Reflection: Coming to the Lord’s Supper at Faith Church

The Lord Jesus Christ established the Lord’s Supper as a means of grace,

whereby He seals the promise of the Gospel to His disciples by faith. His

crucified body and shed blood is proclaimed through the visible signs of the

bread and the fruit of the vine. When we come in a right manner, we are fed

by Christ – not physically because the bread and juice remain what they are,

but spiritually – as He feeds and nourishes our souls so that we would live for

Him now and forever.

Because this is the Lord’s Supper, not the supper of Faith Church, we warmly

encourage all who come in a right manner to participate as we are knit

together in one body.

What is that “right manner”?

First, that you be a communing member in good standing of a church where

His Gospel is faithfully proclaimed. If you are not a Christian or joined to a

particular church, we encourage you to use this time instead to consider a right

relationship with God that is available to you in Jesus Christ.

Second, that you have examined yourself to be free of any sin of which you

refuse to repent, particularly the wrong of refusing to reconcile with a brother

or sister. God tells us to not take of this meal in such a state lest we eat and

drink judgment on ourselves. That does not mean that this table is for those

who are perfect. Quite the contrary! This table is for sinners. It is given,

graciously and freely by our Savior, for all who know their need of Him, trust

Him as the only ground of salvation, and come to Him to be assured anew of

His forgiveness and for grace to overcome sin.

Welcome to Faith Reformed Presbyterian Church. We are glad you are here this morning.

If you are visiting us, please sign and indicate that in the attendance booklet during the

offering so that we can properly thank you for coming. Our service liturgy is inspired by

the story of God’s Word and is designed to introduce you to, or renew you in, the good

news of Jesus Christ. During the service, indicates when the congregation stands, and

when we are seated. Ushers will be happy to provide hearing-assisted headsets or large-

print editions of the bulletin for those who need it. Please silence (or turn on “vibrate”

mode) your cellular phone/mobile device.

His Creation

Prelude Sam Broomell

Greeting Pastor Andy Pickens

Call to Worship Psalm 86:12-13 (ESV)

I give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify

your name forever. 13For great is your steadfast love toward me; you have

delivered my soul from the depths of Sheol.

Profession of Our Faith Westminster Shorter Catechism 28

Q – In what does Christ’s exaltation consist?

A - Christ’s exaltation exists in His rising from the dead on the third day, in

ascending up into heaven, in sitting at the right hand of God the Father, and in

coming to judge the world at the last day.

Invocation

Hymn of Praise: “Holy, Holy, Holy!” (Anon), Trinity Hymnal #100

Our Fall

Confession of Sin: 1 John 1:6-8 (ESV)

If we say we have fellowship with him while we walk in darkness, we lie and

do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we

have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us

from all sin. 8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is

not in us.

Corporate Prayer of Confession:

Corporate prayer of confession: Father, we confess that we have sinned – in

what we think, in what we say, in how we live. We make no excuse for

them. They are our actions. We have no plea other than Jesus Christ – but we

thank you that He also pleads for us. Thank you for that grace that we cannot

imagine, that our sins are paid by Him. All we ask is that you would strengthen

us in Jesus to follow Him, with all our of lives, and to His glory – Amen.

Assurance of Pardon: 1 John 1:9 (ESV)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse

us from all unrighteousness.

Songs of Response: Lion Of Judah (Mark)

Verse 1

You're the Lion of Judah

The Lamb who was slain

You ascended to heaven

And ever more 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

Verse 2

There's a shield in our hand

And a sword at our side

There's a fire in our spirits

That cannot be denied

'Cause 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

Jesus Paid It All (Christ I Owe) – (Hall/Grape)

Verse 1

I hear the Saviour say

Thy strength indeed is small

Child of weakness watch and pray

Find in Me thine all in all

Chorus Jesus paid it all

All to Him I owe

Sin had left a crimson stain

He washed it white as snow

Verse 2

Lord now indeed I find

Thy power and Thine alone

Can change the leper's spots

And melt the heart of stone

Verse 3

For nothing good have I

Whereby Thy grace to claim

I'll wash my garments white

In the blood of Calvary's Lamb

Verse 4

And when before the throne

I stand in Him complete

Jesus died my soul to save

My lips shall still repeat

7

Thou Lovely Source Of True Delight - (Steele/Twit)

Verse 1

Thou lovely source of true delight

Whom I unseen adore

Unveil Thy beauties to my sight

That I might love Thee more,

Oh that I might love Thee more.

