Announcements

Gospel Greeting – Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh, and since we have a great high priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.    Hebrews 10:19-22

Call to Worship Song – Gloria Patri - NTH 734

Call to Worship –Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you! Let the nations be glad and sing for joy, and you judge the peoples with equity and guide the nations upon (the) earth.        Psalm 67:3-4

Prayer of Adoration & Invocation

Hymn of Praise – How Firm a Foundation - NTH 94

Reading of the Law – Exodus 20: 1-17

(Silent Confession of Sin)

Corporate Confession of Sin – “Grant Almighty God, that as we are prone to every kind of wickedness and are easily led away to imitate it, when there is any excuse for going astray and any opportunity is offered - O Grant, that being strengthened by the help of Your Spirit, we may continue in purity of faith, and that what we have learned concerning You, that You are a Spirit, may so profit us, that we may worship You in spirit and with a sincere heart, and never turn aside after the corruptions of the world, nor think we can deceive You; but may we so devote our souls and bodies to You, that our life may in every part of it testify, that we are a pure and holy sacrifice to You through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.”  – John Calvin

Assurance of Pardon – Now to the one who works, his wages are not counted as a gift but as his due. And to the one who does not work but trusts him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is counted as righteousness, just as David also speaks of the blessing of the one to whom God counts righteousness apart from works; “Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered; blessed is the man against whom the Lord will not count his sin.      Romans 4:4-8

Exhortation to Give – Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.      Hebrews 13:16
