Songs Medley

His Name Is Wonderful (2 times) (CCLI#251645)

His name is Wonderful, His name is Wonderful,
His name is Wonderful, Jesus my Lord;
He is the mighty King, Master of everything,
His name is Wonderful, Jesus my Lord.

He’s the great Shepherd, the Rock of all ages,
Almighty God is He; Bow down before Him. Love and adore Him,
His name is Wonderful, Jesus my Lord.

I Will Give Thanks to the Lord (2 times) (CCLI#251645)

I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart.
I will tell of all Thy wonders; I will be glad and exult in Thee.
I will sing praise to Thy Name, O Most High,
And rejoice in Thy salvation. I will be glad and exult in Thee.

I will trust in You, my God, who delivered me,
And lifted me from the gates of death,
I will be glad and exult in Thee.

Prayer of Worship

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sins

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: In My Heart (CCLI#251645)

In my heart there is a stirring; One that did not start with me; A love to worship my Creator, To show His love for all to see.

Chorus: I will worship, I will honor, I will exalt the Lord above. All my days I’ll sing the praises Of His great redeeming love.

In my heart there is a treason; One that poisons all my love. Take my heart and consecrate it, Wash it in Your cleansing blood. (Chorus)

Tie me to the Rock unchanging. Tie me to His wondrous Cross. I’ll fix my eyes upon the Savior, All other things I count as loss. (Chorus)

The Grace of God in Christ 1 Corinthians 1:18-31

We Confess Our Faith Heidelberg Catechism Q 61, 62

Pastor

Why do you say that you are righteous only by faith?

All

Not that I am acceptable to God on account of the worthiness of my faith, for only the satisfaction, righteousness, and holiness of Christ is my righteousness before God. I can receive this righteousness and make it mine my own by faith only.

Pastor

But why can our good works not be our righteousness before God, or at least a part of it?

All

Because the righteousness which can stand before God’s judgment must be absolutely perfect and in complete agreement with the law of God, whereas even our best works in this life are all imperfect and defiled with sin.
