Announcements

Gospel Greeting – Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Call to Worship Song – The Risen Christ

Call to Worship – Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.        Psalm 98:1-3

Prayer of Adoration & Invocation

Hymn of Praise – NTH 92 – A Mighty Fortress Is Our God

Reading of the Law – Romans 3:9-20

(Silent Confession of Sin)

Corporate Confession of Sin – Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon – But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. Romans 3:21-25a

Exhortation to Give – For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich. – 2 Cor. 8:9

Sermon – An Exposition of 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5: “Sola Scriptura – Scripture Alone!”

Scripture alone makes us wise for salvation through faith alone in Christ alone:

1. As we hear from the Old Testament (2 Timothy 3:14-15)

2. As we hear from all Scripture – which is God-breathed and profitable. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

3. As we hear from faithful Gospel-preaching. (2 Timothy 4:1-5)

Prayer of Application

Hymn of Response – NTH 140 – O Word of God Incarnate

Benediction – The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace. Numbers 6:24-26
