CALL TO WORSHIP
Psalm 8
His Mercy Is More
Matt Papa
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
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
Praise the Lord, His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness, new every morn
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
Lamb of God
By Vertical Worship
You came from heaven’s throne
Acquainted with our sorrow
To trade the debt we owe
Your suffering for our freedom
The Lamb of God in my place
Your blood poured out, my sin erased
It was my death You died, I am raised to life
Hallelujah, the lamb of God
My name upon Your heart
My shame upon Your shoulders
The power of sin undone
The cross for my salvation
There is no greater love
There is no greater love
The Savior lifted up
There is no greater love

SERMON
Praise To The Lord / Joyful Joyful
Traditional Hymns
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation
O my soul, praise Him, for He is your health and salvation
Come, all you hear, now to His temple draw near
Join me in glad adoration
Praise to the Lord, above all things so wondrously reigning
Sheltering you under His wings, and so gently sustaining
Have you not seen all that is needful has been
Sent by His gracious ordaining?
Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work and defend you
Surely His goodness and mercy shall daily attend you
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do
If with His love He befriends you
Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee God of glory, Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow'rs before Thee Op'ning to the Sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the dark of doubt away.
Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day
Praise to the Lord, O let all that is in me adore Him
All that has life and breath, come now with praises before Him
Let the Amen sound from His people again
Gladly forever adore Him
COMMUNION
Promises
By Maverick City Music
God of Abraham, You're the God of covenant and 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
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
I put my faith in Jesus
My anchor to the ground
My hope and firm foundation
He'll never let me down
Living Hope
By Phil Wickham
How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven
And spoke your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished, the end is written
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The king of kings calls me His own
Beautiful savior, I'm yours forever
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Hallelujah, praise the one who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There's salvation in your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence, the roaring lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Jesus, Yours is the victory!
BENEDICTION
Series Information
Christian political thought is a balancing act between competing allegiances. On the one hand, the state is owed our allegiance as an authority anointed by God for a certain purpose. On the other hand, our allegiance to the state is subservient to our allegiance to God. We render to Caesar what is Caesar's, but never from what we owe to God.
