Prelude

Opening Song – Behold our God

Announcements

Gospel Greeting –

To the elect lady and her children, whom I love in truth, and not only I, but also all who

know the truth, because of the truth that abides in us and will be with us forever: Grace,

mercy, and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ the Father's

Son, in truth and love. - 2 John 1:1-3

Call to Worship Song – Purify my Heart

Call to Worship –

Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre! He covers the

heavens with clouds; he prepares rain for the earth; he makes grass grow on the hills. He

gives to the beasts their food, and to the young ravens that cry. - Ps. 147:7-9

Prayer of Adoration & Invocation

Hymn of Praise –NTH 604 - Rejoice, Ye Pure in Heart

Reading of the Law – The Ten Commandments and the Greatest Commandment

(Silent Confession of Sin)

Corporate Confession of Sin –

Almighty, everlasting God, for our many sins we justly deserve eternal condemnation. In

Your great mercy, you sent your beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, who won for us

forgiveness of sins and everlasting righteousness. Grant us true repentance that, dead to

sin, we may be raised up by faith in Your life-giving Gospel. Grant us your Holy Spirit that

we may be ever thankful and live a faithful and godly life in your service; through Jesus

Christ, our Lord.  Amen.

Assurance of Pardon –

But if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and

the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. If we say we have no sin, we deceive

ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to

forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. - 1 John 1:7-9

Exhortation to Give –

Now 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, so that there will be no collecting when I come. And when

I arrive, I will send those whom you accredit by letter to carry your gift to Jerusalem.
