The Call to Worship

~ based on Psalm 98 ~

Leader: Oh sing to the Lord a new song,
for He has done marvellous things! His
right hand and His holy arm have
worked salvation for Him.

Unison: The Lord has made known His
salvation; He has revealed His right-
eousness in the sight of the nations. He
has remembered His steadfast love and
faithfulness to the house of Israel, and
the ends of the earth have seen the
salvation of our God.

Leader: Make a joyful noise to the Lord,
all the earth; break forth into joyous
song and sing praises!

Prayer of Adoration

Songs of Praise & Worship

Let Your Kingdom Come

Your glorious cause, O God
Engages our hearts
May Jesus Christ be known
Wherever we are
We ask not for ourselves
But for Your renown
The cross has saved us so we pray
Your Kingdom come

chorus
Let Your Kingdom come
Let Your will be done
So that everyone
Might know Your Name
Let Your song be heard
Everywhere on earth
Till Your sovereign work on earth
Is done, let Your Kingdom come

Give us Your strength, O God
And courage to speak

Perform Your wondrous deeds
Through those who are weak
Lord use us as You want
Whatever the test
By grace well preach Your gospel
Til our dying breath

(repeat chorus)

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown Him with many crowns
The Lamb upon His throne
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own
Awake, my soul and sing Of Him
Who died for thee
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity

Crown Him the Lord of love
Behold His hands and side
Rich wounds, yet visible above
In beauty glorified
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight
But downward bends His wond'ring eye
At mysteries so bright

Crown Him the Lord of life
Who triumphed o'er the grave
Who rose victorious to the strife
For those He came to save
His glories now we sing
Who died, and rose on high
Who died eternal life to bring
And lives that death may die

Crown Him the Lord of heav'n
One with the Father known
One with the Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne
To Thee be endless praise
For Thou for us hast died
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified

Lord Most High

From the ends of the earth (echo)
From the depths of the sea (echo)
From the heights of the heavens (echo)
Your name be praised

From the hearts of the weak (echo)
From the shouts of the strong (echo)
From the lips of all people (echo)
This song we raise, Lord

Throughout the endless ages
You will be crowned with praises
Lord Most High
Exalted in every nation
Sovereign of all creation
Lord Most High, be magnified
Call to Repentance & Renewal

~ Jeremiah 17:9 ~

Leader: The Lord has spoken through the
prophet Jeremiah saying, The heart is
deceitful above all things and desper-
ately sick; who can understand it? I the
Lord search the heart and examine the
mind.

Prayer of Confession

Leader: Gracious God, our sins are too
heavy to carry, too real to hide, and to
deep to undo.

~ Silent confession and reflection ~

Leader: Forgive what our lips tremble to
name, what our hearts can no longer bear,
and what has become for us a consuming
fire of judgment.

~ Silent confession and reflection ~

Leader: Set us free from a past we cannot
change; open to us a future in which we
can be changed.

~ Silent confession and reflection ~

Leader: And grant us to grow more and
more in Your likeness and image, though
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Words of the Gospel

~ based on 1 John 1:8-2:1 ~

Leader: While it is true that we have
sinned, it is a greater truth that God offers
forgiveness to all who turn to the Lord
Jesus Christ, seeking His grace and
pardon. He is the Righteous Oneour
Advocatewho speaks in our defence.
He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins,
and for the sins of the world.

To all who humbly seek the mercy of
God, I say to you that in Christ Jesus
your sins are forgiven!

Song of Response

Hail the Day

Hail the day that Christ arose
Through the skies to worlds unknown
Glorious there He ever reigns
Object of all Heavens praise

See Him lift His hands above
See the scars of His great love
He has conquered death and sin
Saving all who hope in Him

chorus
Hallelujah, hallelujah
The King of Love is on His throne
Hallelujah, hallelujah
His grace will lead us safely home

Though He dwells beyond the stars
His redeemed are on His heart
Even now He intercedes
Jesus cares for all our needs

(repeat chorus)

Song of Worship

This Is Amazing Grace

Who breaks the power
Of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty
And so much stronger
The King of Glory
The King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth
With holy thunder
Who leaves us breathless
In awe and wonder
The King of Glory
The King above all kings

chorus
This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You would lay down Your life
That I would be set free
Jesus, I sing for
All that You've done for me
(All that You've done for me)

Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan
A son and daughter
The King of Glory
The King above all kings

Who rules the nations
With truth and justice
Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance
The King of Glory
The King above all kings

bridge
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
And worthy is the King
Who conquered the grave
And worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King
Who conquers the grave
And worthy is the Lamb who was slain
And worthy is the King
Who conquers the grave
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy, worthy, worthy

Joining Jesus On A New Journey

Luke 9:51-62

Pastor John Ferguson

Songs for Communion

Here I Am To Worship

Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You

chorus
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
All together worthy
All together wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

(repeat chorus)

bridge
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
(repeat)

I Stand Amazed (How Marvellous)

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me
A sinner, condemned, unclean
Singing

chorus
How marvellous! How wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvellous! How wonderful
Is my Saviour's love for me

He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
And He bore the burden to Calvary
And suffered and died alone

When with the ransomed in glory
His face I at last shall see
Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me

God Graciously

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus name

chorus
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil

His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay

(repeat chorus)

When He shall come
With trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in all His righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne

(repeat chorus)

Our Confession of Faith

~ based on Romans 8:1, 29, 38-39 ~

Leader: Let us together profess our faith
by saying

Unison: We believe there is no condem-
nation for those who are in Christ Jesus;
for we know that all things work
together for good for those who love
God, who are called according to Gods
purpose.

We are convinced that neither life, nor
death, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor powers,
nor height, nor depth, nor anything else
in all creation, will be able to separate
us from the love of God in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Amen.
The Benediction

~ 2 Thessalonians 3:16 ~

Leader: Now may the Lord of peace
Himself give you peace at all times and
in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Unison: Amen!
