WORSHIP GUIDE
SUNDAY, JUNE 20, 2010 - 9:40 A.M. and 11:00 A.M.
PRELUDE: “Praise God” Brock
Lynda Little, organist
HYMN No. 15: “Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing” NETTLETON
1. Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise:
Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it, mount of Thy redeeming love.
2. Here I raise mine Ebenezer; hither by Thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home:
Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.
3. O to grace how great a debtor daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy grace, Lord, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, Lord, take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.
MORNING PRAYER:
Jody Gambrell, Youth Minister

By His power we trust in His love.
Great is the Lord, He is faithful and true;

Great is the Lord and worthy of praise.

There is a redeemer — Jesus, God’s own Son;
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Holy One.
Thank you, O my Father, for giving us Your Son,
And leaving Your Spirit till the work on earth is done.
Jesus, my Redeemer, name above all names:
Precious Lamb of God, Messiah, Hope for sinners slain.
When I stand in glory, I will see His face;
There I’ll serve my King forever in that holy place.
THE WORD TO THE CHURCH: Selected verses from Daniel 2 (page 873)
17 Then Daniel returned to his house and explained the matter to his friends Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah.
18 He urged them to plead for mercy from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that he and his friends might not be executed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.
19 During the night the mystery was revealed to Daniel in a vision. Then Daniel praised the God of heaven 20 and said:
“Praise be to the name of God for ever and ever;
wisdom and power are his.
21 He changes times and seasons;
he sets up kings and deposes them.
He gives wisdom to the wise
and knowledge to the discerning.
22 He reveals deep and hidden things;
he knows what lies in darkness,
and light dwells with him.
23 I thank and praise you, O God of my fathers:
You have given me wisdom and power,
you have made known to me what we asked of you,
you have made known to us the dream of the king.”
44 “In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
“The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy.”

CHORUS “Sanctuary” Thompson/Scruggs
Lord, prepare me to be a sanctuary,
Pure and holy, tried and true;
With thanksgiving, I’ll be a living sanctuary for You.
SERMON:
Senior Pastor Gary Fenton
“Standing on Holy Ground in an Unholy World: What You Don’t Want to Hear, But Do Need to Know”
1. God works through our discomfort
2. Unholy solutions never provide holy answers
3. God tells us what we need to know, but not necessarily what we want to know

His blood can make the foulest clean,
