Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all; Bring forth the royal diadem, And crown Him Lord of all. Let every kindred, every tribe, On this terrestrial ball, To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all; To Him all majesty ascribe, And crown Him Lord of all. O that with yonder sacred throng, We at His feet may fall! We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all; We’ll join the everlasting song, And crown Him Lord of all.

SALVATION BELONGS TO OUR GOD Salvation belongs to our God, Who sits upon the throne, And unto the Lamb: Praise and glory, wisdom and thanks, Honor and power and strength Be to our God, forever and ever (3x), AMEN!

In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. 4 ON JORDAN’S STORMY BANKS On Jordan’s stormy banks I stand, And cast a wishful eye To Canaan’s fair and happy land, Where my possessions lie. I am bound; I am bound; I am bound for the Promised Land, I am bound; I am bound; I am bound for the Promised Land All o’er those wide extended plains, Shines one eternal day; There God the Son forever reigns, And scatters night away. (chorus) No chilling winds nor pois’nous breath, Can reach that healthful shore; Sickness, sorrow, pain and death, Are felt and feared no more. (chorus) When shall I reach that happy place, And be forever blest? When shall I see my Father’s face, And in His bosom rest? (chorus) OFFERING BAPTISM Cole Andrew Pepin Parents, if you’d like for your children (3K-Kindergarten) to participate in Children’s Church, please dismiss them after the baptism. INTERCESSORY PRAYER See right sidebar for information about this week’s missionary and left sidebar for information about this week’s community group. 5 Where in the World Leah Emory, a member of Redeemer, currently serves with World Harvest Mission (whose name recently changed to Serge) as part of a small team of long-term staff working in London in the missionary apprenticeship program (MAP). MAP exists to mentor and disciple the next generation by training and shepherding future church leaders in the Greater London area— with an emphasis on those from South Asian cultures. Pray for safe arrival of the interns and that God would give Leah and the rest of the staff hearts of compassion for the interns as they challenge them in the cultural training and Sonship discipleship program. Pray for the transition back to the States of two of their apprentices and for Leah’s church and team as they grieve losing those two laborers. Pray for several members of their churches who have been detained by immigration issues that they would be drawn closer to the Lord through this experience. Send Leah an email ldemory82@gmail.com. Rev. Craig Bailey SERMON from Deuteronomy 16:18-17:20 Subscribe to our iTunes podcast, or listen online at redeemer-charleston.org/sermons. 6 6 SPEAK, O LORD Speak, O Lord, as we come to You, To receive the food of Your Holy Word. Take Your truth, plant it deep in us; Shape and fashion us in Your likeness, That the light of Christ might be seen today. In our acts of love and our deeds of faith. Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us. All Your purposes for Your glory. Teach us, Lord, full obedience, Holy reverence, true humility; Test our thoughts and our attitudes, In the radiance of Your purity. Cause our faith to rise; cause our eyes to see Your majestic love and authority. Words of pow’r that can never fail— Let their truth prevail over unbelief. Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds; Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us—Truths unchanged from the dawn of time, That will echo down through eternity. And by grace we’ll stand on Your promises, And by faith we’ll walk as You walk with us. Speak, O Lord, till Your church is built And the earth is filled with Your glory.
