Welcome!

we’re so glad you’re here.

Let’s lift up our voices in song and get into God’s Word together.

Grace alone

I was an orphan lost at the fall

Running away when I'd hear you call

But Father you worked your will

I had no righteousness of my own

I had no right to draw near your throne

But Father you loved me still

And in love before you laid the world's foundation

You predestined to adopt me as your own

You have raised me up so high above my station

I'm a child of God by grace and grace alone

You left your home to seek out the lost

You knew the great and terrible cost

But Jesus your face was set

I worked my fingers down to the bone

But nothing I did could ever atone

But Jesus you paid my debt

By Your blood I have redemption and salvation

Lord you died that I might reap what you have sown

And you rose that I might be a new creation

I am born again by grace and grace alone

I was in darkness all of my life

I never knew the day from the night

But Spirit you made me see

I swore I knew the way on my own

Head full of rocks a heart made of stone

But Spirit you moved in me

And at your touch my sleeping spirit was awakened

On my darkened heart the light of Christ has shone

Called into a kingdom that cannot be shaken

Heaven's citizen by grace and grace alone

So I'll stand in faith by grace and grace alone

I will run the race by grace and grace alone

I will slay my sin by grace and grace alone

I will reach the end by grace and grace alone

Yes he lives

On a hill for sinners His body broken

A King forsaken as He hung on that cross

The veil in pieces the temple shaken

They mourned the Saviour but it wasn’t for long

Oh He lives He’s risen from the grave

Victorious our Saviour reigns oh yes He reigns

He rose the stone is rolled away

Forever our Redeemer lives oh yes He lives

There in the silence it wasn’t over

Oh our Redeemer was getting ready to rise

And on that morning they came to find Him

That tomb was empty 'cause He is alive

That tomb was empty 'cause He is alive

(Jesus) Christ crucified

Through His death there is life

By the blood of the Lamb

We have been forgiven

Our debt has been paid

There is grace upon grace

Only one name that saves

And His name is Jesus

Our assurance

We have a hope to which we cling

When doubt and darkness overcome

When every thought in us condemns

And every comfort comes undone

For our assurance doesn’t rest

In any righteous work we’ve done

But in our God who loved the world

And gave His one and only Son

(REPEAT)

O Praise the one who saved us

O Praise the Risen King

Praise the Father Son and Spirit

Our assurance is in Him

We have a hope that was secured

There is no ransom left to pay

The precious blood of Christ enough

To cover every sin and shame

It is by grace we have been saved

Our risen life is bound with His

Now reconciled we can draw near

As sons and daughters of the King

We have a hope that will not fail

He will sustain us through the storms

To run the race until that day

He calls His children to come home

Then our assurance will be proved

When faith is overcome by sight

When we behold Him face to face

And know forever His delight

For our assurance doesn’t rest

In any righteous work we’ve done

But in our God who loved the world

And gave His one and only Son

Reading

Isaiah 5:1-7

I will sing about the one I love,
a song about my loved one’s vineyard:
The one I love had a vineyard
on a very fertile hill.
2 He broke up the soil, cleared it of stones,
and planted it with the finest vines.
He built a tower in the middle of it
and even dug out a winepress there.
He expected it to yield good grapes,
but it yielded worthless grapes.

3 So now, residents of Jerusalem
and men of Judah,
please judge between me
and my vineyard.
4 What more could I have done for my vineyard
than I did?
Why, when I expected a yield of good grapes,
did it yield worthless grapes?
5 Now I will tell you
what I am about to do to my vineyard:
I will remove its hedge,
and it will be consumed;
I will tear down its wall,
and it will be trampled.
6 I will make it a wasteland.
It will not be pruned or weeded;
thorns and briers will grow up.
I will also give orders to the clouds
that rain should not fall on it.
7 For the vineyard of the Lord of Armies
is the house of Israel,
and the men[a] of Judah,
the plant he delighted in.
He expected justice
but saw injustice;
he expected righteousness
but heard cries of despair.

Luke 20:9-19

9 Now he began to tell the people this parable: “A man planted a vineyard, leased it to tenant farmers, and went away for a long time. 10 At harvest time he sent a servant to the farmers so that they might give him some fruit from the vineyard. But the farmers beat him and sent him away empty-handed. 11 He sent yet another servant, but they beat that one too, treated him shamefully, and sent him away empty-handed. 12 And he sent yet a third, but they wounded this one too and threw him out.

13 “Then the owner of the vineyard said, ‘What should I do? I will send my beloved son. Perhaps they will respect him.’

14 “But when the tenant farmers saw him, they discussed it among themselves and said, ‘This is the heir. Let’s kill him, so that the inheritance will be ours.’ 15 So they threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.

“What then will the owner of the vineyard do to them? 16 He will come and kill those farmers and give the vineyard to others.”

But when they heard this they said, “That must never happen!”

17 But he looked at them and said, “Then what is the meaning of this Scripture:

The stone that the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone?

18 Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces, and on whomever it falls, it will shatter him.”

19 Then the scribes and the chief priests looked for a way to get their hands on him that very hour, because they knew he had told this parable against them, but they feared the people.

Sermon

Cornerstone

Verse 1

My hope is built on nothing less

Than Jesus' blood and righteousness

I dare not trust the sweetest frame

But wholly trust in Jesus' Name

Christ alone cornerstone

Weak made strong in the Saviour's love

Through the storm He is Lord

Lord of all

When darkness seems to hide His face

I rest on His unchanging grace

In every high and stormy gale

My anchor holds within the veil

My anchor holds within the veil

When He shall come with trumpet sound

Oh may I then in Him be found

Dressed in His righteousness alone

Faultless stand before the throne

That’s a wrap!

Thanks for joining us today.
