Welcome and notices
Call to worship Psalm 24.1-6
God, we praise you! God, we bless you! MP 1277
God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship,
Father, by your church adored:
All creation shows your glory,
Heaven and earth draw near your throne
Singing 'Holy, holy, holy,
Lord of hosts, and God alone!'
True apostles, faithful prophets,
Saints who set their world ablaze,
Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
Join one growing song of praise,
While your church on earth confesses
One majestic Trinity:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
Jesus Christ, the King of glory,
Everlasting Son of God,
Humble was your virgin mother,
Hard the lonely path you trod:
By your cross is sin defeated,
Hell confronted face to face,
Heaven opened to believers,
Sinners justified by grace.
Christ, at God's right hand victorious,
You will judge the world you made;
Lord, in mercy help your servants
For whose freedom you have paid:
Raise us up from dust to glory,
Guard us from all sin today;
King enthroned above all praises,
Save your people, God, we pray.
Prayer of approach to God
Together Time Living stones
For I'm building a people of power MP 151
And I'm making a people of praise
That will move through this land by my Spirit
And will glorify my precious name
Build Your church, Lord. Make us strong, Lord.
Join our hearts, Lord, through Your Son
Make us one, Lord in Your Body
In the kingdom of Your Son.
Bible Reading 1 Kings 4.34-5.18 (p.340)
Bless the Lord, O my soul; MP 1259
O my soul, worship His holy name.
Sing like never before, O my soul.
I'll worship Your holy name.
The sun comes up,
It's a new day dawning;
It's time to sing Your song again.
Whatever may pass
And whatever lies before me,
Let me be singing
When the evening comes.
You're rich in love
And You're slow to anger,
Your name is great
And Your heart is kind.
For all Your goodness
I will keep on singing;
Ten thousand reasons
For my heart to find.
And on that day
When my strength is failing,
The end draws near
And my time has come,
Still my soul will
Sing Your praise unending:
Ten thousand years
And then for evermore!
Sermon
Let us build a house where love can dwell CH4 198
And all can safely live,
A place where saints and children tell
How hearts learn to forgive;
Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
Rock of faith and vault of grace;
Here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
All are welcome,
All are welcome,
All are welcome in this place.
Let us build a house where love is found
In water, wine and wheat:
A banquet hall on holy ground
Where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus,
Is revealed in time and space;
As we share in Christ the feast that frees us:
Let us build a house where hands will reach
Beyond the wood and stone
To heal and strengthen, serve and teach,
And live the Word they've known.
Here the outcast and the stranger
Bear the image of God's face;
Let us bring an end to fear and danger:
Let us build a house where all are named,
Their songs and visions heard
And loved and treasured, taught and claimed
As words within the Word.
Built of tears and cries and laughter,
Prayers of faith and songs of grace,
Let this house proclaim from floor to rafter:
Sacrament of Holy Communion
Ye servants of God, your Master proclaim, MP 784
And publish abroad His wonderful name:
The name all-victorious of Jesus extol;
His kingdom is glorious, and rules over all.
God ruleth on high, almighty to save;
And still He is nigh, His presence we have;
The great congregation His triumph shall sing;
Ascribing salvation to Jesus our King.
‘Salvation to God who sits on the throne!’
Let all cry aloud, and honour the Son:
The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim,
Fall down on their faces, and worship the Lamb.
Then let us adore, and give Him His right,
All glory and power, all wisdom and might,
All honour and blessing, with angels above,
And thanks never-ceasing, and infinite love.
Blessing
