Call To Worship: Lord of All Our Days

O God, You are Lord of all our days and all our nights. Every star in heaven answers Your call and offers their joyful obedience. As we come to worship You today, stir our hearts to respond to You in like manner. As we end one week and begin another, grant us the peace of knowing we belong to You. Open our eyes to see the security of Your sovereignty and the wonders of Your love. To Your care we commend our souls. To Your will we bow our own. To Your grace we happily surrender, receiving from You what we have not deserved. Now we raise our glad hallelujahs! Now we offer You all glory and praise! O creator God, be blessed to receive our most grateful thanksgivings. Let every heart shout it aloud: Amen! Amen!

Classic Prayer: Cornelius Plantinga (1946- )

O God, your people give you hearty thanks for your matchless grace…Rescuer of the shamed, you reach into human pits to lift the fallen. We sink into addiction, and you come to heal. We sink into folly, and you come to correct. We sink into corruption, and you come to sanctify. Refuge of all who suffer, we look for shelter in the shadow of your wings. Rain and hail and wind beat on your wings, but they do not fold. They are spread like Jesus’s arms on the cross, spread out to protect all who seek shelter beneath them. O God, wondrous in love for sinners, we give you thanks for your saving grace. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Creed: Repentance and Faith

LEADER: What does it mean to repent?
PEOPLE: To repent means that I have a change of heart, turning from sin – fully serving myself – to serving God as I follow Jesus Christ. I need God’s help to make this change.

LEADER: What does it mean to have faith?
PEOPLE: To have faith means that I believe the Gospel is the truth: that Jesus died for my sins, rose from the dead and rules over my life. Therefore I entrust myself to Him as my Savior and I obey Him as my Lord.

LEADER: What does God grant in your new life in Christ?
PEOPLE: God grants me reconciliation with Him, forgiveness of my sins, union with Him in Christ, adoption into His family, citizenship in His kingdom, new life in the Holy Spirit and the promise of eternal life.
