Worship Guides

Home Worship Guide for May 3, 2020

5/2/2020

Comments

 
Since it’s unwise for us to gather as a church at the moment, we’ve compiled a worship guide for you to use at home. Set aside time on Sunday morning to worship through the readings, songs, prayer, and sermon below. ​
​

I. Scripture Reading


​Read:
Psalm 23

A Psalm of David.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
    He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
    He restores my soul.
He leads me in paths of righteousness
    for his name's sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
    I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
    your rod and your staff,
    they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me
    in the presence of my enemies;
you anoint my head with oil;
    my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
    all the days of my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord
    forever.
​

II. Worship in Song


​Christ the sure and steady anchor
in the fury of the storm
When the winds of doubt blow through me
and my sails have all been torn
In the suffering, in the sorrow
when my sinking hopes are few
I will hold fast to the anchor
it shall never be removed


Christ the sure and steady anchor
while the tempest rages on
when temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won
deeper still then goes the anchor
though I justly stand accused
I will hold fast to the anchor
it shall never be removed

Christ the sure and steady anchor
through the floods of unbelief
Hopeless, somehow, o my soul now lift your eyes to calvary
This my ballast of assurance
See His love forever proved
I will hold fast to the anchor
it shall never be removed

Christ the sure and steady anchor
as we face the wave of death
When these trials give way to glory
and we draw our final breath
We will cross that great horizon 
​

​Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart

Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light

​Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one

Riches I heed not, nor man's empty praise
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art

​High King of Heaven, my victory won
May I reach Heaven's joys, O bright Heav'n's Sun
Heart of my own heart, whate'er befall
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all
​

​     3. Remember to be bold for Christ


IV. Prayer of Response


"Enjoying the Favor Of God," Robert Hawker, from Piercing Heaven: Prayers of the Puritans

Lord Jesus, I seek you and your favor beyond all the riches of the earth, and all the enjoyments of the world. 

Lord, help me never to gorget that it was your favor that brought you down from heaven. Your favor that prompted you to die, to rise again, for poor sinners. Your favor which makes you wash us from all our sins in your blood. 

All of your grace, al the glories of redemption hereafter--everything was bought and the result of your favor. 

Precious Lord, please show me your renewed favor, day by day. And let those visits from you be so gracious, so sweet, so continual, that I may think or speak of nothing else. 

I pray for grace to spend all the moments of my life here, receiving your grace and love, and bringing you love and praise, until you take me home to live at the fountain of your favor. That is when the whole happiness of eternity will be in the praises of God and of the Lamb, and we shall enjoy "the favor of him who dwelt in the bush."
