The Hymn 170 "Fairest Lord Jesus"(v. 1-4) CRUSADER'S HYMN
1. Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, Son of God and Son of Man! Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor, thou my soul's glory, joy, and crown. 2. Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring: Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, who makes the woeful heart to sing. 3. Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight, and all the twinkling, starry host: Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer, than all the angels heav'n can boast. 4. Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations! Son of God and Son of Man! Glory and honor, praise, adoration, now and forever more be thine.

The Invocation

Affirmation of Faith The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary, He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell**. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

The Doxology
Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heav'nly host: praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Pastoral Prayer

The Public Reading of Scripture: Revelation 9:1-21

The Psalter Psalm 146 (v. 1-10) RIPLEY

1. Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah! O my soul, Jehovah praise!
2. I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days.
3. Put no confidence in princes, nor for help on man depend;
4. He shall die, to dust returning, and his purposes shall end.
5. Happy is the man that chooses Jacob's God to be his aid; He is blessed whose hope of blessing on the Lord his God is stayed.
6. He has made the earth and heaven, seas, and all that they contain; He will keep His truth forever,
7. Rights of those oppressed maintain. Food Jehovah gives the hungry, sight Jehovah gives the blind, freedom gives He to the pris'ner,
8. Cheer to those bowed down in mind. Well Jehovah loves the righteous
9. To the stranger is a stay, helps the fatherless and widow, but subverts the sinner's way.
Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah! O my soul, Jehovah praise! I will sing the glorious praises of my God through all my days.
10. Over all God reigns forever, through all ages He is King; unto Him, thy God, O Zion, joyful hallelujahs sing.


The Sermon "Lessons Learned from Panic"
Psalm 34
I Samuel 21:10-15

The Hymn 598 "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah" (v. 1-3) CWM RHONDDA
Guide me, O thou great Jehovah, pilgrim through this barren land; I am weak, but thou art mighty; hold me with thy pow'rful hand; Bread of heaven, Bread of heaven, feed me till I want no more, feed me till I want no more.2. Open now the crystal fountain, whence the healing stream doth flow; let the fire and cloudy pillar lead me all my journey through; strong Deliv'rer, strong Deliv'rer, be thou still my strength and shield, be thou still my strength and shield. 3. When I tread the verge of Jordan, bid my anxious fears subside; Death of death, and hell's Destruction, land me safe on Canaan's side; songs of praises, songs of praises I will ever give to thee, I will ever give to thee.

*Benediction
