CALL TO WORSHIP
HYMN: O Worship the King, All Glorious Above [Lyons]
PRAYER
INTROIT: Our Eternal Home by Joel Raney
O God, our help in ages past, and our hope for years to come. Our shelter from the stormy blast, and our eternal home. Beneath the shadow of thy throne, thy saints have dwelt secure; sufficient is thine arm alone, and our defense is sure. Guide our feet, Lord! Order our steps in your Word; join our hearts, Lord, and make us one. O God, our help in ages past and our eternal home. Before the hills in order stood, before the earth received her frame. From everlasting, thou art God! From endless years the same. O God, our help, O God, our hope and our eternal home. [Isaac Watts]
PRAYER
SCRIPTURE LESSON: Psalm 46
HYMN: God Is Our Refuge and Our Strength (Psalm 46) [Winchester Old]
SERMON: “Courage at the Edge of the Cliff”
ANTHEM: Refuge and Strength by Mark Hayes
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear. Though the earth should change, though the earth should crumble into the sea, let the oceans roar and foam. Let the mountains tremble as the waters surge! There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy dwelling of the Most High. God is in the midst of the city. It shall not be moved. God will help when the morning dawns. The nations are in an uproar. The kingdoms of men have tottered. God thunders, the earth melts. The God of hosts is with us. The God of Jacob is our fortress. [based on Psalm 46:1-7]
PRAYER
