Welcome and Announcements


Meditation Passage

Romans 6:3-4

"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."


* Apostolic Greeting

Galatians 1:3


* God Calls His People to Worship

Revelation 5:1-5

Then I saw in the right hand of him who was seated on the throne a scroll written within and on the back, sealed with seven seals. And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming with a loud voice, “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” And no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or to look into it, and I began to weep loudly because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. And one of the elders said to me, “Weep no more; behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has conquered, so that he can open the scroll and its seven seals.”


* Invocation



God Commands His People:

Revelation 2:7

He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’


We Confess Our Faith

The Nicene Creed


Confession of Sin

(Silent confession followed by corporate confession)

Father, Son, and Spirit, the only true and living God, you have called us to love our enemies. You have called us to pray for those who persecute us. We confess that we have failed to do this. We confes that, far too often, we have only loved those who love us. We are so thankful that you have not dealt with us in this way. Forgive us for these sins. Remake us into the image of our Lord, Jesus Christ, who loved us and died for us even while we hated him. Grant us great kindness, patience, and compassion toward the lost who treat us poorly because we are yours, and thereby enable us to mirror the image of you, our Father, to a dying world.


Assurance of Pardon

Galatians 2:20

“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.



* Benediction

Hebrews 13:20-21

"Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen."
