior, 

I no longer fear the grave

God in power raised my Savior, 

I no longer fear the grave

Through this fragile life and evermore, 

Christ will be my hideaway

 

COMMUNION

 

In Christ Alone

Keith & Kristyn Getty

In Christ alone my hope is found,

He is my light, my strength, my song;

This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. 

What heights of love, what depths of peace, 

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease! 

My Comforter, my All in All,

Here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone! Who took on flesh 

Fulness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness 

Scorned by the ones he came to save: 

Till on that cross as Jesus died,

The wrath of God was satisfied 

For every sin on Him was laid; 

Here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain: 

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave he rose again!

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,

For I am His and He is mine

Bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death, 

This is the power of Christ in me; 

From life's first cry to final breath. 

Jesus commands my destiny.

No power of hell, no scheme of man, 

Can ever pluck me from His hand; 

Till He returns or calls me home, 

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

His Mercy Is More/How Great

Matt Papa & Traditional Hymn

What love could remember no wrongs we have done 

Omniscient all knowing He counts not their sum

Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore

Our sins they are many His mercy is more

Praise the Lord His mercy is more

Stronger than darkness new every morn

Our sins they are many His mercy is more

What patience would wait as we constantly roam

What Father so tender is calling us home

He welcomes the weakest the vilest the poor

Our sins they are many His mercy is more

What riches of kindness He lavished on us

His blood was the payment His life was the cost

We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford

Our sins they are many His mercy is more

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art How great Thou art

Then sings my soul my Savior God to Thee

How great Thou art How great Thou art

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all Creatures here below

Praise him above ye heavenly host

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Amen
