Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created. Rev. 4: 11
CPWI 424 Lead Us, Heavenly Father…
1 Lead us, heavenly Father, lead us
o’er the world’s tempestuous sea;
guard us, guide us, keep us, feed us,
for we have no help but thee;
yet possessing every blessing,
if our God our Father be.
2 Saviour, breathe forgiveness o’er us:
all our weakness thou dost know;
thou didst tread this earth before us, thou didst feel its keenest woe;
lone and dreary, faint and weary,
through the desert thou didst go.
3 Spirit of our God, descending,
fill our hearts with heavenly joy,
love with every passion blending,
pleasure that can never cloy:
thus provided, pardoned, guided,
nothing can our peace destroy.
Blessed be the Lord our God
By whose grace we are yet alive.
Blessed be His Son Jesus Christ
By whose rising we are set free.
Blessed be the Spirit of God
In whom is our hope and our joy.
Father, we come together in the Name of your Son Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, to offer you our worship, praise and thanksgiving. To you belong all power and glory. You are the source of all goodness. Let our worship bear witness to your peace and saving power. Through your Spirit may we ever rejoice in the abiding presence of our risen and ascended Lord. Amen.
PSALM 77:11-20
11 I will call to mind the deeds of the Lord;
I will remember your wonders of old.
12 I will meditate on all your work and muse on your mighty deeds.
13 Your way, O God, is holy. What god is so great as our God?
14 You are the God who works wonders;
you have displayed your might among the peoples.
15 With your strong arm you redeemed your people,
the descendants of Jacob and Joseph.
16 When the waters saw you, O God, when the waters
saw you, they were afraid; the very deep trembled.
17 The clouds poured out water; the skies thundered;
your arrows flashed on every side.
18 The crash of your thunder was in the whirlwind;
your lightnings lit up the world; the earth trembled and shook.
19 Your way was through the sea, your path through
the mighty waters, yet your footprints were unseen.
20 You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
GLORIA
A READING: Genesis 16:3-10, 15-16
3 After Abram had lived ten years in the land of Canaan, Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar the Egyptian, her slave, and gave her to her husband Abram as a wife. 4 He went in to Hagar, and she conceived, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked with contempt on her mistress. 5 Then Sarai said to Abram, “May the wrong done to me be on you! I gave my slave to your embrace, and when she saw that she had conceived, she looked on me with contempt. May the Lord judge between you and me!” 6 But Abram said to Sarai, “Your slave is in your power; do to her as you please.” Then Sarai dealt harshly with her, and she ran away from her. 7 The angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, the spring on the way to Shur. 8 And he said, “Hagar, slave of Sarai, where have you come from and where are you going?” She said, “I am running away from my mistress Sarai.” 9 The angel of the Lord said to her, “Return to your mistress, and submit to her.” 10 The angel of the Lord also said to her, “I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude.”
15 Hagar bore Abram a son, and Abram named his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael. 16 Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore him Ishmael.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to GOD.
[…Keep, O Lord, your household the Church in your steadfast
faith and love…
Before we explore God’s faithfulness to the Church, let us review his faithfulness in the household of Abraham, the holder of the first covenant. God’s promise to Abraham to give Canaan to his offspring did not include Hagar. She was brought in to hasten or secure the promise because Sarah was childless. When Hagar conceived a son, Ishmael was dragged into the promise and the Lord expanded his grace so that His Word would stand. Costly and complicated as we make life, our God keeps his word, and remains faithful. He will move heaven and earth, if necessary, for his people, for his flock…
…Your way was through the sea, your path through the mighty waters,
You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron…]
