Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing Hymn 258: Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing

Sweet the moments, rich in blessing, which before the cross I spend, life and health and peace possessing from the sinner's dying Friend. Here I rest, in wonder viewing all my sins on Jesus laid, here I see redemption flowing from the sacrifice he made.

Here I find the dawn of heaven, while upon the cross I gaze, see my trespasses forgiven, and my songs of triumph raise. O that near the cross abiding, I may to the Savior cleave, naught with him my heart dividing, all for him content to leave.

Confession of Faith: The Apostles’ Creed How Good It Is to Thank the Lord

I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; He descended into hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come 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.

Scripture Reading: Luke 23:32-38 (ESV)

32 Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” And they cast lots to divide his garments.

35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, “He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!” 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, “If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!” 38 There was also an inscription over him, “This is the King of the Jews.”

Message: A Great Forgiveness by Pastor James Lim lder Eric Kooi

Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands Hymn 427: Amidst Us Our Beloved Stands Blessed Are the Sons of God

Amidst us our Beloved stands, and bids us view his pierc-ed hands; points to the wounded feet and side, blest emblems of the Crucified. What food luxurious loads the board, when at his table sits the Lord! The wine how rich, the bread how sweet, when Jesus deigns the guests to meet!

If now, with eyes defiled and dim, we see the signs, but see not him; O may his love the scales displace, and bid us see him face to face! O glorious Bridegroom of our hearts, your present smile a heaven imparts! O lift the veil, if veil there be, let every saint your glory see!

Hymn: The Power of the Cross Blessed Are the Sons of God

Oh, to see the dawn Of the darkest day: Christ on the road to Calvary. Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then Nailed to a cross of wood. This, the pow'r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath; We stand forgiven at the cross.

Oh, to see the pain Written on Your face, Bearing the awesome weight of sin. Ev'ry bitter thought, Ev'ry evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow. This, the pow'r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath; We stand forgiven at the cross.

bore the wrath; We stand Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath Quakes as its Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two, Dead are raised to life; "Finished!" the vict'ry cry. This, the pow'r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath; We stand forgiven at the cross.

Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love. Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love. This, the pow'r of the cross: Son of God slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.

Benediction

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; praise him above, ye heav’nly host: praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
