Call to Worship
PRELUDE
RESPONSIVE CALL from Zech 9 & Luke 19
Pastor: Rejoice greatly, O
daughter of Zion!
People: Shout aloud, O
daughter of Jerusalem!
Pastor: Behold, your King is
coming to you; righteous
and having salvation is
he,
People: Humble and mounted
on a donkey; on a colt,
the foal of a donkey.
Pastor: As Jesus was drawing
near—already on the
way down the mount of
Olives—the whole
multitude of His
disciples began to rejoice
and praise God with a
loud voice, saying,
. All: “Hosanna in the
Highest! Blessed is the
King who comes in the
name of the Lord!”

READING of GOD’S LAW
Hear God’s Law, His Will for Your Life, from John 15:9-17
Jesus said, “As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father's command-ments and abide in his love. These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full. This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should abide, so that whatever you ask the Father in my name, he may give it to you. These things I command you, so that you will love one another.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

Life of Worship
PROFESSION of FAITH from Baptist Confessions for Worship
We believe in the one true and living God,
the Creator of heaven and earth,
who is holy, just, and merciful.
We affirm that Jesus Christ is the only
Mediator between God and man,
the Eternal Son of God,
who was incarnate, suffered, and died for our sins
according to the Scriptures,
and rose again on the third day.
We believe that He will return in glory to judge the living and the dead, and that His Kingdom shall have no end.
We stand firm in the Gospel, and in this season of Lent, we renew our commitment to follow Christ,
to die to self,
and to live in the power of His resurrection,
for the glory of God the Father,
through the work of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.◆

Q10. How many persons are there in the Godhead?
There are three persons in the Godhead, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one God, the same in essence, equal in power and glory.
(1 Cor. 8:6; John 10:30; John 14:9; Acts 5:3,4; Matt. 28:19)
