“Until These Tears Are Gone” by Young Oceans

CALL TO WORSHIP – Psalm 149:2-4: 

“Let Israel be glad in his Maker;

    let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!

Let them praise his name with dancing,

    making melody to him with tambourine and lyre!

For the Lord takes pleasure in his people;

    he adorns the humble with salvation.”

“Behold, Our God” by Jonathan, Meghan, and Ryan Baird and Mark Altrogge

CONFESSION OF SIN

Almighty and most merciful Father, we are thankful that your mercy is

higher than the heavens,

wider than our wanderings,

deeper than all our sin.

Forgive our careless attitudes toward your purposes,

our refusal to relieve the suffering of others,

our envy of those who have more than we have,

our obsession with creating a life of constant pleasure,

our indifference to the treasures of heaven,

our neglect of your wise and gracious law.

Help us to change our way of life

so that we may desire what is good,

love what you love,

and do what you command,

through Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Amen.

ASSURANCE OF PARDON – Isaiah 53:4-6

“Surely he has borne our griefs

      and carried our sorrows;

      yet we esteemed him stricken,

      smitten by God, and afflicted.

      But he was pierced for our transgressions;

      he was crushed for our iniquities;

      upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

      and with his wounds we are healed.

      All we like sheep have gone astray;

      we have turned—every one—to his own way;

      and the Lord has laid on him

      the iniquity of us all.”

PRAYER

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH – From the Heidelberg Catechism Question 1

Q: What is your only comfort in life and death?

A: “That I am not my own, but belong body and soul, 

in life and in death to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ.

      He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood, 

and has delivered me from the tyranny of the devil. 

He also watches over me in such a way 

that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven; 

in fact, all things must work together for my salvation.

      Because I belong to him, Christ, by his Holy Spirit, also assures me of eternal life 

and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for him.”
