Psalm 111:1-4

Hymn of Adoration

Come, Thou Almighty King (Trinity Hymnal #101)

Confession of Sin

Mighty God, You are our deliver and our refuge from danger. We know we have nothing to fear in life or in death, yet we do fear. You have told us to rest from our own striving, yet we often rely on our own strength and find ourselves consumed with anxiety and deeply shaken by this world and by our own weakness. You have promised to work all things in this universe together for our spiritual blessing and good, yet we doubt your love and argue with your wisdom. Lord, thank you that in the midst of our faltering belief, you have provided a strong and power full Savior. Though Satan’s accusations ring in our ears and threatens to undo us, you have declared us righteous and blameless in your sight because of Christ. Silence our mouths when we condemn ourselves, and settle our frightened souls when we tremble with fear before you. Persuade us day after day that you are always on our side, even when we grieve you by a thousand falls. Show us how your wrath toward our sin has been emptied on your precious Son, and let us feel deeply in our souls that Jesus has paid for every sin with his bleeding wounds. Amen.

Assurance of Pardon

Romans 3:23-26

Confession of Faith

Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of his Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets; and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and of the life of the world to come. Amen. 

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father
And to the Son
And to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end, Amen.

Prayer of Supplication & Lord’s Prayer

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Hymn of Adoration

Holy, Holy, Holy (Trinity Hymnal #100)

Confession of Sin

Gracious Heavenly Father, we bow before you this morning to acknowledge that you alone are Holy, Holy, Holy. Because of our sin we cannot see your glory lest it consume us with your righteous judgment. But you have not left us in darkness. You have given us the light of your Word and the life of your Spirit that we may know our sin. You have given us your Word made flesh, our crucified and risen Lord Jesus Christ, that in his sacrifice for us on the cross our sins would be forgiven. So we confess to you our sins of thought, word, and deed that we have committed against you and against all those whom you have created in your image. We rest in your promised forgiveness because of the finished work of Christ for us. We look to you for the comfort of your Fatherly love for us. And we seek to walk by faith in the power of your Spirit in us. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.

O Love of God, How Strong and True (Trinity Hymnal #81)

Confession of Sin

Heavenly Father, who is rich in grace and abundant in mercy, we humbly approach you this morning to confess our many and persistent sins. You have promised to strengthen us by your Spirit, but we strive to sustain ourselves. You have promised us knowledge and wisdom in Christ, but we doubt your Word and your truth. You have promised to fill us with your fullness of your love, but in fear we pretend contentment in the things of this world. Forgive us of our sins. Strengthen the weakness of our faith, transform the doubts of our hearts and minds, and fill us with your unfailing love and inexhaustible goodness according to the riches of your glory. Amen.

Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation (Trinity Hymnal #343)

Confession of Sin

Lord You have made us rich beyond measure taking us from darkness to light, from death to life. You have saved us from the coming judgment and have called us to a life of faith until that day. A life marked by prayer, love, forgiveness, hospitality, and service; a life as stewards of the manifold grace of God. O Lord forgive us our sins. Forgive us when we have given silence for prayer, coldness for love, spite for forgiveness, withdrawal for hospitality, and selfishness for service. Forgive us when we have neglected ways we may have easily glorified You. Forgive us and mature us, and put us into useful service in the name of Christ our Lord. We ask it in His precious name, Amen.

My Hope Is in the Lord (Trinity Hymnal #523)

Confession of Sin

O Father, we are gathered before you, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, whose chosen dwelling place is with the broken and contrite, to confess that we have sinned in thought and word and deed; we have not loved you with all our heart and soul, we have not loved you with all our mind and strength; we have not even loved our neighbor as ourselves. In your mercy, deepen our sorrow for the wrong we have done and for the good we have left undone, so that we may hate our sin with a holy hatred. But, please Father, do not leave us in sorrow. With you, O Lord, there is forgiveness. In your mercy, restore the joy of our salvation; so that we may love you with a holy love. Amen.

What is the Chief End of Man?

Man's chief end is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

Read the Westminster Shorter Catechism

What Is My Only Comfort in Life and Death?

That I am not my own, but belong–body and soul, in life and in death–to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.

He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil.

He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.

Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.
