Welcome

UBC exists because God, in his infinite love, sent his Son Jesus Christ to live and die in the place of sinners. On the third day Jesus rose bodily from the grave, once and for all victorious over sin and death. Now, through Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God is reconciling this broken world to himself. We gather in that great hope. We pray it’s your hope as well, and that you’re encouraged during your time with us.

Note on Children

Parents, we encourage having children in the service, but if they do get restless, televisions throughout the foyer carry a live stream of our service. You can also find activity bags and a service sheet to help them follow along at ConnectingPoint. A room for nursing mothers is located on the 4th floor of the Main Hall. This room is available at all times and includes a live stream of our service as well. We also offer childcare during the main service for all nursery through preschool-aged children.

Church Membership

For those interested in membership at UBC, we regularly offer a Discovery Class. In this class, you’ll learn what the Bible says about church membership, what we believe as a church, and how we seek to live out the commands of God’s Word. You can find more information on our website.

“I will bless the Lord at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together!”

“He Who Is Mighty” “He Who Is Mighty” words & music by Rebecca Elliott and Kate DeGraide ©2014 Sovereign Grace Praise | Sovereign Grace Worship CCLI License #209556

Oh the mercy our God has shown To those who sit in death's shadow The sun on high pierced the night

Born was the Cornerstone

Unto us a Son is given Unto us a Child is born

He Who is mighty has done a great thing Taken on flesh conquered death's sting

Shattered the darkness and lifted our shame Holy is His name Holy is His name

Oh the freedom our Savior won The yoke of sin has been broken

Once a slave now by grace No more condemnation

Chorus

(Now) My soul magnifies the Lord I rejoice in the God Who saves

I will trust His unfailing love I will sing His praises all my days

Scripture Reading | Acts 20:17-38 All Scripture readings are taken from the English Standard Version.

Now from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called the elders of the church to come to him. And when they came to him, he said to them: “You yourselves know how I lived among you the whole time from the first day that I set foot in Asia, serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trails that happened to me through the plots of the Jews; how I did not shrink from declaring to you anything that was profitable, and teaching you in public and from house to house, testifying both to Jews and to Greeks of repentance toward God and of faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. And now, behold, I am going to Jerusalem, constrained by the Spirit, not knowing what will happen to me there, except that the Holy Spirit testifies to me in every city that imprisonment and afflictions await me. But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify of the gospel of the grace of God. And now, behold, I know that none of you among whom I have gone about proclaiming the kingdom will see my face again. Therefore I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all, for I did not shrink from declaring to you the whole counsel of God. Pay careful attention to yourselves and all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care fro the church of God, which he obtained with his own blood. I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will arise men speaking twisted things, to draw away the disciples after them. Therefore be alert, remembering that for three years I did not cease night or day to admonish every one with tears. And now I commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified. I coveted no one’s silver or gold or apparel. You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my necessities and to those who were with me. In all things I have shown you that by working hard in this way we must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.” And when he had said these things, he knelt down and prayed with them all. And there was much weeping on the part of all; they embraced Paul and kissed him, being sorrowful most of all because of the word he had spoken, that they would not see his face again. And they accompanied him to the ship.

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

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

Who is like the Lord our God? Strong to save, faithful in love

My debt is paid and the vict'ry won The Lord is my salvation

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

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

Chorus

Glory be to God the Father Glory be to God the Son

Glory be to God the Spirit The Lord is our salvation

“In Christ Alone” “In Christ Alone” words & music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend ©2001 Thankyou Music CCLI License #209556

In Christ alone my hope is found He is my light my strength my song This Cornerstone this solid Ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm What heights of love what depths of peace When fears are stilled when strivings cease

My Comforter my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone who took on flesh Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness Scorned by the ones He came to save

Till on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay Light of the world by darkness slain Then bursting forth in glorious Day Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me

For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life no fear in death This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

On Christ the Solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand All other ground is sinking sand
