Welcome to Skyview! Please let us know that you are here by signing the black notebook at the end of each pew. PRAISE The Call to Worship Heb. 4:14; Rev. 5:10, 12 Jesus Christ has come into heaven and is at God s right hand with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him. Since we have a great high priest who has gone into heaven Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. Let us praise his holy name! Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb! Blessing, glory, wisdom, thanks, honor, power, and strength be to our God forevermore! Alleluia, Amen! Alleluia! The Prayer of Invocation and Lord s Prayer 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. 3

Come, Christians, Join to Sing, #302 5
RENEWAL The Call to Renewal John 12:13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel! Prayer of Repentance O King of Glory, we confess that our praise of your majesty has often been faint, our performance as citizens of your kingdom treasonous. For we have surrendered to the enemy by our secret and our known sins. For our treason you died, Lord Jesus. For our restoration, you rose again. Draw us closer to you in this holy week, that our eyes may catch the vision of your tears, and our hearts, the wonder of your grace. By the Holy Spirit s continuing discipline, let us be loyal and loving servants of the King. Praise be to you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. 6
Confession of Our Common Faith The Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day He arose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. 7
The Hymn of Preparation O Sacred Head, Now Wounded, #247 8
Words of Forgiveness Matthew 11: 28-30 Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. COMMITMENT The Reading of God s Holy Word Matthew 27: 45-47 Pew Bible Pg. 541 45 Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land until the ninth hour. 46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? 47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said, This man is calling Elijah. 9
The Sermon Pastor Rick Vasquez The Last Words: The Cry of Forsakenness Preparing for Easter Apostles Creed Suffered under PP Crucified Dead Buried Descended into hell History Suffered under PP Crucified Descended into hell on the cross Dead Buried The Giving of Our Tithes and Offerings* The offering is a way for Christians to support the mission and ministry of the church. Christians offer a sacrificial portion of their resources time, talents, possessions as an act of faith and gratitude in response to God s grace. The giving of our tithes and offerings is a part of our worship service as an opportunity for the regular, proportionate and generous sharing of the resources God has given us. *Online giving is also available at skyviewpca.org/giving.
