Corporate Confession
Heavenly Father, You are the Almighty One who is righteous and true. Nobody can stand before you with unclean hearts. It is only in the righteousness of Christ that we are acceptable to you. Yet even as your children we are imperfect and battle sin. We have failed in thought, word and deed. We have failed in what we have let undone. Please forgive us for all the ways in which we have rebelled against you. Please grant that we serve and please you from this time forward. In Jesus name we ask. Amen.

Assurance of Forgiveness

Singing: To God Be The Glory

Fanny J. Crosby, William H. Doane, and William Howard Doane

Verse 1
To God be the glory
Great things he has done!
So loved he the world
That he gave us his son
Who yielded his life
An atonement for sin
And opened the life gate
That we may go in

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father
Through Jesus, the Son
And give him the glory
Great things he has done!

Verse 2
O perfect redemption
The purchase of blood
To every believer
The promise of God
The vilest offender
Who truly believes
That moment from Jesus
Forgiveness receives

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father
Through Jesus, the Son
And give him the glory
Great things he has done!

Verse 3
Great things he has taught us
Great things he has done
And great our rejoicing
Through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher
And greater will be
Our wonder our transport
When Jesus we see

Chorus
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the earth hear his voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!
Let the people rejoice!
O come to the Father
Through Jesus, the Son
And give him the glory
Great things he has done!

Sermon: Your Redemption Draws Near (Preacher: Mark Vivian)

Singing: We Belong To The Day

Michael Morrow

Verse 1
We belong to the day
To the day that is to come
When the night falls away
And our saviour will return
For the glory of the King is in our hearts
On that day
We will be seen for what we are

Verse 2
We belong to the day
Let us journey in the light
Put on faith put on love
As our armour for the fight
And the promise of salvation in our eyes
On that day
The proud will fall the faithful rise

Chorus
Strong as a mighty rock
Our refuge in the coming wrath
The heart of the bride belongs
To Jesus Jesus
The earth in its turning stops
To marvel at the Son of God
And all of that day belongs
To Jesus Jesus

Verse 3
We belong to the day
We were bought with Jesus’ blood
Soon he comes as the Judge
In the power of his word
We must tell of his salvation while we wait
For the day
When Jesus comes will be too late

Chorus
Strong as a mighty rock
Our refuge in the coming wrath
The heart of the bride belongs
To Jesus Jesus
The earth in its turning stops
To marvel at the Son of God
And all of that day belongs
To Jesus Jesus

Bridge
Oh, if ten thousand years go by
We will wait
Let us tell of his great love
He will come
For his patience means salvation

Chorus
Strong as a mighty rock
Our refuge in the coming wrath
The heart of the bride belongs
To Jesus Jesus
The earth in its turning stops
To marvel at the Son of God
And all of that day belongs
To Jesus Jesus

Chorus
Strong as a mighty rock
Our refuge in the coming wrath
The heart of the bride belongs
To Jesus Jesus
The earth in its turning stops
To marvel at the Son of God
And all of that day belongs
To Jesus Jesus
