1 Order for the Worship of God Park Cities Presbyterian Church July 10, :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.

2 * Prayer of Adoration * Confession of Faith Mr. Stephen Nielson, Elder 8:00 The Rev. Patrick Lafferty 9:30 Dr. Pete Deison 11:00 Minister: Christian, what is your only comfort, in life and in death? People: That I belong body and soul, in life and in death not to myself, but to my faithful Savior, Jesus Christ, who at the cost of His own blood has fully paid for all my sins and has completely freed me from the dominion of the devil; that He protects me so well that without the will of my Father in heaven not a hair can fall from my head; indeed, that everything must fit His purpose for my salvation. Therefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him. The Heidelberg Catechism, Question 1 * Hymn No. 172 Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder ALL SAINTS OLD Public Confession of Sin Heavenly Father, we praise and thank You for Your steadfast, neverending love. We cannot possibly comprehend Your deep affection for us, that You did not spare Your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, but freely gave Him up for our salvation. We confess, Lord, that our inability to take in the fullness of Your love has caused us to limit Your love: we complain when things do not go our way; we are impatient with You when answers do not come when we want them; we often have little hope that You might save someone we know. When we limit Your love for us, we no doubt limit our love for others: we put our priorities first; we cast blame and judge rather than having patience or pity; we protect our own integrity at the cost of another s. O Lord, forgive us our selfishness! Enlarge our hearts and our minds, give us strength to comprehend the incredible dimension of Your love for us in Christ Jesus, our Lord. Private Confession Words of Assurance O Israel, hope in the LORD! For with the LORD there is steadfast love, and with Him is plentiful redemption. And He will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. Psalm

4 We Hear and Respond to God's Word Moses came and told the people all the words of the LORD and all the rules. And all the people answered with one voice and said, All the words that the LORD has spoken we will do. Exodus 24.3 * The Scripture Reading Hosea 3 And the Lord said to me, Go again, love a woman who is loved by another man and is an adulteress, even as the Lord loves the children of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins. 2 So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley. 3 And I said to her, You must dwell as mine for many days. You shall not play the whore, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you. 4 For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or household gods. 5 Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to His goodness in the latter days.
