1 Order for the Worship of God Park Cities Presbyterian Church May 29, :00, 9:30 and 11:00 am To all who are spiritually weary and seek rest; to all who mourn and long for comfort; to all who struggle and desire victory; to all who sin and need a Savior; to all who are strangers and want fellowship; to all who hunger and thirst after righteousness; and to all who will come, this church opens wide her doors and offers welcome in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Prelude Trumpet Tune Nicholas Bowden Call to Worship The Rev. Ron Williams 8:00 The Rev. Chad Scruggs 9:30/11:00 Minister: The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, People: But the Lord laughs at the wicked, for He sees that his day is coming.

2 * Profession of Faith The Rev. Bill Lamberth 8:00 The Rev. Paul Goebel 9:30 The Rev. Tommy Overton 11:00 We confess and acknowledge one God alone, to whom alone we must cleave, whom alone we must serve, whom only we must worship, and in whom alone we put our trust. Who is eternal, infinite, immeasurable, incomprehensible, omnipotent, invisible; one in substance and yet distinct in three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. By whom we confess and believe all things in heaven and earth, visible and invisible, to have been created, to be retained in their being, and to be ruled and guided by His inscrutable providence for such end as His eternal wisdom, goodness, and justice have appointed, and to the manifestation of His own glory. Amen. The Old Scot s Confession * Hymn No. 630 Eternal Father, Strong to Save MELITA Public Confession of Sin O mighty King of Glory, You are the Captain of our lives and the Ruler of the world. Give us aid to enthrone You in our hearts this day. Subdue in us that which is not holy, and summon our allegiance during the hour of our tempting. At Your name every knee will bow throughout the entire creation. Empower us to make You known in this city, in this world, and help us now to bow our hearts in humble petition before Your throne of justice and mercy. Grant us pardon, teach us humility, and bind our hearts to Christ, our Lord and selfless King. Private Confession Words of Assurance and Pardon of the Gospel Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Happy are those to whom the Lord imputes no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. Psalm

4 * The Scripture Reading Psalm 2 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, 3 "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us." 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 5 Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 "As for Me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy hill." 7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, "You are My Son; today I have begotten You. 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations Your heritage, and the ends of the earth Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." 10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

9 Order of Worship for the Home The Week of May 29, 2016 Praise Call to Worship (everyone together) The salvation of the righteous is from the LORD; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. The LORD helps them and delivers them; He delivers them from the wicked and saves them, because they take refuge in Him. Hail to the Lord s Annointed (read or sing these words together) Hail to the Lord s Annointed, great David s greater Son! Hail, in the time appointed, His reign on earth begun! He comes to break oppression, to set the captive free, To take away transgression, and rule in equity. Hearing and Learning God s Word Scripture Reading: Psalm 2 (one person read the Scripture aloud) Questions for Discussion (may be answered in one worship time or spread over several times) 1. What do the nations have in common? 2. What is God s response to them? Why do you think He laughs? 3. Who is the Son that God installs as His leader? 4. How large is His kingdom? 5. What does it mean to kiss the Son? 6. How do we take refuge in Jesus? Scripture Memory for May: (memorize this verse of Scripture this month) Psalm The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love. Prayer Prayer (saying together) 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
