REFLECTION (from Romans 6)
But thanks be to God that,
though you used to be slaves to sin…
you have been set free from sin
and have become slaves of God;
the benefit you reap leads to holiness,
and the result is eternal life.
For the wages of sin is death,
but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
WELCOME CALL TO WORSHIP (from Isaiah 43)
(Leader) But now, this is what the Lord says -
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
For I am the Lord your God,
the Holy One of Israel, your savior.”
HYMN OF PRAISE (see page 6) IN CHRIST ALONE
Because we
believe God
initiates with
sinners, we begin
worship
with His Word:
His invitation to
us to gather in
His name.
You are
encouraged to
prepare for
worship by
quieting
your mind and
heart.

PRAYER OF ADORATION
CONFESSION OF SIN (Galatians 4:4-9)
(Leader)
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son,
born of woman, born under the law,
to redeem those who were under the law,
so that we might receive adoption as sons.
(Congregation)
And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son
into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!"
So you are no longer a slave, but a son, and if a son, then an heir through God.
Formerly, when you did not know God,
you were enslaved to those that by nature are not gods.
But now that you have come to know God,
or rather to be known by God,
how can you turn back again
to the weak and worthless elementary principles of the world,
whose slaves you want to be once more?
Silent prayer, confessing our sin.
THE LORD ’S PRAYER
Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory for ever. Amen.
ASSURANCE OF PARDON (Ephesians 1:7-8)
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in
accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us with all
wisdom and understanding.
Jesus is good to
lead us from the
sorrow and
shame of our sins
into the security
and joy of His
grace.
The reading of
scripture, which
exposes our sin.

HYMN OF ASSURANCE (see page 7)
O GREAT GOD
DECLARATION OF FAITH THE HEIDELBERG CATECHISM
(Leader) Q.1. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
(ALL) 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 set me free 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, assures me of eternal life
and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready
from now on to live for him.
