He Leadeth Me *Opening Hymn Hymnal #128 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

He leadeth me: O blessed thought! O words with heavenly comfort fraught! Whate'er I do, where'er I be, still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.  He leadeth me, he leadeth me,  by his own hand he leadeth me;  his faithful follower I would be,  for by his hand he leadeth me. 

Sometimes mid scenes of deepest gloom, sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom, by waters still, o'er troubled sea, still 'tis his hand that leadeth me.  He leadeth me, he leadeth me,  by his own hand he leadeth me;  his faithful follower I would be,  for by his hand he leadeth me. 

Lord, I would place my hand in thine, nor ever murmur nor repine; content, whatever lot I see, since 'tis my God that leadeth me. He leadeth me, he leadeth me,  by his own hand he leadeth me;  his faithful follower I would be,  for by his hand he leadeth me.  

And when my task on earth is done, when by thy grace the victory's won, e'en death's cold wave I will not flee, since God through Jordan leadeth me. He leadeth me, he leadeth me,  by his own hand he leadeth me;  his faithful follower I would be,  for by his hand he leadeth me.

The Lily of the Valley *Hymn TFWS #2062 Used By Permission. CCLI License # 11148194

I have found a friend in Jesus,  he's everything to me, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul; the Lily of the Valley, in him alone I see all I need to cleanse and make me fully whole. In sorrow he's my comfort, in trouble he's my stay,  he tells me every care on him to roll.

He's the Lily of the Valley,  the bright and Morning Star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 

He all my grief has taken, and all my sorrows borne; in temptation he's my strong and mighty tower;  I have all for him forsaken, and all my idols torn from my heart, and now he keeps me by his power.  Though all the world forsake me, and Satan tempts me sore, through Jesus I shall safely reach the goal. 

He's the Lily of the Valley,  the bright and Morning Star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul. 

He will never, never leave me, nor yet forsake me here, while I live by faith and do his blessed will;  a wall of fire about me, I've nothing now to fear, with his manna he my hungry soul shall fill. Then sweeping up to glory, to see his blessed face, where rivers of delight shall ever roll. 

He's the Lily of the Valley,  the bright and Morning Star, he's the fairest of ten thousand to my soul.

Scripture Reading Acts 10:1-20 In Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian Cohort, as it was called. 2 He was a devout man who feared God with all his household; he gave alms generously to the people and prayed constantly to God. 3 One afternoon at about three o’clock he had a vision in which he clearly saw an angel of God coming in and saying to him, “Cornelius.” 

4 He stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord 4 He stared at him in terror and said, “What is it, Lord?” He answered, “Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. 5 Now send men to Joppa for a certain Simon who is called Peter;6 he is lodging with Simon, a tanner, whose house is by the seaside.” 7 When the angel who spoke to him had left, he called two of his slaves and a devout soldier from the ranks of those who served him, 8 and after telling them everything, he sent them to Joppa.

9 About noon the next day, as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray.10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat; and while it was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw the heaven opened and something like a large sheet coming down, being lowered to the ground by its four corners. 12 In it were all kinds of four-footed creatures and reptiles and birds of the air. 

13 Then he heard a voice saying, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat 13 Then he heard a voice saying, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat.” 14 But Peter said, “By no means, Lord; for I have never eaten anything that is profane or unclean.”15 The voice said to him again, a second time, “What God has made clean, you must not call profane.” 16 This happened three times, and the thing was suddenly taken up to heaven. 17 Now while Peter was greatly puzzled about what to make of the vision that he had seen, suddenly the men sent

by Cornelius appeared. They were asking for Simon’s house and were standing by the gate. 18 They called out to ask whether Simon, who was called Peter, was staying there.19 While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, “Look, three men are searching for you.20 Now get up, go down, and go with them without hesitation; for I have sent them.”

Adjustments, Sacrifice and Obedience The Message Adjustments, Sacrifice and Obedience

Prayer David Livingstone Lord, send me anywhere, only go with me. Lay any burden on me, only sustain me. Sever any tie but the tie that binds me to Thyself.

The Apostle’s Creed (Hymnal # 7) I believe in God, the Father Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Crist, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again; he ascended into heaven, is seated at the right hand of the Father, and will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
