“People today are trying to hang on to the dignity of man, but they do not know how to, because they have lost the truth that man is made in the image of God. . . . We are watching our culture put into effect the fact that when you tell men long enough that they are machines, it soon begins to show in their actions. You see it in our whole culture -- in the theater of cruelty, in the violence in the streets, in the death of man in art and life.”

Francis A. Schaeffer, Escape from Reason

---------------------

"How can all things be worked together by God for good? The answer is at hand. It is because God’s ultimate purpose is to make us like Christ. His goal is the complete restoration of the image of God in His child! So great a work demands all the resources which God finds throughout the universe, and He ransacks the possibilities of joys and sorrows in order to reproduce in us the character of Jesus."

Sinclair Ferguson, The Christian Life

Psalm 145

Leader

I will exalt you, my God the King;

I will praise your name forever and ever.

Every day I will praise you

and extol your name forever and ever.

Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and rich in love.

Leader

He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.

My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord.

Let every creature praise his name forever and ever!

THIS AMAZING GRACE

Who breaks the power,

of sin and darkness?

Whose love is mighty and

so much stronger

The King of Glory

The King above all kings

Who shakes the whole

earth with holy thunder

And leaves us breathless,

in awe and wonder?

The King of Glory

The King above all kings

This is amazing grace

This is unfailing love

That You would take my place

That You would bear my cross

You laid down Your life

That I would be set free

Whoa, Jesus, I sing for

All that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos

back into order?

Who makes the orphan

a son and daughter?

The King of Glory

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy, Worthy, Worthy

NO LONGER SLAVES

You unravel me with a melody

You surround me with a song

Of deliverance from my enemies

'Til all my fears are gone

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

From my mother's womb

You have chosen me

Love has called my name

I've been born again to your family

Your blood flows through my veins

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

Ooh, ooh

You split the sea,

so I could walk right through it

My fears are drowned in perfect love

You rescued me so

I could stand and say

I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

AMAZING GRACE

Amazing grace,

how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught

my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

My chains are gone,

I've been set free

My God, my Savior

has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy reigns

Unending love, amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

The earth shall soon

dissolve like snow

The sun forbear to shine

But God who called me here below

Will be forever mine

You are forever mine

O PRAISE THE NAME

I cast my mind to Calvary

Where Jesus bled and died for me.

I see His wounds,

His hands, His feet.

My Savior on that cursed tree

His body bound and

drenched in tears

They laid Him down

in Joseph's tomb.

The entrance sealed by heavy stone

Messiah still and all alone

O praise the name of

the Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days

we will sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

Then on the third at break of dawn,

The Son of heaven rose again.

O trampled death

where is your sting?

The angels roar for

Christ the King

He shall return in robes of white,

The blazing Son

shall pierce the night.

And I will rise among the saints,

My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face

O praise the name of the

Lord our God

O praise His name forever more

For endless days we will

sing Your praise

Oh Lord, oh Lord our God

“Lord, I worry because I forget your wisdom.

I resent because I forget your mercy.

I covet because I forget your beauty.

I sin because I forget your holiness.

I fear because I forget your sovereignty.

You always remember me.

Help me to remember you. Amen.”

Genesis 1:1-5, 26-31

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. ² The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

³ And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. ⁴ And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”

27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.
