THE DIVINE SERVICE
THE TWENTY-FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST
OCTOBER 5, 2008 | 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM
In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, this church opens wide her doors and
offers welcome to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are spiritually weak
and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and
desire victory; to all who are broken and long for healing; to all who are
strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness
and want to be satisfied; and to whomsoever will come.
REFLECTIONS
Purity of heart is to will one thing.
— SØren Kierkegaard —
Anybody who enters into fellowship with Jesus must undergo a
transvaluation of values.
— Helmut Thielicke
—
The world dreams of progress, of power and of the future, but the
disciples meditate on …the coming of the kingdom. To such heights
the world cannot rise. And so the disciples are strangers in the
world, unwelcome guests and disturbers of the peace. No wonder the
world rejects them!
— Dietrich Bonhoeffer
—
We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God.
— Acts 14:22 —

ENTERING INTO GOD’S PRESENCE
WORDS OF ENTRANCE 
From Psalm 24:3-7
Who may ascend the hill of the LORD? Who may stand in his holy
place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who does not lift up his soul to an idol or swear by what is false.
He will receive blessing from the LORD and righteousness from God
his Savior.
Such is the generation of those who seek him, who seek your face, O
God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads, O you gates; be lifted up, you ancient doors,
That the King of glory may come in.
Come, let us adore him!
HYMN OF ENTRANCE 
FOR ALL THE SAINTS
Words: William How | Music: Christopher Miner | CCLI # 2665423
1. For all the saints,
| who from their labors rest,
Who Thee by faith | before the world confessed,
Thy Name, O Jesus, | be forever blessed. Alleluia, Allelu...
2. Thou wast their rock, | their fortress and their might;
Thou, Lord, their captain | in the well fought fight;
Thou, in the darkness | drear, their one true Light. Alleluia,
Allelu...
3. O may Thy soldiers, | faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints | who nobly fought of old, And win with them | the victor's crown of gold. Alleluia,
Allelu...
4. The golden evening
| brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful | warriors comes their rest; Sweet is the calm | of paradise the blessed. Alleluia, Allelu...
5. But lo! There breaks | a yet more glorious day;
The saints triumphant | rise in bright array;
The King of glory | passes on his way, Alleluia, Allelu...
6. From earth's wide bounds, | from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl | streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, | Son, and Holy Ghost, Alleluia, Alleluia!

PRAYER OF ENTRANCE 
Te Deum Laudamus
You are God: we praise you;
You are the Lord: we acclaim you;
You are the eternal Father: all creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company
The noble fellowship
The white-robed army
Throughout the world
of apostles praise you.
of prophets praise you.
of martyrs praise you.
the holy Church acclaims you;
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's
womb.
You overcame the sting of death and opened the kingdom of heaven
to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Bought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints
To glory everlasting. Amen.
WORDS OF WELCOME
CALL TO CONFESSION
From Matthew 6:31-33
So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we
drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' For the pagans run after all
these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these
things will be given to you as well.
SILENT CONFESSION OF SIN
—4—
A Prayer for Reflection:
Gracious Father, we confess the ways that we seek first the kingdom of self: We run
after all sorts of things, not just food, drink, and clothing, but also love, success, riches,
and power. We seek these things first and merely hope that your kingdom and
righteousness can fit neatly around them. The result is a divided heart between your
kingdom and our own. Lord, we can’t see you because our vision is blocked by our own
ambitions, and therefore we don’t long for your kingdom of peace and wholeness and we
certainly don’t want to suffer for it. Lord, have mercy and forgive us. Clear our line of
sight to you. Make us single-minded and whole-hearted for your kingdom and let the
rest of these things find orbit around your will and not our own. Through Jesus Christ,
our Lord. Amen.
WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
From James 4:8 and Colossians 1:13-14
Christians, draw near to God, and he will draw near to you.
Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you
double-minded. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness
and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we
have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
 Our help is in the name of the Lord,
The Maker of heaven and earth.
O Lord, open our lips,
And our mouth will show forth your praise!

I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER
Words & Music: Steve & Vikki Cook | CCLI # 2665423
1. I will glory in my Redeemer | Whose priceless blood has ransomed
me;
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails | And hung him on that
judgment tree.
I will glory in my Redeemer | Who crushed the power of sin and death;
My only Savior before the Holy Judge: | The Lamb who is my
righteousness,
The Lamb who is my righteousness.
2. I will glory in my Redeemer | My life he bought, my love he owns;
I have no longings for another, | I’m satisfied in him alone.
I will glory in my Redeemer: | His faithfulness my standing place;
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me, | My feet are firm, held by His
grace,
My feet are firm, held by His grace.
3. I will glory in my Redeemer | Who carries me on eagles’ wings;
He crowns my life with loving-kindness; | His triumph song I’ll
ever sing.
I will glory in my Redeemer | Who waits for me at gates of gold,
And when he calls me it will be paradise; | His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.
I will glory in my Redeemer | Who crushed the power of sin and death;
My only Savior before the Holy Judge: | The Lamb who is my
righteousness,
The Lamb who is my righteousness.

