The Eighth Word

The command against stealing is against any gain by way of another's loss, but it finds a place in the Ten Commandments for a bigger reason.  To honor another's livelihood is to want their welfare.  The impulse that inspires the eighth commandment is the same impulse that leads a man to help his neighbor's car start, or leads an already busy mother to take on caring for a single parent's toddler so they can go to the office.  The eighth commandment imagines a society in which everyone has what they need.

Glorious Day

by Passion

 

I was buried be - neath 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

Now 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

CALL TO WORSHIP

Deuteronomy 6:4-9

CONFESSION OF SIN

Mike will lead us in a time of quiet confession.

CONFESSION OF FAITH (Apostle’s Creed)

I believe in God, the Father almighty,

      creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

      who was conceived by the Holy Spirit

      born of the virgin Mary.

      suffered under Pontius Pilate,

      was crucified, died, and was buried;

      He descended to the dead.

      On the third day he rose again.

      He ascended into heaven

      and is seated at the right hand of the Father

      He is coming again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the holy catholic* church,

      the communion of saints,

      the forgiveness of sins,

      the resurrection of the body,

      and the life everlasting. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER

Our Father, who is in heaven,

Hallowed be your Name

Your kingdom come, your will be done

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread

And forgive us our trespasses

As we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation

But deliver us from evil

For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

Forever and ever

Amen

King of Love

by I Am They

The King of Love my Shepherd is, 

whose goodness faileth never 

I nothing lack if I am His, 

and He is mine forever

And He is mine forever

Where streams of living water flow, 

my ransomed soul He lead - eth 

And where the verdant pastures grow, 

with food celestial feed - eth

Never fail - ing, Ruler of my heart

Ever - last - ing, Lover of my soul

On the mountain high, or in the valley low 

The King of Love my Shepherd is

The King of Love my Shepherd is

Lost and foolish off I strayed, 

but yet in love He sought me

And on His shoulder gently laid, 

and home rejoicing brought me

In death's dark veil I fear no ill, 

with Thee dear Lord beside me 

Thy rod and staff my comfort still, 

Thy cross before to guide me

Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah 

Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah 

And so through all the length of days, 

Thy goodness faileth ne - ver 

Good Shepherd may I sing Your praise, 

With - in Your house for - ev - er 

With - in Your house for - ev - er

Great Is Thy Faithfulness

Traditional Hymn

Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

Thou changest not, Thy com - passions, they fail not

As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be

Great is thy faithfulness

Great is thy faithfulness

Morning by morning new mercies I see

All I have needed Thy hand hath provided

Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me

Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,

Sun, moon and stars in their courses above,

Join with all nature in manifold witness

To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.

Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth

Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide

Strength for to - day and bright hope for tomorrow

Blessings all mine, with ten thousand be - side

SCRIPTURE READING 

SERMON

The Sower’s Song

Andrew Peterson

 

Oh God, I am furrowed like the field, torn open like the dirt

And I know that to be healed that I must be broken first

I am aching for the yield that You will harvest from this hurt

 

Abide in me, let these branches bear You fruit

Abide in me, Lord, as I abide in You

 

So I kneel at the bright edge of the garden, at the golden edge of dawn

At the glowing edge of spring when the winter's edge is gone

And I can see the color green, I can hear the Sower's song

 

Abide in me, let these branches bear You fruit

 Abide in me, Lord, let Your Word take root 

Remove in me the branch that bears no fruit

Move in me, Lord, as I abide in You

 

As the rain and the snow fall down from the sky

And they don't return, but they water the earth

And they bring forth life

Giving seed to the sower and bread for the hunger

So shall the Word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder

And it will not return it will not return void

We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy

And the hills before us will raise their voices

And the trees of the field will clap their hands as the land re - joices

 

And instead of the thorn now the cypress towers

And instead of the brier the myrtle blooms with a thousand flowers

And it will make a Name make a Name for our God

A sign ever - lasting, that will never be cut off

As the earth brings forth sprouts from the seed

What is sown in the garden grows into a mighty tree

So the Lord plants justice justice and praise

To rise before the nations until the end of days

 

As the rain and the snow fall down from the sky

And they don't return, but they water the earth

And they bring forth life

Giving seed to the sower and bread for the hunger

So shall the Word of the Lord be with a sound like thunder

 And it will not return it will not return void

And it will not return it will not return void

And it will not return it will not return void

We shall be led in peace, and go out with joy

What A Friend We Have In Jesus

Traditional Hymn

 

What a friend we have in Jesus All our sins and griefs to bear

What a privilege to carry Every - thing to God in prayer

Oh what peace we often forfeit Oh what needless pain we bear

All because we do not carry Every - thing to God in prayer

 

Have we trials and temptations Is there trouble any - where

We should never be discouraged Take it to the Lord in prayer

Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share

Jesus knows our every weakness Take it to the Lord in prayer

 

Jesus Jesus How we trust You

How we’ve proved you o’er and o’er

Jesus Jesus precious Jesus

O for grace to trust You more

COMMUNION

King of Kings

by Hillsong Worship

 

In the darkness we were waiting

Without hope without light

Till from heaven You came running

There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfill the law and prophets

To a virgin came the Word

From a throne of endless glory

To a cradle in the dirt

 

Praise the Father Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit Three in One

God of glory, Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

 

To reveal the kingdom coming

And to reconcile the lost

To redeem the whole creation

You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering

You saw to the other side

Knowing this was our salvation

Jesus for our sake You died

 

And the morning that You rose

All of heaven held its breath

Till that stone was moved for good

For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs

And the angels stood in awe

For the souls of all who’d come

To the Father are restored

 

And the Church of Christ was born

Then the Spirit lit the flame

Now this gospel truth of old

Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name

In His freedom I am free

For the love of Jesus Christ

Who has resurrected me

His Mercy Is More

Matt Boswell & Matt Papa

 

What love could re - member no wrongs we have done 

Om - niscient 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 af - ford

Our sins they are many His mercy is more

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
