THE CALL TO WORSHIP Hebrews 4:12; 2 Timothy 3:16-17

Pastor / CONGREGATION

The Word of God is living and active,

IT IS SHARPER THAN ANY

DOUBLE-EDGED SWORD;

It penetrates even to the dividing

of soul and spirit;

IT JUDGES THE THOUGHTS

AND ATTITUDES OF THE HEART.

All Scripture is God-breathed;

IT IS USEFUL FOR TEACHING,

REPROVING, CORRECTING,

and for training in right living

SO THAT THE PERSON OF GOD

may be thoroughly equipped

FOR EVERY GOOD WORK.

**THE OPENING HYMN

#408

‘HOW FIRM A FOUNDATION’

(1)

How firm a foundation,

you saints of the Lord,

Is laid for your faith

in His excellent Word!

What more can He say

than to you He has said,

To you who for refuge

to Jesus have fled.

(2)

Fear not, I am with you;

O be not dismayed,

For I am your God

and will still give you aid.

I’ll strengthen you, help you,

and cause you to stand,

Upheld by My righteous,

omnipotent hand.

(3)

When through fiery trials,

your pathway shall lie,

My grace, all sufficient,

shall be your supply:

The flame shall not hurt you;

I only design

Your loss to make strong,

and your gold to refine.

(4)

The soul that on Jesus

has leaned for repose,

I will not, I will not

desert to His foes;

That soul, though all hell

should endeavor to shake,

I’ll never, no never,

no never forsake!

SILENT PRAYERS OF

THANKSGIVING AND CONFESSION

THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON

1 John 1:5-7

This is the message we have heard from Him

and proclaim to you: It is that God is light

and in Him there is no darkness at all. And

so if we walk in the light as He is in the light,

we have fellowship with each other, and the

blood of Jesus cleanses us from all our sin.

A TIME OF SHARING WITH

GOD’S CHILDREN

OF ALL AGES

THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE

James 1:19-27 Read by Ron VanDyke

My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the Word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says!

Anyone who listens to the Word but does not

do what it says is like a man who looks at his

face in a mirror . . . and, after looking at

himself, goes away and immediately forgets

what he looks like.

But the man who looks intently into the

perfect Law that gives freedom, and continues

to do this, not forgetting what he has heard,

but doing it--he will be blessed in what he

does.

If anyone considers himself religious and yet

does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he

deceives himself and his religion is

worthless.

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure

and faultless is this: to look after orphans and

widows in their distress and to keep oneself

from being polluted by the world.

THE SONG OF PREPARATION

I Give All To You

1- I give all my service to You;

I give all my service to You;

No matter the cost or what others do

I give all my service to You.

2- I give all my problems to You.

I give all my problems to You.

No matter the cost or what others do.

I give all my problems to You.

3- I give all my future to You.

I give all my future to You.


I give all my future to You

4- I give all my worship to You.

I give all my worship to You.


I give all my worship to You.
