Call to Worship Psalm 110

Leader: The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”

People: The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!

Leader: Your people will offer themselves freely on the day of your power, in holy garments; from the womb of the morning, the dew of your youth will be yours.

People: The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind, “You are a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek.”

Leader: The Lord is at your right hand; he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.

People: He will execute judgment among the nations, filling them with corpses; he will shatter chiefs over the wide earth.

All: He will drink from the brook by the way; therefore he will lift up his head.

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sins Daniel 9:8-9

To us, O LORD, belongs open shame, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against you. To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against him. Gracious Father, in the name of our Crucified-Risen Lord, please forgive our many sins through Your Steadfast love, and raise us into the GLORY of our Risen Savior.

The Grace of God in Christ

We Confess Our Faith: Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven

and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church (universal church), the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

We Listen to God John 1:14-18, Revelation 21:22-26

Sermon We Beheld His Glory IV

Song of Celebration You’re the Lion of Judah by Robin Mark (© 1997 Daybreak Music, Ltd.: Used by permission)

You’re the Lion of Judah, the Lamb who was slain; You ascended to Heaven and evermore will reign. At the end of the age when the earth You reclaim,

You will gather the nations before You.

And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb who was crucified.

With wisdom and mercy and justice You’ll reign at Your Father’s side.

Chorus: And the angels will cry —“Hail the Lamb — Who was slain for the world — rule in pow’r,” — And the earth will reply — “You shall reign —

As the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.”

There’s a shield in our hand and a sword at our side; There’s a fire in our spirits that cannot be denied.

As the Father has told us, for these You have died, for the nations who gather before You.

And the ears of all men need to hear of the Lamb who was crucified,

Who descended to hell, yet was raised up to reign at His Father’s side. (Chorus Twice)
