Amazing Grace! How Sweet the Sound by John Newton

1. Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 2. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed! 3. Thro' many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; 'Tis grace hath bro't me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. 4. The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures. 5. When we've been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We've no less days to sing God's praise Than when we first begun.

The Private Worship of God – August 30, 2020

Children’s Lesson ..........................................Abraham and Isaac

Theme: Trusting God Object: Individually wrapped candy hidden somewhere in the room; two guests

Scripture: And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. Genesis 22:8

You’ll need two guests--only one of these people should be someone kids know well. The person kids know well will tell the truth. Fill in the names in the parentheses below.

Today we are going to play a game called Who Do You Trust? You know these guests I have here. One is our (name of person) and one is (name of person). Our guests are going to give you directions to find some candy, but you can only trust one of them. When our guests are done giving you directions, you guys will tell who you trust. Remember, you can trust only one of these people.

Have each person give the directions. Then ask:

Who do you trust?

Have one child follow the directions given for each person the kids trust. Only one path will lead to the candy. Once the candy is found, bring the kids back and have them share the candy.

You trusted (name of person). Some of the reasons you gave that you trusted this person is because you knew him/her. You knew that he/she would tell you the truth.

Today’s Bible lesson about Abraham and Isaac is about trust. As I tell you what happened, I need your help. When I put my hand to my ear like this (demonstrate), I want you to say in your most surprised voice, “Say what!?”

Abraham was Isaac's father. Abraham and his wife Sarah were almost 100 years old when Isaac was born. (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”) And God told Abraham that He was going to have lots of grandchildren and great grandchildren through his son Isaac.

One day, God spoke to Abraham and told him to take Isaac up on a mountain and give God the thing that he loved more than anything. (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”)

So Abraham took Isaac and they started up the mountain. (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”)

On the third day, Abraham told Isaac that they were going to build an altar and offer a sacrifice to God. Isaac said to his father, "The fire and the wood are here, but where is the lamb for the offering?" (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”)

Abraham answered Isaac and said, "God will provide the lamb." They kept walking until they arrived at the place where God had told him to go. Then Abraham built an altar and arranged the wood on it. Abraham was ready to give God the thing he loved the most. (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”)

Then Abraham looked and saw a ram caught by his horns in the thicket. (Put your hand to your ear for kids to say, “Say what!?”) So Abraham took the ram and offered it as a sacrifice to God.

Abraham had faith in God and trusted Him completely -- and God provided the lamb -- just as Abraham had told Isaac that He would.

When we put our trust in God, He always provides.

Dear God, help us, like Abraham, trust You fully and have faith that You will provide. In Jesus' name, amen.

WORSHIP THROUGH MUSIC AND GIVING Hymn of Majesty and Power………….…............................. Hymn 10

How Great Thou Art by Stuart K. Hine

1. O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder Thy power throughout the universe displayed Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee How great Thou art, how great Thou art!

2. When through the woods, and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur And see the brook, and feel the gentle breeze Refrain:

3. And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing He bled and died to take away my sin Refrain:

4. When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart Then I shall bow, in humble adoration And then proclaim: "My God, how great Thou art!"

Refrain:

Enclosed is a general offering envelope for your convenience if you wish to mail in

Hymn of Grace and Assurance……..............…..........…..... Hymn 338 How Firm a Foundation by John Rippon’s Selection of Hymns

1. How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,

is laid for your faith in his excellent Word! What more can he say than to you he has said, to you who for refuge to Jesus have fled?

2. "Fear not, I am with you, O be not dismayed;

for I am your God, and will still give you aid; I'll strengthen you, help you, and cause you to stand, upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

3. "When through fiery trials your pathway shall lie,

my grace, all-sufficient, shall be your supply; the flame shall not hurt you; I only design your dross to consume and your gold to refine.

4. "The soul that on Jesus has leaned for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes; that soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I'll never, no never, no never forsake."

He Offered His Son
