Genesis 1:26-2:3; 2:7-9,15
God's Design for Human Flourishing (Part 1): Work & Rest
In the garden of Eden, we are given a picture of life as God designed it to be. In Genesis 1:26-2:3 and 2:7-9, 15, we see humanity created for fellowship with God and called to live within rhythms that lead to true flourishing. This Sunday, Pastor Jared Richard will begin God’s Design for Human Flourishing (Part 1): Work & Rest, inviting us to consider how meaningful work and intentional rest reflect God’s good design for our lives. Take some time before we gather to read these verses and let them shape your heart for worship. Listening to the songs ahead of time can also help prepare your mind to rest in the goodness of what God has made as we worship together.
Come Thou Almighty King
Lyrics
Come, Thou Almighty King,
Help us Thy name to sing;
Help us to praise:
Father, all glorious,
O'er all victorious,
Come, and reign over us,
Ancient of Days.
Come, Thou Incarnate Word,
Gird on Thy mighty sword,
Our prayer attend:
Come, and Thy people bless,
And give Thy Word success:
Spirit of holiness, on us descend.
Come, Holy Comforter,
Thy sacred witness bear
In this glad hour:
Thou who almighty art,
Now rule in every heart,
And ne'er from us depart,
Spirit of power.
To Thee, great One in Three,
Eternal praises be
Hence, evermore.
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
His sovereign majesty
May we in glory see,
And to eternity
Love and adore!
Firm Foundation (He Won't)
Lyrics
Christ is my firm foundation
The Rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaking
I've never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
'Cause He's never let me down
He's faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won't
He won't
I've still got joy in chaos
I've got peace that makes no sense
So I won't be going under
I'm not held by my own strength
'Cause I build my life on Jesus
He's never let me down
He's faithful in еvеry season
So why would He fail now?
Hе won't
He won't
Hе won't fail
He won't fail
Christ is my firm foundation
The Rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaking
I've never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
'Cause He's never let me down
He's faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won't
He won't
He won't fail
He won't fail
Rain came and wind blew
But my house was built on You
I'm safe with You
I'm gonna make it through
Yeah, I'm gonna make it through
'Cause I'm standing strong on You
Yeah, I'm gonna make it through
'Cause my house is built on You
Christ is my firm foundation
The Rock on which I stand
When everything around me is shaking
I've never been more glad
That I put my faith in Jesus
'Cause He's never let me down
He's faithful through generations
So why would He fail now?
He won't
He won't
He won't fail
He won't fail
My Soul Will Wait (Psalm 62)
Lyrics
When the enemy surrounds
And my heart grows faint within
When the darkness overwhelms
And my fears are pressing inI will trust in You, oh, Lord
In the silence I will wait
I will stand upon Your word
You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You
You're my stronghold and my shield
In the midst of every threat
Though the wicked never yield
They will vanish like a breathYes, I know the outcome's sure
Satan's evil plans will fail
In Your power I'm secure
You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You
You're my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My refuge and
My sure foundation
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You
This is love, I can't explain
This is mercy unreserved
Through Your sacrifice so great
I have peace that's undeserved
For the battle has been won
And I fear no shame or loss
Now the sting of death is gone
You're my solid rock
And my salvation
My steadfast hope
That won't be shaken
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You
You're my comfort
When I feel forsaken
My refuge and
My sure foundation
My soul will wait
My soul will wait for You
Pouring out our hearts before You
We will trust in You
Perfect Savior, strong defender
We will trust in You
Is He Worthy?
Lyrics
Do you feel the world is broken?
(We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen?
(We do)
But do you know that all the dark won't
Stop the light from getting through?
(We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new?
We do)Is all creation groaning?
(It is)
Is a new creation coming?
(It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst?
(It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this?
(It is)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He was David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy of this?
He is
Does the Father truly love us?
(He does)
Does the Spirit move among us?
(He does)
And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves?
(He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us?
(He does
)Is anyone worthy?
Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave
He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From every people and tribe
Every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God
To reign with the SonIs He worthy? Is He worthy?
Of all blessing and honor and glory
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is!
Is He worthy? Is He worthy?
He is!
He is!
