Sunday, June 14
As stewards of God’s words and works, it is with delight that we have the opportunity to gather as His people in worship by way of a reminder of the truth, power, and goodness of the sacred Scriptures. May we gather in His name and for His glory as we endeavor to make much of Christ through scripture, prayer, song, and the preaching of His Word. We look forward to gathering together this Lord’s day – For Christ, to God’s Glory, and Man’s Joy!

This Sunday’s Sermon
One Faith, One Family | Acts 11:1-18 | Manny Pereira
God has gathered Gentiles into His household and now will be glorified for it in the church. Through Christ and Him crucified, both Jews and Gentiles have access in one Spirit to the Father. More than a personal redemptive marvel, this passage accentuates the epoch-making event of the New Covenant promise extending to the Gentiles. The ends of the earth have been brought near through the blood of Christ. Here Peter retells this pivotal moment in redemptive history. The response is a critical leap for the church. She continues to grow in her appreciation of the weight of Christ and the New Covenant in His blood. She is learning that though there are many nations there is one faith and one family in Christ.

Today’s Song Lyrics
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
Verse 1
All hail the power of Jesus’ name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Bring forth the royal diadem,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Verse 2
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Hail Him who saves you by His grace,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Verse 3
Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
To Him all majesty ascribe,
And crown Him Lord of all!
Verse 4
Oh, that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!
We’ll join the everlasting song,
And crown Him Lord of all!

Come, People of the Risen King
Verse 1
Come, people of the risen King,
Who delight to bring Him praise;
Come all, and tune your hearts to sing
To the Morning Star of grace.
From the shifting shadows of the earth
We will lift our eyes to Him,
Where steady arms of mercy reach
To gather children in.
Chorus
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Let every tongue rejoice!
One heart, one voice;
O church of Christ, rejoice!
Verse 2
Come, those whose joy is morning sun,
And those weeping through the night;
Come, those who tell of battles won,
And those struggling in the fight.
For His perfect love will never change,
And His mercies never cease,
But follow us through all our days
In the certain hope of peace.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Come, young and old from every land,
Men and women of the faith;
Come, those with full or empty hands
Find the riches of His grace.
Over all the world His people sing
Shore to shore we hear them call,
The truth that cries through every age:
"Our God is all in all!"

The Solid Rock
Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
(Chorus)
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
Verse 2
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vale.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
(Repeat Chorus)

Not In Me
Verse 1
No list of sins I have not done,
No list of virtues I pursue,
No list of those I am not like
Can earn myself a place with You.
O God, be merciful to me!
I am a sinner through and through.
My only hope of righteousness
Is not in me, but only You.
Verse 2
No humble dress, no fervent prayer,
No lifted hands, no tearful song,
No recitation of the truth
Can justify a single wrong.
My righteousness is Jesus’ life.
My debt was paid by Jesus’ death.
My weary load was borne by Him,
And He alone can give me rest.
Verse 3
No separation from the world,
No work I do, no gift I give
Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands,
I cannot cause my soul to live.
But Jesus died and rose again.
The pow’r of death is overthrown!
My God is merciful to me,
And merciful in Christ alone.

In Christ Alone
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found.
He is my Light, my strength, my song.
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love! What depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease.
My Comforter, my all in all,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
Verse 2
In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless Babe.
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied,
For every sin on Him was laid.
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again.
And as He stands in victory,
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me.
For I am His, and He is mine,
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death:
This is the power of Christ in me.
From life’s first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand.
‘Till He returns, or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.

The Church’s One Foundation
Verse 1
The Church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ, her Lord;
She is His new creation,
By water and the Word.
From heav’n He came and sought her
To be His holy bride;
With His own blood He bought her,
And for her life He died.
Verse 2
Elect from every nation,
Yet one o’er all the earth,
Her charter of salvation:
One Lord, one faith, one birth.
One holy name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,
And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.
Verse 3
‘Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore;
Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,
And the great Church victorious
Shall be the Church at rest.
Verse 4
Though with a scornful wonder,
Men see her sore oppressed,
By schisms rent asunder,
By heresies distressed,
Yet saints their watch are keeping,
Their cry goes up, “How long?”
And soon the night of weeping
Shall be the morn of song!
Verse 5
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One,
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won;
O happy ones and holy!
Lord give us grace that we,
Like them, the meek and lowly,
On high may dwell with Thee.
