Psalm 100 - A Psalm for Giving Thanks
Leader: Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth! Serve the LORD with gladness! Come into his presence with singing!
All: Know that the LORD, he is God! It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving, and his courts with praise! Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Psalm 100 (Old 100th)
By Louis Bourgeois (1551); Arr. Celtic Worship (2021)
All people that on earth do dwell
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell
Come ye before Him and rejoice
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed
Without our aid, He did us make
We are His flock, He doth us feed
And for His sheep, He doth us take
CHORUS:
Yahweh, into Your courts
We enter with thankful hearts
O faithful God, Your love endures
Yahweh, into Your courts
We enter with thankful hearts
O faithful God, Your love endures
O enter, then, His gates with praise
Approach with joy His courts unto
Praise laud and bless His name always
For it is seemly so to do
For why the Lord, our God, is good
His mercy is forever sure
His truth, at all times, firmly stood
And shall from age to age endure (Chorus)
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise Him above ye heavenly host
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
The Lord’s Prayer
Arrangement: Matt Maher
Father, let Your Kingdom come, Father, let Your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven right here in my heart
Father, let Your Kingdom come, Father, let Your will be done
On Earth as in Heaven right here in my heart
CHORUS:
Give us this day, our daily bread; Forgive us, forgive us
As we forgive the ones who sin against us, forgive them
And lead us not into temptation, but deliv - er us from the еvil one
Let Your Kingdom come
BRIDGE:
It's Yours, it's Yours, all Yours, all Yours
The Kingdom, the power, the glory are Yours
It's Yours, it's Yours, all Yours, all Yours
Forever and ever, the Kingdom is Yours
Scripture Reading
Matthew 9:1-13
So [Jesus] got into a boat, crossed over, and came to His own town. Just then some men brought to Him a paralytic lying on a stretcher. Seeing their faith, Jesus told the paralytic, "Have courage, son, your sins are forgiven." At this, some of the scribes said among themselves, "He's blaspheming!" But perceiving their thoughts, Jesus said, "Why are you thinking evil things in your hearts? For which is easier: to say, 'Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up and walk'? But so you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"-- then He told the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your stretcher, and go home." And he got up and went home. When the crowds saw this, they were awestruck and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.
As Jesus passed on from there, he saw a man called Matthew sitting at the tax booth, and he said to him, "Follow me." And he rose and followed him.
And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples. And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?" But when he heard it, he said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.' For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners."
Confession of Sin
Psalm 139:1-4, 23-24
Leader: O LORD, you have searched me and known me!
All: You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
Leader: you discern my thoughts from afar.
All: You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O LORD, you know it altogether. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting!
Silent Prayers of Confession
Assurance of Forgiveness
Psalm 139:7-10
Leader: Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence?
All: If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.
On Christ The Solid Rock
By Edward Mote (1834); Arr: Justin Cofield
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
When darkness veils His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
in every high and stormy gale
my anchor holds within the veil
CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
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
When He shall come with trumpet sound
O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone
faultless to stand before the throne (Chorus)
BRIDGE:
All my hope is in You, All my strength is in You
All my hope is in You, All my strength is in You

Sermon Passage
Psalm 16
A MIKTAM OF DAVID.
Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
2 I say to the LORD, "You are my Lord;
I have no good apart from you."
3 As for the saints in the land,
they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply;
their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the LORD who gives me counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the LORD always before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
11 You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Pastor: The grass withers and the flower fades...
All: ...but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)

"The Source of Joy and Security"
Pastor Mike McBride
Psalm 16 (Fullness of Joy)
Shane and Shane
Preserve me, O God, for I find rest in You alone
I say to the Lord, "You are my Lord, I have no good apart from You"
All sons and daughters, brothers, sisters, my delight
Let's sing together, ”No other gods shall satisfy,” God, You satisfy
CHORUS:
In Your presence there is fullness of joy, joy
You give me counsel, my heart instructs me in the night
You are before me, because You're for me I'm alright, it'll be alright
CHORUS:
In Your presence there is fullness of joy, joy
At Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore, forevermore
BRIDGE:
My heart is glad and my soul rejoice; My flesh it dwells secure
'Cause You put on flesh lived a blameless life, my curse on the cross You bore
Then You ripped the doors off the city of death and the chains fell to the floor
Now the serpent's crushed, it has been finished; You reign forevermore
You are my portion, my cup, and You make my lot secure
The lines have fallen, for me in pleasant places, a beautiful inheritance

King of Love
Henry Williams Baker. arr. I Am They
The King of love my Shepherd is whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am His and He is mine forever, and He is mine forever
Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow with food celestial feedeth
CHORUS:
Never failing ruler of my heart
Everlasting lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of love my Shepherd is
The King of love my Shepherd is
Lost and foolish oft I strayed but yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid and home, rejoicing, brought me
In death's dark vale I fear no ill with Thee, dear Lord, beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me
BRIDGE:
Oh——— Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Oh——— Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
And so through all the length of days, Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd, may I sing Your praise within Your house forever. Within Your house forever
Benediction
† We invite you to stretch out your hands as you receive the Lord’s blessing.
