"This
is the day that the Lord has made,
let

Psalm 118:24
*CALL TO WORSHIP:

Jesse, who shall stand as a signal for the peoples- of him shall the
nations inquire, and his resting place shall be glorious.
*OPENING HYMN: (#76) Praise, My

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 Ninth
Commandment
CONFESSION OF SIN [Based upon
Romans 3]
Our great and glorious God, You who
know and judge the secrets of every human heart; We do acknowledge
and confess that we have followed our father Adam in revolting
against your commandments. We have turned from your ways and from
your blessed Presence, and have reaped the misery of turning away
from You, the very Author of life. None of us is righteous, no not
one; None of us has understanding, none of us seeks God; Our throats
are opened graves; we use our tongues to deceive; Our mouths are full
of cursing and bitterness; Our feet are swift to shed blood; ruin and
misery are in our paths, and the way of peace we have not known;
There is no fear of God before our eyes. We appeal to you, through
your great mercy made manifest in Jesus Christ Your obedient Son,
that you would forgive our sins for His sake; That you would make
many righteous through His one act of obedience; That where our sin
has increased, Your grace would abound. Just as Christ was raised
from the dead by your glory, so also may we walk in newness of life.
Amen.
DECLARATION OF PARDON [Isaiah
55:7]
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the
unrighteous man his thoughts;
let him return to the Lord, that he may
have compassion on him,
and to our God, for he will abundantly
pardon.

*CONFESSION OF FAITH The
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.
