Order Of Worship

Call To Worship – Psalm 42

Prayer:

To be read aloud, together:
Almighty and everlasting God, you have given to us your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

SONG: Lord From Sorrows Deep I Call

Lord, from sorrows deep I call when my hope is shaken
Torn and ruined from the fall, hear my desperation
For so long I've pled and prayed, "God, come to my rescue"
Even so, the thorn remains, still my heart will praise You 

Storms within my troubled soul, questions without answers
On my faith these billows roll, God be now my shelter
Why are you cast down, my soul? Hope in Him who saves you
When the fires have all grown cold cause this heart to praise You

Oh, my soul, put your hope in God 
My Help, my Rock, I will praise Him
Sing, oh sing, through the raging storm
You're still my God, my Salvation

Should my life be torn from me every worldly pleasure
When all I possess is grief God, be then my treasure
Be my vision in the night, be my hope and refuge
Till my faith is turned to sight Lord, my heart will praise You 

General Confession

To be read aloud, together:

Almighty and most merciful Father,

We have erred, and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against thy holy laws. We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; and we have done those things which we ought not to have done; and there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders. Spare thou them, O God, which confess their faults. Restore thou them that are penitent; according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesu our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy name. Amen.

READING OF THE WORD – Isaiah 1:16-17

At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God 

SONG: Do It Again

Walking around these walls, I thought by now they'd fall
But You have never failed me yet
Waiting for change to come, knowing the battle's won
For You have never failed me yet

Your promise still stands, great is Your faithfulness, faithfulness
I'm still in Your hands, this is my confidence,
You've never failed me yet

I know the night won't last, Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again
Jesus, You're still enough, keep me within Your love
Yes, You have never failed me yet

I've seen You move, come move the mountains
And I believe, I'll see You do it again
You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I'll see You do it again 

SONG: ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers, fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, abide with me.

Thou on my head in early youth didst smile,
And though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, as oft as I left Thee.
On to the close, Lord, abide with me.

I need Thy presence every passing hour;
What but Thy grace can foil the Tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, oh, abide with me!

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness.
Where is thy sting death? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes,
Shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies.
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me!

Sermon: Justice For All (Romans 12:9-21)

For those who call LWF their church home, Randy will lead a time of communion at the end of the sermon video.

SONG: HIS MERCY IS MORE

What love could remember no wrongs we have done 
Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum 
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore 
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more 

Praise the Lord! His mercy is more 
Stronger than darkness, new every morn 
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more 

What patience would wait as we constantly roam 
What Father, so tender, is calling us home 
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor 
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more 

What riches of kindness He lavished on us 
His blood was the payment, His life was the cost 
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford 
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Benediction:

May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
