The God Who Assures

Series: Exodus: The God Who Is

The God Who Assures

August 30, 2020 | Michael Uyeda

Passage: Exodus 5:1-9

As we continue our sermon series in Exodus, we come to the point in God's story where Moses and Aaron are given the assignment of relaying His command to Pharaoh to let His people go.  But things don't go the way that Moses and his people are expecting them to and life gets harder and not better. When things in our lives go from bad to worse, we'll also be tempted to give in to disobedience and unbelief because we think that God has forgotten about us.  But God wants us to know that His promises are greater than our problems and that He can be trusted. Join us this Sunday as we look at Exodus 5 & 6 and see the God who assures us by giving us spiritual freedom, our true identity and a future hope!

CALL TO WORSHIP 

Exodus 6:6-8

Leader: Lift up your hearts

Congregation: Our hearts are lifted up to the Lord

CONFESSION

Most merciful God,

we confess that we have sinned against you

in thought, word, and deed,

by what we have done,

and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart;

we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,

have mercy on us and forgive us;

that we may delight in your will,

and walk in your ways,

to the glory of your Name. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST

1 Corinthians 1:27-31

CONFESSION OF FAITH (Nicene Creed)

Leader: Confess with me our faith and our hope

Congregation:

Christ has died

Christ is risen

Christ is coming again

 


Your Name Is Matchless
by Sovereign Grace Music

Verse 1

We were sinners we were orphans we were looking for a home

We were lost and we were broken wandering alone

Looking down at our condition you sent Your Son to change our fate

Though we were hopelessly imprisoned He came to take our place

Chorus 1

Glory to the name of Jesus

Glory to the only name that saves

Ransomed the captives Your name is matchless

Verse 2

What a mystery to fathom   that we're Your children set apart

For we were enemies not pilgrims prodigals at heart 

But Your Spirit now has caused us to no longer doubt Your love

Abba Father You have bought us adopted through Your Son

Chorus 

Glory to the name of Jesus Glory to the only name that saves

Ransomed the captives Your name is matchless

Glory to the name that freed us Glory to the love that made a way

Beauty for ashes Your name is matchless

Bridge

Glory to Your name

Verse 3

Ponder all we have been given heirs to God through Jesus' name

A sting-less death has been made certain

And glory now awaits Your glory now awaits



Jesus Paid It All Traditional Hymn

Verse1 

I hear the Savior say, thy strength indeed is small

Child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me thine all in all

Verse 2

Lord, now indeed I find thy power and thine a - lone

Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone

Chorus

Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow

Verse 3

And when before the throne I stand in him complete

Jesus died my soul to save my lips shall still repeat

Bridge 

O praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead

O praise the one who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead


SCRIPTURE READING

Exodus 3:1-10

LORD’S SUPPER 

Living Hope
by Phil Wickham

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

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


Chorus 1

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

Verse 3

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 

Be Thou My Vision by Ascend the Hill

Verse 1

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

Verse 2

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;

I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;

Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;

Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one. 

Verse 3

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise,

Thou mine inheritance, now and always:

Thou and Thou only, first in  my heart,

High king of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

Chorus

O God be my everything, be my delight

Be Jesus my glory, my soul satisfied

DOXOLOGY 

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all creatures here below

Praise him above ye heavenly hosts

Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
