GATHERING Prelude Welcome and Call To Worship O God Our Help In Ages Past Forever Prayer of Confession Good News and Passing of Peace Rising Sun This I Believe Doxology Prayer for the Children
O God our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal home: Under the shadow of Thy throne Thy saints have dwelt secure; Sufficient is Thine arm alone, And our defence is sure.
WORD Responsive Scripture Reading (Psalm 119:137-140, 142-144) You are righteous, O Lord, and your judgments are right. You have appointed your decrees in righteousness and in all faithfulness. My zeal consumes me because my foes forget your words. Your promise is well tried, and your servant loves it.
Before the hills in order stood, Or earth received her frame, From everlasting Thou art God, To endless years the same. O God, our help in ages past, Our hope for years to come, Be Thou our guide while life shall last, And our eternal home.
Chorus Forever God is faithful, Forever God is strong Forever God is with us, Forever, forever With a mighty hand And an outstretched arm His love endures forever For the life that's been reborn His love endures forever Sing praise, sing praise Sing praise, sing praise
Scripture – Genesis 12:1-4; Hebrews 12:1-3 Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and your law is the truth. Trouble and anguish have come upon me, but your commandments are my delight. Your decrees are righteous forever; give me understanding that I may live. This is the Word of the Lord Thanks be to God Sermon – “Faithfulness – Learning To Fly” – Jon Nip Trust You TABLE / RESPONSE Offering Ministry Update Prayer of Intercession

(Fielding/Crocker)
By faith we see the hand of God In the light of creation's grand design In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness Who walk by faith and not by sight
Our Father, everlasting The all creating One God Almighty Through Your Holy Spirit Conceiving Christ the Son Jesus our Saviour I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is tree in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus Our judge and our defender Suffered and crucified Forgiveness is in You Descended into darkness You rose in glorious light Forever seated high I believe in God our Father I believe in Christ the Son I believe in the Holy Spirit Our God is three in one I believe in the resurrection That we will rise again For I believe in the name of Jesus
Chorus Trust You Jesus, Trust You Jesus Trust You with my life (REPEAT) You hold the world in Your hands God of mercy and might Knew me before I was born Called me by name How could I ever respond But to fall and adore I live to know You more Lord I will ever
By faith our fathers roamed the earth With the power of His promise in their hearts Of a holy city built by God's own hand A place where peace and justice reign We will stand as children of the promise We will fix our eyes on Him our soul's reward Till the race is finished and the work is done We'll walk by faith and not by sight By faith the prophets saw a day When the longed-for Messiah would appear With the power to break the chains of sin and death And rise triumphant from the grave By faith the church was called to go In the power of the Spirit to the lost To deliver captives and to preach good news In every corner of the earth By faith this mountain shall be moved And the power of the gospel shall prevail For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name
Bridge Let not the wise trust in their wisdom Let not the strong boast in their might Let not the rich glory in riches I will trust You Let not the wise trust in their wisdom Let not the strong boast in their might Let not the rich glory in riches I will ever
