Call to Worship
"Chosen, Redeemed, Sought Out I Am" by Don Fortner
Chosen, redeemed, sought out I am,
And saved by sovereign grace,
In Christ complete, I lift my voice,
The triune God to praise!
My Father chose me by His grace
Before He made the world,
Adopted and predestined me
To be His holy child.
Christ Jesus shed His precious blood
Upon the cursed tree;
My Substitute has satisfied
The law of God for me.
The Spirit, by almighty grace,
Awakened me from death,
Revealing Christ, He brought me life
And gave this sinner faith.
Chosen, redeemed, sought out I am,
And saved by sovereign grace,
In Christ complete, I lift my voice
The triune God to praise!
(Tune: Must Jesus Bear The Cross Alone?)

He Lowers to Raise
Charles Spurgeon
"Thy LORD maketh poor, and maketh rich: He bringeth low, and lifteth up." (1 Samuel 2:7)
All my changes come from Him who never changes. If I had grown rich, I should have seen His hand in it, and I should have praised Him; let me equally see His hand if I am made poor, and let me as heartily praise Him. When we go down in the world, it is of the LORD, and so we may take it patiently: when we rise in the world, it is of the LORD, and we may accept it thankfully. In any case, the LORD hath done it, and it is well.
It seems that Jehovah's way is to lower those whom He means to raise and to strip those whom He intends to clothe. If it is His way, it is the wisest and best way. If I am now enduring the bringing low, I may well rejoice, because I see in it the preface to the lifting up. The more we are humbled by grace, the more we shall be exalted in glory. That impoverishment which will be overruled for our enrichment is to be welcomed.
O LORD, Thou has taken me down of late and made me feel my insignificance and sin. It is not a pleasant experience, but I pray Thee make it a profitable one to me. Oh, that Thou wouldst thus fit me to bear a greater weight of delight and of usefulness; and when I am ready for it, then grant it to me, for Christ's sake! Amen.
Two Blessed Ordinances
Don Fortner
The Lord Jesus has given his church two blessed, highly symbolic, perpetual ordinances that are to be observed by every believer until he comes. By believer's immersion (baptism), the heaven born soul confesses Christ and identifies himself with his people. By the observance of the Lord's Supper, eating the bread and drinking the wine, holding communion with him and one another, we remember Christ. In both, we show forth the Lord's death and our confident faith in its efficacy to the saving of our souls.
