He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the

churches. To the one who conquers I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, with a new name written on the stone that no one knows except the one who receives it.

Welcome

UBC exists because God, in his infinite love, sent his Son Jesus Christ to live and die in the place of sinners. On the third day Jesus rose bodily from the grave, once and for all victorious over sin and death. Now, through Jesus Christ and by the power of the Holy Spirit, God is reconciling this broken world to himself. We gather in that great hope. We pray it’s your hope as well, and that you’re encouraged during your time with us.

Note on Children

Parents, we encourage having children in the service, but if they do get restless, televisions throughout the foyer and the Legacy Room both carry a live stream of our service. A room for nursing mothers is located on the 4th floor of the Main Hall. This room is available at all times and includes a live stream of our service as well. We also offer classes during the main service for all nursery through preschool-aged children. You can check your child in at the first-floor Randall Hall doors near the front entrance fountain.

Church Membership

For those interested in membership at UBC, we regularly offer a Discovery Class. In this class, you’ll learn what the Bible says about church membership, what we believe as a church, and how we seek to live out the commands of God’s Word. You can find a schedule and sign up for upcoming classes on our website.

“A Mighty Fortress” Words & Music by Matt Boswell, Frederick Hedge, Martin Luther ©2014 Doxology & Theology Music CCLI License #209556

A mighty fortress is our God, A bulwark never failing

Our helper He amid the flood, Of mortal ills prevailing For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe

His craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate On earth is not his equal

Did we in our own strength confide our striving would be losing Were not the right man on our side

The man of God's own choosing Dost ask who that may be; Christ Jesus it is He

The Lord of Hosts His name, from age to age the same And He must win the battle

And though this world with devils filled Should threaten to undo us

We will not fear for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us

The prince of darkness grim; we tremble not for him His rage we can endure, for lo his doom is sure

One little word shall fell him

A mighty fortress a rock unfailing The King of Glory forever amen

Through endless ages enthroned in praises The King of Glory forever amen

That word above all earthly pow'rs; no thanks to them abideth The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him who with us sideth

Let goods and kindred go; this mortal life also The body they may kill, God's truth abideth still

His kingdom is forever

Chorus

Call to Worship | Psalm 145:14-18 All Scripture readings are taken from the English Standard Version.

14 The LORD upholds all who are falling and raises up all who are bowed down. 15 The eyes of all look to you, and you give them their food in due season. 16 You open your hand; you satisfy the desire of every living thing. 17 The LORD is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works. 18 The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth.

“Speak O Lord” Words & Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend ©2005 Thankyou Music CCLI License #209556

Speak O Lord as we come to You

To receive the food of Your holy word Take Your truth plant it deep in us

Shape and fashion us in Your likeness That the light of Christ might be seen today

In our acts of love and our deeds of faith Speak O Lord and fulfill in us

All Your purposes for Your glory

Teach us Lord full obedience Holy reverence true humility

Test our thoughts and our attitudes In the radiance of Your purity

Cause our faith to rise Cause our eyes to see

Your majestic love and authority Words of power that can never fail Let their truth prevail over unbelief

Speak O Lord and renew our minds

Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us Truths unchanged from the dawn of time

That will echo down through eternity And by grace we'll stand on Your promises And by faith we'll walk as You walk with us

Speak O Lord till Your church is built And the earth is filled with Your glory

“Before The Throne of God Above” Words by Charitie Lees Bancroft and Vikki Cook, Music Vikki Cook ©1997 Sovereign Grace Worship CCLI License #209556

Before the throne of God above I have a strong and perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is Love Who ever lives and pleads for me My name is graven on His hands My name is written on His heart

I know that while in heav'n He stands No tongue can bid me thence depart No tongue can bid me thence depart

Hallelujah, Hallelujah Praise the One, Risen Son of God

When Satan tempts me to despair And tells me of the guilt within

Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin

Because the sinless Saviour died My sinful soul is counted free For God the Just is satisfied

To look on Him and pardon me To look on Him and pardon me

Chorus

Behold Him there the risen Lamb My perfect spotless righteousness

The great unchangeable I Am The King of glory and of grace One with Himself I cannot die

My soul is purchased by His blood My life is hid with Christ on high

With Christ my Saviour and my God With Christ my Saviour and my God

Chorus

25When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, “Rabbi, when did you come here?” 26Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you are seeking me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. 27Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on him God the Father has set his seal.” 28Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” 29Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.” 30So they said to him, “Then what sign do you do, that we may see and believe you? What work do you perform? 31Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’” 32Jesus then said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but my Father gives you the true bread from heaven. 33For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.” 34They said to him, “Sir, give us this bread always.” 35Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. 36But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. 37All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out. 38For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me. 39And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day. 40For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.” 41So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” 42They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” 43Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. 44No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. 45It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.’ Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me— 46not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. 47Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life. 48I am the bread of life. 49Your fathers ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died. 50This is the bread that comes down from heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. And the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

“Christ Our Hope In Life and Death” Words and Music by Jordan Kauflin | Keith Getty | Matt Boswell | Matt Papa | Matthew Merker © 2020 Getty Music Hymns and Songs CCLI License #209556

What is our hope in life and death Christ alone Christ alone

What is our only confidence That our souls to Him belong

Who holds our days within His hand What comes apart from His command

And what will keep us to the end The love of Christ in which we stand

O sing hallelujah Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

What truth can calm the troubled soul God is good God is good

Where is His grace and goodness known In our great Redeemer's blood

Who holds our faith when fears arise Who stands above the stormy trial

Who sends the waves that bring us nigh Unto the shore the rock of Christ

Chorus

Unto the grave what will we sing Christ He lives Christ He lives

And what reward will heaven bring Everlasting life with Him

There we will rise to meet the Lord Then sin and death will be destroyed

And we will feast in endless joy When Christ is ours forevermore

Chorus
