Invocation

Hymn 99: My Song Forever Shall Record (Stanzas 1-4) Winchester New

Text: The Psalter (1920)

My song forever shall record the tender mercies of the Lord;
your faithfulness will I proclaim, and every age shall know your name.

I sing of mercies that endure, forever builded firm and sure,
of faithfulness that never dies, established changeless in the skies.

Behold God's truth and grace displayed, for he has faithful cov'nant made,
and he has sworn that David's son shall ever sit upon his throne:

"For him my mercy shall endure, my cov'nant made with him is sure;
his throne and race I will maintain forever, while the heav'ns remain."

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 17:20–23

20 “I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.

Multilingual Prayer

Hymn 297: All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name Diadem

Text: Edward Perronet (1779), John Rippon (1787)

All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name! Let angels prostrate fall, let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

Crown him, ye martyrs of your God who from his altar call, who from his altar call;
extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

Ye seed of Israel's chosen race, ye ransomed of the fall, ye ransomed of the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget the wormwood and the gall, the wormwood and the gall,
go, spread your trophies at his feet, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe, on this terrestrial ball, on this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

O that with yonder sacred throng we at his feet may fall, we at his feet may fall!
we'll join the everlasting song, and crown...him,
crown him, crown him, crown him—and crown him Lord of all!

Offertory: Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor arr. Stephen Nielson Bob Yang, piano

Sermon Passage: Galatians 6:6–10

6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.

Sermon: Sowing Right Dr. Enrique Leal

Hymn 444: O Zion, Haste, Your Mission High Fulfilling Tidings Text: Mary Ann Thomson (1868)

O Zion, haste, your mission high fulfilling, to tell to all the world that God is light;
that he who made all nations is not willing, one soul should perish, lost in shades of night.

(Refrain)

Publish glad tidings, tidings of peace, tidings of Jesus, redemption, and release.

Behold how many thousands still are lying, bound in the dark-some prison-house of sin,
with none to tell them of the Savior's dying, or of the life he died for them to win. (Refrain)

Proclaim to every people, tongue, and nation that God, in whom they live and move, is love;
tell how he stooped to save his lost creation, and died on earth that we might live in love. (Refrain)

Give of your sons to bear the message glorious; give of your wealth to speed them on their way;
pour out your soul for them in prayer victorious, and all your spending Jesus will repay. (Refrain)
