Call to Worship
Matthew 11:28-30, Psalm 95:1-2,6-8, Psalm 100:5
Leader: Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
All: Oh come, let us sing to the LORD; let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation! Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving; let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
Leader: Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
All: For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand.
Leader: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.
All: For the LORD is good; his steadfast love endures forever, and his faithfulness to all generations.
Come Thou Fount
Robert Robinson (1758); Alterer: Martin Madan (1760). Arr. Mercy Me
Come Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I'm fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by Thy help I come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how great a debtor,
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it;
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, Lord take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above
O that day when freed from sinning
I shall see Thy lovely face
Clothed then in my blood washed linen,
How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace
Come, my Lord, do not tarry,
Take my ransomed soul away
Send Thine angels now to carry
Me to realms of endless days
Praise the Lord Ye Heavens
Young Oceans, Harvest
Praise the Lord Ye heavens adore him
Praise him angels in the height
Sun and moon, rejoice before him
Praise him, all ye stars of light
Praise the Lord for he hath spoken
Worlds his mighty voice obeyed
Laws which never shall be broken
For their guidance he hath made
CHORUS:
All creation join the song of praise
Let every tongue declare His mighty ways
And we will sing of Your goodness and mercy all of our days
Praise the Lord for he is glorious
Never shall his promise fail
God hath made his saints victorious
Sin and death shall not prevail (Chorus)
Glory! Glory! All glory to You Lord!
Praise the God of our salvation
Hosts on high, his power proclaim
Heaven and earth, and all creation
Laud and magnify his Name (Chorus)
Confession of Sin
Matthew 6:5-15,19-21
Leader: "And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. "And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this:
All: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
Leader: For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you, but if you do not forgive others their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
All: "Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
Our Confession
† Silent Prayer of Confession
Assurance of Forgiveness
Philippians 3:8-11
Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith- that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.
I Know That My Redeemer Lives
By: Matt Boswell and Matt Papa
I know that my Redeemer lives
What hope this sweet assurance gives
That He who gave His life for me
Arose with healing in His wings
He lives, the tomb is empty still
Redemption's promise He fulfilled
No condemnation now re - mains
The stone of death is rolled away
CHORUS:
My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
On heaven's throne and in my very soul
I know that my Redeemer lives
I know that my Redeemer lives
And all my life is bound to His
In realms above He in - ter - cedes
Our sinless Savior, perfect Priest
No fear can follow where He guides
His constant presence is my light
No power on earth or heav'n a - bove
Can separate us from His love (Chorus)
I know that my Redeemer lives
In life and death I trust in Him
My soul secure, my future safe
He'll not forsake me to the grave
He lives and He will not delay
My eyes will wake to brightest day
And in my flesh I'll see Him stand
When Christ in glory comes again
And every eye will see Him stand
When Christ in glory comes again (Chorus)

Sermon Passage
John 11:17-27
17 Now when Jesus came, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles off, 19 and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. 20 So when Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, but Mary remained seated in the house. 21 Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you." 23 Jesus said to her, "Your brother will rise again." 24 Martha said to him, "I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day." 25 Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, 26 and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27 She said to him, "Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who is coming into the world."
Leader: The grass withers, the flower fades,
All: ...but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)
Sermon
"Mary, Martha and the Resurrection"

How Sweet and Aweful Is the Place
Isaac Watts (1707)
How sweet and aweful is the place, With Christ within the doors
While everlasting love displays, The choicest of her stores
While all our hearts and all our songs, Join to admire the feast
Each of us cry with thankful tongues, “Lord, why was I a guest?”
“Why was I made to hear Thy voice, And enter while there’s room
When thousands make a wretched choice, And rather starve than come?”
’Twas the same love that spread the feast, That sweetly drew us in
Else we had still refused to taste, And perished in our sin
Pity the nations, O our God, Constrain the earth to come
Send Thy victorious Word abroad, And bring the strangers home
We long to see Thy churches full, That all the chosen race
May with one voice and heart and soul, Sing Thy redeeming grace
The Lord’s Supper

Kids: ...and his faithfulness to all generations. (Psalm 100:5)
Rise My Soul, The Lord Is Risen
CityAlight
Rise my soul the Lord is risen, Come behold the empty grave
See the place where darkness laid Him, Sing for only hope remains
Hallelujah, Praise forever, Death defeated and life restored
By that great immortal power, Christ is risen, arise my soul!
Rest my soul the Lord is risen, Love’s redeeming work is done
Now the Father sees His children, As He sees His Sinless Son
O the wonder, O the glory, That same favour is now my own
Shame behind me, grace before me, Christ is risen, arise my soul!
Peace my soul, the Lord is risen, Come and have your hope renewed
For this trial is brief and fleeting, Tears will turn to glory soon
Shout with joy and sound the triumph, Let the music of heaven roar
Let the boast of death be silent, Christ is risen, arise my soul!
Rise my soul for I am risen, Seated now with Christ my Lord
As my life belongs to heaven, Fear shall hold its sway no more
Onward, upward, t’ward the treasure, Filled with courage and endless hope
For this truth Is mine forever, Christ is risen arise my soul!
