Living Water

Dry bones right now
Breathe in, breathe out
No more drinking the dirt I’m thirsty
Oh sprit of resurrection
Flowing through me
You’ve made me a new creation how can it be

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

One life soon past
Only what’s done for You will last
So break down this dry ground
Spring a well from the inside out

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Holy spirit
Holy presence
You have changed the atmosphere here in my chest
Holy well spring
What’s in store
I am longing for more

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Living water deep within me
Saturate my soul
Like a river break the levee
Let it overflow
I could never have to much of your love
Your love
Living water deep with me
Saturate my soul
Oh

Saturate my soul

Firm Foundation”

Christ is my firm foundation
The rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaken
I’ve never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
‘Cause He’s never let me down
He’s faithful through generations
So why would He fail now
He won’t, He won’t

I’ve still got joy in chaos
I’ve got peace that makes no sense
So, I won’t be going under
I’m not held by my own strength
‘Cause I’ve built my life on Jesus
He’s never let me down
He’s faithful in every season
So why would He fail now

He won’t, He won’t
He won’t fail
He won’t fail
He won’t, no no no no
He won’t
He will not fail
He won’t fail

O-o-o-o-o-o-o

Rain came and wind blew
But my house was built on You
I’m safe with You
I’m going to make it through

O, rain came and wind blew
But my house was built on You
And I’m safe with You
I’m going to make it through

Yeah, I’m going to make it through
‘Cause I’m standing strong on You
Yeah, I’m going to make it through
‘Cause my house is built on You

He won’t, He won’t
He won’t fail, He won’t fail
He won’t, He won’t
He won’t fail, He won’t fail
No, He won’t

Dancing on the Waves

I’m standing at your door
My heart is calling yours
Come fall into my arms
You’re weary from it all
Been running for too long
I’m here to bring you home

I’m reaching out, I’ll chase you down
I dare you to believe how much I love you now
Don’t be afraid, I am your strength
We’ll be walking on the water, dancing on the waves

Look up and lift your eyes
The future’s open wide
I have great plans for you, oh, yes, I do
Your past is dead and gone
Your healing has begun
I’m making all things new, ohh

I’m reaching out, I’ll chase you down
I dare you to believe how much I love you now
Don’t be afraid, I am your strength
We’ll be walking on the water, dancing on the waves

I set every star into place
So you would remember my name
I made it all for you
You are my masterpiece
You are the reason I sing
This is my song for you

I’m reaching out, I’ll chase you down
Come on I dare you to believe how much I love you, oh, I love you
Don’t be afraid, know that I am your strength
We’ll be walking on the water, dancing on the waves
We’ll be walking on the water, dancing on the waves

*Call to Worship
One: When we think of God’s presence in the world, we are grateful:
All: Grateful for the presence of hope; grateful for the gift of life.
One: And when we think of God’s presence in our lives, we are humbled:
All: humbled by the gift of grace; humbled by the invitation to begin again.
One: And when we think of God’s presence in this community of faith, we are glad:
All: glad to be worshipping our Holy God, the source of goodness and love.
One: Let us give thanks to God!
All: We give our thanks and praise!

*Hymn 731: “Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken” (vv 1-3)
Glorious things of thee are spoken,
Zion, city of our God;
God, whose word cannot be broken,
formed thee for his own abode.
On the Rock of Ages founded,
what can shake thy sure repose?
With salvation’s walls surrounded,
thou mayst smile at all thy foes.

See, the streams of living waters,
springing from eternal love,
well supply thy sons and daughters,
and all fear of want remove.
Who can faint while such a river
ever will their thirst assuage?
Grace which like the Lord, the giver,
never fails from age to age.

Round each habitation hovering,
see the cloud and fire appear
for a glory and a covering,
showing that the Lord is near!
Thus deriving from our banner
light by night and shade by day,
safe we feed upon the manna
which God gives us when we pray.

*Affirmation of Faith 883
We are not alone, we live in God’s world.
We believe in God:
who has created and is creating,
who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,
to reconcile and make new,
who works in us and others by the Spirit.
We trust in God.
We are called to be the church:
to celebrate God’s presence,
to love and serve others,
to seek justice and resist evil,
to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,
our judge and our hope.
In life, in death, in life beyond death,
God is with us.
We are not alone.
Thanks be to God. Amen.

*Gloria Patri 70
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Amen.

**Please be seated

Anthem: “The Disciples’ Lament”
D. Grant, composer
Crossroad Singers

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 10:1-13
God speaks to us through the reading of scripture.
Thanks be to God.

*Hymn 396: “O Jesus, I Have Promised” (vv 1, 2, 4)
O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.

O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.

O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.

Sermon: “Pride and Humility”
Dr. Tim Bruster, Co-Senior Pastor
