Opening Song: I Will Boast in Christ by Reuben Morgan and Scott LigertwoodLyrics:All I have because of JesusAll this promise won for meWhen He paid the highest ransomOnce for always for my freedomI will boast in Christ aloneHis righteousness and not my ownI will cling to Christ my hopeHis mercy reigns now and foreverLove will never lose its powerAll my failures could not eraseNow I walk within Your favourGrace unending my salvationWhat can wash away my sinNothing but the blood of JesusWhat can make me whole againNothing but the blood of Jesus(Nothing but the blood of Jesus)O precious is the flowThat makes me white as snowNo other fount I knowNothing but the blood of JesusNothing but the blood of JesusPassage: 6 Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches. 7 Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. 9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. 10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.11 See with what large letters I am writing to you with my own hand. 12 It is those who want to make a good showing in the flesh who would force you to be circumcised, and only in order that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ. 13 For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh. 14 But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. 15 For neither circumcision counts for anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. 16 And as for all who walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.17 From now on let no one cause me trouble, for I bear on my body the marks of Jesus.18 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brothers. Amen.(Galatians Musical Reflection: Nothing But The Blood (PLAINFIELD) by Robert LowryReflection Notes: Lowry wrote several hymns for his congregation’s use in the late nineteenth century. This particular tune is pentatonic (only five notes used per octave) and falls within a small vocal range, which made it accessible for all parishioners to sing and enjoy. Prayer:Grant us, O Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who can do no good thing apart from you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
