PRELUDE –“Tears of the Saints” by Leeland
WELCOME & CALL TO WORSHIP – Isa. 9:2-7
Hear this call to worship from Isa. 9:2-7
The people who walked in darkness
have seen a great light;
those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness,
on them has light shone.
You have multiplied the nation;
you have increased its joy;
they rejoice before you
as with joy at the harvest,
as they are glad when they divide the spoil.
For the yoke of his burden,
and the staff for his shoulder,
the rod of his oppressor,
you have broken as on the day of Midian.
For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult
and every garment rolled in blood
will be burned as fuel for the fire.
For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given;
and the government shall be upon[b] his shoulder,
and his name shall be called[c]
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of his government and of peace
there will be no end,
on the throne of David and over his kingdom,
to establish it and to uphold it
with justice and with righteousness
from this time forth and forevermore.
The zeal of the Lord of hosts will do this.

“Holy, Holy, Holy” by John Bacchus Dykes and Reginald Heber
CONFESSION OF SIN – Deut. 28:15-19
“But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord your God
or be careful to do all his commandments and his statutes that I command you today, then all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you.
Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.
Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl.
Cursed shall be the fruit of your womb and the fruit of your ground,
the increase of your herds and the young of your flock.
Cursed shall you be when you come in,
and cursed shall you be when you go out.
In Light of God’s holy justice and anger against sin, let’s take a moment to repent of our iniquities and return humbly to the Lord our God.

CONFESSION OF SIN – From Martin Bucer’s 1539 Liturgy
“Let’s confess our sins together using Martin Bucer’s prayer from his 1539 Liturgy. Read with me aloud.”
Almighty, eternal God and Father, we confess and acknowledge unto You that we were conceived in unrighteousness and are full of sin and transgression in all our life. We do not fully believe Your Word nor follow Your holy commandments. Remember Your goodness, we beseech You, and for Your Name’s sake be gracious unto us, and forgive us our iniquity which, alas, is great Amen.

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name!
Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits,
who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
who redeems your life from the pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
who satisfies you with good
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
Hear This Assurance of Pardon:
“Through Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, the Lord forgives our sins and cleanses our unrighteousness.”

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 1 Paragraph 1
“Let’s affirm together what we Christians believe to be true about the Lord our God. Read with me from the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith Chapter 1 Paragraph 1.”
The Lord our God is but one only living and true God;
whose subsistence is in and of Himself, infinite in being and perfection;
whose essence cannot be comprehended by any but Himself; a most pure spirit,invisible, without body, parts, or passions, who only hath immortality,
dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto;
who is immutable, immense, eternal, incomprehensible, almighty, every way infinite, most holy, most wise, most free, most absolute;
working all things according to the counsel of His own immutable
and most righteous will, for His own glory;
most loving, gracious, merciful, long-suffering,
abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;
the rewarder of them that diligently seek Him,
and withal most just and terrible in His judgments, hating all sin,
and who will by no means clear the guilty.