RECEIVING GOD’S WORD
MINISTRY MOMENT
MOSSY CREEK FELLOWSHIP @ CARSON-NEWMAN COLLEGE
THE OLD TESTAMENT LESSON
HAGGAI 1:2-11 English Standard Version
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: These people say the time has not
yet come to rebuild the house of the LORD." Then the word of the
LORD came by the hand of Haggai the prophet, "Is it a time for you
yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies
in ruins? Now, therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider
your ways. You have sown much, and harvested little. You eat, but
you never have enough; you drink, but you never have your fill.
You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm. And he who earns wages
does so to put them into a bag with holes.
"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Consider your ways. Go up to the
hills and bring wood and build the house, that I may take pleasure
in it and that I may be glorified, says the LORD. You looked for
much, and behold, it came to little. And when you brought it home,
I blew it away. Why? declares the LORD of hosts. Because of my
house that lies in ruins, while each of you busies himself with
his own house. Therefore the heavens above you have withheld the
dew, and the earth has withheld its produce. And I have called for
a drought on the land and the hills, on the grain, the new wine,
the oil, on what the ground brings forth, on man and beast, and on
all their labors."
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
THE GOSPEL LESSON 
MATTHEW 5:1-12 English Standard Version
1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat
down, his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and
taught them, saying:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.
5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for
they shall be satisfied.
7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.
—7—
8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of
God.
10 "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and
utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. 12
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so
they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Christ!

HYMN OF RESPONSE
JESUS, I MY CROSS HAVE TAKEN
Words: Henry Lyte | Music: Bill Moore | CCLI # 2665423
1. Jesus, I my cross have taken, all to leave and follow thee.
Destitute, despised, forsaken, thou from hence my all shall be.
Perish every fond ambition, all I’ve sought or hoped or known.
Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own.
2. Let the world despise and leave me, they have left my Savior,
too.
Human hearts and looks deceive me; thou art not, like them,
untrue.
O while thou dost smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might,
Foes may hate and friends disown me, show thy face and all is
bright.
3. Go, then, earthly fame and treasure, come disaster, scorn and
pain.
In thy service, pain is pleasure, with thy favor, loss is gain
I have called thee Abba Father, I have stayed my heart on thee.
Storms may howl, and clouds may gather; all must work for good to
me.
—8—
4. Haste thee on from grace to glory, armed by faith, and winged by
prayer.
Heaven’s eternal days before thee, God’s own hand shall guide us
there.
Soon shall close thy earthly mission, soon shall pass thy pilgrim
days,
Hope shall change to glad fruition, faith to sight, and prayer to
praise.
DEDICATION OF GIFTS
FEASTING AT GOD’S TABLE
THE PEACE OF CHRIST 
In the ancient church, members of the congregation greeted one another with a sign of
friendship. In the same way, let us welcome one another in the Lord:
May the peace of Christ be always with you!
And also with you!
Let us offer one another a sign of peace.

PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING 
WORDS OF INSTITUTION
PRAYER FOR THE ELEMENTS
INVITATION TO THE TABLE
Those who have professed faith in Christ for the forgiveness of sins within a church body and
who have been baptized are invited to partake of the Lord’s Supper here at Redeemer. We
receive the Lord’s Supper worthily only if we bear in mind that Christ gave his body for the
remission of our sins; it is his merit only that admits us to this table. It is dangerous to eat the
body and blood of the Lord otherwise. For this reason, we ask those who do not meet the above
conditions to refrain from eating. We do encourage you to come forward for prayer from one of
our ministers if you desire it, or to remain seated and to pray and reflect on what you have
heard and seen in the service. The Christian who doubts his standing before God should labor to
have his doubts resolved. This brother or sister in Christ is especially encouraged to eat this
feast that he or she may be further strengthened in the faith.
THE COMMUNION
Please come forward, by row, to receive the bread and the cup. If you are not taking
Communion, you may come forward for prayer, or remain seated. Please note that the center
cup and inner circle contain grape juice, for those who desire it.
We break bread in the name of Father, Son and Holy Spirit!
And we declare the great mystery of faith:
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the feast.
These are the gifts of God for the people of God.
Thanks be to God!

JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL
Words: Charles Wesley | Music: Greg Thompson | CCLI # 2665423
1. Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Savior, hide, ’til life’s storm is past;
Safe into the haven guide; receive my soul at last.
2. Other refuge have I none, I helpless, hang on thee;
Leave, oh leave me not alone, still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed, all help from thee I bring;
Cover my defenseless head in the shadow of thy wing.
3. Thou, O Christ, are all I want, more than all in thee I find;
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the
blind.
Just and holy is thy Name, I am all unrighteousness;
False and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace.
4. Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin;
Let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art, let me take of thee;
Spring thou up within my heart; for all eternity.
MAY THE MIND OF CHRIST MY SAVIOR
Words: Kate B. Wilkinson | Music: A. Cyril Barham-Gould | CCLI # 2665423
1. May the mind of Christ, my Savior, live in me from day to day,
By his love and pow’r controlling all I do and say.
2. May the Word of God dwell richly in my heart from hour to hour,
So that all may see I triumph only through his pow’r.
3. May the peace of God, my Father, rule my life in everything,
That I may be calm to comfort sick and sorrowing.
4. May the love of Jesus fill me, as the waters fill the sea;
Him exalting, self abasing: this is victory.
5. May his beauty rest upon me as I seek to share his life,
And may they see only Jesus, Savior, Crucified.

Attending a seminar obligates you to nothing, but is very helpful in

We encourage you to use this worship resource whether you are a single person, a married couple,
roommates, or a family. TWH is published weekly in the bulletin and can either be viewed or
downloaded from our web site. If you have any comments, feedback or questions, please speak with
Pastor Matt Grimsley (454-1619 | [email protected]).

HYMN OF THE MONTH
I WILL GLORY IN MY REDEEMER
Words & Music: Steve & Vikki Cook | CCLI # 2665423
1. I will glory in my Redeemer | Whose priceless blood has ransomed
me;
Mine was the sin that drove the bitter nails | And hung him on that
judgment tree.
I will glory in my Redeemer | Who crushed the power of sin and death;
My only Savior before the Holy Judge: | The Lamb who is my
righteousness,
The Lamb who is my righteousness.
— 19 —
2. I will glory in my Redeemer | My life he bought, my love he owns;
I have no longings for another, | I’m satisfied in him alone.
I will glory in my Redeemer: | His faithfulness my standing place;
Though foes are mighty and rush upon me, | My feet are firm, held by His
grace,
My feet are firm, held by His grace.
3. I will glory in my Redeemer | Who carries me on eagles’ wings;
He crowns my life with loving-kindness; | His triumph song I’ll
ever sing.
I will glory in my Redeemer | Who waits for me at gates of gold,
And when he calls me it will be paradise; | His face forever to behold,
His face forever to behold.
CLOSING PRAYER
Te Deum Laudamus
You are God: we praise you;
You are the Lord: we acclaim you;
You are the eternal Father: all creation worships you.
To you all angels, all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and seraphim, sing in endless praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company
The noble fellowship
The white-robed army
Throughout the world
of apostles praise you.
of prophets praise you.
of martyrs praise you.
the holy Church acclaims you;
Father, of majesty unbounded,
Your true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
And the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's
womb.
You overcame the sting of death and opened the kingdom of heaven
to all believers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will come and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your people,
Bought with the price of your own blood,
And bring us with your saints
To glory everlasting. Amen.
— A Guide to Community Groups —
What Are Community Groups?
Because Redeemer Church exists to celebrate the gospel of Jesus.
Redeemer’s community groups are regular gatherings (meeting 1 to
3X/month) of Christians and seekers in homes for gospel worship,
gospel community, and gospel service. While these groups may
meet at different times and experience life together in
different ways, the members of each group share the same
purpose: to know and enjoy Christ together and to let others
know Christ’s love through their love for each other (John
13:34-35). After our gathered worship services, Redeemer’s
community groups are the second most important thing we do as a
church.
Why are they important?
There are several reasons why we say community groups are the
second most important aspect of church life at Redeemer:
 In them, we can be close enough to make a difference in each
other’s lives;
 through them, we love & serve one another, the larger church &
the city; and
 by them, we can give others a place to discover the gospel
through word & deed.
How should I go about finding a group?
You should keep several considerations in mind as you look for a
group:
1. Geography can play an important role for you in choosing a
group. (If you live in Karns, it may be a long trek to South
Knoxville and vice versa).
2. Day & Time may play a factor. If you have regular events on
your calendar for certain days of the week, then you will want
to try a group that meets on a day and time that is most
available for you.
3. Group Dynamics can also be an important factor. Many of our
groups are diverse and others are more homogenous. You will
probably want to visit a group 3 to 4 times before making a
conclusion about whether a group’s dynamics fit you or not.
4. The Cross, we pray, will shape your decision. Where are you
needed? Where can you best fit for serving and giving yourself
to others? Do you have gifts and availability to help lead or
host a new group?
