We have the blessed privilege on this Lord’s Day to make much
of Christ through the reading, singing, and preaching of God’s
Word together.

I will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. Oh, magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together!
Hebrews 2:14–18Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham. Therefore he had to be made like his brothers in every respect, so that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in the service of God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.
*propitiation: a sacrifice that bears God’s wrath and turns it to favor.

Fighter Verse for the Week of September 27Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing,
but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things,hopes all things, endures all things.
– 1 Corinthians 13:4–7

Sermon:“Like the Son in Humility”
Matthew 18:1-5
As His death and departure draws near, God the Son prepares His disci-ples for continuance in His absence. He does this in the most masterful manner. Through powerful object lessons, He teaches them who they should be and how they should live as His representatives. The series started with the Son, now in each vignette we see His silhouette. A Christian man must be a Christ-like man. There is no Christianity without Christ, His cross, and His character manifestly present in His people. The church is His embassy on earth, and these are the foundational ethics by which she represents her King and His kingdom. This first of five distinct lessons is the mother of all virtue—the foundation of every other Christlikeness. It is the most unnatural, countercultural, and shockingly ironic principle of true greatness: humility. This passage sets the stage for the rest of the chapter, marking the very beginning of what it means to image Christ. Here we have the call to be like the Son in humility.
How Deep the Father’s Love for UsHow deep the Father’s love for us?How vast beyond all measure?That He should give His only Son,to make a wretch His treasure.How great the pain of searing loss,the Father turns His face awayas wounds which mar the chosen One,bring many sons to glory.
Behold the Man upon a cross,my sin upon His shoulders.Ashamed I hear my mocking voicecall out among the scoffers.It was my sin that held Him there,until it was accomplished,His dying breath has brought me life,I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything,no gifts, no power, no wisdom.But I will boast in Jesus Christ,His death and resurrection.Why should I gain from His reward?I cannot give an answer.But this I know with all my heart,His wounds have paid my ransom.
All Creatures of Our God and KingAll creatures of our God and KingLift up your voice and with us singO praise Him! Alleluia!Thou, burning sun with golden beamThou, silver moon with softer gleamO praise Him! O praise Him!Alleluia! Alleluia!Alleluia!
Let all things their Creator blessAnd worship Him in humblenessO praise Him! Alleluia!Praise, praise the Father, praise the SonAnd praise the Spirit, Three in One!O praise Him! O praise Him!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
All the redeemed washed by His bloodCome and rejoice in His great loveO praise Him! Alleluia!Christ has defeated every sinCast all your burdens now on HimO praise Him! O praise Him!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
He shall return in power to reignHeaven and earth will join to sayO praise Him! Alleluia!Then who shall fall on bended knee?All creatures of our God and KingO praise Him! O praise Him!Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
Christ Is Mine ForevermoreMine are days that God has numberedI was made to walk with HimYet I look for worldly treasureAnd forsake the King of kingsBut mine is hope in my RedeemerThough I fall, His love is sureFor Christ has paid for every failingI am His forevermore
Mine are tears in times of sorrowDarkness not yet understoodThrough the valley I must travelWhere I see no earthly goodBut mine is peace that flows from heavenAnd the strength in times of needI know my pain will not be wastedChrist completes His work in me
Mine are days here as a strangerPilgrim on a narrow wayOne with Christ I will encounterHarm and hatred for His nameBut mine is armor for this battleStrong enough to last the warAnd He has said He will deliverSafely to the golden shore
And mine are keys to Zion cityWhere beside the King I walkFor there my heart has found its treasureChrist is mine forevermoreCome rejoice now, O my soulFor His love is my rewardFear is gone and hope is sureChrist is mine forevermore!
Be Thou My VisionBe Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art,Thou my best thought, by day or by night,Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light!
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,Thou mine inheritance, now and always;Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,High King of heaven, my treasure Thou art.
High King of heaven, my victory won,May I reach heaven’s joys,O bright heaven’s Sun!Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me…”
The Providence Of GodAnd His Government Of All Things
We believe that the same good God, after He had created all things, did not forsake them or give them up to fortune or chance, but that He rules and governs them according to His holy will, so that nothing happens in this world without His appointment; nevertheless, God neither is the Author of nor can be charged with the sins which are committed. For His power and goodness are so great and incomprehensible that He orders and executes His work in the most excellent and just manner, even then when devils and wicked men act unjustly.
This doctrine affords us unspeakable consolation, since we are taught thereby that nothing can befall us by chance, but by the direction of our most gracious and heavenly Father; who watches over us with a paternal care, keeping all creatures so under His power that not a hair of our head (for they are all numbered), nor a sparrow can fall to the ground without the will of our Father, in whom we do entirely trust; begin per-suaded that He so restrains the devil and all our enemies that without His will and permission they cannot hurt us.
