Call to Worship
Pastor
Let every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in
the sea, and all that is in them, say,
All
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and
honor and glory and might forever and ever!”
Hymn Blessing and honor and Glory and Power (300)
We Confess Our Faith Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth, of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten
of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God
of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the
Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our
salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy
Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also
for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third
day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into
heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and he shall
come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose
kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the
Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets;
and we believe in one holy catholic* and apostolic church; we
acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for
the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayer of Worship
~God Renews Us in Christ~
We Corporately Confess Our Sins 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
Hymn Jesus, My Great High Priest (CCLI#251645)
Jesus, my great High Priest offered his blood and died.
My guilty conscience seeks no sacrifice beside.
His powerful blood did once atone,
And now it pleads before the throne;
And now it pleads before the throne.
Chorus: Now I approach the throne, and I have confidence.
Jesus, my great High Priest offered his blood and died.
Now I approach the throne, and I have confidence.
Jesus, my great High Priest offered his blood and died--
For me.
To this dear Surety’s hand will I commit my cause;
He answers and fulfills His Father’s broken laws.
Behold my soul at freedom set; My Surety paid the dreadful debt;
My Surety paid the dreadful debt. Chorus:
My Advocate appears for my defense on high;
The Father bows his ears and lays his thunder by.
Not all that hell or sin can say, Shall turn his heart, his love, away,
Shall turn his heart, his love, away.
Should all the hosts of death and powers of hell unknown,
Put their most dreadful forms of rage and mischief on,
I shall be safe, for Christ displays
His conquering power and guardian grace;
His conquering power and guardian grace. Chorus:
The Grace of God in Christ 1 Peter 1:13-25
Prayer
~God Instructs Us with His Word~
Song Show Us Christ (CCLI#251645)
Prepare our hearts, O God, help us to receive.
Break the hard and stony ground, help our unbelief.
Plant Your Word down deep in us, cause it to bear fruit,
Open up our ears to hear, lead us in Your truth.
Chorus: Show us Christ, show us Christ,
O God, reveal Your glory through the preaching of Your Word
Until every heart confesses Christ is Lord.
Your Word is living light upon our darkened eyes,
Guards us through temptations, makes the simple wise.
Your Word is food for famished ones, freedom for the slave,
Riches for the needy soul, come speak to us today. Chorus
Bridge: Where else can we go, Lord, where else can we go?
You have the words of eternal life. Where else can we go, Lord?
Where else can we go? You have the words of eternal life. Chorus
