*CALL TO WORSHIP:
Malachi 1:11 For from the rising of the sun to its setting my name
will be great among the nations, and in every place incense will be
offered to my name, and a pure offering. For my name will be great
among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.
*OPENING HYMN:
(#193) Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
PRAYER OF ADORATION AND INVOCATION
*THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and
forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation. But deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.
*GLORIA PATRI (#735)
THE LAW OF GOD – The Tenth
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN
[Based upon Deuteronomy 6 and Hebrews 7]
O
great and everlasting God, Who dwells in unapproachable light, Who
searches and knows the thoughts and intentions of the heart; we
confess that we have not loved you with all our heart, nor with all
our soul, nor with all our mind, nor with all our strength; nor our
neighbors as ourselves. We have loved what we ought not to have
loved; we have coveted what is not ours; we have not been content
with Your provisions for us. We have complained in our hearts about
our family, about our friends, about our health, about our
occupations, about Your church, and about our trials. We have sought
our security in those things which perish, rather than in You, the
Everlasting God. Chasten, cleanse, and forgive us, through Jesus
Christ, who is able for all time to save us who approach You through
him, since he always lives to make intercession for us. In Jesus
Name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON
[Colossians 2:13-14] And you, who were dead in your trespasses and
the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him,
having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of
debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside,
nailing it to the cross.

Heidelberg Catechism Question 1
Q:
What is your only comfort in life and death?
A:
That I am not my own, but belong with body and soul, both in life and
in death, to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ. He has fully paid for
all my sins with His precious blood, and has set me free from all the
power of the devil. He also preserves me in such a way that without
the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;
indeed, all things must work together for my salvation. Therefore, by
His Holy Spirit He also assures me of eternal life and makes me
heartily willing and ready from now on to live for Him.
