To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest;to all who mourn and long for comfort;to all who struggle and desire victory;
to all who sin and need a Savior;to all who are strangers and want fellowship;
to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness;and to all who will come, this church opens wide her doors and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Prayer of Adoration
Profession of Faith The Rev. Tommy Overton 8:00
The Rev. Brent Baker 9:30/11:00
Minister. What is your only comfort in life and in death? People: That I belong— body and soul, in life and in death— not to myself, but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who at the cost of His own blood has fully paid for all my sins and has completely freed me from the dominion of the devil; that He protects me so well that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that everything must fit His purpose for my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him. Heidelberg Catechism, Question 1

Hymn “The Power of the Cross” Getty/Townend
The Sacrament of Baptism 11:00
Patrick YehJenny ChenZoe YehRay YehOlivia Yeh
Public Confession of Sin
Our Father, we praise You that in Christ we may see the fruit of the Spirit manifested in all of its fullness, that Jesus embodies perfect love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control. O Lord, would that we were more like Him! Our pride and self-centeredness taint everything we do.

We define love on our own terms, with a distinct bias toward serving ourselves. We are programmed by our culture and the natural disposition of our hearts to look out for ourselves rather than love our neighbor.Our joy is conditioned on good health, favorable circumstances, or other people’s perception of us rather than our identity in Christ.Forgive us, O God, and set us apart for Your service, and manifest in us righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.
Private Confession
Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 5.1
Friends, believe the good news of the Gospel: in Jesus Christ we are forgiven!

The Greeting of Peace
Minister: Look to Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. The peace of the Lord be with you always. Hebrews 12.2
People: And also with you.

Kingdom Moment: Honoring Our Veterans 8:00/9:30/11:00
9:30 Celebrating Veteran and Elder Emeritus Arthur Wood’s 100th Birthday
The Scripture Reading Hebrews 3.1-6
Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
2 who was faithful to Him who appointed Him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God’s house as a servant, to testify to the things
that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a Son. And we are His house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.
The Sermon “We are His house, if....” Mr. Williams 8:00 Mr. Davis 9:30/11:00
The Great Thanksgiving 8:00
Minister: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit.Minister: Lift up your hearts!People: We lift them up to the Lord!Minister: Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.Minister: It is right and good and a joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks unto You, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty,
Everlasting God. People: Therefore, with angels and archangels, and with all the
company of heaven, we laud and magnify Your glorious Name; evermore praising You, and singing:

Order of Worship for the Home – The Week of November 10, 2019
Praise
Call to Worship: (everyone together)
Splendor and majesty are before Him; strength and beauty are in His sanctuary. Ascribe to the LORD, O families of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength! Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come into His courts! Worship the LORD in the splendor of holiness; tremble before Him, all the earth! Psalm 96.6-9

Please see the hymn on page two.
Hearing and Learning God’s Word
Scripture Reading: Hebrews 3.1-6 (one person read the Scripture aloud)
Questions for Discussion: (may be answered in one worship time or spread over several times)
1. How does the author of Hebrews identify the people he is writing to? (see 3.1) What is significant about this identity? 2. In comparing Jesus to Moses, how are they similar and how are they different according to this passage?3. What does the author mean when he says, “And we are His house…”? (see 3.6)
Scripture Memory for November: (memorize this passage of Scripture this month) Hebrews 2.18 For because He Himself has suffered when tempted, He is able to help those who are being tempted.
Prayer
Prayer: (saying together) 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. Amen.
