Call To Worship: Psalm 33

ALL:
Shout for joy in the LORD, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright.
Give thanks to the LORD with the lyre; make melody to Him with the harp of ten strings!
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully on the strings, with loud shouts.

MEN:
For the word of the LORD is upright, and all His work is done in faithfulness.
He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD.

WOMEN:
By the word of the LORD the heavens were made
and by the breath of His mouth all their host.
He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap; He puts the deeps in storehouses.

ALL:
Let all the earth fear the LORD; let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him!
For He spoke, and it came to be; He commanded, and it stood firm.

Classic Prayer: John Calvin

Grant, Almighty God, that as you shine on us by your Word,
we may not be blind at midday, nor willfully seek darkness,
and thus lull our minds asleep; but may we be roused daily
by your words, and may we stir up ourselves more and more
to fear your name and thus present ourselves and all our
pursuits as a sacrifice to you, that you may peaceably rule, and
perpetually dwell in us, until you gather us to your celestial
habitation, where there is reserved for us eternal rest and
glory, through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Creed: What is Our Standard for Belief and Behavior?

Leader: What do the Scriptures primarily teach?
People: The Scriptures primarily teach what we are to believe concerning God and what duty God requires of us.

Leader: What is God’s law?
People: God’s law is God’s direct pronouncement of His will, both for our good and for His glory.

Leader: How did Jesus summarize God’s law?
People: Jesus summarized God’s law by saying, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.”

Leader: How did Jesus fulfill God’s law?
People: For our sake, Jesus fulfilled God’s law by teaching it perfectly, submitting to it wholly, and dying as an atoning sacrifice for our disobedience. As we trust in Jesus’ fulfillment of the law for us and live in the power of the Holy Spirit, God grants us grace to love and obey His law.
