The gospel can be compared to a diamond with radiance that sparkles and we are going to turn that diamond and focus on the themes of reconciliation and redemption, two themes in the book of Ephesians that really shine!
Exodus 15
© 2000 Hans Plum CCLI 1888005
Who among the gods is like you, Oh Lord?
Who is like you, Majestic in holiness?
Awesome in glory and working your wonders
Who among the gods is like you, Oh Lord?
I will sing to the Lord for he is highly exalted
The Lord is my strength and my song
I will sing to the Lord for he is highly exalted
He has become my salvation
There is none like You! There is none like You!
Our Great Need—Psalm 74:1-2
O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? Remember your congregation, which you have purchased of old, which you have redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage! Remember Mount Zion, where you have dwelt.
Hallelujah! What a Savior

“Man of Sorrows!” what a name
For the Son of God, who came
Ruined sinners to reclaim.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
In my place condemned He stood;
Sealed my pardon with His blood.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Guilty, vile, and helpless we;
Spotless Lamb of God was He;
“Full atonement!” can it be?
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Lifted up was He to die;
“It is finished!” was His cry;
Now in Heav’n exalted high.
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
When He comes, our glorious King,
All His ransomed home to bring,
Then anew His song we’ll sing:
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Reconciliation— Romans 5:9-11
Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life. More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.
There Is a Fountain Filled with Blood

There is a fountain filled with blood drawn from Immanuel’s veins;
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains:
Lose all their guilty stains, lose all their guilty stains,
And sinners plunged beneath that flood lose all their guilty stains.
The dying thief rejoiced to see that fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away:
Washed all my sins away, washed all my sins away,
And there have I, as vile as he, washed all my sins away.
E’er since by faith I saw the stream your flowing wounds supply
Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die
And shall be till I die, and shall be till I die
Redeeming love has been my theme and shall be till I die
Then in a nobler, sweeter song I will sing your power to save
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave
Lies silent in the grave, lies silent in the grave
When this poor lisping, stammering tongue lies silent in the grave
Dear dying Lamb, your precious blood shall never lose its power,
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more:
Be saved to sin no more, be saved to sin no more,
Till all the ransomed church of God be saved to sin no more.
Redemption— Luke 1:68-75
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David, as he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets from of old, that we should be saved from our enemies and from the hand of all who hate us; to show the mercy promised to our fathers and to remember his holy covenant,
the oath that he swore to our father Abraham, to grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve him without fear, in holiness and righteousness before him all our days.
Come and Welcome

From the cross uplifted high where the Savior deigns to die
What melodious sounds I hear bursting on my ravished ear
Love’s redeeming work is done. Come and welcome, sinner, come
Sprinkled now with blood the throne. Why beneath thy burdens groan
On my pierced body laid justice owns the ransom paid
Bow the knee and kiss the Son. Come and welcome, sinner, come
Spread for thee the festal board. See with richest dainties stored
To thy Father’s bosom pressed yet again a child confessed
Never from His house to roam. Come and welcome, sinner, come
Soon the days of life shall end. Lo, I come, your Savior, Friend
Safe your spirit to convey to the realms of endless day
Up to my eternal home. Come and welcome, sinner, come.
Come and welcome, sinner, come
All Things New
© 2010 Clint Wells, Horatius Bonar, Red Mountain Music CCLI 1888005
Come, Lord and tarry not; bring the long-looked-for day;
O why these years of waiting here, these ages of delay?
Come, for Thy saints still wait; daily ascends their sigh:
The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come”: Dost Thou not hear the cry?
O come, and make all things new; come and make all things new.
O come, and make all things new. Build up this ruined earth;
Come, and make all things new.
Come, for creation groans, impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of woe, these ages of delay.
Come, for love waxes cold, its steps are faint and slow;
Faith now is lost in unbelief; hope’s lamp burns dim and low.
Closing Song of Joy
The Father’s Love
© 2009 Sovereign Grace Worship. Music & words: Joel Sczebel. CCLI#1888005
How has the sinner been forgiven?
How has the rebel been made clean
Or blinded eyes been made to see?
How have the orphans been adopted
Who hated Your love and ran from grace
Despised and rejected all Your ways
How wonderful the Father’s love, the Father’s love for us!
That He would send His only Son to come and rescue us!
He has saved us, called us blameless
Guides us now and will sustain us
Oh how wonderful the Father’s love!
Your mercy floods our lives with kindness
Your grace has colored all we see
And You have promised not to leave
You freely give Your Spirit to us
So we can be sure we’re sons of God
And rest in the hope of what’s to come
Though sufferings may fill our lives
We’re confident we’re heirs with Christ
And so we cry, “Abba, Father”
Benediction – 2 Corinthians 13:14
The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of
the Holy Spirit be with you all.
