During this time of preparation, you are encouraged to pray silently, asking the Holy Spirit to enable you to cling to and delight yourself in Christ. (Please silence all phones and electronic devices.) *Call to Worship *Affirmation of Praise (# 648) *Affirmation Of Faith Unison: Based on 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 My Jesus, I Love Thee The Gospel of Christ For the gospel has been given to us, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures for our justification. *Hymn (# 465 ) Prayer of Consecration Offertory Marvelous Grace of Our Loving Lord 2

Children (up to age 5) may be dismissed to nursery building AFTER the doxology. *Morning Prayer (closing with 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. *Choral Response Special Music The New Testament Lesson Romans 2:17-29 Minister: This is the Word of God. People: Thanks be to God! Prayer for Illumination Sermon Grace Alone Pastor Dick Jones *Collective Confession Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; We acknowledge that we were conceived and born in iniquity, and mourn our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against Your Divine Majesty, Provoking most justly Your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may hereafter Serve and please You In newness of life, To the honour and glory of Your Name; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. *Assurance of Pardon 1 John 2:1-2 Be comforted and hear the good tidings of the Gospel: If any man hath sinned, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world. 3

5 The Heidelberg Catechism Q & A # Question 16: Answer: Question 17: Answer: Question 18: Answer: Question 19: Answer: Why must He be a true and righteous man? Because the justice of God requires that the same human nature which has sinned should make satisfaction for sin, and because one who himself is a sinner cannot satisfy for others. Why must He withal be true God? That by the power of His Godhead He might bear in His human nature the burden of God s wrath; and that He might obtain for us, and restore to us, righteousness and life. But who is that Mediator who is at once true God and a true, righteous man? Our Lord Jesus Christ, who was made unto us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption. Whence do you know this? From the Holy Gospel, which God Himself first revealed in Paradise; afterwards published by the holy patriarchs and prophets, and foreshadowed by the sacrifices and other ceremonies of the law; and lastly fulfilled by His only begotten Son.

12 Mission Statement Seeking to make disciples as God s Word is taught and the people of God seek the Glory of God as they Worship in Spirit and in Truth. During that historic period known as The Reformation, men of great courage and conviction set about to reform a Church which had departed from many of the essential truths of Orthodox Christianity. These truths are often referred to as the solas. The Latin phrases are: Sola Scriptura or The Scripture Alone! Solus Christus or Christ Alone! Sola Gratia or Grace Alone! Sole Fide or Faith Alone! Soli Deo Gloria!
