LISTEN TO MUSIC FOR THIS SUNDAY

SONGS
Good to Me
Audrey Assad

I put all my hope on the truth of Your promise
And I steady my heart on the ground of Your goodness
When I’m bowed down with sorrow I will lift up Your name
And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy

Because You are good to me, good to me
You are good to me, good to me
You are good to me

And I lift my eyes to the hills where my help is found
And Your voice fills the night, raise my head up and hear the sound
Though fires burn all around me I will praise You, my God
And the foxes in the vineyard will not steal my joy

Your goodness and mercy shall follow me all my life
I trust in Your promise

CALL TO WORSHIP

Psalm 33:3-22 (NLT)
Sing a new song of praise to him; play skillfully on the harp, and sing with joy. 
For the word of the Lord holds true, and we can trust everything he does. He loves whatever is just and good; the unfailing love of the Lord fills the earth.
The Lord looks down from heaven and sees the whole human race. From his throne he observes all who live on the earth. He made our hearts, so he understands everything they do.
We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone.
I Set My Hope on Jesus
Keith Getty, Matt Boswell, and Matt Papa

When this life of trials tests my faith, I set my hope on Jesus
When the questions come and doubts remain, I set my hope on Jesus
For the deepest wounds that time won’t heal
There’s a joy that runs still deeper
There’s a truth that’s more than all I feel,
I set my hope on Jesus

I set my hope on Jesus, my rock my only trust
Who set His heart upon me first, I set my hope on Jesus

Though I falter in this war with sin, I set my hope on Jesus
When I fail the fight and sink within, I set my hope on Jesus
Though the shame would drown me in its sea
And I dread the waves of justice
I will cast my life on Calvary, I set my hope on Jesus

Though the world calls me to leave my Lord, I set my hope on Jesus
Though it offers all its vain rewards, I set my hope on Jesus
Though this heart of mine is prone to stray, give me grace enough to finish
Till I worship on that final day, I set my hope on Jesus

He Will Hold Me Fast
Ada Ruth Habershon and Matthew Merker

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast
I could never keep my hold through life’s fearful path
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast

He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast
Precious in his holy sight, He will hold me fast
He’ll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight, when He comes at last

CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE

Isaiah 53:5 (NIV)
But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

SONG

Jesus Paid It All
Samuel W. Beazley and M. S. Schaffer

I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray, find in Me thine all in all”

Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow’r, and Thine alone
Can change the leper’s spots and melt the heart of stone

Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow

For nothing good have I whereby Thy grace to claim
I’ll wash my garments white in the blood of Calvary’s Lamb

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete
“Jesus died my soul to save” my lips shall still repeat

O praise the One who paid my debt and raised this life up from the dead

SERMON TEXT

Luke 11:37–54 (ESV)
While Jesus was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you. “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Woe to you Pharisees! For you love the best seat in the synagogues and greetings in the marketplaces. Woe to you! For you are like unmarked graves, and people walk over them without knowing it.” One of the lawyers answered him, “Teacher, in saying these things you insult us also.” And he said, “Woe to you lawyers also! For you load people with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers. Woe to you! For you build the tombs of the prophets whom your fathers killed. So you are witnesses and you consent to the deeds of your fathers, for they killed them, and you build their tombs. Therefore also the Wisdom of God said, ‘I will send them prophets and apostles, some of whom they will kill and persecute,’ so that the blood of all the prophets, shed from the foundation of the world, may be charged against this generation, from the blood of Abel to the blood of Zechariah, who perished between the altar and the sanctuary. Yes, I tell you, it will be required of this generation. Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.” As he went away from there, the scribes and the Pharisees began to press him hard and to provoke him to speak about many things, lying in wait for him, to catch him in something he might say.

SONGS

More of Thee
Russ Mohr

Come to the table, mercy to find
Taste of His goodness in the bread and the wine
His body was broken, the blood that was poured
Grace, like a scandal: His life for yours
His life for yours, His life for Yours

Lord, may we find more of Thee here
Morning by morning, grace to appear

Hear now, you sinners: come and be blessed
Feast on his riches, lay down the rest
Jesus is calling: all come and die
His invitation to give you new life
Give you new life, give you new life

Give us new life, give us new life
Give us new life, give us new life
Give us new life, give us new life
Give us new life, give us new life
Praise
Brandon Lake, Chandler Moore, Chris Brown, Cody Carnes, Pat Barrett, and Steven Furtick

I’ll praise in the valley, praise on the mountain
I’ll praise when I’m sure, praise when I’m doubting
I’ll praise when outnumbered, praise when surrounded
'Cause praise is the water my enemies drown in
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to

Praise the Lord, oh, my soul
Praise the Lord, oh, my soul

I’ll praise when I feel it, and I’ll praise when I don’t
I’ll praise 'cause I know You’re still in control
'Cause my praise is a weapon, it’s more than a sound
My praise is the shout that brings Jericho down
As long as I’m breathing, I’ve got a reason to

Praise the Lord, oh, my soul
Praise the Lord, oh, my soul
I won’t be quiet, my God is alive
How could I keep it inside?
Praise the Lord, oh, my soul

I’ll praise 'cause You’re sovereign, praise 'cause You reign
Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave
I’ll praise 'cause You’re faithful, praise 'cause You’re true
Praise 'cause there’s nobody greater than You

BENEDICTION

Psalm 66:1-5, 8 (NLT)
Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! Your enemies cringe before your mighty power.
