Shattered Like a Pot

The Son enthroned means both the redemption and the judgment of the nations.  In him each nation finds its fulfillment, but in him they also find the condemnation of all their rebellion and rage.  In this week's passage, a new king is ruling Babylon, and he has forgotten the lesson of Nebuchadnezzar's madness: that sanity only comes as we look heavenward.

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 2

CONFESSION (Book of Common Prayer 2019)

Almighty and most merciful Father,

we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.

We have followed too much the devices and desires

of our own hearts.

We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,

and we have done those things which we ought not

to have done;

and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Spare all those who confess their faults.

Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises

declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,

that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,

to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.

Glorious Day

Passion ft. Kristian Stanfill

I was buried beneath my shame

Who could carry that kind of weight?

It was my tomb 'Til I met You

I was breathing, but not alive

All my failures I tried to hide

It was my tomb 'Til I met You

You called my name and I ran out of that grave

Out of the darkness Into Your glorious day

You called my name and I ran out of that grave

Out of the darkness Into Your glorious day

Now Your mercy has saved my soul

Now Your freedom is all that I know

The old made new, Jesus, when I met You

I needed rescue My sin was heavy

But chains break at the weight of Your glory

I needed shelter I was an orphan

But You call me a citizen of Heaven

When I was broken, You were my healing

Now Your love is the air that I'm breathing

I have a future, My eyes are open

10,000 Reasons (Bless the Lord)

By Matt Redman

Bless the Lord O my soul, O my soul

Worship His Holy name

Sing like never before O my soul

I'll worship Your Holy name

The sun comes up, It's a new day dawning

It's time to sing Your song again

Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me

Let me be singing when the evening comes

You're rich in love and You're slow to anger

Your name is great and Your heart is kind

For all Your goodness I will keep on singing

Ten thousand reasons for my heart to find

And on that day when my strength is failing

The end draws near and my time has come

Still my soul will sing Your praise unending

Ten thousand years and then forevermore

Forevermore

Daniel 5

SERMON

This Is My Father’s World

Traditional Hymns

Verse 1

This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears

All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought

Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas--

His hand the wonders wrought.

Verse 2

This is my Father's world: O let me ne'er forget

That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. 

This is my Father's world: Why should my heart be sad?

The Lord is King: let the heavens ring! God reigns; let earth be glad!

So Will I (100 Billion X)

By Hillsong Worship

God of creation 

There at the start before the beginning of time

With no point of reference

You spoke to the dark and fleshed out the wonder of light

And as You speak a hundred billion galaxies are born

In the vapour of Your breath the planets form

If the stars were made to worship so will I

I can see Your heart in everything You've made

Every burning star a signal fire of grace

If creation sings Your praises so will I

God of Your promise

You don't speak in vain

No syllable empty or void

For once You have spoken

All nature and science

Follow the sound of Your voice

And as You speak a hundred billion creatures catch Your breath

Moving in pursuit of what You said

If it all reveals Your nature so will I

I can see Your heart in everything You say

Every painted sky a canvas of Your grace

If creation still obeys You so will I

If the stars were made to worship so will I

If the mountains bow in reverence so will I

If the oceans roar Your greatness so will I

For if everything exists to lift You high so will I

If the wind goes where You send it so will I

If the rocks cry out in silence so will I

If the sum of all our praises still falls shy

Then we'll sing again a hundred billion times

God of salvation

You chased down my heart through all of my failure and pride

On a hill You created the light of the world

Abandoned in darkness to die

And as You speak a hundred billion failures disappear

Where You lost Your life so I could find it here

If You left the grave behind You so will I

I can see Your heart in everything You've done

Every part designed in a work of art called love

If You gladly chose surrender so will I

I can see Your heart Eight billion different ways

Every precious one A child You died to save

If You gave Your life to love them so will I

Like You would again a hundred billion times

But what measure could amount to Your desire

You're the One who never leaves the one behind

COMMUNION

Be Thou My Vision

Traditional Hymn with Chorus by Ascend The Hill

How Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art

Thou my best Thought, by day or by night

Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise

Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:

Thou and Thou only, put first in my heart

High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art

Oh, God, be my everything, be my delight

Be, Jesus, my glory My soul's satisfied

Oh, God, be my everything, be my delight

Be, Jesus, my glory My soul's satisfied

High King of Heaven, my victory won

May I reach Heaven's joys, bright Heaven's Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall

Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all

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
