Call to Worship   

From Revelation 19:5-7

 Pastor:  Preserve me, O God, for in you I

  take refuge. 

 People: I say to the Lord, “You are my

  Lord; I have no good apart

  from you.” 

 Pastor: Let your saints say, “I bless the    LORD who gives me counsel; in

  the night also my heart instructs

  me.”

 People: I have set the Lord always before

  me; because he is at my right

  hand, I shall not be shaken. 

 Pastor: Let your saints say, “I bless the

  Lord who gives me counsel; in

  the night also my heart instructs

  me.”

 People: Therefore my heart is glad, and

  my whole being rejoices; 

  my flesh also dwells secure.

 Pastor: For you will not abandon my soul   to Sheol, or let your holy one see

  corruption.

 All:  You make known to me the path

  of life; in your presence there is

  fullness of joy; at your right hand

  are pleasures forevermore.

SONG of ADORATION       “Holy Forever”      

 

A thousand generations, falling down in worship

To sing the song of ages to the Lamb

And all who've gone before us and all who will believe

Will sing the song of ages to the Lamb

 

Your name is the highest; Your name is the greatest

Your name stands above them all

All thrones and dominions, All powers and positions

Your name stands above them all

 

And the angels cry, Holy; All creation cries, Holy

You are lifted high, Holy; Holy forever!

 

If you've been forgiven and if you've been redeemed

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

If you walk in freedom and if you bear His name

Sing the song forever to the Lamb

We'll sing the song forever and amen!

 

And the angels cry, Holy; All creation cries, Holy

You are lifted high, Holy; Holy forever!

Hear Your people sing, Holy; to the King of Kings, Holy

You will always be, Holy; Holy forever!

Confession and Assurance

READING of GOD’S LAW

    Hear God’s Law, His Will for Your Life, from Deuteronomy 6:4-9

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.

You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and    

with all your soul and with all your might.

And these words that I command you today shall be on

  your heart.

You shall teach them diligently to your children,

 and shall talk of them when you sit in your house,

 and when you walk by the way,

 and when you lie down, and when you rise.

You shall bind them as a sign on your hand,

 and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on

  your gates.

This is the Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

Life of Worship

PROFESSION of FAITH  

From I Cor 15:3-5, Phil 2:6-11

We believe the Truth of the Gospel, these things being of first importance:

That Christ, though in His very essence God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures; He was buried; He was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.

Therefore God has highly exalted Him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Amen. ◆

Our Father which art in heaven,
