Welcome

Prelude

~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship   

To the church of God; to those sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints together with all those who in every place call upon the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for a song of praise is fitting.

Song    Oh the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus  (CCLI#251645)

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free,
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me,
Underneath me, all around me is the current of Your love,
Leading onward, leading homeward to Your glorious rest above.
           
Chorus:  Oh the deep, deep love,

All I need and trust, Is the deep, deep love of Jesus.   
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus,
Spread His praise from shore to shore,
How He came to pay our ransom through the saving cross He bore;
How He watches o’er His loved ones,
Those He died to make His own; how for them He’s interceding,
Pleading now before the throne.   Chorus

Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, far surpassing all the rest,
It’s an ocean full of blessing in the midst of every test.
Oh the deep, deep love of Jesus, Mighty Savior, precious Friend,
You will bring us home to glory,
Where Your love will never end.   Chorus 2 x’s

Prayer of Worship 

~God Renews Us in Christ~

Call to Repentance   Isaiah 64:6

We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. 

We Corporately Confess Our Sins

Almighty God, we are unworthy to come into your presence, because of our many sins. We do not deserve any grace or mercy from you if you dealt with us as we deserve. We have sinned against you, O Lord, and we have offended you. And yet, O Lord, as we acknowledge our sins and offenses, so also do we acknowledge you to be a merciful God, a loving and favorable Father, to all who turn to you. And so we humbly ask you, for the sake of Christ your son, to show mercy to us, and forgive us all our offenses. Forgive the sins of our youth, and the sins of our old age. By your Spirit, O God, take possession of our hearts, so that, not only the actions of our lives, but also the words of our mouths, and the smallest thought of our minds, may be guided and governed by you. Through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be all honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

We Silently Confess Our Sins

The Grace of God in Christ    Romans 8:1-4

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.

Chorus:

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?   Chorus

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.  Chorus

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