Psalm , 105, 111 * Hymn of Adoration No. 181 We Come, O Christ, to You DARWALL * Prayer of Adoration * Confession of Faith Dr. Pete Deison 8:00 The Rev. Brent Baker 9:30 Dr. Julian Russell 11:00 The whole counsel of God concerng all thgs necessary for His own glory, man's salvation, faith life, is either expressly set down Scripture, or by good necessary consequence may be deduced from Scripture: unto which nothg at any time is to be added, whether by new revelations of the Spirit, or traditions of men. Nevertheless, we acknowledge the ward illumation of the Spirit of God to be necessary for the savg understg of such thgs as are revealed the Word. All thgs Scripture are not alike pla themselves, nor alike clear unto all: yet those thgs which are necessary to be known, believed, observed for salvation, are so clearly propounded, opened some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, a due use of the ordary means, may atta unto a sufficient understg of them. Westmster Confession of Faith 1.6a7

2 * Hymn No. 179 Hallelujah! The the Glory THINE THE GLORY Public Confession of S We praise You, O God of light, that You there is no darkness at all. We are Y children; help us to walk as children of the light. Illume lives with Y Word of truth, that we might know selves see great need for You. Father, we confess before You the presence of one another those thgs which You alone can see; the chambers of hearts where we keep secret past, the part of us which nurtures sful desire, the pride that shields us from beg really honest with You with one another. We are afraid to be seen as we really are, yet, O God, You know us through through. Help me to see aga that Jesus died for all of my s, even those which I don t want to let go. Impress upon me that sce I have been crucified with Christ, that I am dead to my s. How can I go on livg it? Do I still love it? Do I want it more than I want You? Am I afraid of what will happen to me if I turn away from it? Lord, I cry out to You my need. Be pleased to help me, O God, through Jesus my Savior Light, who rescues me from the darkness. Private Confession Words of Assurance If we say we have fellowship with Him while we walk darkness, we lie do not practice the truth. But if we walk the light, as He is the light, we have fellowship with one another, the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all s. 1 John 1.67 Hymn of Praise God His Wisdom, for Our Learng QUELLE EST 9:30/11:00 words: Timothy DudleySmith 3 & # # & # # & # # & # # God Sym Come bol then His with wis sto prayer dom, ry, spired ho ly Word: truths for heart md, Scrip ture Christ is known; by ten here love a œ œ œ ú ú œ œ ú ú which der us por do est these souls care sa are for cred for song con 2 tem learn say pla g, g, tion, gave life see pro mise of Christ, for dis God His sov' reign grace dis won der a new at such sal moved hu pa burn tray g g, when, as o pen of ra tion, chil dren of œ ú œ œ œ œ œ stirred, man kd, ges shown; old, eyes God fd Je lift His to by g sus ev ery voice is seek grace a His bear how g œ œ œ ú œ œ ú ú œ œ œ œ ú œ ú œ ú œ œ œ ú ú œ œ œ œ œ cern g, play g va tion hearts Lord heart œ œ ú œ œ ú ú œ œ œ heard. fd. lone! with this
