Call to Worship Let us worship God. “He is our refuge and our fortress, our God, in whom we trust.”
Let us confess with our mouths, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in our hearts that God raised him from the dead. “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”
Let us call upon our true God, believing him in our hearts, confessing him with our mouths, worshiping him in spirit and in truth. -Based on Psalm 91:2; Romans 10:9,13
Confession and Assurance Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. For God loved the world in this way: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Anyone who believes in him is not condemned, but anyone who does not believe is already condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. This is the judgment: The light has come into the world, and people loved darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the light and avoids it, so that his deeds may not be exposed. But anyone who lives by the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be shown to be accomplished by God. -John 3:14-21
Benediction The grace of Christ Jesus who is the same today, yesterday and forever, will lead you to the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, and then take you on to those tasks and joys which will prepare you for the greater glory which is to come. Amen!
Call to Worship In my distress I prayed to the Lord, and the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is for me, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me? Yes, the Lord is for me; he will help me. I will look in triumph at those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in people. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.
The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory. Songs of joy and victory are sung in the camp of the godly. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things! The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!
The stone that the builders rejected has now become the cornerstone. This is the Lord’s doing, and it is wonderful to see. This is the day the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. -Psalm 118:5-9, 14-16, 22-24, 29
Confession of Sin Holy father, in you the streams of justice and righteousness flow as one river. This river washes away all our hypocrisy and our sin is totally exposed.
Many of us have tried to flee from your presence in pursuit of power and pleasure; we have treated others like objects for our gain and not as images of the Holy God. Help us see clearly the ways that we have followed the lust of our flesh, the desires of our eyes, and the pride of our possession.
Others among us have kept all the rules since we were young, and we have grown proud. We boast in our works and have forgotten that all we have is a gift. In our pride we look down upon those whose sin is more visible. Father, expose the foolishness and error of our pride and help us return to Christ, our first love.
Assurance of Pardon The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him, and his righteousness to children’s children, to those who keep his covenant and remember to do his commandments. —Psalm 103:8, 13-14, 17-18
Benediction Grant us, Lord God, the vision of your kingdom, forgiveness and new life, and the stirring of your Spirit, so that we may share your vision, proclaim your love, and change this world in the name of Christ. Amen.
Call to Worship Clap your hands, all you peoples; shout to God with loud songs of joy. For the LORD, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth.
God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. —Psalm 47:1-2, 5-6
Confession of Sin Lord, you said, “If you love me, you will obey what I command.” Forgive us our shallow love and our disobedience. Lord, you said, “You may ask for anything in my name.” Forgive us when we think we need to solve our own problems.
Lord, you said, “Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” We confess that our lives are often consumed by worry and anxiety. Lord, you said, “If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit.” Forgive us our fruitless and dull lives, Lord.
Lord, you said, “You must tell everyone about me, for you have been with me.” We confess, Lord, that we have too often been silent. Lord, you said, “Love each other as I have loved you.” In these and in so many other ways, we confess our failure to keep your commands and law. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon So then, brothers and sisters, we owe a debt but not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the flesh, you will live. For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons and daughters of God. For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8:12-17
Benediction The LORD bless you and keep you; the LORD make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace. —Numbers 6:24-26
