Liturgy (5/26)

PRELUDE

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – from Psalm 5:11-12

Let all who take refuge in the LORD rejoice;

let them ever sing for joy,

and may he spread his protection over them,

that those who love his name may exult in him.

For the LORD blesses the righteous;

he covers him with favor as with a shield.

Song –

“O Worship the King” by Chris Tomlin

CONFESSION OF SIN – Ecclesiastes 12:14

God will bring every deed into judgment,

with every secret thing,

whether good or evil.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Psalm 32:1-5

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,

whose sin is covered.

Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,

and in whose spirit there is no deceit.

For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away

through my groaning all day long.

For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;

my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer.

I acknowledged my sin to you,

and I did not cover my iniquity;

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – Psalm 100

Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth!

Serve the Lord with gladness!

Come into his presence with singing!

Know that the Lord, he is God!

It is he who made us, and we are his;

we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving,

and his courts with praise!

Give thanks to him; bless his name!

For the Lord is good;

his steadfast love endures forever,

and his faithfulness to all generations.

“Blessed Be Your Name” by Matt Redman

CONFESSION OF SIN –

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against You
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved You with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of Your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in Your will,
and walk in Your ways,
to the glory of Your Name.

Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Romans 10:9-13

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord

and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead,

you will be saved.

For with the heart one believes and is justified,

and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.

For the Scripture says,

“Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek;

for the same Lord is Lord of all,

bestowing his riches on all who call on him.

For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – Jeremiah 10:10, 12-13

The Lord is the true God;

he is the living God and the everlasting King.

At his wrath the earth quakes,

and the nations cannot endure his indignation.

It is he who made the earth by his power,

who established the world by his wisdom,

and by his understanding stretched out the heavens.

When he utters his voice, there is a tumult of waters in the heavens,

and he makes the mist rise from the ends of the earth.

He makes lightning for the rain,

and he brings forth the wind from his storehouses.

Song –

“O Worship the King” by Chris Tomlin

CONFESSION OF SIN – Daniel 9:4-6

EVERYONE:

O Lord, the great and awesome God,

who keeps covenant and steadfast love

with those who love him and keep his commandments,

we have sinned and done wrong and acted wickedly and rebelled,

turning aside from your commandments and rules.

We have not listened to your servants the prophets,

who spoke in your name.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Nehemiah 9:17

But you are a God ready to forgive,

gracious and merciful,

slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
