WELCOME AND OPENING PRAYER

CALL TO WORSHIP - JOHN 10:11-15

All: I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. He who is a hired hand and not a shepherd, who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters them. He flees because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep. I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me, just as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep.

SONGS OF PRAISE

O Love That Wilt Not Let Me Go

1. O love that wilt not let me go I rest my weary soul in Thee I give Thee back the life I owe That in Thine ocean depths its flow May richer fuller be

2. O light that follow'st all my way I yield my flickering torch to Thee My heart restores its borrowed ray That in Thy sunshine's blaze its day My brighter fairer be

3. O Joy that seekest me through pain I cannot close my heart to Thee I trace the rainbow through the rain And feel the promise is not vain That morn shall tearless be

4. O cross that liftest up my head I dare not ask to fly from thee I lay in dust life's glory dead And from the ground there blossoms red Life that shall endless be

CLOSING SONG Living Hope 1. How great the chasm that lay between us How high the mountain I could not climb In desperation I turned to heaven And spoke Your name into the night Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness Tore through the shadows of my soul The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope

2. Who could imagine so great a mercy What heart could fathom such boundless grace The God of ages stepped down from glory To wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken I am forgiven The King of kings calls me His own Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever Jesus Christ my living hope

Chorus Hallelujah praise the One who set me free Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me You have broken every chain There’s salvation in Your name Jesus Christ my living hope

3. Then came the morning that sealed the promise Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence the Roaring Lion Declared the grave has no claim on me. (REPEAT) Jesus Yours is the victory

Jesus Christ my living hope Oh God You are my living hope

BENEDICTION - HEBREWS 13:20-21Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.

Benediction - God always gets the last word in our worship. This is not a prayer asking for God to do something, but rather a declaration of what He will do!

CONFESSION OF SIN [From 'Streams of Mercy' by Barbara Duguid]

All: Jesus, you are both the sinless Lamb of God and the Great Shepherd who gave his life for us. Thank you for following your Father and for never straying off the path of obedience. Thank you for paying for our sin and for giving us your perfect goodness as a free gift. Thank you for walking through the valley of death's shadow for us and for promising to walk through it with us when you lead us there. Thank you for your promise to lead us safely home.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON - JOHN 10:11, 27-28

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT: PSALM 23

A Psalm Of David.

1   The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. 3 He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4  Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

5  You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. 6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
