Psalm 19:1-4,

The heavens are telling the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out through all the earth and their words to the end of the world.”

Songs:

King of Love

verse 1

The King of Love my Shepherd is

Whose goodness faileth never

I nothing lack if I am His

And He is mine forever

Verse 2

Where streams of living water flow

My ransomed soul He leadeth

And where the verdant pastures grow

With food celestial feedeth

Chorus 1

Never failing Ruler of my heart

Everlasting Lover of my soul

On the mountain high or in the valley low

The King of Love my Shepherd is

Verse 3

Lost and foolish off I strayed

But yet in love He sought me

And on His shoulder gently laid

And home rejoicing brought me

Verse 4

In death's dark veil I fear no ill

With Thee dear Lord beside me

Thy rod and staff my comfort still

Thy cross before to guide me

Misc 1

(Bridge)

Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah

Verse 5

And so through all the length of days

Thy goodness faileth never

Good Shepherd may I sing Your praise

Within Your house forever

Chorus 1b

Every giant will fall the mountains will move

Every chain of the past you’ve broken in two

Over fear over lies we’re singing the truth

That nothing is impossible with you!

The Lord is Gracious

And compassionate

Slow to anger and quick to love (repeat)

And the Lord is good to all

And he has compassion

On all that he has made

As far as the east is from the west

that’s how far he has removed our

transgressions from us

Praise the Lord, Oh my soul, praise the Lord

Open the Eyes of My Heart Lord

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You

To see You high and lifted up
Shinin' in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord
Open the eyes of my heart
I want to see You
I want to see You

To see You high and lifted up
Shinin' in the light of Your glory
Pour out Your power and love
As we sing holy, holy, holy

Holy, holy, holy
We cry holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to see you

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
You are holy, holy, holy
I want to see you

Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy
I want to see you

No Sacrifice

To You I live my life

Not just the parts I want to

To you I sacrifice

These dreams that I hold onto

Chorus

Your thoughts are higher than mine

your words are deeper than mine

your love is stronger than mine

this is no sacrifice, here’s my life

vs. 2

To you I give the gifts

your love has given me

how can I hoard the treasures

that you designed for free?

Chorus

Your thoughts are higher than mine

your words are deeper than mine

your love is stronger than mine

this is no sacrifice, here’s my life

vs. 3

To you I give my future

as long as it may last

to you I give my present

to you I give my past

Chorus

Your thoughts are higher than mine

your words are deeper than mine

your love is stronger than mine

this is no sacrifice, here’s my life

Teaching:

Exodus 31:1-10

“Then the Lord said to Moses, 2 “See, I have chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 4 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 5 to cut and set stones, to work in wood, and to engage in all kinds of crafts.6 Moreover, I have appointed Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, to help him. Also I have given ability to all the skilled workers to make everything I have commanded you: 7 the tent of meeting, the ark of the covenant law with the atonement cover on it, and all the other furnishings of the tent— 8 the table and its articles, the pure gold lampstand and all its accessories, the altar of incense, 9 the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils, the basin with its stand— 10 and also the woven garments, both the sacred garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons when they serve as priests, 11 and the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them just as I commanded you.”

Exodus 35:30-35 30

“Then Moses said to the Israelites, “See, the Lord has chosen Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, 31 and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills— 32 to make artistic designs for work in gold, silver and bronze, 33 to cut and set stones, to work in wood and to engage in all kinds of artistic crafts. 34 And he has given both him and Oholiab son of Ahisamak, of the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others. 35 He has filled them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple and scarlet yarn and fine linen, and weavers—all of them skilled workers and designers.”

The Story

All of these lines across my face
Tell you the story of who I am
So many stories of where I've been
And how I got to where I am

[Chorus]
But these stories don't mean anything
When you've got no one to tell them to, it's true
I was made for you

[Verse 2]
I climbed across the mountaintops
Swam all across the ocean blue
I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules
But baby, I broke them all for you

[Chorus]
Oh, because even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks, you do
I was made for you

[Verse 3]
You see the smile that's on my mouth
It's hiding the words that don't come out
And all of our friends who think that I'm blessed
They don't know my head is a mess

Communion:

Head up to the front to take communion.
Once you take communion head back to your seat and reflect and pray over the following questions:
- What story is God wanting to tell through you?
- What creative artistic mediums do you have to tell great stories?
- What would it look like to use your artistic gifting to tell God’s story?

Benediction:

Move among us, Spirit,
and gather us together with you.
Take our many selves—
our lives, our loves, our ideas,
our questions, our speech, our silence—
and unite us as your people.
Give us the gifts of presence, transformation and guidance,
so that even as we dream your dreams and see your visions,
we may be able to witness to your presence
in our common life.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.—(2 Corinthians 13:14)

Amen.
