Invocation

Scripture: Isaiah 49:1-7

1 Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother's womb he named me.

2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away.

3 And he said to me, "You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified."

4 But I said, "I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God."

5 And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength—

6 he says, "It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth."

7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, "Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you."

“Called Unto Holiness”

Hymn #503

“Called unto holiness,” ​

Church of our God,​

Purchase of Jesus, ​

redeemed by His blood;​

​

Called from the world ​

and its idols to flee, ​

Called from the bondage ​

of sin to be free.​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

is our watch-word and song;​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

as we’re marching along.​

Sing it, shout it, loud and long:​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

now and forever.​

“Called unto holiness,” ​

children of light,​

Walking with Jesus ​

in garments of white;​

Raiment unsullied, ​

nor tarnished with sin;​

God’s Holy Spirit abiding within.​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

is our watch-word and song;​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

as we’re marching along.​

Sing it, shout it, loud and long:​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

now and forever.​

“Called unto holiness” ​

praise His dear name!​

This blessed secret ​

to faith now made plain:​

Not our own righteousness, ​

but Christ within,​

Living and reigning ​

and saving from sin.​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

is our watch-word and song;​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

as we’re marching along.​

Sing it, shout it, loud and long:​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

now and forever.​

“Called unto holiness,” ​

bride of the Lamb,​

Waiting the Bridegroom’s ​

returning again!​

Lift up your heads, ​

for the day draw-eth near​

When in His beauty ​

the King shall appear!​

​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

is our watch-word and song;​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

as we’re marching along.​

Sing it, shout it, loud and long:​

“Holiness unto the Lord”​

now and forever.​

​

“Glorious Freedom”

Hymn #505

Once I was bound ​

by sin’s galling fetters;​

Chained like a slave, I struggled in vain.​

But I received a glorious freedom​

When Jesus broke my fetters in twain.​

Glorious freedom!​

Wonderful freedom!​

No more in chains of sin I repine!​

Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-​

Now and forever He shall be mine.​

Freedom from all the carnal affections;​

Freedom from envy, hatred, and strife;​

Freedom from vain ​

and worldly ambitions;​

Freedom from all that saddened my life!​

Glorious freedom!​

Wonderful freedom!​

No more in chains of sin I repine!​

Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-​

Now and forever He shall be mine.​

Freedom from pride and​

all sinful follies;​

Freedom from love and glitter of gold;​

Freedom from evil temper and anger;​

Glorious freedom, rapture untold!​

Glorious freedom!​

Wonderful freedom!​

No more in chains of sin I repine!​

Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-​

Now and forever He shall be mine.​

Freedom from fear ​

with all of its torments;​

Freedom from care with all of its pain;​

Freedom in Christ, ​

my blessed Redeemer-​

He who has rent my fetters in twain.​

Glorious freedom!​

Wonderful freedom!​

No more in chains of sin I repine!​

Jesus, the glorious Emancipator-​

Now and forever He shall be mine.​

Scripture: Psalm 40:1-11

1 I waited patiently for the Lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry.

2 He drew me up from the desolate pit, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.

3 He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.

4 Happy are those who make the Lord their trust, who do not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after false gods.

5 You have multiplied, O Lord my God, your wondrous deeds and your thoughts toward us; none can compare with you. Were I to proclaim and tell of them, they would be more than can be counted.

6 Sacrifice and offering you do not desire, but you have given me an open ear. Burnt offering and sin offering you have not required.

7 Then I said, "Here I am; in the scroll of the book it is written of me.

8 I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart."

9 I have told the glad news of deliverance in the great congregation; see, I have not restrained my lips, as you know, O Lord.

10 I have not hidden your saving help within my heart, I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation; I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness from the great congregation.

11 Do not, O Lord, withhold your mercy from me; let your steadfast love and your faithfulness keep me safe forever

Invitation

Confession

Pardon

Peace

Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,​

who earnestly repent of their sin​   and seek to live in peace with one another.​Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

Merciful God, We confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church.​​

We have not done your will, we have broken your law,

we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy.​

Hear the good news,

Christ died for us while we were still sinners,

which proves God’s love for us. ​In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven

In the name of Jesus Christ, You Are forgiven​

Glory to God, Amen. ​

Tithes & Offering

Doxology

Praise God, from ​whom all blessings flow; ​

Praise Him, ​all creatures here below; ​

Praise Him above, ​ye heav'nly host; ​

Praise Father, Son ​and Holy Ghost. Amen​

Joys & Concerns

Scripture: John 1:29-42

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him and declared, "Here is the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

30 This is he of whom I said, "After me comes a man who ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'

31 I myself did not know him; but I came baptizing with water for this reason, that he might be revealed to Israel."

32 And John testified, "I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him.

33 I myself did not know him, but the one who sent me to baptize with water said to me, "He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.'

34 And I myself have seen and have testified that this is the Son of God."

35 The next day John again was standing with two of his disciples,

36 and as he watched Jesus walk by, he exclaimed, "Look, here is the Lamb of God!"

37 The two disciples heard him say this, and they followed Jesus.

38 When Jesus turned and saw them following, he said to them, "What are you looking for?" They said to him, "Rabbi" (which translated means Teacher), "where are you staying?"

39 He said to them, "Come and see." They came and saw where he was staying, and they remained with him that day. It was about four o'clock in the afternoon.

40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed him was Andrew, Simon Peter's brother.

41 He first found his brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which is translated Anointed ).

42 He brought Simon to Jesus, who looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John. You are to be called Cephas" (which is translated Peter ).

Scripture: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes,

2 To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours:

3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus,

5 for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind—

6 just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you—

7 so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Communion

The Communion Supper, instituted by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is a sacrament, which proclaims His life, His sufferings, His sacrificial death and resurrection, and the hope of His coming again. Brothers and sisters in Christ,​the Christian life is redeemed from sin and consecrated to God.​The Supper is a means of grace in which Christ is present

by the Spirit. ​

It is to be received in reverent appreciation and gratefulness for the work of Christ. All those who are truly repentant, forsaking their sins, and believing in Christ for salvation are invited to participate in the death and resurrection of Christ. We come to the table that we may be renewed in life and salvation and be made one by the Spirit. ​

In unity with the Church, we confess our faith: ​Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again. ​

Holy God, We gather at this, your table, in the name of your Son, Jesus Christ, who by your Spirit was anointed to preach good news to the poor, proclaim release to the captives, set at liberty those who are oppressed.​

2-17 Christ healed the sick, fed the hungry, ate with sinners, and established the new covenant for forgiveness of sins. We live in the hope of His coming again. ​

On the night in which He was betrayed, He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.​

Likewise, when the supper was over, he took the cup, gave thanks, gave it to His disciples, and said: “Drink from this, all of you, this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this in remembrance of me.” Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. ​

And so, we gather as the Body of Christ to offer ourselves to you in praise and thanksgiving. Pour out your Holy Spirit on us and on these your gifts. Make them by the power of your Spirit to be for us the body and blood of Christ, that we may be for the world the Body of Christ, redeemed by His blood. ​

By your Spirit make us one in Christ, one with each other, and one in the ministry of Christ to all the world, until Christ comes in final victory. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, let us pray: ​

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen​

Benediction

Our mission is to love people so that

they become Disciples of Christ!
