Morning and Evening services conducted on October 25 with Mount Gambier Presbyterian Church.

Hebrews chapter 5 challenges disciples of Jesus to grow in their understanding of who Jesus is to enable them to always find their security in the only person who can be humanity’s mediator with God, and to prevent them from going astray.

Jeremiah 33 begins with repetitions of the promises God had revealed about the judgment and restoration of his people. In repeating these promises God reveals his compassion toward his people, who he knows will doubt them due to the situations in which they will find themselves and because they seem too good to be true. These repeated promises also bring focus on the scope of God’s grace as being for all peoples.

Praise The Lord / Psalm 150 is by Matt Boswell and Matt Papa under the patronage of Getty Music.
These two have matured into great composers of congregational songs.

The lyrics:
1.
You made the starry hosts
You traced the mountain peaks
You paint the evening sky with wonders
The earth, it is Your throne
From desert to the sea
All nature testifies Your splendor
Chorus.
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Sing His greatness
All creation
Praise the Lord
Raise your voice
You heights and all you depths
From furthest east to west
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord
2.
You reached into the dust
In love, Your Spirit breathed
You formed us in Your very likeness
To know Your wondrous works
To tell Your mighty deeds
To join the everlasting chorus
Chorus.
3.
Let symphonies resound
Let drums and choirs ring out
All heaven hear the sound of worship
Let every nation bring
Its honors to the King
A roar of harmonies eternal
Final Chorus.
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
Sing His greatness
All creation
Praise the Lord
Raise your voice
You heights and all you depths
From furthest east to west
You distant burning stars
All creatures near and far
From sky to sea to shore
Sing out forevermore
Let everything that has breath
Praise the Lord

Westminster Shorter Catechism – Lord’s Day 43

Q & A 96
Q What is the Lord’s Supper?
A The Lord’s Supper is a sacrament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to Christ’s appointment, his death is showed forth;1 and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment, and growth in grace.2

Q & A 97
Q What is required for the worthy receiving of the Lord’s Supper?
A It is required of them that would worthily partake of the Lord’s Supper, that they examine themselves of their knowledge to discern the Lord’s body, of their faith to feed upon him, of their repentance, love, and new obedience; lest, coming unworthily, they eat and drink judgment to themselves.*3
