Responsive Call to Worship: 1 Chronicles 16:23-29

Leader: Sing to the Lord, all the earth; Proclaim good tidings of His salvation from day to day.

All:         Tell of His glory among the nations, His wonderful deeds among all the peoples.

Leader: For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; He also is to be feared above all gods.

All:         For all the gods of the peoples are idols

Leader: But the Lord made the heavens.  Splendor and majesty are before Him, Strength and joy are in His place.

All:         Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples, Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory due His name;

Leader: Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the Lord in holy array.

Prayer of Adoration

Hymn of Praise: Hymnal #164 O For A Thousand Tongues to Sing

We Confess Our Sin

Responsive Reading: Adapted from WSC 53, 54; Heidelberg 99; Revelation 14: 7

Leader:    Which is the third commandment?

All:            The third commandment is, Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain: for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

Leader:    What is required in the third commandment?

All:            The third commandment requires the holy and reverent use of God’s names, titles, attributes, ordinances, Word, and works.  In summary, we should use the holy name of God only with reverence and awe, so that we may properly confess God, pray to God, and glorify God in all our words and works.

Leader:    Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters.

Confession of Sin & Assurance of Pardon: Ephesians 2: 1 – 10, Psalm 115: 1

Leader: And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—

All:         Among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

Leader: But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—

All:         And He has raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Leader: For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,  not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

All:         For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.   Not to us, O Lord, not to us, But to Your name give glory.  Because of Your lovingkindness, because of Your truth.

Prayer of God’s People

The Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, As we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
