The Free Gift that Costs Everything (Pt 6)

Jesus deals with the Rich Young Ruler. Here, we consider this man's superficial inquiry about salvation and his flawed ideas about his own "goodness" and the requirements of God's Law.

My Life Is An Offering

Verse 1
This life is an altar
Where I want to offer
My soul and my mind and strength
Cleansed by Your mercy to live a life worthy
Of the One Who called my name
Chorus
Jesus be glorified
Jesus be magnified
Let me be a pleasing sacrifice
Jesus be glorified
Jesus be magnified
Here at the altar
My life is an offering
Verse 2
How could I not love You
You authored my rescue
Raised me up from death to life
Your Spirit is in me revealing Your glory
Oh what joy as I give my life
Bridge
I choose to lose my life Lord
And find it in You
I choose to lose my life Lord
And find it in You

The Lord is My Salvation

Verse 1
The grace of God has reached for me
And pulled me from the raging sea
And I am safe on this solid ground
The Lord is my salvation
Verse 2
I will not fear when darkness falls
His strength will help me scale these walls
I’ll see the dawn of the rising sun
The Lord is my salvation
Chorus
Who is like the Lord our God
Strong to save faithful in love
My debt is paid and the victory won
The Lord is my salvation
Verse 3
My hope is hidden in the Lord
He flow’rs each promise of His Word
When winter fades I know spring will come
The Lord is my salvation
Verse 4
In times of waiting times of need
When I know loss when I am weak
I know His grace will renew these days
The Lord is my salvation
Verse 5
And when I reach the final day
He will not leave me in the grave
But I will rise He will call me home
The Lord is my salvation
Bridge
Glory be to God the Father
Glory be to God the Son
Glory be to God the Spirit
The Lord is our salvation
Ending
The Lord is our salvation
The Lord is our salvation

Pastoral Reading

Psalm 104:31-35

May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
    may the Lord rejoice in his works,
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
    who touches the mountains and they smoke!
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
    I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
    for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
    and let the wicked be no more!
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
Praise the Lord!

Opening Hymn

Round the Throne in Radiant Glory (CRC #6)

‘Round the throne in radiant glory
all creation loudly sings
praise to God, to God almighty
day and night the anthem rings.

Holy, holy, holy, holy
is our God, the King of Kings

God alone is worthy, worthy
maker of the earth and sky;
glory, honor, power, blessing
be to him who reigns on high:

Holy, holy, holy, holy,
is Jehovah, Adonai

Christ, the Lamb, is worthy, worthy
let the anthem loudly swell
Jesus died for sin on Calv’ry,
rescued us from death and hell:

Holy, holy, holy, holy
is our God, Immanuel

All creation joins in praising Christ
the Savior of our race,
drawn from every tribe and nation,
people, language, time and place:

Holy, holy, holy, holy
is our God, the God of grace.

Praises be to God the Father
and to Jesus Christ, the Lamb;
glory, honor, power, blessing
songs of angels, joined by man:

Holy, holy, holy, holy
is our God, the great ‘I AM.’

Hymn

Jesus My Great High Priest (TH #306)

1 Jesus, my great High Priest,
offered his blood and died;
my guilty conscience seeks
no sacrifice beside.
His pow’rful blood did once atone,
and now it pleads before the throne.

2 To this dear Surety’s hand
will I commit my cause;
he answers and fulfills
his Father’s broken laws.
Behold my soul at freedom set,
my Surety paid the dreadful debt

3 My Advocate appears
for my defense on high;
the Father bows his ears
and lays his thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say
shall turn his heart, his love, away.

4 Should all the hosts of death
and pow’rs of hell unknown
put their most dreadful forms
of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
his conqu’ring pow’r and guardian grace.

Closing Hymn

Benediction (HMA #18)

May the peace of God, our heav’nly Father,
And the grace of Christ, the risen Son,
And the fellowship of God the Spirit
Keep our hearts and minds within His love.
And to Him be praise for His glorious reign;
From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain
Christ eternal, the King of Kings.
May this peace which passes understanding,
And this grace which makes us what we are,
And this fellowship of His communion,
Make us one in spirit and in heart.
And to Him be praise for His glorious reign;
From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain
Christ eternal, the King of Kings.
And to Him be praise for His glorious reign;
From the depths of earth to the heights of heaven
We declare the name of the Lamb once slain
Christ eternal, the King of Kings.
Christ eternal, the King of Kings.
