Glory be to the Father And to the Son And to the Holy Ghost As it was in the beginning, Is now and ever shall be, World without end! Amen, amen

Call to Worship (our ancient writings usher us into this ritual) Why do we worship? Daniel 7:13-14 As I watched in the night visions I saw one like the Son of Man, Coming on the clouds of heaven. And He came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before Him. To the Son of Man was given by the Ancient of Days: Dominion and glory and kingship, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, His kingship is one that will never be destroyed.

The Lord be with you And also with you. Lifu up your hearts We lifu them up to God.

PSALM 2 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? The kings of the earth set themselves The rulers take counsel together Against the I AM and Against His Anointed, saying “Let us burst Their bonds apart and Cast away Their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens laughs The Lord thinks of them as a joke He will speak to them then in His anger He will terrify them in His fury, saying, “As for Me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill.”

I will tell of the decree The I AM said to me, “You are My Son; today I have begotten You Ask of Me and I will make the nations Your inheritance The ends of the earth Your possession You shall break them with a rod of iron You will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” Now therefore, O kings Be wise and Be warned O rulers of the earth Serve the I AM with fear Rejoice with trembling Kiss the Son! Lest He be angry and you’re destroyed along the way His rage is kindled in a flash! Blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

I Will Offer Up My Life I will offer up my life Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring In spirit and truth To so faithful a friend, to so loving a King Pouring out the oil of love Savior, what can be said, what can be sung As my worship to You As a praise of Your name In surrender I must give For the things You have done. My every part Oh, my words could not tell, Lord receive the sacrifice Not even in part, Of a broken heart. Of the debt of love that is owed By this thankful heart.

You deserve my every breath Jesus, what can I give, what can I bring For You've paid the great cost To so faithful a friend, to so loving a King Giving up Your life to death, Savior, what can be said, what can be sung Even death on a cross As a praise of Your name You took all my shame away For the things You have done. There defeated my sin Oh, my words could not tell, Opened up the gates of heaven Not even in part, And have beckoned me in. Of the debt of love that is owed By this thankful heart.

Confession (we approach God, repenting from sin) Heidelberg Catechism, Questions 41-44 45. Q. How does Christ’s resurrection benefit us? A. First, by His resurrection He has overcome death and so makes us share in the righteousness He purchased for us by His death. Second, by His same power we are raised up to a new life. Third, Christ’s resurrection is a certain promise of our own glorious resurrection. 46. Q. What does it mean when we say, “He ascended into heaven?” A. That Christ, before the eyes of His disciples, was taken up from earth into heaven, and that He is there for our benefit, until He comes again to judge the living and the dead.

James 2:3-6 If anyone does not stumble in what he says He is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us We guide their whole bodies as well Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds They are guided by a very small rudder, as the will of the pilot directs So also the tongue is a small body part, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our body parts and can stain the whole body Setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.

Dear Father, Forgive us for not having control over our language and speech. We confess the sins of our mouths, the names we’ve called people who are different than us, the times we talked about other people’s sins, the times we cursed in anger or spoke too quickly. Forgive us for the word fires we have burned others with. Forgive us and put Your Spirit in our mouths and hearts. Give us new words of life, praise, encouragement, tenderness, and peace! In the Name of Jesus we pray. Amen. Silence

Absolution What does Christ promise us in Ezekiel 36? I will sprinkle clean water on you We will be clean from all our filthiness I will wash you from all your idols We will get a new heart I will put a new spirit inside you We will get rid of our stony hearts I will give you a heart of flesh We will have Your Spirit inside us I will cause you to walk in My commands We will keep Your laws and do them You will be My people, and I will be your God You will save us from all our sin

Let us bless the Lord! Praise Him with highest praise! What sort of church are we seeking God to make us? Acts 2:42-45 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need.
