4 Welcome To Worship GATHERING SONG The Love of Christ is Rich and Free

5 WELCOME Please stand if you are able. Bill Burkhalter To all who are weary and need rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who feel worthless and wonder if God cares; to all who fail and desire strength; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who hunger and thirst for righteousness; and to whoever will come - this church opens wide her doors and offers her welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. CALL TO WORSHIP based on Revelation 7:9-12 Leader: Leader: Leader: Let us worship the triune God! Lord, open our lips! And our mouths shall declare your praise! Praise be to the Father, the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb! And all the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell on their faces before the throne and worshipped God, saying, Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to our God forever and ever! Amen! PRAYER OF ADORATION

6 SONG OF PRAISE Please stand if you are able. The Lord is King EXHORTATION TO CONFESS OUR SIN from Philippians 4:12-13 Bill Burkhalter Leader: I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.

7 SONG OF CONFESSION Lesser Loves SILENT CONFESSION Reflections - In this quiet moment, ask God to simply lead you to rest in His goodness. What is ruling your life? What has taken on saving power for you? Bring this to God. Offer what rules your heart to God and, resting in Jesus, say goodbye to it.

8 ASSURANCE OF PARDON IN THE GOSPEL based on Romans 8:15-17 Leader: You did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When you cry, Abba! Father! it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ. In Christ, by the power of the Spirit, we are forgiven. Thanks be to God! SONG OF THANKSGIVING Please stand if you are able. O Worship the King CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER The Lord s Prayer Brandon Edmonds 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, for ever and ever. Amen.

9 OFFERTORY Please worship through singing and/or reflective meditation. In Christ Alone

10 SCRIPTURE READING: Daniel 1 Please stand if you are able. Justin Holroyd 1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. 2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with some of the vessels of the house of God. And he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and placed the vessels in the treasury of his god. 3 Then the king commanded Ashpenaz, his chief eunuch, to bring some of the people of Israel, both of the royal family and of the nobility, 4 youths without blemish, of good appearance and skillful in all wisdom, endowed with knowledge, understanding learning, and competent to stand in the king's palace, and to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans. 5 The king assigned them a daily portion of the food that the king ate, and of the wine that he drank. They were to be educated for three years, and at the end of that time they were to stand before the king. 6 Among these were Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah of the tribe of Judah. 7 And the chief of the eunuchs gave them names: Daniel he called Belteshazzar, Hananiah he called Shadrach, Mishael he called Meshach, and Azariah he called Abednego. 8 But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king's food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself. 9 And God gave Daniel favor and compassion in the sight of the chief of the eunuchs, 10 and the chief of the eunuchs said to Daniel, I fear my lord the king, who assigned your food and your drink; for why should he see that you were in worse condition than the youths who are of your own age? So you would endanger my head with the king. 11 Then Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had assigned over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, 12 Test your servants for ten days; let us be given vegetables to eat and water to drink. 13 Then let our appearance and the appearance of the youths who eat the king's food be observed by you, and deal with your servants according to what you see. 14 So he listened to them in this matter, and tested them for ten days. 15 At the end of ten days it was seen that they were better in appearance and fatter in flesh than all the youths who ate the king's food. 16 So the steward took away their food and the wine they were to drink, and gave them vegetables. 17 As for these four youths, God gave them learning and skill in all literature and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams. 18 At the end of the time, when the king had commanded that they should be brought in, the chief of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 19 And the king spoke with them, and among all of them none was found like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Therefore they stood before the king. 20 And in every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his kingdom. 21 And Daniel was there until the first year of King Cyrus. Isaiah 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, but the Word of our God will stand forever.

11 Leader: This is the Word of God! Thanks be to God! PRAYER FOR THE CHURCH S CHILDREN Children ages 4-9 are dismissed for Children s Instruction. Parents are welcome, however, to have children stay with them throughout the service. TODAY S MESSAGE Text: Daniel 1 Brandon Edmonds GRACE IN CATASTROPHE TODAY S BIG QUESTION Are your emotional regularly connecting with God s sovereignty in your life?

12 PREPARING FOR THE LORD S SUPPER Affirming Our Faith: Westminster Shorter Catechism Q. 20 and Q. 21 Buster Williams Leader: Leader: Did God leave all mankind to perish in the estate of sin and misery? God, having out of his mere good pleasure, from all eternity, elected some to everlasting life, did enter into a covenant of grace to deliver them out of the estate of sin and misery, and to bring them into an estate of salvation by a Redeemer. Who is the Redeemer of God s elect? The only Redeemer of God s elect is the Lord Jesus Christ, who, being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person, forever. MINISTER S WELCOME TO THE TABLE based on Luke 13:29, Romans 8:32 From east and west, from north and south, people will come and take their places at the banquet in the kingdom of God. He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things? Come then to the joyful feast of the Lord and be transformed. Minister: Minister: Minister: Minister: Great is the mystery of faith: Christ has died! Christ has risen! Christ is coming again! Praise to you, Lord Jesus: Dying you destroyed our death. Rising you restored our life. Lord Jesus, come in glory. According to his commandment: We remember his death, we proclaim his resurrection, we await his coming in glory. Christ the bread of life: When we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim your death, Lord Jesus, until you come in glory. BLESSING BY THE MINISTER As Paul said to the Corinthians, so I say to you, Christ the Passover Lamb is sacrificed for us. Let us keep the feast!

13 COMMUNION AT TRINITY WHO IS INVITED TO TAKE PART? All baptized believers who have professed their faith before the leadership of a Bible believing congregation that teaches the Christian faith in terms of faith alone in Christ are invited to join us at the Lord s Table. We ask that children wait to partake in the Lord s Supper until they have met with the Elders and professed faith publicly. WHAT IF I AM NOT READY? If you or your children are not ready to partake in the Lord s Supper, you are invited to come forward and ask the Elders to pray for you. You may also remain in your seat to sing, pray or meditate. WHAT IS THE PROCESS? We dismiss by rows and come forward, beginning with the middle sections, then moving to the outer sections. With the elements of the Supper in hand, return to your seat and take the elements when you are ready. We encourage you to sing, pray or meditate on the finished work of Christ at this time. PRAYER OF SEARCHING FOR TRUTH: Lord Jesus, you claim to be the way, the truth and the life. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open to me the reality of who you are. Grant that I might be undaunted by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for doing so. Give me an understanding of you that is coherent, convincing and leads to the life you promise. Amen. PRAYER OF BELIEVING IN JESUS: Lord Jesus, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever before believed. But through you, I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared to hope. I thank you for paying my debt, bearing my punishment on the cross and offering forgiveness and new life. Knowing that you have been raised from the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my savior. Amen. PRAYER FOR STRUGGLING AGAINST SIN: Lord Jesus, grant that I may see in you the fulfillment of all my needs, and may turn from every false satisfaction to feed on you - the true and living bread. Enable me to lay aside the sin that clings so closely to me, and run with perseverance the race that you have set before me, looking only to you, the pioneer and champion of my faith. Amen
