ORDER OF WORSHIP
June 28, 2015
Call to Worship: Revelation 3:20-22
Confession of Faith: 2 Timothy 2:11-13
The saying is trustworthy, for: If we have died with him, we will also live with him; if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us; if we are faithless, he remains faithful—Amen.
Prayer of Adoration:
Old Testament Lesson: Lamentations 3:22-32
Corporate Confession of Sin:
O Holy Father, if Your mercy had bounds, where would be my refuge from just wrath? But Your love in Christ is without measure. Thus, I present myself to You with sins of commission and omission, against You, my Father; against You, adorable Redeemer; against You and Your strivings, O Holy Spirit; against the dictates of my conscience; against the precepts of Your Word; against my neighbors and myself. But I bless You that the finished work of Jesus needs no addition from my deeds, that His sacrifice is sufficient satisfaction for my sins. If future days be mine, help me to amend my life, to hate and abhor evil, to flee the sins I confess. O help me to set an upright example that will ever rebuke vice, allure to good- ness, and evidence that lovely are the ways of Christ. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon: Hebrews 10:17
Song: O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus Hymn 535 v.1-3
Song: Wonderful, Merciful Savior CCLI# 106879
Wonderful, merciful Savior, precious redeemer and friend
Who would have thought that a lamb could rescue the souls of men?
Oh you rescue the souls of men
Counselor, comforter, keeper, Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost their way
Oh we hopelessly lost the way
CHORUS: You are the One that we praise, you are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for,
Oh our hearts always hunger for
Almighty infinite Father, faithfully loving your own
Here in our weakness you find us falling before your throne,
Oh we’re falling before your throne
New Testament Lesson: 2 Corinthians 10:1-5
Song: Be Unto Your Name CCLI# 2177476
We are a moment, You are forever, Lord of the Ages, God before time
We are a vapor, You are eternal, Love everlasting, reigning on high
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, Worthy is the lamb who was slain
Highest praises, honor and glory, Be unto Your name, be unto Your name
We are the broken, You are the healer, Jesus, Redeemer, mighty to save
You are the love song we’ll sing forever, Bowing before You, blessing Your name
