Call To Worship: Steady Dependence
Compose our spirits to a quiet and steady dependence
on Your good providence,
that we may not be anxious for anything,
but by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
still make known our requests to You, our God.
Help us to pray always and not faint;
in everything to give thanks,
and offer up the sacrifice of praise continually;
to rejoice in hope of Your glory;
to possess our souls in patience;
and to learn in whatsoever state we are,
there to be content.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen!

Classic Prayer: John Chrysostom
Creed: What is Justification?
Leader: What is justification?
People: Justification is an act of God’s free grace by which He pardons all our sins and accepts us as righteous in His sight, only because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to us, received by faith alone.
Leader: What is adoption?
People: Adoption is an act of God’s free grace by which we are received into the number of the sons of God and have a right to all the privileges of them.
Leader: What is sanctification?
People: Sanctification is the work of God’s free grace by which we are renewed in our whole person in the image of God and by which we are enabled more and more to die to sin and live to righteousness.
