“It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be lifted up above the hills; and all the nations shall flow to it, and many peoples shall come, and say: ‘Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.’ For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.” Isaiah 2:2,3

Jesus, the name that charms our fears

That bids our sorrows cease

It’s music in the sinner’s ears

It’s life and health and peace!

He breaks the power of reigning sin

He sets the prisoner free

His blood can make the foulest clean

His blood availed for me

Your loosened tongues employ

You blind, behold your savior comes

And leap you lame, for joy!

I Will StandHolland Davis

I will stand in Your house, O Lord

And I will sing of Your great love

‘Cause I was lost but now I’m found

Under the mercy of the cross

I lift up my hands . . . in sweet surrender

I lift up my voice . . . to worship You

I give You my life . . . fill me completely

Let Your name . . . be always on my lips

I will stand in Your house, O Lord

And I will sing of Your great love

‘Cause I was lost but now I’m found

Under the mercy of the cross

I lift up my hands . . . in sweet surrender

I lift up my voice . . . to worship You

I give You my life . . . fill me completely

Let Your name . . . be always on my lips

(repeat)

Let Your name…

Be always on my lips.

God of all grace, you call us to love you with all our heart, soul, mind, strength, and our neighbor as ourselves. Yet we are not sufficient for these things. We confess that our hearts continually turn away from you: from purity to lust, from freedom to slavery, from compassion to indifference. Have mercy on us. Order our lives by your Word.

Confession of Sin

Make your commandments the joy of our hearts. Conform us to the image of your Son, that we may shine before the world to your glory. Amen. 

Confession of Sin

Silent time for personal confession

How deep the Father’s love for us

How vast beyond all measure,

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure.

How Deep the Father’s Love for UsStuart Townsend

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away,

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory.

Behold the man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders;

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life –

I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,

No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom;

But I will boast in Jesus Christ,

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer,

But this I know with all my heart,

His wounds have paid my ransom.

(repeat)

Scripture ReadingMatthew 9:9-13

9 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.10 And as Jesus reclined at table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were reclining with Jesus and his disciples.

Scripture Reading11 And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” 12 But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. 13 Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”

“And he said to them, “Let us go on to the next towns, that I may preach there also, for that is why I came out.” Mark 1:38
