CALL TO WORSHIP  |  Psalm 111:1-5

PSALM  110   |  Sing Psalms  |  Tune -  Bucer

The LORD said to my Lord:
“Sit here at my right hand,
Until I make your foes a stool
on which your feet may stand.”

The LORD will make your reign
extend from Zion’s hill;
With royal power you’ll rule among
those who oppose your will.

When you display your power,
your people flock to you;
At dawn, arrayed in holiness,
your youth will come like dew.

Unchangeably the LORD
with solemn purpose swore:
“Just like Melchizedek you are
a priest for evermore.”

The Lord’s at your right hand;
there he will ever stay.
He on his day of wrath will crush
the kings who bar his way.

The nations he will judge;
the dead in heaps will lie.
The mighty of the earth he’ll crush--
all who his rule defy.

A brook beside the way
his thirst will satisfy;
And, thus refreshed, he will with joy
lift up his head on high.

PRAYER
  • Adoration (Praising God for who He is and what He is like/His attributes),
  • Confession (Confessing our sins to God)
  • Thanksgiving (Giving thanks to God for all He has given and continues to give)
  • Supplication (Requesting His help, presence, leading and provision – especially for the people of God in our time of worship on the Lord’s Day)

SCRIPTURE READING  |  John 5:1-29

RECORDED SERMON  |  "
Of the Father’s Love Begotten.”  |  Rev Robert Walker
HYMN  |  Of the Fathers Love Begotten  |  Tune - Praise my Soul, the King of Heaven

Of the Father's love begotten
ere the worlds began to be,
he is Alpha and Omega,
he the Source, the Ending he,
of the things that are, that have been,
and that future years shall see.


O that birth forever blessed,
when the Virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race;
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face.

This is he whom heav'n-taught singers
sang of old with one accord,
whom the Scriptures of the prophets
promised in their faithful word;
now he shines, the long expected;
let creation praise its Lord,.


O ye heights of heav'n, adore him;
angel hosts, his praises sing:
all dominions, bow before him
and extol our God and King;
let no tongue on earth be silent,
ev'ry voice in concert ring.


Christ, to thee, with God the Father,
and, O Holy Ghost, to thee,
hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
and unwearied praises be,
honour, glory, and dominion
and eternal victory.

BENEDICTION
Now to him who Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

CALL TO WORSHIP  |  Malachi 1:11

PSALM 43: 3-5  |  Scottish Psalter

O send thy light forth and thy truth;
let them be guides to me,
And bring me to thine holy hill,
ev'n where thy dwellings be.

Then will I to God's altar go,
to God my chiefest joy:
Yea, God, my God, thy name to praise
my harp I will employ.

Why art thou then cast down, my soul?
what should discourage thee?
And why with vexing thoughts art thou
disquieted in me?

Still trust in God; for him to praise
good cause I yet shall have:
He of my count'nance is the health,
my God that doth me save.

SCRIPTURE READING  |  Acts 16: 16-40

SERMON  |  "Silas - A Faithful Brother."  |  Rev David Randall Snr
The sermon will automatically publish here by 11am on Sunday morning.
HYMN
Who would true valour see,
let him come hither;
one here will constant be,
come wind, come weather;
there's no discouragement
shall make him once relent
his first avowed intent
to be a pilgrim.

Whoso beset him round
with dismal stories,
do but themselves confound,
his strength the more is.
No lion can him fright:
he'll with a giant fight,
but he will have the right
to be a pilgrim.
​
Hobgoblin nor foul fiend
can daunt his spirit;
he knows he at the end
shall life inherit.
Then, fancies, fly away;
he'll not fear what men say;
he'll labour night and day
to be a pilgrim.

BENEDICTION  |  Ephesians 3:20-­‐21
“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen.”

“Yet I will rejoice in the LORD”  |  Sunday 10th

CALL TO WORSHIP

PSALM 97:5-12  |  Sing Psalms  |  Rockingham)
Hills melt like wax before the LORD,
Before the Lord of all the earth.
The heav’ns proclaim his righteousness;
All peoples see his glorious worth.

