All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name

Ye seed of Israel’s chosen race,ye ransomed from the fall,

join in the everlasting song,and crown Him Lord of all.

Prayer of Invocation

The LORD waitsto be gracious to you,and he exalts himselfto show mercy to you.

For the LORD is a God of justice;blessed are all those

who wait for him.

Isaiah 30:18

Call to Confession of Sin

Our Father in heaven, we confess that we have doubted your gracious love. Instead of living like you delight in us, we avoid you in shame and guilt. Instead of receiving your favor as a gift, we try to earn it with our efforts.

Confession of Sin

Instead of accepting your freedom, we prefer our chains. Instead of pursuing your purposes, we cling to our own agendas. Forgive us. Embrace us. Cleanse us. Heal us. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

(Silent confession)

A people shall dwell in Zion, in Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to you at the sound of your cry. As soon as he hears it, he answers you.

Isaiah 30:19

Assurance of Forgiveness

May the peace of Christ be with you.And also with you.

Concerning the collection for the saints: as I directed the churches of Galatia, so you also are to do. On the first day of every week, each of you is to put something aside and store it up, as he may prosper.

1 Corinthians 16:1-2

Offering

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise him, all creatures here below;Praise him above, ye heav’nly host;Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Prayers of the People

Almighty God, in Jesus Christ you taught us to pray, and to offer our petitions to you in His name.

Guide us by your Holy Spirit, that our prayers for others may serve your will and show your steadfast love; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God of all generations, you formed your church from the despised of the earth and showed them mercy that they might proclaim salvation to all.

Strengthen those you have chosen that they may faithfully endure all trials by which you conform your church to the cross of Christ through Jesus Christ our Lord.

God of comfort, you bear the pain of the world and stand with those who sorrow.

Look with compassion on those who are troubled, cheer them by your word, and bring them healing as a sign of your grace through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Mighty God, whose word we trust, whose Spirit enables us to pray: accept our requests and further those which will bring about your purpose on earth through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sing a psalm of joy!Shout in celebration!Let the tambourine

and the trumpet bringpraises to our King,

for his great salvation.

Text: Psalm 81 (1912 Psalter) • Music: Matthew H. Curl

Sing A Psalm Of Joy

Sing a psalm!Sing a psalm of joy!

Sing a psalm!Shout in celebration!

Sound the festal horn,your thanksgiving voicing.Praise the Lord your God,

as he did command,when from Egypt’s land

you came forth rejoicing.

O my people hear;when I call you, listen.

Choose no foreign god,listen to my plea,

have no god but me;come and be forgiven.

With the finest wheat,I your Lord, would feed you.

Honey from the rock,I would gladly give,

that you all might live;hear me O my people.

In Christ alone my hope is found,he is my light, my strength, my song;this Cornerstone, this solid ground,

firm through the fiercest droughtand storm.

Text & Music: Keith Getty & Stuart Townsend

In Christ Alone

What heights of love,what depths of peacewhen fears are stilled,when strivings cease!

My Comforter, my all in all,here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,fullness of God in helpless babe!

This gift of love and righteousness,scorned by the ones he came to save;

’till on that cross, as Jesus died,the wrath of God was satisfied,for every sin on him was laid;

here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground his body lay,light of the world by darkness slain.Then bursting forth in glorious day,up from the grave he rose again!

And as he stands in victorysin’s curse has lost its grip on me,

for I am his, and he is mine,bought with the precious blood

of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,this is the pow’r of Christ in me;from life’s first cry to final breath,

Jesus commands my destiny.

“In Christ Alone” • Text & Music: Keith Getty & Stuart Townsend

No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,can ever pluck me from his hand;’till he returns or calls me home,

here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand!

The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God!

Genesis 3:1-7

Old Testament Reading

What do you believe?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,Maker of heaven and earth.

The Apostles’ Creed

Confession of Faith

And in Jesus Christ,His only Son, our Lord, who was

conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, dead, and buried.

He descended into hell.

The third dayhe rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand

of God the Father Almighty.From there he shall come

to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,to which indeed you were called in one body.

And be thankful.

(Greet one another with the words,“The peace of Christ be with you.”)

Colossians 3:15

Passing of the Peace

Institution of the Lord’s Table

Therefore let us proclaim the mystery of faith.Christ has died.Christ is risen.

Christ will come again!

Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us.Therefore let us keep the feast.

The gifts of God for the people of God.

(The Mystery of Faith)

Mysterium Fidei

I heard the voice of Jesus say,“Come unto me and rest;

lay down, O weary one, lay downyour soul upon my breast.”

Text: Horatius Bonar • Music: Kingsfold

I Heard The Voice Of Jesus Say

I came to Jesus as I was,weary, worn, and sad;

I found in him my resting placeand he has made me glad.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,“Behold, I freely give

the living water; thirsty one,stoop down, and drink, and live.”

I came to Jesus, and I drank ofthat life-giving stream;

my thirst was quenched,my soul revived,

and now I live in him.

I heard the voice of Jesus say,“I am this dark world’s Light;

look unto me, your morn shall rise,and all your days be bright!”

I looked to Jesus, and I foundin him my Star, my Sun;

and in that light of life I’ll walktill traveling days are done.

How firm a foundation,you saints of the Lord,

is laid for your faithin his excellent word!

Text: Rippon’s Selection of Hymns (1787)

Music: Trad. American Melody

How Firm A Foundation

What more can he saythan to you he has said,

to you who for refugeto Jesus have fled?

“Fear not, I am with you,O be not dismayed;for I am your God,

and will still give you aid;

“I’ll strengthen you, help you,and cause you to stand,upheld by my righteous,

omnipotent hand.

“When through the deep watersI call you to go,

the rivers of sorrowshall not overflow;

“for I will be with you,your troubles to bless,

and sanctify to youyour deepest distress.

“When through fiery trialsyour pathway shall lie,my grace, all sufficient,shall be your supply;

“the flame shall not hurt you;I only design,

your dross to consumeand your gold to refine.

“The soul that on Jesushas leaned for repose,

I will not, I will notdesert to his foes;

“that soul, though all hellshould endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never,no never forsake.”
