Prelude
~God Calls Us to Worship Him~
Call to Worship

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for us, who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 

Song    Christ Our Hope In Life and Death     (CCLI#251645)

What is our hope in life and death?  Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?  That our souls to Him belong.

Who holds our days within His hand?  
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?  
The love of Christ, in which we stand.

O sing hallelujah!  Our hope springs eternal;  O sing hallelujah!  
Now and ever we confess  Christ our hope in life and death.

What truth can calm the troubled soul?  God is good, God is good.  
Where is His grace and goodness known?  
In our great Redeemer’s blood.

Who holds our faith when fears arise?  
Who stands above the stormy trial?  
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh  
Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

O sing hallelujah!  Our hope springs eternal;  O sing hallelujah!  
Now and ever we confess  Christ our hope in life and death.

Unto the grave, what shall we sing?  
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”  
And what reward will heaven bring?  
Everlasting life with Him.

There we will rise to meet the Lord,  
Then sin and death will be destroyed,  
And we will feast in endless joy,  
When Christ is ours forevermore.  

O sing hallelujah!  Our hope springs eternal;  O sing hallelujah!  
Now and ever we confess  Christ our hope in life and death.

Now and ever we confess  Christ our hope in life and death.

Prayer of Worship 

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sin and Need          

Lord God, eternal and almighty Father: We acknowledge before your holy majesty that we are poor sinners, conceived and born in guilt and in corruption, prone to do evil, unable of our own power to do good. Because of our sin, we endlessly violate your holy commandments. But, O Lord, with heartfelt sorrow we repent and turn away from all our offenses. We condemn ourselves and our evil ways, with true sorrow asking that your grace will relieve our distress. Have compassion on us, most gracious God, Father of mercies, for the sake of your son Jesus Christ our Lord. And in removing our guilt, also grant us daily increase of the grace of your Holy Spirit and produce in us the fruits of holiness and of righteousness pleasing in your sight: Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Song    He Will Hold Me Fast     (CCLI#251645)                          

When I fear my faith will fail, Christ will hold me fast;
When the tempter would prevail, He will hold me fast.
I could never keep my hold through life's fearful path;
For my love is often cold; He must hold me fast.

He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast.

Those He saves are His delight, Christ will hold me fast;
Precious in his holy sight, He will hold me fast.
He'll not let my soul be lost; His promises shall last;
Bought by Him at such a cost, He will hold me fast.

He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Savior loves me so, He will hold me fast.

For my life He bled and died, Christ will hold me fast;
Justice has been satisfied; He will hold me fast.
Raised with Him to endless life, He will hold me fast
‘Till our faith is turned to sight, When He comes at last!

He will hold me fast, He will hold me fast;
For my Saviour loves me so, He will hold me fast.
