2 Sequoyah Hills Presbyterian Church ORDER OF WORSHIP February 14, 2016 Eight thirty and Eleven O clock We are glad that you are here worshipping with us and blessing us with your presence. Please use the meditation verse to prayerfully prepare to worship. FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT OPENING SENTENCES AND PASSING THE PEACE:... Andy Long MEDITATION: Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. No one, when tempted, should say, I am being tempted by God ; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one (James 1:12-13). SILENT PRAYER GATHERING IN GOD S PRESENCE PRELUDE: My Song Is Love Unknown... Karl Osterland WELCOME AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR DISCIPLESHIP... Dr. Holton Siegling CHORAL INTROIT The attendance registers are in the pews, next to the center aisle. Please sign and pass them on to the person sitting next to you. CALL TO WORSHIP... Dr. William Barron People: People: All: In the wilderness of life, we have hope: We live by the Word of the Lord. In the face of temptation, we proclaim: We worship the Lord our God alone. Let us worship God! * HYMN OF PRAISE: Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee... Hymn No. 464 * PRAYER OF CONFESSION (In Unison): Merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you. We desire earthly kingdoms and dismiss your heavenly realm. We seek to provide for ourselves and spurn the bread of life you offer. Forgive us, God of grace. Teach us to rely on your saving word, to trust in your sustaining care, and to worship and serve you alone; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. * SILENT CONFESSION * ASSURANCE OF PARDON Jesus, for the sake of the joy that lay ahead of Him, endured the cross, making light of its disgrace, and has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of God.

3 People: Our faith depends on Him from start to finish, and He unceasingly intercedes on our behalf. Therein lies our hope and assurance. In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven. * GLORIA PATRI (congregation sings): 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. CHILDREN S TIME... Mary Emily Morris (As the children come forward, the congregation shall sing He s Got the Whole World in His Hands ) He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. He's got you and me brother in His hands. He's got you and me sister in His hands. He's got everybody here in his hands. He's got the whole world in His hands. (Following the Children s Time, children age four through first grade should meet their greeters for Children & Worship. Children should be picked up in the hallway below the Sanctuary after the worship service.) LISTENING FOR GOD * ANTHEM: All For Love... Robert Young Jesu, Jesu, Born to die upon the Tree, Blessed be that Maid Marie: Born he was of her body; Very God ere time began, Born in time the Son of Man. Jesu, Jesu, Born to die upon the Tree; He at Bethlehem was born, Salem gave him crown of thorn, Life of want and death of scorn, All for love, all for love, love of man forlorn. Jesu, Jesu, Born to die upon the Tree; Jesu, Jesu, Born to set us free. Jesu, Jesu, Blessed Jesu. OLD TESTAMENT LESSON: Genesis 22: Pew Bible, Page 17 PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE... Dr. William Barron 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 and the power and the glory, forever. Amen. * HYMN OF WORSHIP: Nearer My God to Thee... (words printed below) Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee! E en though it be a cross that raiseth me; Still all my song shall be, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down. Darkness be over me, my rest a stone; Yet in my dreams I d be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee,

4 There let the way appear, Steps unto heaven; All that thou sendest me, In mercy given; Angels to beckon me Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, Then with my waking thoughts Bright with thy praise, Out of my stony griefs Bethel I ll raise; So by my woes to be Nearer, my God, to Thee, Nearer, my God, to Thee, NEW TESTAMENT LESSON: Luke 4: Pew Bible, Page 61 People: This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. SERMON: Any Shoes But These... Dr. Holton Siegling * DOXOLOGY (congregation sings): * PRAYER OF DEDICATION RESPONDING TO GOD S WORD Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen. OFFERTORY: Blessed Assurance... Ralph Manuel Alexandria Shiner, soprano; Allison Deady, mezzo soprano * THE APOSTLES CREED: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen. * HYMN OF DEDICATION: Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound... Hymn No. 280 * CHARGE AND BENEDICTION * CONGREGATIONAL RESPONSE:...
