Prelude

~God Calls Us to Worship Him~

Call to Worship Zechariah 3:1-5

Pastor: Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan[ standing at his right hand to accuse him.

People: And the LORD said to Satan, “The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?” Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.

Pastor: And the angel said to those who were standing before him, Remove the filthy garments from him. And to him he said, “Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.”

Unison: And I said, “Let them put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing by.

Prayer of Worship

~God Renews Us in Christ~

We Corporately Confess Our Sins
We confess, dear Lord Jesus, that we have sinned as the apostle Peter sinned, as he shamefully denied You when You were on trial before the rulers of the Jews. So have we shamefully denied You while You have been on continuous trial before the whole world. Forgive us dear Father in heaven and grant us we pray, through the power of your Holy Spirit to receive the courage and loving boldness that then possessed Peter on the day of Pentecost. As the Holy Spirit empowered Him on that grand Day of the New Creation, may He also empower us to proclaim the Savior’s INFINITE GLORY and LOVE to our families and our lost world.

We Silently Confess Our Sins

Sing this Song of the Redeemed: Isaiah 35:10
(Psalm 149:5 “Let them sing for joy on their beds”)

Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion;
And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads.
Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion;
And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads.
They shall obtain — gladness and joy;
And sorrow and mourning shall flee away.
Therefore, the redeemed of the Lord shall return,
And come with singing unto Zion;
And everlasting joy shall be upon their heads.

We Confess Our Faith: Heidelberg Catechism #52

Leader: What profit unto us is this GLORY of Christ our head?

People: That in all my sorrows and persecutions, with uplifted head I look for the very same Person Who before has offered Himself for my sake to the tribunal of God, and has removed all curse from me, to come as Judge from heaven; Who shall cast all His and my enemies into everlasting condemnation, but shall take me with all His chosen ones to Himself into heavenly joy and glory.
