*HYMN
38
Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
*INVOCATION
*CONFESSION OF FAITH
(Adapted from the Westminster Shorter Catechism)
We believe that the only Redeemer of God's elect is the Lord Jesus Christ,
who being the eternal Son of God became man, and so was and continues to
be God and man, in two distinct natures and one person, forever. We
believe that as our Redeemer, Christ is a prophet, priest, and king. We
believe that as our prophet, Christ reveals by his Word and Spirit the
will of God to us for our salvation. We believe that as our priest,
Christ offered himself up once, as a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice
and reconcile us to God, and that he continually intercedes for us. We
believe that as our king, Christ subdues us to himself, rules and defends
us, and restrains and conquers all his and our enemies.
*ASCRIPTION OF PRAISE
(Sung by all)
(Hanover Croft)
Salvation to God, who sits on the throne! Let all cry aloud and honor the
Son. The praises of Jesus the angels proclaim, fall down on their faces
and worship the Lamb.
Then let us adore, and
give him his right, all glory and pow’r, and wisdom and might, all honor
and blessing, with angels above, and thanks never ceasing for infinite
love.
THE READING OF THE
LAW OF GOD:
Proverbs 14:19-35
THE
CONFESSION OF SIN
O great
and everlasting God, who dwells in unapproachable light, who searches and
knows the thoughts and intentions of the heart; we confess that we have
not loved you with all our heart, nor with all our soul, nor with all our
mind, nor with all our strength; nor our neighbors as ourselves. We have
loved what we ought not to have loved; we have coveted what is not ours;
we have not been content with your provisions for us. We have complained
in our hearts about our family, about our friends, about our health, about
our occupations, about your church, and about our trials. We have sought
our security in those things that perish, rather than in you, the
Everlasting God. Chasten, cleanse, and forgive us, through Jesus Christ,
who is able for all time to save us who approach you through him, since he
always lives to make intercession for us. Amen.
