CONFESSING OUR SINS

 
 

ALL: O living God, I bless You that I see the worst of my heart as well as the best of it, that I can sorrow for those sins that carry me from You. Often my sin is to look on my faults and be discouraged, or to look on my good and be puffed up. Every event and circumstance of my life will be dealt with—the sins of my youth, my secret sins, the sins of abusing You, of disobeying Your Word, and the sins of violating my conscience. All will be judged and after judgment there will be peace and rest, life and service, employment and enjoyment, for Your children. O God, keep me in this faith, and ever-looking for Christ’s return. Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON

Psalm 32:5
 

PASTOR: Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: I acknowledged my sins to You, and my iniquity I did not hide; I said, “I will confess my transgression to the Lord”; and You forgave the guilt of my sin. Now, lift up your hearts!

Now, lift up your hearts!

PEOPLE: We lift them up to the Lord!

DRAWING NEAR TO WORSHIP

 

Crown Him With Many Crowns - Hymn 295

CALL TO WORSHIP

Heidelberg Catechism 1
 

PASTOR: What is your only comfort, in life and in death?

PEOPLE: That I belong—body and soul, in life and in death—not to myself but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who at the cost of his own blood has fully paid for all my sins and has completely freed me from the dominion of the devil; that he protects me so well that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that everything must fit his purpose for my salvation. Therefore, by his Holy Spirit, he also assures me of eternal life, and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.

PREPARING TO HEAR GOD'S WORD

Ensemble & Congregation
 

Under the blood

O the blood of the Passover Lamb is applied to the door of my life,
No power of darkness could ever withstand the force of the blood sacrifice.
Though Satan will bring accusations, I let him know right where I stand,
For now there is no condemnation, I’m under the blood of the Lamb!

I’m under the blood of the Lamb that covers the guilt of my sin
By the mercy of God, holy and righteous I stand;
I’m under the blood of the Lamb,
I’m safe and secure from the enemy’s plan,
No weapon formed against me can stand, I’m under the blood of the Lamb.

You Have Been Good

O Lord, You have been good, You have been faithful to all generations
O Lord, Your steadfast love and tender mercy have been our salvation.

For by Your hand we have been fed, and by Your Spirit we have been led.
O Lord, You have been good, You have been faithful to all generations.

For by Your hand we have been fed, and by Your Spirit we have been led.
O Lord, Almighty God, Father unchanging, upright and holy.

O Lord, You have been good, You have been faithful, You have been good.

RECEIVING GOD'S BLESSING

Ephesians 3:16-21  
 

PASTOR:I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge— that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations.

ALL: The Lord is King forever! Hallelujah! Amen.
