Call to Worship
Psalm 81:1-3, 7-10
Leader: Sing aloud to God our strength; shout for joy to the God of Jacob!
All: Raise a song; sound the tambourine, the sweet lyre with the harp.
Leader: Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the full moon, on our feast day. In distress you called, and I delivered you; I answered you in the secret place of thunder; I tested you at the waters of Meribah.
All: Hear, O my people, while I admonish you! O Israel, if you would but listen to me!
Leader: There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not bow down to a foreign god.
All: I am the LORD your God, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt. Open your mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Prayer of Adoration
O Worship The King All Glorious Above (Psalm 104)
by Michael Farren, By: Robert Grant (1833); Arr: Wendell Kimbrough (2014)
O worship the King all-glorious above
O gratefully sing His power and His love
Our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days
Pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise
O tell of His might and sing of His grace
Whose robe is the light, whose canopy space
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form
And dark is His path on the wings of the storm
Your bountiful care, what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air, it shines in the light
It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain
And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain
Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail
In You do we trust, nor find You to fail
Your mercies, how tender, how firm to the end
Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend
O measureless might, unchangeable love
Whom angels delight to worship above
Your ransomed creation, with glory ablaze
In true adoration shall sing to Your praise
Psalm 45 (O King)
Matthew Searles
O King, you are most worthy, of men you are the best
Your words are true and gracious, you are forever blessed
Take up your sword in splendour, ride forth in majesty
For justice and mercy and true humility
Your arrows pierce your enemies, you march across the land
The peoples and the nations against you cannot stand
Your throne will last forever, with justice you shall reign
You love all that is righteous and hate all evil gain
So God has richly blessed you with joy abundantly
Your robes are all fragrant, your courts are ivory
There princesses attend you, sweet music from of old
Your future queen awaits you arrayed in finest gold
O bride forsake all others, don’t give your love abroad
The king desires your beauty; so honour him your Lord
The gown he gives is glorious, the threads are twined with gold
In shimmering colours the envy of the world
A joyful crowd is with her, with gladness now they sing
And finally she enters the palace of the king
This king will reign forever, his sons upon the earth
And ev’ry generation will tell of his great worth
All nations will soon praise him and fall down at his feet
His kingdom established, where truth and mercy meet
O Jesus we adore you, our lover and our king
Your church, your bride is waiting and so to you we sing
Confession of Sin
Exodus 20:2-17
Leader: "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
All: "You shall have no other gods before me.
Leader: "You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
All: "You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Leader: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or the sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
All: "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
Leader: "You shall not murder.
All: "You shall not commit adultery.
Leader: "You shall not steal.
All: "You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
Leader: "You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, or his male servant, or his female servant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."

Jesus said that if I thirst, I should come to Him
No one else can satisfy, I should come to Him
Jesus said if I am weak, I should come to Him
No one else can be my strength, I should come to Him
CHORUS:
For the Lord is good and faithful
He will keep us day and night
We can always run to Jesus
Jesus, strong and kind

And He showed me on that cross, He will come to me

Sermon Passage
Exodus 7:13-25
13 Still Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. 14 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's heart is hardened; he refuses to let the people go. 15 Go to Pharaoh in the morning, as he is going out to the water. Stand on the bank of the Nile to meet him, and take in your hand the staff that turned into a serpent. 16 And you shall say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, "Let my people go, that they may serve me in the wilderness. But so far, you have not obeyed." 17 Thus says the LORD, "By this you shall know that I am the LORD: behold, with the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water that is in the Nile, and it shall turn into blood. 18 The fish in the Nile shall die, and the Nile will stink, and the Egyptians will grow weary of drinking water from the Nile."'" 19 And the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, their canals, and their ponds, and all their pools of water, so that they may become blood, and there shall be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, even in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"
20 Moses and Aaron did as the LORD commanded. In the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants he lifted up the staff and struck the water in the Nile, and all the water in the Nile turned into blood. 21 And the fish in the Nile died, and the Nile stank, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. There was blood throughout all the land of Egypt. 22 But the magicians of Egypt did the same by their secret arts. So Pharaoh's heart remained hardened, and he would not listen to them, as the LORD had said. 23 Pharaoh turned and went into his house, and he did not take even this to heart. 24 And all the Egyptians dug along the Nile for water to drink, for they could not drink the water of the Nile. 25 Seven full days passed after the LORD had struck the Nile.
Leader: The grass withers, the flower fades,
All: ...but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8)
Sermon
"Idols in Our Midst"
Pastor Mike McBride
Only A Holy God
by Michael Farren, Jonny Robinson, Dustin Smith, Rich Thompson
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven
Who else could make every king bow down
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles
Only a Holy God
What other beauty demands such praises
What other splendour outshines the sun
What other majesty rules with justice
Only a Holy God
CHORUS:
Come and behold Him, the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy; Forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
What other glory consumes like fire
What other power can raise the dead
What other name remains undefeated
Only a Holy God
Who else could rescue me from my failing
Who else would offer His only Son
Who else invites me to call Him Father
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God

We Are Yours Forever
By: Keaton Bunting, Bob Kauflin, and David Zimmer (2024)
O God, when You spoke into darkness
And said, “Let there be,” and it was
You made us the crown of creation to share in Your love
And when we rejected Your goodness
To follow our foolish desires
You knew that one day You’d redeem us through one sacrifice
CHORUS:
Oh, what a love You have lavished on us
To call us Your children, daughters and sons
One with the Savior, bought by His blood. We are Yours forever
By grace You have made us Your family
We’re kept in Your kindness and care
With boldness we know we can bring You each burden we bear
And though we are longing to see You
Your Spirit within testifies
That we are adopted and treasured 'til faith becomes sight
BRIDGE:
What now can separate us from the hope You gave us
We will be like Christ our King we are Yours forever
Benediction
† We invite you to stretch out your hands as you receive the Lord’s blessing.
