OPENING SONG
He Reigns
1. It’s the song of the redeemed Rising from the African plain It's the song of the forgiven Drowning out the Amazon rain The song of Asian believers Filled with God's holy fire It's every tribe every tongue every nation A love song born of a grateful choir
Chorus It's all God's children singing Glory glory hallelujah He reigns He reigns It's all God's children singing Glory glory hallelujah He reigns (He reigns)
2. Let it rise above the four winds Caught up in the heavenly sound Let praises echo from the towers of cathedrals To the faithful gathered underground Of all the songs sung from the dawn of creation Some were meant to persist Of all the bells rung from a thousand steeples None rings truer than this
Bridge And all the powers of darkness Tremble at what they've just heard 'Cause all the powers of darkness Can't drown out a single word

SONGS OF PRAISE
This Is My Father’s World
1. This is my Father's world And to my list'ning ears All nature sings and 'round me rings Music of the spheres
2. This is my Father's world I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees of skies and seas His hand the wonders wrought
3. This is my Father's world The birds their carols raise The morning light the lily white Declare their Maker's praise
4. This is my Father's world He shines in all that's fair In the rust'ling grass I hear Him pass He speaks to me ev'rywhere
5. This is my Father's world O let me ne'er forget That though the wrong seems oft so strong God is the Ruler yet
Chorus This is my Father's world Why should my heart be sad The Lord is King let the heavens ring God reigns let the earth be glad The Lord is King let the heavens ring God reigns let the earth be glad
All Things New
1. Come broken and weary Come battered and bruised My Jesus makes all things new All things new
2. Come lost and abandoned Come blown by the wind He'll bring you back home again Home again Chorus Rise up, oh you sleeper Awake, the light of the dawn is upon you Rise up, oh you sleeper Awake, he makes all things new All things new 3. Come frozen with shame Come burning with guilt My Jesus, he loves you still He loves you still
Bridge The world was good The world is fallen The world will be redeemed
4. O hold on to the promise The stories are true That Jesus makes all things new The dawn is upon you
BENEDICTION - REVELATION 22:20-21 “He who testifies to these things says, "Surely I am coming soon." Amen. Come, Lord Jesus! The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.”
Benediction - God always gets the last word in our worship. This is not a prayer asking for God to do something, but rather a declaration of what He will do!
CONFESSION OF SIN - JEREMIAH 2:12-13
All: “Be appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked, be utterly desolate, declares the LORD, for my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living waters, and hewed out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON - JEREMIAH 31:33-34 “For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
How Great is Our God 1. The splendor of the King Clothed in majesty Let all the earth rejoice All the earth rejoice He wraps Himself in light And darkness tries to hide And trembles at His voice And trembles at His voice
Chorus How great is our God Sing with me How great is our God And all will see how great How great is our God
2. And age to age He stands And time is in His hands Beginning and the End Beginning and the End The Godhead three in one Father Spirit Son The Lion and the Lamb The Lion and the Lamb
(Bridge) Name above all names Worthy of all praise My heart will sing How great is our God
PASTORAL PRAYER
SERMON TEXT: LUKE 19:28-48
Luke 19:28 And when he had said these things, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he drew near to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount that is called Olivet, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village in front of you, where on entering you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever yet sat. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ you shall say this: ‘The Lord has need of it.’” 32 So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had told them. 33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 And they said, “The Lord has need of it.” 35 And they brought it to Jesus, and throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it.
36 And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” 39 And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.”
41 And when he drew near and saw the city, he wept over it, 42 saying, “Would that you, even you, had known on this day the things that make for peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes. 43 For the days will come upon you, when your enemies will set up a barricade around you and surround you and hem you in on every side 44 and tear you down to the ground, you and your children within you. And they will not leave one stone upon another in you, because you did not know the time of your visitation.” 45 And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who sold, 46 saying to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a den of robbers.” 47 And he was teaching daily in the temple. The chief priests and the scribes and the principal men of the people were seeking to destroy him, 48 but they did not find anything they could do, for all the people were hanging on his words.
Coming Home to Shalom - Pastor Cody A. Brobst Luke 19:28-48
Main Idea: Jesus did not just come to save human souls, but to bring shalom to all things.
1. Animals Employed for God’s Plan (Vs. 28-35)
2. Mountains Exalted for God’s Praise (Vs. 36-40)
3. Cities and Cultures Erupted for God’s Purposes (Vs. 41-48)
Gospel Applications: a) Give the value to creatures, creation and what you create that God does. b) It’s okay to be in the world- just don’t be of it. This is my Father’s world!
Key Scriptures:
2 Peter 3:10: “But the day of the Lord will come like a thief and then the heavens will pass away with a roar and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed.”
Zechariah 9:9: “Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey...”
Isaiah 11:9 (cf. 65:17-25): “They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
