10. **THE OPENING HYMN #354 ‘I CANNOT TELL WHY, HE, THE KING OF HEAVEN’ (Tune – Londonderry Air / O Danny Boy) [ All who are able please stand ]

11. (1a) I cannot tell why, He, the King of heaven, should leave the peace of all eternity; Why God, Himself, should lay aside His splendor To leave the Father’s side and come to me.

12. (1b) But this I know: our silence filled with singing, And all our darkness fled from heaven’s light When Christ the Lord, so human, yet so holy, In love was born a child for me that holy night.

13. (2a) I cannot tell why, He, the joy of heaven, should give Himself to suffer for my sin, Why Holy God should love me in my shamefulness, Why He should die to draw my soul to Him.

14. (2b) But this I know: that Christ the Lord is risen, And praise His name, He’s risen now in me! Because He lives, I’ll rise to life eternal! He took my guilty heart, and I’m forever free!

15. (3a) I cannot tell when He will rule the nations, How He will claim His loved ones as His own; And who can tell the holy jubilation When all His children gather ‘round His throne.

16. (3b) But this I know: all flesh will see His glory, And skies will burst as all creation sings. The Son will rise on one eternal morning When Christ, the Savior of the world, is Lord and King!

17. SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON Isaiah 5:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call on Him while He is near. Set aside sinful ways and wrongful thoughts. Turn to the Lord because He will have mercy, and He will abundantly pardon.

18. Grace Greater Than Our Sin (Please remain seated) Marvelous grace of our loving Lord, Grace that exceeds our sin and our guilt! Yonder on Calvary’s mount outpoured, There where the blood of the Lamb was spilled. Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

19. (2) Sin and despair, like the sea waves cold, Threaten the soul with infinite loss; Grace that is greater, yes, grace untold, Points to the refuge, the mighty cross. Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

20. (3) Dark is the stain that we cannot hide. What can avail to wash it away? Look! There is flowing a crimson tide, Whiter than snow you may be today. Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

21. (4) (PLEASE STAND) Marvelous, infinite, matchless grace, Freely bestowed on all who believe! You that are longing to see His face, Will you this moment His grace receive? Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin.

23. A TIME OF SHARING WITH GOD’S CHILDREN OF ALL AGES

24. THE HEBREW SCRIPTURE Psalm 26:1-12 Vindicate me, O Lord, for I have led a blameless life; I have trusted in the Lord without wavering. Test me, O Lord, and try me, examine my heart and my mind; for Your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in Your truth. I do not sit with deceitful men, nor do I consort with hypocrites; I abhor the assembly of evildoers and refuse to sit with the wicked.

25. I wash my hands in innocence, and go about Your altar, O Lord, proclaiming aloud Your praise and telling of all Your wonderful deeds. I love the house where You live, O Lord, the place where Your glory dwells. Do not take away my soul along with sinners, my life with bloodthirsty men, in whose hands are wicked schemes, whose right hands are full of bribes. But I lead a blameless life; Redeem me and be merciful to me. My feet stand on level ground; In the great assembly, I will praise the Lord.

26. THE SONG OF PREPARATION: #585 ‘BE STILL AND KNOW’ Be still and know that I am God....3x I am the Lord that healeth Thee....3x My boundless mercy shall endure..3x I love you with a steadfast love....3x In Thee, O Lord, I put my trust....3x

27. THE SERMON: THE PARABLE OF THE TERRIBLE TABLE THAT WASN’T Text: Psalm 26:1-12 Bayshore Gardens Community Church Dr. Daniel Herlein

30. WHEN WE ALLOW irritating people and difficult circumstances to pile up on us like layer after layer of suffocating, stifling paint, we smother God’s gifts of our brightness our enthusiasm, our excitement, our potential, our energy our usefulness.

31. IMPORTANT BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE... David accepted personal responsibility for dealing Constructively, Progressively and Appropriately with people and circumstances that really bothered him. We have to do the same. No one else is going to take personal responsibility for us.

32. PSALM 26:2 Test me, O Lord, and try me; examine my heart and my mind, for Your love is ever before me, and I continually walk in Your truth.

37. #657 ‘CLEANSE ME, O GOD’ [ All who are able please stand ]

38. (1) Search me, O God And know my heart today; Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray. See if there be some wicked way in me; Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.

39. (2) I praise You, Lord, for cleansing me from sin; Fulfill Your Word and make me pure within. Fill me with fire where once I burned with shame; Grant my desire to magnify Your name.

40. (3) Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Yours; Fill my poor heart with Your great love divine. Take all my will, my passion, self and pride; I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.

41. (4) O Holy Ghost, revival comes from You; Send a revival, start the work with me. Your Word declares You will supply our need; For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
