Call to Worship: A Mighty Fortress

1 A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing; Our helper He amid the flood Of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe Doth seek to work us woe-- His craft and pow'r are great, And armed with cruel hate, On earth is not his equal.

2 Did we in our own strength confide, Our striving would be losing, Were not the right Man on our side, The Man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus it is He-- Lord Sabaoth His name, From age to age the same, And He must win the battle.

Chorus: A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God! A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God!

3 That word above all earthly pow'rs, No thanks to them, abideth; The Spirit and the gifts are ours Through Him who with us sideth. Let goods and kindred go, This mortal life also-- The body they may kill; God's truth abideth still: His kingdom is forever!

Chorus: A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God! A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God! A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God! A mighty fortress, a mighty fortress is our God! Our God.

5 And on this Reformation day, We join with saints of old to sing. We lift our hearts as one in praise: Glory to Christ our gracious King.

Chorus: Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone; Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone. Glory to God alone, glory to God alone.

Message:

All I Have Is Christ

1 I once was lost in darkest night Yet thought I knew the way; The sin that promised joy and life Had led me to the grave. I had no hope that You would own A rebel to Your will

And if You had not loved me first I would refuse You still.

2 But as I ran my hell-bound race, Indiff’rent to the cost You looked upon my helpless state And led me to the cross; And I beheld God's love displayed, You suffered in my place, You bore the wrath reserved for me. Now all I know is grace!

Chorus: Hallelujah! All I have is Christ! Hallelujah! Jesus is my life! Hallelujah! All I have is Christ! Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!

3 Now Lord I would be Yours alone And live so all might see The strength to follow Your commands Could never come from me. O Father use my ransomed life In any way You choose And let my song forever be My only boast is You.

Chorus 2x: Hallelujah! All I have is Christ! Hallelujah! Jesus is my life! Hallelujah! All I have is Christ! Hallelujah! Jesus is my life!

Chorus 2x: To the praise of Your glory, to the praise of Your mercy and grace; To the praise of Your glory, You are the God who saves.

Pastoral Prayer

Song of Confession: Rock of Ages

1 Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee; Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed, Be of sin the double cure; Save from wrath and make me pure.

2 Not the labor of my hands Can fulfill Thy law's commands; Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow, All for sin could not atone; Thou must save and Thou alone.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring, Simply to the cross I cling; Naked, come to Thee for dress; Helpless look to Thee for grace; Foul, I to the fountain fly; Wash me, Savior, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death, When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.

Special Music: Reformation Song

1 Your Word alone is solid ground, The mighty rock on which we build; In every line the truth is found And every page with glory filled.

2 Through faith alone we come to You; We have no merit we can claim. Sure that Your promises are true, We place our hope in Jesus’ name.

Chorus: Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone; Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone.

3 In Christ alone we’re justified; His righteousness is all our plea; Your law’s demands are satisfied; His perfect work has set us free.

Chorus: Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone; Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone.

4 By grace alone we have been saved; All that we are has come from You. Hearts that were once by sin enslaved Now by Your pow’r have been made new.

Chorus: Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone; Gloria, gloria, glory to God alone. CONTINUED>>

MEMORY VERSE CHALLENGERomans 5:1-5 (ESV)

1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, wehave peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.

hope of the glory of God.

1: My attempts at righteousness equates to nothing

1 If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more:

5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, aHebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee;

6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law,blameless.

7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

8 Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing

Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and countthem as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ

9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from thelaw, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God thatdepends on faith—

10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share hissufferings, becoming like him in his death,

11 that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead.

MAIN QUESTION: How Does One Gain God's Righteousness?
