Order Of Worship
Call To Worship – Psalm 92:1-4
Prayer:
To be read aloud, together:
Let your continual mercy, O Lord, cleanse and defend your Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without your help, protect and govern it always by your goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
SONG: Praise The Lord
Praise the Lord, O my soul, rejoice!
For His love is strong and His mercies are never-ending
Praise the Lord, O my soul, rejoice!
For His love is strong and His mercies are never-ending
All that I've needed, You have provided
Great is Your faithfulness
O Lord Your mercy is new every morning
Great is Your faithfulness,
All the people sing
From the beginning, You have been with me
Great is Your faithfulness
When I am downcast Your love is steadfast
Great is Your faithfulness,
All the people sing
Holy, Holy Lord God almighty, so worthy to be praised
Holy, Holy Lord God almighty, my soul will bless your name,
All the people sing
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 – James 1:12-15
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: Rock Of Ages
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee;
Let the water and the blood, From Thy wounded side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure, Save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labor of my hands, Can fulfill Thy law’s commands
Could my zeal no respite know, Could my tears forever flow,
All for sin could not atone, Thou must save, and save alone.
Nothing in my hands I bring, Simply to the cross I cling;
Naked, come to Thee for dress, Helpless, look to Thee for grace:
Foul, I to the fountain fly, Wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, When mine eyes shall close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown, See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in Thee.
Song: No Longer Slaves
You unravel me with a melody, You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies 'til all my fears are gone
(repeat)
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God
From my mother's womb, You have chosen me, love has called my name
I’ve been born again into your family, Your blood flows through my veins
You split the sea so I could walk right through it,
My fears were drowned in perfect love!
You rescued me and I will stand and sing, “I am a child of God!”
Sermon: Cultivating the Christ-Centered Life (Psalms 1)
Communion
SONG: Build My Life
Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You
Jesus the name above every other name
Jesus the only one who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, we live for You
Holy there is no one like You, there is none besides You Open up my eyes in wonder
Show me who You are and fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me
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.
