Sunday Service of Worship
Welcome
Prelude
~God Calls Us to Worship Him~
Call to Worship Psalm 16:7-11; John 11:25-26
Pastor
I bless the LORD who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart
instructs me. I have set the LORD always before me; because he is
at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.
Congregation
Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh
also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let
your holy one see corruption.
Pastor
You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is
fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.
Congregation
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in
me, though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and
believes in me shall never die.”
All
Come, and let us rejoice and worship the LORD in the certain hope of
the resurrection.
Song All Hail the Glorious Christ (CCLI#251645)
Above the earth and heaven’s angels, Over kings and all their plans,
When every rival throne has fallen, You will stand, You will stand.
Chorus:
All hail the glorious Christ, oh, praise the Lord of Life.
For by Your sacrifice, You won the victory.
Now over all You reign, You overwhelmed the grave.
And rose again on high, all hail the glorious Christ.
Above our hearts and our temptations, Your great love has overcome.
Defeating death and condemnation, You have won, You have won.
Chorus
And on that day upon Your mountain
You will gather Your redeemed. And we will feast and give all glory
To the King, to the King. Chorus
Now over all You reign, You overwhelmed the grave.
And rose again on high, all hail the glorious Christ.
Prayer of Worship
~God Renews Us in Christ~
We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need
Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from death to life, and crowned
him Lord of all. We confess that we have been slow of heart to
believe and pursue the heavenly realities promised in Scripture and
made certain and sure by the resurrection and ascension of Christ, His
intercession for us, and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon His
Church. Having often failed to acknowledge Christ’s rule in our lives,
we have gone along with the ways of the world and failed to give him
glory and obedience. Forgive us and create new affections in our
hearts, that we may be your faithful people, seeking the city that is to
come and obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ, who rules
the world and is head of the church, his body. In his name we pray,
Amen
We Silently Confess Our Sins
God’s Grace in Christ Philippians 3:3-11
Song Christ Our Hope in Life and Death (CCLI#251645)
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.
Refrain:
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? Refrain
Unto the grave, what shall 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. Refrain-2X
Now and ever we confess Christ our hope in life and death.
