Time of Reflection
“If lust and hate is the candy,
If blood and love tastes so sweet,
Then we give ‘em what they want.
So their eyes are growing hazy,
‘Cos they wanna turn it on,
So their minds are soft and lazy.
Well… who do you wanna blame?”
~10,000 Maniacs, “Candy Everybody Wants”
“Faith is a reasoning trust, a trust which reckons thoughtfully and confidently upon the trustworthiness of God.”
~John R. Stott (1921-2011), English minister and author
“The dominant characteristic of an authentic spiritual life is the gratitude that flows from trust – not only for all the gifts that I receive from God, but gratitude for all the suffering. Because in that purifying experience, suffering has often been the shortest path to intimacy with God.”
~Brennan Manning (1934-2013), American author and former priest
“Instead of interpreting God’s character in light of our circumstances, we must do the opposite and interpret our circumstances in light of God’s character.”
~ Erik Raymond, contemporary pastor and author
“Everybody I know says they need just one thing
And what they really mean is that they need just one thing more
And everybody seems to think they’ve got it coming
Well I know that I don’t deserve You
Still I want to love and serve You more and more
You’re my one thing.”
~ Rich Mullins, “One Thing”

Call to Worship
Isaiah 52:7-10 (ESV)
LEADER: How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of happiness, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, “Your God reigns.”
CONGREGATION: The voice of your watchmen—they lift up their voice; together they sing for joy; for eye to eye they see the return of the LORD to Zion.
LEADER: Break forth together into singing, you waste places of Jerusalem, for the LORD has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem.
ALL: The LORD has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Songs and Liturgy
(sing as a group and/or sing along to recorded versions)
COME PRAISE AND GLORIFY
(Bob Kauflin & Tim Chester)
Come praise and glorify our God,
The Father of our Lord.
In Christ He has in heav’nly realms,
His blessings on us poured.
For pure and blameless in His sight,
He destined us to be.
And now we’ve been adopted through,
His Son eternally.
CHORUS
To the praise of Your glory,
To the praise of Your mercy and grace,
To the praise of Your glory,
You are the God who saves.
Come praise and glorify our God,
Who gives His grace in Christ.
In Him our sins are washed away,
Redeemed through sacrifice.
In Him God has made known to us,
The myst’ry of His will.
That Christ should be the head of all,
His purpose to fulfill.
(CHORUS)
Come praise and glorify our God,
For we’ve believed the Word.
And through our faith we have a seal,
The Spirit of the Lord.
The Spirit guarantees our hope,
Until redemption’s done.
Until we join in endless praise,
To God the Three in One.
(CHORUS)

RESPONSIVE READING – Adapted from 1 Peter 1
LEADER: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!
CONGREGATION: According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us, who by God’s power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
LEADER: In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
ALL: Though we have not seen him, we love him. Though we do not now see him, we believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of our faith, the salvation of your souls.
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY
(Reginald Heber & John B. Dykes, 1861)
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, Holy, Holy! All the saints adore Thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,
Which wert and art and evermore shalt be.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Tho’ the darkness hide Thee,
Tho’ the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see;
Only Thou art holy– there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity.
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

Psalm 131 (ESV)
1 O Lord, my heart is not lifted up;
my eyes are not raised too high;
I do not occupy myself with things
too great and too marvelous for me.
2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,
like a weaned child with its mother;
like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
from this time forth and forevermore.
Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism (1563) Lord’s Day 1
LEADER: What is your only comfort, in life and in death?
CONGREGATION: That I belong—body and soul, in life and in death—not to myself but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who at the cost of his own blood has fully paid for all my sins and has completely freed me from the dominion of the devil; that he protects me so well that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that everything must fit his purpose for my salvation. Therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
Song of Response
THE WONDERFUL CROSS
(Chris Tomlin, Isaac Watts 1707, J.D. Watt, Jesse Reeves)
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.
(CHORUS)
Oh the wonderful cross,
Oh the wonderful cross,
Bids me come and die and find
That I may truly live.
Oh the wonderful cross,
Oh the wonderful cross,
All who gather here by grace
Draw near and bless Your name.
See from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?
(CHORUS)
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small;
Love so amazing so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.
(CHORUS)

Benediction
(The leader or individual should read this aloud relishing in the confident assertion that Christ has conquered.)
Luke 12:29-32
LEADER: Do not seek what you are to eat and what you are to drink, nor be worried. For all the nations of the world seek after these things, and your Father knows that you need them. Instead, seek his kingdom, and these things will be added to you. Fear not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
PEOPLE: Amen!
Worshipping God through Giving
God has called us to be generous. He has entrusted this earth and all that is in it to us, but it is, ultimately, His! The Father gave what was most precious to Him, His own Son, in order to die for our sins. He has given to us abundantly beyond all that we could possibly ask or imagine! He is a benevolent and generous Giver! So, we give.
First, we want to remind you to continue your regular giving to TQC. This supports the ongoing work and ministry here in the Upper Valley and around the world through our missions support. Second, please consider giving to our Benevolence Fund, which supports local community care, both inside and outside the church. This is vitally important right now! As we see needs sprouting up around the community, we want to be positioned to extend a loving hand of support to those in need.