All those who worship images
Are put to everlasting shame;
Their worthless idols are their boast--
You gods, bow down before his name!

To Zion hill and Judah’s towns
Your judgments, LORD, great joy supply.
Above the earth and all the gods
Exalted is the LORD Most High.

Hate evil, you who love the LORD;
His faithful ones he will defend,
And from the hands of wicked men
To them deliv’rance he will send.

Upon the righteous light will shine,
And joy on those of upright ways.
You righteous, in the LORD rejoice,
And to his holy name give praise.

PRAYER

SERMON  |  “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD”  |  Rev. Paul Gibson

PRAYER

PSALM 105: 1-11
  |  Sing Psalms
Give thanks to the LORD God and call on his name;
His wonderful deeds to the nations proclaim.
Sing praises to him, and his exploits record;
Let all those who seek him rejoice in the LORD.

You chosen ones, look to the LORD and his might;
Seek ever his face, and his wonders recite,
His miracles too, and his judgments divine--
You children of Abraham, Jacob’s own line.

The LORD is our God, and he rules all the earth.
Rememb’ring his cov’nant—the word he set forth--
He vowed, for the ages to come, to make good
His promise to Abr’ham, to Isaac renewed.

To Jacob his sov’reign decree was made sure;
With Isr’el his cov’nant would always endure:
​“To you I will give, as your portion to stand,
The country of Canaan, the beautiful land.”

Seven Imperatives for 2021  |  Sunday 3rd January 2021

CALL TO WORSHIP

​PSALM 33: 1-5; 10-22  |  Sing Psalms
Joyfully sing to the LORD, all you righteous;
for it is good that the upright give praise.
With harp and lyre praise the LORD and make music;
with shouts of joy, a new song to him raise.

Righteous and true is the word God has spoken;
all the LORD’s actions his faithfulness prove.
He loves true righteousness, judgment and justice;
all earth is full of his unfailing love

Foiled by the LORD are the plans of the nations;
thwarted by him are the peoples’ designs.
But the LORD’s purposes stand firm for ever;
his plans endure through all ages and times.

Favoured and blessed is the nation he’s chosen,
whose God the LORD is throughout every age;
Blessed are the people he called to be near him,
those whom he chose as his own heritage.

From heaven’s height the LORD looks down and watches;
he sees mankind from his own dwelling-place.
He who has moulded the hearts of all people
knows every deed of the whole human race.

No king is saved by the size of his army;
no warrior lives by the strength of his hand.
Vain is man’s trust in a horse for deliverance,
nor by its strength can it victory command.

But the LORD’s eyes are on those who revere him,
those who rely on his unfailing love;
So that from famine and death he may save them,
giving them life by his power from above.

We wait in hope for the LORD, our defender;
trusting his holy name, our hearts are blessed.
LORD, may your unfailing love rest upon us,
just as in you our sure hope has been placed

PRAYER

CONFESSION OF SIN
"Our Father in heaven, we confess that in recent days and throughout last year we have not wholeheartedly sought you or perfectly lived by your commandments. We have not walked in your ways or been devoted to your precepts. We have allowed our minds to entertain futile and impure thoughts; our affections have been stirred by that which is transient and worthless; and our actions and words have been inconsistent with our profession of faith. Have mercy on us, we pray. Forgive our sins, cleanse our hearts and renew a right spirit within us. Assure us of your continuing love, grant us a spirit of holy fear and help us to live lives worthy of the gospel. For we ask it all in Jesus’ name, Amen."

HYMN
  |  
Take my life, and let it be

Take my life and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee.
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in endless praise.

Take my hands and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love.
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

Take my voice and let me sing,
Always, only for my King.
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold.
Take my intellect and use
Every pow’r as Thou shalt choose.

Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine.
Take my heart, it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

Take my love, my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store.
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

BENEDICTION

    “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God…For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
    Exodus 20:8-11 ​
