Order of Worship

Psalm 104:1-2; 10-13O Lord My God, You Are Very Great

Bless the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great! You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment, stretching out the heavens like a tent.

May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works, who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke! I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being.

Daniel 7:9“As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.”

Fighter Verse for the Week of September 6

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.– Matthew 5:3-6

Sermon:“Glimpse of Glory”

Matthew 17:1-13

Jesus leads us to a revelatory zenith. Here, increasing illumination reach-es a stunning summit—Jesus’ transfiguration. Divine self-disclosure has dominated the last few scenes. Jesus is the divine Christ. But even the most enlightened disciples cannot penetrate the ominous mystery of the cross. Their understanding remains darkly clouded. Because they think they know His person they cannot comprehend His plan. They have no category for a crucified Christ. So, He swiftly grants them the promised sight of His kingdom glory coming in its first installment. A clarion of divine confirmation rings loudly. And a terrifying testimony it is. Here no mortal confesses Jesus as the Christ. Nothing less than the audible voice of God the Father thunders from heaven following the lightening of the self-radiant glory of God the Son. It stands as a gateway to the most crucial phase of redemptive history. Here the old and new covenants converge to touch the deity of Christ and the heart of the gospel. The glory of both the cross and crown are perceived together. Rich in the as-surance of realities past, present, and future, a glimpse of Christ’s divine glory shines like the sun.

Come, Thou Almighty KingCome, Thou Almighty King,Help us Thy name to sing;Help us to praise:Father, all glorious,O’er all victorious,Come, and reign over us,Ancient of Days.

Come, Thou incarnate Word,Gird on Thy mighty sword;Our prayer attend!Come, and Thy people bless,And give Thy word success:Spirit of holiness,On us descend.

Come, Holy Comforter,Thy sacred witness bearIn this glad hour!Thou, who Almighty art,Now rule in every heartAnd ne’er from us depart,Spirit of power.

To Thee, great One in Three,Eternal praises be,Hence evermore;Thy sovereign majestyMay we in glory see,And to eternity Love and adore.

Ancient of DaysThough the nations rageKingdoms rise and fallThere is still one KingReigning over allSo I will not fear for this truth remains:That my God is the Ancient of Days

(Chorus)None above Him, none before HimAll of time in His handsFor His throne it shall remain and ever standAll the power, all the gloryI will trust in His nameFor my God is the Ancient of Days

Though the dread of nightOverwhelms my soulHe is here with meI am not aloneO His love is sure and He knows my nameFor my God is the Ancient of Days(Repeat Chorus)

Though I may not seeWhat the future bringsI will watch and waitFor the Savior KingThen my joy complete standing face to faceIn the presence of the Ancient of Days

Here Is LoveHere is love, vast as the ocean,Loving-kindness as a flood.When the Prince of Life, our ransom,Shed for us His precious blood.Who His love will not remember?Who can cease to sing His praise?He can never be forgottenThroughout heavn’s eternal days.

On the Mount of Crucifixion,Fountains opened deep and wide.Through the floodgates of God’s mercyFlowed a vast and gracious tide.Grace and love like mighty riversPoured incessant from above;Heaven’s peace and perfect justiceKissed a guilty world in love.

Here is love, that conquered evil:Christ, the firstborn from the grave;Death has failed to be found equalTo the life of Him Who savesIn the valley of our darknessDawned His everlasting light;Perfect love in glorious radianceHas repelled death’s hellish night.

Grace AloneI was an orphan, lost at the fall;Running away when I’d hear You call,But Father, You worked Your will.I had no righteousness of my own;I had no right to draw near Your throne,But Father, You loved me still.

And in love, before You laidthe world’s foundation,You predestined to adopt me as Your own.You have raised me up so high above my station;I’m a child of God by grace, and grace alone.

You left Your home to seek out the lost;You knew the great and terrible costBut Jesus, Your face was set.I worked my fingers down to the bone;But nothing I did could ever atone,But Jesus, You paid my debt.

By Your blood I have redemption and salvation.Lord You died that I might reapwhat You have sown,And you rose that I might be a new creation.I am born again by grace, and grace alone.

I was in darkness all of my life,I never knew the day from the night,But Spirit, You made me see.I swore I knew the way on my own;Head full of rocks, a heart made of stoneBut Spirit, You moved in me.

And at Your touchmy sleeping spirit was awakened;On my darkened heartthe light of Christ has shone.Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken;Heaven’s citizen by grace, and grace alone.

So I’ll stand in faith by grace, and grace aloneI will run the race by grace, and grace aloneI will slay my sin by grace, and grace aloneI will reach the end by grace, and grace alone

That same love beyond all measure,Mocked and slain by hateful men,Lives and reigns in resurrectionAnd can never die again.Here is love for all the ages,Radiant Sun of Heav’n He stands,Calling home His Father’s children,Holding forth His wounded hands.

Here is love, vast as the heavens;Countless as the stars aboveAre the souls that He has ransomed,Precious daughters, treasured sons.We are called to feast foreverOn a love beyond our time;Glorious Father, Son and SpiritNow with man are intertwined.

Crown Him with Many CrownsCrown Him with many crowns,The Lamb upon His throne:Hark! how the heavenly anthem drownsAll music but its own:Awake, my soul, and singOf Him who died for thee,And hail Him as thy matchless KingThrough all eternity.

Crown Him the Son of God,Before the worlds began,And ye who tread where He hath trod,Crown Him the Son of Man;Who every grief hath knownThat wrings the human breast,And takes and bears them for His own,That all in Him may rest.

Crown Him the Lord of love,Behold His hands and side,Rich wounds, yet visible above,In beauty glorified.No angel in the skyCan fully bear that sight,But downward bends His wondering eyeAt mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of life,Who triumphed o’er the grave,And rose victorious in the strifeFor those He came to save.His glories now we sing,Who died, and rose on high,Who died eternal life to bring,And lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of lords,Who over all doth reign,Who once on earth, the incarnate Word,For ransomed sinners slain,Now lives in realms of light,Where saints with angels singTheir songs before Him day and night,Their God, Redeemer, King.

and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,

– Hebrews 1:3

Shepherd’s Reading:And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James, and John his brother, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elijah, talking with him. And Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good that we are here. If you wish, I will make three tents here, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.” He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” When the disciples heard this, they fell on their faces and were terrified. But Jesus came and touched them, saying, “Rise, and have no fear.” And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only.

And as they were coming down the mountain, Jesus commanded them, “Tell no one the vision, until the Son of Man is raised from the dead.” And the disciples asked him, “Then why do the scribes say that first Elijah must come?” He answered, “Elijah does come, and he will restore all things. But I tell you that Elijah has already come, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they pleased. So also the Son of Man will certainly suffer at their hands.” Then the disciples understood that he was speaking to them of John the Baptist. – Matthew 17:1-13

“The Father has eternally known and loved his great Son, and through the Spirit he opens our eyes that we too might know him, and so he wins our hearts that we too might love him. Our love for the Son, then, is an echo and an extension of the Father’s eternal love. In other words, through the Spirit the Father allows us to share in the enjoyment of what most delights him—his Son. It was his overwhelming love for the Son that inspired him to create us in the first place, and all so that we might share in that highest pleasure of his.”
