1‘Great and marvellous are your deeds,
Call To Lord God Almighty.
Worship Just and true are your ways,
King of the nations.
Revelation 15:3b-4 4
Who will not fear you, Lord,
and bring glory to your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come
and worship before you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.’
I see the King of glory
Hosanna Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes
I see his love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the Highest
Hosanna
Hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We’re on our knees
We’re on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like you
Have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks yours

23
If you, Lord, kept a record of sins,
CALL TO Lord, who could stand?
CONFESSION 4
But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
Psalm 130:3-4
Confession Most merciful God,
we humbly admit that we need your help.
We confess that we have wandered from your way:
we have done wrong, and we have failed to do what is right.
You alone can save us.
Have mercy on us:
wipe out our sins and teach us to forgive others.
Bring forth in us the fruit of the Spirit
that we may live as disciples of Christ.
This we ask in the name of Jesus our Saviour. Amen.
8
If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not
Assurance in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us
Of our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness
Forgiveness
1 John 1:8-9
3There is no other name
No Other In heaven can be found
Name Through whom we are redeemed
Through whom your grace abounds
No other name can save
But Jesus Christ our Lord
My joy in sorrow’s tears
My strength to cast out fears
No other name
But Jesus Jesus
My hope in darkest night
My broken soul’s delight
No other name
But Jesus Jesus
There is no victory
But Jesus crucified
No other cure for sin
But that our Saviour died
No other hope we have
But that he rose again
He rose again
No other throne endures
No other song remains
But worthy is the Lamb
Who was for sinners slain

41
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted,
Bible seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above
Isaiah 6:1-7 him were seraphim, each with six wings: with two wings they covered
their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were
flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:
‘Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
the whole earth is full of his glory.’
4
At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the
temple was filled with smoke.
5
‘Woe to me!’ I cried. ‘I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and
I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King,
the Lord Almighty.’
6
Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which
he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth
and said, ‘See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and
your sin atoned for.’
Hebrews 12:18-29 18
You have not come to a mountain that can be touched and that is
burning with fire; to darkness, gloom and storm; 19 to a trumpet blast
or to such a voice speaking words that those who heard it begged that
no further word be spoken to them, 20 because they could not bear what
was commanded: ‘If even an animal touches the mountain, it must be
stoned to death.’ 21 The sight was so terrifying that Moses said, ‘I am
trembling with fear.’
22
But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of
angels in joyful assembly, 23 to the church of the firstborn, whose names
are written in heaven. You have come to God, the Judge of all, to the
spirits of the righteous made perfect, 24 to Jesus the mediator of a new
covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the
blood of Abel.
25
See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape
when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will
we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time
his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, ‘Once more I will
shake not only the earth but also the heavens.’ 27 The words ‘once more’
indicate the removing of what can be shaken – that is, created things – so
that what cannot be shaken may remain.
28
Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let
us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe,
29
for our ‘God is a consuming fire.’
This is the word of the Lord
Thanks be to God
5Sermon Discipleship
I’m bored with God
Being bored with God is very deflating to discipleship
The (non) problem of God’s invisibility
Romans 1:20, 1 Timothy 6:15
Little boring gods:
• God my invisible friend
• The one-sided, toothless God
• The vague and diffuse God
Regaining a non-boring God (Hebrews 12):
• The consuming fire (Isaiah 6)
• The great high priest
6Come, thou fount of every blessing
Come Thou Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Fount Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer*
Here by thy great help I’ve come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Robert Robinson, John Wyeth *In the O.T. the prophet Samuel gave the name ‘Ebenezer’ to a stone set up in
Public Domain recognition of God’s assistance in defeating the Philistines.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard
Benediction your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:7
