PRELUDE
Call to Worship from Psalm 19
Pastor: The heavens declare the
glory of God, and the sky
above proclaims his
handiwork.
People: Day to day pours out
speech, and night to night
reveals knowledge.
Pastor: There is no speech, nor are
there words, whose voice
is not heard.
People: Their voice goes out
through all the earth, and
their words to the end of the
world.
Pastor: Glorious God, keep your
servant from willful and
presumptuous sins;
People: Let them not have dominion
over me!
Pastor: Then I shall be blameless,
and innocent of great
transgression.
All: Let the words of my mouth
and the meditation of
my heart be acceptable in
your sight, O Lord, my
Rock and my Redeemer.◆
PRAYER of INVOCATION From Exodus 33:12-14
SONG of ADORATION “Only a Holy God”
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a Holy God!
What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God!
Come and behold Him: the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy,
Forever a Holy God!
Come and worship the Holy God!
What other glory consumes like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a Holy God!
Chorus x 2
Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a Holy God; Only my Holy God!
Chorus x 2

Confession and Assurance
READING of GOD’S LAW
Hear God’s Law, His Will for Your Life, from Galatians 6:2-10
Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks they are something when they are not, they deceive themselves. Each one should test their own actions. Then they can take pride in themselves alone, without comparing themselves to someone else, for each one should carry their own load. Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
This is the Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
PRAYER of CONFESSION BOCP
Save your people, O Lord, from the chaos of divided loyalties and the worship of many gods;
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
From re-making a god in our own image and likeness
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
From using Your name trivially
and claiming You for our prejudices;
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
From neglecting sabbath rest
and being obsessed with busyness;
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
From ignoring or despising the elderly
and worshiping novelty and youth;
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
From wishing harm on our enemies
and reveling in their ruin;
Save us, God of truth and mercy.
O Jesus Christ, Savior of all who lose their way,
Redeemer of sinners, Lamb of God slain for us,
Save us, God of truth and mercy! Amen. ◆
ASSURANCE of PARDON from I John 1:8-9
If anyone says he is without sin, he deceives himself, and the Truth is not in him. But if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Brothers and sisters, by the command of Christ and the power of his promises, receive the Good News: Christ has died for sinners and been raised for our sanctification. Therefore, be assured that you are forgiven. Amen. ◆

Life of Worship
PROFESSION of FAITH - The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all that exists—seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father before all worlds; Light of Light, True God of True God, begotten, not made, of One Being with the Father. Through Him, all things were made.
For us and for our salvation, He came down from heaven. By the power of the Holy Spirit, he became incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and was made man.
For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate. He suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again, in accordance with the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, where he sits at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and His kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, the Giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and from the Son. With the Father and the Son He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy, universal, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism unto the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.◆
