2 CHRIST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH of the PCA Gathered to Worship January 27, 2019 Chimes Welcome and Announcements Prelude The prelude is a sacred curtain dropped between the world and our time of worship. 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 (#32) Great Is Thy Faithfulness *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 1:8-9 If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 2

3 *Affirmation Of Faith The Nicene Creed Unison: We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; who for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; whose Kingdom shall have no end. And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of Life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets. and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church; we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins, and we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. *Gloria Patri 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. 3

4 Hymn (#642) Prayer of Consecration Offertory *Doxology 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.

Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts; as we forgive our debtors.

5 The Heidelberg Catechism Q & A # Minister: All: Minister: All: What further benefit do we receive from the sacrifice and death of Christ on the cross? That by His power our old man is crucified, slain, and buried with Him, that so the evil lusts of the flesh may no more reign in is, but that we may offer ourselves unto Him a sacrifice of thanksgiving. Why is there added, He descended into hell? That in my greatest temptations I may be assured, and wholly comfort myself with this, that my Lord Jesus Christ, by His inexpressible anguish, pains terrors, and hellish agony in which He was plunged during all His sufferings, but especially on the cross, has delivered me from the anguish and torment of hell.

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!
