Prelude
*Call to
Worship: “Bless
His Holy Name”
Bless
the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
He has
done great things, He has done great things,
He has
done great things; bless His holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name.
*Welcome
*God's
Greeting and Mutual Greeting
*Songs of
Praise: “We
Will Glorify”
We will glorify the King of kings; we
will glorify the Lamb.
We will glorify the Lord of lords, who
is the great I AM.
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty; we will bow before His throne.
We will worship Him in
righteousness, we will worship Him alone.
He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth; He is Lord of all who live.
He is Lord above the universe; all
praise to Him we give.
Hallelujah to the King of kings; Hallelujah to the
Lamb.
Hallelujah to the Lord of lords, who is the great I AM.
“You
Are My All in All”
You are my strength when I
am weak,
You are
the treasure that I seek;
You are my
all in all.
Seeking You as a precious jewel,
Lord, to
give up, I'd be a fool;
You are my
all in all.
Refrain: Jesus,
Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name!
Jesus, Lamb of God, Worthy is Your name!
Taking my sin, my cross, my
shame,
Rising again I bless Your name;
You are my
all in all.
When I
fall down, You pick me up;
When I am
dry, You fill my cup;
You are my
all in all. Refrain
Ministry
of Music: “You
Reign” Kris Ponstein
Congregational Prayer
Offertory Song: “Redeemed”
Redeemed,
how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed
by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed
through His infinite mercy,
His child,
and forever, I am.
Refrain: Redeemed,
redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.
Redeemed and so happy in
Jesus,
No
language my rapture can tell;
I know
that the light of His presence
With me
doth continually dwell.
Refrain
I think of my blessed
Redeemer,
I think of
Him all the day long;
I sing,
for I cannot be silent;
His love
is the theme of my song.
Refrain
I know I shall see in His
beauty
The King
in whose law I delight;
Who
lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night. Refrain
Ministry
of Music: “There Will Be a
Day” Kris Ponstein
Scripture: Revelation 3:14-22
14 “To the
angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are
the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s
creation. 15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I
wish you were either one or the other! 16 So, because you are
lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. 17 You
say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor,
blind and naked. 18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the
fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your
shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.
19 Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and
repent. 20 Here I am! I stand at
the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in
and eat with him, and he with me.
21 To him who
overcomes, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I
overcame and sat down with my Father on his throne. 22 He who has an
ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the
churches.”
Sermon: Behold
He Is Standing at the Door
Applicatory
Prayer
*Hymn
Response: “The
Power of Your Love”
Lord, I
come to You, Let my heart be changed, renewed.
Flowing
from the grace that I’ve found in you.
And Lord I’ve come to know the weaknesses I see in me
Will be
stripped away by the power of Your love.
Refrain: Hold me
close, let Your love surround me;
Bring me near,
draw me to your side.
And as I
wait, I’ll rise up like the eagle,
And I
will soar with You, Your Spirit leads me on
In the power of
your love.
Lord, unveil my eyes, let me see You face to face,
The
knowledge of Your love as you live in me.
Lord renew
my mind, as Your will unfolds in my life,
In living
every day in the power of Your love!
*Benediction
*Doxology: “Praise God From
Whom All Blessings Flow”
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.
Amen. Amen.
