Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right
hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made
known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the
nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the
house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth; break forth into joyous song
and sing praises!
*OPENING HYMN: (#9) All You That Fear Jehovah's Name
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 – “Follow Me” – Luke 9:23-26
CONFESSION OF SIN Father God, Your ways are holy, perfect, and
altogether righteous. But we have denied You by our thoughts, words, and
actions. We have had unclean hearts. We have not loved You as we should.
We have sought to justify ourselves in the sight of men, but have not sought
Your face. We have not had a right and appropriate fear of You. And our
love for You has been weak.
Please be our helper as we come to You this morning. We come as a
community of faith that You have called together for such a time as this.
We come in the perfect righteousness of Your Son, Jesus Christ. We come
with boldness in Him. We come to You now with both fear and love - with
that fear of You which is the beginning of wisdom - and with true love for
You, because You first loved us. We repent of all known sin, and trust in
Your unfailing love for Your children, In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Romans 8:12-15]
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the
flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit
you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. For all who are led by
the Spirit of God are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of
slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as
sons, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

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.
