Call To Worship

Arise, my soul, my joyful powers
And triumph in thy God
Awake, my voice, and loud proclaim
His glorious grace abroad.

He raised me from the depths of sin
The gates of gasping hell
And fixed my standing more secure
Than ‘twas before I fell.

The arms of everlasting love
Beneath my soul He placed
And on the Rock of Ages set
My slippery footsteps fast.

Arise, my soul! Away my voice
And tunes of pleasure sing
Loud hallelujahs shall address
My Saviour and my King.

(Tune: "O For A Thousand Tongues")________________________________________

"Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins."
- Proverb 10:12

"Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lusts of the flesh" (Gal. 15:16). As long as we are in the flesh, the lusts, the cravings, and the desires of fallen nature are with us. "When I would do good, evil is present with me" (Rom 7:21). Walking in the Spirit does not imply the absence of the lusts of the flesh. But walking in the Spirit does prevent them from being fulfilled. What is walking in the Spirit? Faith in Christ. Not being under law, but under grace. In looking to Christ, we will not fulfill the desires of our carnal nature. It is only by being under law that we will fulfill the lusts of the flesh. It is only the person who is not under law but under grace who is promised that "sin shall not have dominion over you" (Rom 6:14).

WHAT IS IT TO PREACH THE GOSPEL?
Psalm 130:5-6
Pastor Tom Harding

The Apostle Paul said, "Though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of" (I Cor. 9:16). What is it to preach the gospel? Is everybody preaching the gospel? Regrettably no! It would be great if all the churches everywhere did preach the gospel, but this certainly is not the case. Preaching the gospel involves telling the truth as it is revealed in the Holy Scriptures. Telling the truth about God, man, Jesus Christ, and salvation; lets take a closer look at those four things.
1. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT GOD!
God is not who we think He is, He is who He is as revealed in the scriptures. All men by nature have an incorrect and false notion about the true and living God. The God that is revealed in scripture is absolutely HOLY. "Who shall not fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? For thou only art holy" (Rev. 15.4). God is also sovereign in all things (Psalm 135.6). Divine sovereignty simply means that God is God, beside Him there is none else. God is also immutable in all His attributes and actions (Mal. 3: 6). All that He is today, He has been, and ever will be (Heb. 13: 8). He is the eternal I AM (John 8: 24).
2. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT MAN!
Men don't like to hear the truth about God nor about themselves. But we must be faithful to God and His word. Man is the exact opposite of everything that God is. He is holy, we are unholy. He is omnipotent, we are impotent and frail. He is unchanging, we change all the time. The truth is, man is fallen, totally depraved, sinful in all thoughts, actions, and dead in sin (Rom. 3:9-19).
3. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT JESUS CHRIST!
Who is Jesus Christ? Fully and totally almighty God, and fully and totally a real man (I Tim 3:16). What did He accomplish? He is the God-Man Mediator sent of God to effectually and eternally redeem His people from all their sin (Heb. 9.12, Matt. 1:2 1). He did not fail to secure the eternal salvation of His blood-bought people (Isa. 42:4; John 19:30).
4. TELLING THE TRUTH ABOUT SALVATION!
Every aspect of salvation from the beginning in election (I Thes. 2:13); to the end in glorification (Rom. 8.30), is of the Lord.

Salvation is all of grace not of works (Eph. 2:8-9)!
