Rejoice in the LORD,O you righteous,and give thanks

Psalm 97:12

Call to Worship

There is a fountain filled with blooddrawn from Immanuel’s veins;

and sinners plungedbeneath that flood

lose all their guilty stains,

Text: William Cowper • Music: Lowell Mason

There Is A Fountain

lose all their guilty stains,lose all their guilty stains;

and sinners plungedbeneath that flood

lose all their guilty stains.

The dying thief rejoiced to seethat fountain in his day;

and there may I, though vile as he,wash all my sins away,

wash all my sins away,wash all my sins away;

and there may I, though vile as he,wash all my sins away.

Dear dying Lamb, thy precious bloodshall never lose its power

till all the ransomed church of Godare saved, to sin no more,

are saved, to sin no more,are saved, to sin no more;

till all the ransomed church of Godare saved, to sin no more.

For since by faith I saw the streamthy flowing wounds supply,

redeeming love has been my theme,and shall be till I die,

and shall be till I die,and shall be till I die;

redeeming love has been my theme,and shall be till I die.

Then in a nobler, sweeter songI’ll sing thy pow’r to save,when this poor, lisping,

stamm’ring tonguelies silent in the grave,

lies silent in the grave,lies silent in the grave;when this poor, lisping,

stamm’ring tonguelies silent in the grave.

Prayer of Invocation

Come, let us return to the LORD,for he has torn us,

that he may heal us;he has struck us down,and he will bind us up.

Hosea 6:1

Call to Confession of Sin

Almighty and most merciful Father,we have erred and strayed

from Your ways like lost sheep.We have followed too much

the devices and desiresof our own hearts.

We have offended againstYour holy laws…

Confession of Sin

We have left undone those thingswhich we ought to have done;

and we have done those thingswhich we ought not to have done;

and there is no health in us.O Lord, have mercy upon us,

miserable offenders.Spare those, O God,

who confess their faults…

Restore those who are penitent;according to Your promises

declared unto mankindin Christ Jesus our Lord.

Grant that we may hereafter livea godly, righteous, and sober life;

to the glory of His holy name.Amen.

(Silent confession)

I will heal their apostasy;I will love them freely,

for my anger has turned from them.

Hosea 14:4

Assurance of Forgiveness

May the peace of Christ be with you.And also with you.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. But if anyone has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, yet closes his heart against him, how does God’s love abide in him? Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and truth.

1 John 3:16-18

Offering

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;Praise him, all creatures here below;Praise him above, ye heav’nly host;Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Amen.

Victory In The Lamb

He will raise themto the halls of heaven

and release their earthly cares.

And the hard times, they will come,and the black clouds, they will break.

But his riches comewith the morning sun

and they grow green fields of grace.

So let all condemnation cease!Let guilt have no more claim!

Let the devil lose all dominion!

For the Lamb of God he came!And the Lamb of God was slain!

And the Lamb of God was raised!

We will fix our wandering eyeson the wonders of our Lord.

By his sacred stripeswe have been healed,

through his wounds our joys supplied.

Now the strong ones and the weakare the same under his blood.

For empty-handedall must come

to receive his endless love.

Arise, my soul, arise,shake off your guilty fears;

the bleeding sacrificein my behalf appears.

Text: Charles Wesley (1742) • Music: Kevin Twit (1996)

Arise, My Soul, Arise

Before the throne my surety stands,before the throne my surety stands,

my name is written on his hands.

Arise!Arise, my soul, arise!


Shake off your guilty fears and rise!

He ever lives above,for me to intercede,

his all redeeming love,his precious blood to plead.

His blood atoned for every race,his blood atoned for every race,

and sprinkles now the throne of grace.

Five bleeding wounds he bears,received on Calvary.

They pour effectual prayers;they strongly plead for me.

“Forgive him, oh, forgive” they cry,“Forgive him, oh, forgive” they cry,“Nor let that ransomed sinner die.”

My God is reconciled;his pard’ning voice I hear.He owns me for his child;

I can no longer fear.

With confidence I now draw nigh,with confidence I now draw nigh,And, “Father, Abba, Father,” cry.

The Gospel of Jesus Christ.Praise be to you, O Christ!

Luke 10:38-42

Gospel Reading

What do you believe?

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,Maker of heaven and earth…

The Apostles’ Creed

Confession of Faith

And in Jesus Christ,His only Son, our Lord, who was

conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, dead, and buried.

He descended into hell…

The third dayhe rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand

of God the Father Almighty.From there he shall come

to judge the living and the dead…

I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,and the life everlasting.

Amen.

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts,to which indeed you were called in one body.

And be thankful.

(Greet one another with the words,“The peace of Christ be with you.”)

Colossians 3:15

Passing of the Peace

Institution of the Lord’s Table

Let us proclaim the mystery of faith.Christ has died.Christ is risen.

My hope is built on nothing lessthan Jesus’ blood and righteousness;

I dare not trust the sweetest framebut wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

Text: Edward Mote • Music: William Bradbury

My Hope Is Built On Nothing Less

On Christ the solid Rock I stand;all other ground is sinking sand,all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness seemsto hide his face,

I rest on his unchanging grace.In every high and stormy gale,my anchor holds within the veil.

His oath, his covenant, his blood,support me in the ’whelming flood.

When all around my soul gives way,he then is all my Hope and Stay.

When he shall comewith trumpet sound,

O, may I then in him be found,dressed in his righteousness alone,faultless to stand before the throne.
