THE CALL TO WORSHIP from Psalm 16:7-11

Minister: I bless the Lord who gives me counsel; in the night also my heart instructs me. I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken.

People: Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices;

Minister: For You will not abandon my soul!

People: You make known to me the path of life; in Your presence there is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Congregational Prayer of Confession ALL: Almighty God, You have raised Jesus from the grave and crowned Him Lord of all.

We confess that we have not always bowed before Him or acknowledged We confess that we have not always bowed before Him or acknowledged His rule in our lives. We have gone along with the way of the world and failed to give Him glory.

Forgive us and raise us from sin, that we may be Your faithful people, Obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who rules the world and is head of the church, His body who rules the world and is head of the church, His body. Lord Jesus, hear our prayers.

SILENT PRAYERS OF THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel (Joel 2:12ff)

Minister: "Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Rend your heart and not your garments.

Return to the LORD your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love, and he relents from sending calamity.

God of Grace and God of Glory Hymn 435

God of grace and God of glory, On Thy people pour Thy pow’r; Crown Thine ancient Church’s story, Bring her bud to glorious flow’r. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage For the facing of this hour, For the facing of this hour.

Lo. the hosts of evil round us Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways Lo! the hosts of evil round us Scorn Thy Christ, assail His ways! From the fears that long have bound us, Free our hearts to faith and praise. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage For the living of these days, For the living of these days.

Cure Thy children’s warring madness; Bend our pride to Thy control Cure Thy children’s warring madness; Bend our pride to Thy control. Shame our wanton, selfish gladness Rich in things and poor in soul. Grant us wisdom grant us courage, Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal Lest we miss Thy kingdom’s goal.

Set our feet on lofty places; Gird our lives that they may be Armored with all Christ-like graces In the fight to set men free. Grant us wisdom, Grant us courage That we fail not man nor Thee! That we fail not man nor Thee!

The Proclamation of Scripture

Hebrews 4:13 Easy-to-Read Version (ERV) 13 Nothing in all the world can be hidden from God. He can clearly see all things. Everything is open before him. And to him we must explain the way we have lived.

Minister: This is the good news of the gospel! People: Thanks Be to God!

Prayer of Gratitude

Jesus Paid It All Hymn # 305

I hear the Savior say; “ Thy strength indeed is small, Child of weakness, watch and pray; Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find Thy pow’r, and Thine alone Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone.

Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I Where-by Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb

Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.

And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, “Jesus died my soul to save,” My lips shall still repeat

Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe Jesus paid it all; All to Him I owe. Sin had left a crimson stain; He washed it white as snow.
