GREETING & ANNOUNCEMENTS
CALL TO WORSHIP
Psalm 39
INVOCATION
Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken (Hymn #345)
Glorious things of thee are spoken, Round each habitation, hov’ring,
Zion, city of our God; See the cloud and fire appear
He whose word cannot be broken For a glory and a cov’ring,
Formed thee for His own abode: Showing that the Lord is near:
On the Rock of Ages founded, Thus deriving from their banner
What can shake thy sure repose? Light by night and shade by day,
With salvation’s walls, surrounded, Safe they feed upon the manna
Thou may’st smile at all thy foes. Which he gives them
when they pray.
See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal love, Savior, if of Zion’s city
Well supply thy sons and daughters, I, through grace, a member am,
And all fear of want remove: Let the world deride or pity,
Who can faint, while such a river I will glory in thy name:
Ever flows their thirst t’assuage? Fading is the worldling’s pleasure,
Grace, which, like the Lord, the giver, All his boasted pomp and show;
Never fails from age to age. Solid joys and lasting treasure
None by Zion’s children know.
John Newton, 1779
CONFESSION OF FAITH
Westminster Shorter Catechism
Q. 91. How do the sacraments become effectual means of salvation?
A. The sacraments become effectual means of salvation, not from any virtue
in them, or in him that does administer them; but only by the blessing of Christ,
and the working of his Spirit in them that by faith receive them.
Q. 92. What is a sacrament?
A. A sacrament is a holy ordinance instituted by Christ; wherein, by sensible
signs, Christ, and the benefits of the new covenant, are represented, sealed,
and applied to believers.Q. 94. What is baptism?
A. Baptism is a sacrament, wherein the washing with water in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, does signify and seal our
ingrafting into Christ, and partaking of the benefits of the covenant of grace,
and our engagement to be the Lord’s.
Q. 95. To whom is baptism to be administered?
A. Baptism is not to be administered to any that are out of the visible church,
till they profess their faith in Christ, and obedience to him; but the infants of
such as are members of the visible church are to be baptized.

Creation Sings
Creation sings the Father's song; A second Adam walked the earth,
He calls the sun to wake the dawn Whose blameless life
And run the course of day would break the curse,
Till evening falls in crimson rays. Whose death would set us free
His fingerprints in flakes of snow, To live with Him eternally. (Chorus)
His breath upon this spinning globe,
Creation longs for His return,
He charts the eagle's flight;
When Christ shall reign
Commands the newborn baby's cry.

Chorus The bitter wars that rage
Hallelujah! Are birth pains of a coming age.
Let all creation stand and sing, When He renews the land and sky,

Micah 7.18-19
Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over
transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not
retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love.
He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities
underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.
O Lord, I Love You, My Shield, My Tower (Hymn #620)
O Lord, I love you, My shield, You came down, almighty Lord,

SERMON
Living the Dream (1 Corinthians 7:17-24)
Dave Bentz, PastorO Love That Will Not Let Me Go
O Love that will not let me go, O Cross that liftest up my head,
I rest my weary soul in thee; I dare not ask to fly from thee;
I give thee back the life I owe, I lay in dust life’s glory dead,
That in thine ocean depths its flow And from the ground
May richer, fuller be. there blossoms red
O light that followest all my way, Life that shall endless be.
I yield my flickering torch to thee; ©1997 Christopher Miner Music. Words: George

That in thy sunshine’s blaze its day
May brighter, fairer be.
O Joy that seekest me through pain,
I cannot close my heart to thee;
I trace the rainbow through the rain,
And feel the promise is not vain,
That morn shall tearless be.
