Worship Theme: Preaching Christ


	PRELUDE	Mrs. Julie Burck


	ACTIVITIES & CONCERNS OF THE CHURCH


	MINUTE FOR MINISTRY	Deacon Paul Killingsworth


	PREPARING IN STILLNESS


	WELCOMING THE ASSEMBLY
	PASTOR: The Lord be with you! PEOPLE: And also with you!


•	CONFESSING OUR SINS PUBLICLY
	My Father, when You are angry towards me for my wrongs, I try to pacify You by abstaining from future sin; but teach me that I cannot satisfy Your law, that this effort is a resting in my right-eousness, that only Christ’s righteousness, ready-made, already finished, is fit for that purpose; that Your chastising me for my sins is not that I should try to reform, but only that I may be more humbled and separated from sin, by being reconciled, and made righteous in Christ by faith. Humble me for not being as holy as I should be, or as holy as I might be through Christ, for You are all, and to possess You is to possess all. Amen./p>


•	CONFESSING OUR SINS PRIVATELY


•	ASSURANCE OF PARDON	1 John 2:1-2
	PASTOR: Hear the promises of God to those who truly repent of their sins and trust in Christ: If anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world. Now, lift up your hearts! PEOPLE: We lift them up to the Lord!


•	DRAWING NEAR TO WORSHIP	Hymn 80
	Lord, with Glowing Heart I’d Praise Thee


•	CALL TO WORSHIP	from Psalm 46
	LEADER: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. PEOPLE: Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging. LEADER: The LORD Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. ALL: Come and see the works of the LORD, the desolations he has brought on the earth. He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear, he burns the shields with fire.


•	RESPONDING IN SONG	Hymn 92
	A Mighty Fortress Is Our God


•	THANKING GOD FOR HIS PRESENCE
	PASTOR: We give thanks to you, Lord, for you are good. ALL: Your love endures forever. Amen.


•	CONFESSING OUR FAITH	Heidelberg Catechism, 87-88
	LEADER: Can those be saved who do not turn to God from their ungrateful and impenitent walk of life? PEOPLE: By no means. Scripture says that no unchaste person, idolater, adulterer, thief, greedy person, drunkard, slanderer, robber, or the like shall inherit the kingdom of God. LEADER: What is the true repentance or conversion of man? PEOPLE: It is the dying of the old nature and the coming to life of the new.

Glory, glory, glory, glory, while eternal ages run. Glory, glory, glory, glory, Great Jehovah, Three in One, Great Jehovah, Three in One. Glory be to Him who loved us, washed us from each spot and stain; Glory be to Him who bought us, made us kings with Him to reign, Made us kings with Him to reign! Glory, glory, glory, glory, to the Lamb that once was slain. Glory, glory, glory, glory, made us kings with Him to reign, Made us kings with him to reign. Glory, blessing, praise eternal! Thus the choir of angels sings, “Honor, riches, pow’r, dominion!” Thus its praise creation brings, Thus its praise creation brings. Glory, glory, glory, glory, glory to the King of kings. Glory, glory, glory, glory, thus its praise creation brings, Thus its praise creation brings. (Repeat last chorus) Words: Horatius Bonar; Music: Matt Huesmann © 1999 Matt Huesmann Music.

Oh, You rescue the souls of men. You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore, You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for, Oh, our hearts always hunger for. Counselor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace. You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way. Oh, we hopelessly lost the way. Repeat Chorus Almighty, infinite Father, faithfully loving Your own. Here in our weakness You find us falling before Your throne. Oh, we’re falling before Your throne.

	PASTOR: Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. ALL: *The Lord is King forever! Hallelujah! Amen.*
