Invocation

Hymn 59: Forever Settled in the Heavens Duke Street Text: The Psalter (1912)

Forever settled in the heav'ns, thy word, O Lord, shall firmly stand;
thy faithfulness shall never fail;the earth abides at thy command.

Thy word and works unmoved remain, thine ev'ry purpose to fulfil;
all things are thine and thee obey, and all as servants wait thy will.

I should have perished in my woe had not I loved thy law divine;
that law I never can forget; O save me, Lord, for I am thine.

The wicked would destroy my soul, but in thy truth is refuge sure;
exceeding broad is thy command, and in perfection shall endure.

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into ­­heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Scripture Reading: John 11:38–44

38 Then Jesus, deeply moved again, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, “Take away the stone.” Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, “Lord, by this time there will be an odor, for he has been dead four days.” 40 Jesus said to her, “Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God?” 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes and said, “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 I knew that you always hear me, but I said this on account of the people standing around, that they may believe that you sent me.” 43 When he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out.” 44 The man who had died came out, his hands and feet bound with linen strips, and his face wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”

Multilingual Prayer

Hymn 175: A Wonderful Saviour Is Jesus My Lord Kirkpatrick Text: Fanny J. Crosby (1890)

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, a wonderful Savior to me;
he hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, where rivers of pleasure I see.

Refrain

He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock that shadows a dry, thirsty land;
he hideth my life in the depths of his love, and covers me there with his hand,
and covers me there with his hand.

A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, he taketh my burden away;
he holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved, he giveth me strength as my day. (Refrain)

With numberless blessings each moment he crowns, and filled with a fullness divine,
I sing in my rapture, O glory to God for such a Redeemer as mine! (Refrain)

When clothed in his brightness, transported I rise to meet him in clouds of the sky,
his perfect salvation, his wonderful love, I'll shout with the millions on high. (Refrain)

Sermon Passage: Galatians 3:10–14

10 For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed be everyone who does not abide by all things written in the Book of the Law, and do them.” 11 Now it is evident that no one is justified before God by the law, for “The righteous shall live by faith.” 12 But the law is not of faith, rather “The one who does them shall live by them.” 13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— 14 so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