Verse 4

But ah! Too soon the pleasing scene

Is clouded o’er with pain

My gloomy fears rise dark between

And I again complain,

Oh and I again complain

Verse 2

Thy glory o’er creation shines

But in Thy sacred Word

I read in fairer, brighter lines

My bleeding, dying Lord,

See my bleeding, dying Lord

Verse 5

Jesus, my Lord, my life, my light

Oh come with blissful ray

Break radiant through the shades of

night

And chase my fears away,

Won’t You chase my fears away

Verse 3

‘Tis here, whene’er my comforts droop

And sin and sorrow rise

Thy love with cheering beams of hope

My fainting heart supplies,

My fainting heart’s supplied

Verse 6

Then shall my soul with rapture trace

The wonders of Thy love

But the full glories of Thy face

Are only known above,

They are only known above

Sermon: “Vision Six & Seven: Removing the Sin of the People”

Pastor Dan Perrin

Word of God – Zechariah 5:1-11 (NIV)

I looked again - and there before me was a flying scroll! 2 He asked me, “What do

you see?” I answered, “I see a flying scroll, thirty feet long and fifteen feet wide.” 3 And he said to me, “This is the curse that is going out over the whole land; for

according to what it says on one side, every thief will be banished, and according to

what it says on the other, everyone who swears falsely will be banished. 4 The LORD

Almighty declares, ‘I will send it out, and it will enter the house of the thief and the

house of him who swears falsely by my name. It will remain in his house and destroy

it, both its timbers and its stones.’” 5 Then the angel who was speaking to me came

forward and said to me, “Look up and see what this is that is appearing.” 6 I asked,

“What is it?” He replied, “It is a measuring basket.” And he added, “This is the

iniquity of the people throughout the land.” 7 Then the cover of lead was raised, and

there in the basket sat a woman! 8 He said, “This is wickedness,” and he pushed her

back into the basket and pushed the lead cover down over its mouth. 9 Then I looked

up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had

wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth. 10 “Where are they taking the basket?” I asked the angel who was speaking to me. 11 He replied, “To the country of Babylonia to build a house for it. When the house is

ready, the basket will be set there in its place.”

Sin that is not removed is like a malignant growth that slowly takes over the body. In

vision number 4 God promises to save His people apart from their efforts (through

Messiah’s work), and in visions 6 & 7 God promises He will remove the sin of His

Covenant People so they will be holy as God is holy, and so they will bring glory to

God’s name. These two visions address judgment and expiation (expunging the sin

of the people). God promises to remove our sin as far as the east is from the west.

(Ps 103:12) He has wonderful plans for us, His people.

This sermon will be available in audio and video platform on our website – faithrpc.org/sermons.

The Lord’s Supper

Congregational Song: “How Deep The Father’s Love For Us”

(Townend) (v. 1,2)

Verse 1:

How deep the Father’s love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen One

Bring many sons to glory.

Verse 2:

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders.

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice

Call out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him there

Until it was accomplished;

His dying breath has brought me life.

I know that it is finished.

Verse 3:

I will now boast in anything:

No gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom.

But I will boast in Jesus Christ:

His death and resurrection.

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.

But this I know will all my heart:

His wounds have paid my ransom.

Lord’s Supper

Please hold the elements of bread and juice when distributed so we can partake together.

The offering during the hymn today will support Solanco Neighbored Ministries.

Missions Committee 2020 Vision: In Philippians 4:10 Paul wrote, “I rejoiced in the

Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were

indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity.” How can we at Faith Church

“revive our concern” for our missionaries? In 2020 the Missions Committee will

offer several opportunities for us to revive our concern for our missionaries in 2020.

Missions Conference: SAVE THE DATE! March 27-29, 2020, Faith Church will

Would you like to help with us with meals, hospitality, decorations, and any other

aspects of the Missions Conference? Please contact Bob Holt today!

Pastor Search Committee Inquires: Have a question for the Pastor Search

Committee? We invite you to find Jessie Brown or Mark Broomell after the service

Yawn from McGowan & Associates is also posted on YouTube. If you’d like to see

it, simply go to https://youtu.be/xWZ9ggIJ5.

The Pastor Search Committee has developed a Nomination Form where you can

suggest a potential candidate for consideration. The forms will be available at the

Welcome Center or see any Committee member. Our preference is that you get

permission, or at least inform any potential candidate before submitting their

name."

Nursery Workers Needed: We need help for this important ministry! Those who

have been faithful to serve are having babies themselves. We are looking for some

people to take place of our workers during this time. Please call the church office at

717-786-7559 to sign up.

Daylight Savings Time Starts Next Week: Don’t forget to “spring” forward next

Sunday. Get ready to lose an hour of sleep, but gain an extra hour of daylight!

Playground Announcement: We are pleased to announce that we have recently

installed our new playground! We hope the kids will enjoy it and that it helps them

tangibly see how Christ loves and cares for them. PARENTS – please realize that

we don’t have the resources to staff supervision of the playground area. So it is up

to you to set whatever boundaries you have for your children. Second, please

remember that as with all other areas on the church property, the “TWO-ADULT”

rule always applies – so if you are out there with children other than yours, please

find a second adult to sit with you – you can enjoy a time of fellowship together!

Impact a life – Impact a Community: The Public School is the largest mission

field in our country. Joy El Generation’s Bible Adventure has an opportunity to

teach God’s Word to our public school students. We are expecting great growth in

the attendance of our groups and need more volunteers to help us show the love of

Christ to these students from now until the middle of May. We need people to help

as listeners (small group mentors) in all of our groups. We are also seeking

someone to join the Quarryville leadership team on Tuesday afternoons as well

as someone to be secretary for our Providence group on Thursday mornings.

Thank you for considering this need. Contact: Tammy Brown 717-618-9839 or

email tammyjoyel@gmail.com for more information. Your help and prayers are

needed! www.joyelgeneration.org
