*Invocation

*Hymn of Praise and Assurance Blessed Assurance Jesus is Mine

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight:

Angels descending bringing from above

Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,

I in my Savior am happy and blest:

Watching and waiting, looking above,

Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long;

This is my story, this is my song,

Praising my Savior all the day long.

*Congregational Affirmation of Faith Ephesians 2:4-10

Leader:

But God, being rich in mercy,

because of the great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in our trespasses,

made us alive together with Christ------

by grace you have been saved-----

and raised us up with Him and seated us with Him

in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

so that in the coming ages

He might show the immeasurable riches of His grace

in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Congregation:

For by grace you have been saved through faith.

And this is not your own doing;

It is the gift of God,

not a result of works,

so that no one may boast.

For we are His workmanship,

created in Christ Jesus for good works,

which God prepared beforehand,

that we should walk in them.

*Scripture Reading Titus 2:11-14

Sermon The Grace of God: What is it Good For Dr. Heath Rickmond, Pastor

Titus 2:11-14

Grace is pure gift.
Grace is for all types of people.
Grace teaches godliness.
Grace tells us that we belong to God.

*Song of Assurance His Mercy is More

What love could remember no wrongs we have done

Omniscient all knowing He counts not their sum

Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
