Call to Worship Psalm 8:1-9 TE Arch Van Devender

Invocation

*Gathering Hymn Great Is the LORD Our God #48A Verses 1, 4, 5, 6 Great is the LORD our God, and greatly to be praised. Upon a hill God’s city stands in glorious beauty raised— his holy mountain high, Mount Zion in the north, the city of the mighty King, the joy of all the earth.

Within your temple, LORD, in that most holy place, we on your loving-kindness dwell, the wonders of your grace. Your people sing your praise where’er your name is known; by ev’ry deed your hand has done your righteousness is shown.

Let Zion now rejoice and all her daughters sing; let them with thankfulness proclaim the judgments of their King. Mount Zion’s walls behold, about her ramparts go, and number all the lofty tow’rs that guard her from the foe.

Observe her palaces, mark her defenses well, that to the children after you, her glories you may tell. For God, as our own God, forever will abide, and till life’s journey close in death will be our faithful guide.

Confession of Faith The Apostle’s Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth I believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord, Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Confession of Sin

Lord and God, you know what we are about to say in prayer, you know what we ought to say, and even what we need to say but cannot. Our sins trouble us, though they don’t trouble us as much as they should, for, in the final scrutiny of our thoughts and deeds, it is against you and you only that we have sinned. Forgive us for the wrongs we have done and the right things we have left undone; forgive us because we are often so nonchalant when we enter your presence in prayer and worship, thinking that we deserve to be here and have earned your grace. Remind us in our thoughtlessness that the forgiving grace you offer cost our Savior Christ the suffering of hatred and death. But you, God, had a plan we never would have thought of: you raised Jesus from the dead, and now the Lord Jesus Christ sits at your right hand interceding for us. It is that intercession that we need to infiltrate the words and thoughts of our prayer and bring unmerited grace and joyful peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Silent Confession

Words of Assurance Psalm 103:1-5

Prayer of Thanksgiving

2 *Hymn of Praise O Come to the Altar Praise Team Chris Brown/Mack Brock/Wade Joye

Are you hurting and broken within? Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin? Jesus is calling Have you come to the end of yourself? Do you thirst for a drink from the well? Jesus is calling

Chorus O come to the altar The Father's arms are open wide Forgiveness was bought with The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes Come today, there's no reason to wait Jesus is calling Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy From the ashes, a new life is born Jesus is calling (chorus)

Oh, what a Savior Isn't He wonderful? Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen Bow down before Him For He is Lord of all Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen (repeat) (to chorus-2nd time)

Bear your cross as you wait for a crown Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found

Supporting Scripture Reading Ezekiel 1:22-28 Dave Tracht

3 Hymn of Praise It is Well Praise Team Horatio Spafford

When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Chorus It is well with my soul, It is well, it is well with my soul.

Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. (chorus)

My sin—oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!— My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! (chorus)

And Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. (chorus)

4 *Reading of Scripture Revelation 4:1-11 TE Arch Van Devender

After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” 2 Immediately I was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne set in heaven, and One sat on the throne. 3 And He who sat there was like a jasper and a sardius stone in appearance; and there was a rainbow around the throne, in appearance like an emerald. 4 Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and on the thrones I saw twenty-four elders sitting, clothed in white robes; and they had crowns of gold on their heads. 5 And from the throne proceeded lightnings, thunderings, and voices. Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God. 6 Before the throne there was a sea of glass, like crystal. And in the midst of the throne, and around the throne, were four living creatures full of eyes in front and in back. 7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second living creature like a calf, the third living creature had a face like a man, and the fourth living creature was like a flying eagle. 8 The four living creatures, each having six wings, were full of eyes around and within. And they do not rest day or night, saying: “Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Who was and is and is to come!” 9 Whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever, 10 the twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and worship Him who lives forever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying: 11 “You are worthy, O Lord, To receive glory and honor and power; For You created all things, And by Your will they exist and were created.”

We love to have children in the worship service. As parents train their children to worship God corporately, the nursery may be used, as needed, if you feel your child is becoming too restless and vocal.

Sermon “Come Up Here… and See!” Rev. Arch Van Devender

*Hymn of Invitation Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face #202

Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face; here would I touch and handle things unseen, here grasp with firmer hand th’eternal grace, and all my weariness upon thee lean.

5 Here would I feed upon the bread of God, here drink with thee the royal wine of heav’n; here would I lay aside each earthly load, here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv’n.

This is the hour of banquet and of song; this is the heav’nly table spread for me: here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong the brief, bright hour of fellowship with thee.

I have no help but thine, nor do I need another arm save thine to lean upon: it is enough, my Lord, enough indeed; my strength is in thy might, thy might alone.

Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness; mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood; here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace: thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord my God.

Service of Holy Communion TE Arch Van Devender

*Hymn of Response Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise #224

Immortal, invisible, God only wise, in light inaccessible hid from our eyes, most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days, almighty, victorious, thy great name we praise.

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light, nor wanting, nor wasting, thou rulest in might; thy justice like mountains high soaring above thy clouds which are fountains of goodness and love.

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, thine angels adore thee, all veiling their sight; all praise we would render; O help us to see ’tis only the splendor of light hideth thee!

*Benediction TE Arch Van Devender

*Hymn of Glory Doxology

Postlude

6 Sermon Notes

Fallen Condition Focus: A favorite weapon in Satan’s arsenal is that of “tunnel vision” which leads us to focus on the “stuff” in the “real” world in which we are immersed: challenges, desired outcomes, issues, frustrations, etc. When we fall into this trap, we lose sight of the very real spiritual dimension in which we also live. This brings about a kind of “flatness” to life that is devoid of “awe.”

Main Point of Sermon: Chapter 4 sets the tone for the whole message of the Revelation. In it we see our Holy, Holy, Holy God who is worthy to be praised by all His creatures. The “Sea of History” lies open at His feet such that He is acknowledged as the God of all time, the beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega. He is truly “Awesome” and our lives and our worship should reverence Him as such.

********

The Sacrament of the Lord’s Supper will be administered today. We are exhorted in Scripture to be reconciled one to another, in all humility, as we prepare to rejoice together in our reconciliation to the Father through Jesus Christ by one Spirit. Our Mercy Needs offering will be received today along with our general offering. Please designate your check accordingly. The offering this month will be sent to Mission to the World’s Compassion Ministry which enables MTW missionaries and national partners to respond quickly to emergency situations to meet physical needs and sharing the love of Christ. The first Sunday of the month is also a time when we collect nonperishable food items for the food pantry.

THANK YOU

Dear beloved Liberty Church Family,

Words cannot express our appreciation for the beautiful Farewell Celebration you gave us last Sunday. Your cards and testimonies of the Lord's faithfulness through our ministry at Liberty was encouraging and profoundly humbling and sweet.

We want to thank you for the lovely bouquet of flowers, gifts, cards, and for the beautiful Matthew Bird print which we will value in the years ahead. We also want to thank all those who made the celebration possible by their hard work and efforts in planning the luncheon and setting it up. It truly blessed us by giving us such a wonderful send-off.

Thank you so much for your love, fellowship and kindness which we treasure most of all. We will miss you and will be praying for you in the days ahead.

We also hope that you can come and visit us in Lancaster and please continue to pray for us as we look for a new home. Even though we are miles apart, our future hope and our hearts are knitted together in the fellowship we share in Christ!

Blessings and with much love,

Pastor Barry and Margaret
