Affirmation of Faith (To be read responsively) Rev. Tim TinsleyMatthew 25:31-36Pastor: When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with
Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne. Before Him will be gathered all the nations, and He will separate people one from an-other as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And He will place the sheep on His right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on His right, “Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. . .
People: . . . For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave Me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed Me, I was na-ked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you visited Me, I was in prison and you came to Me.”
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.
Confession of Sin (To be read in unison) Rev. Robert RowI am always going into the far country and always returning home as a prodigal, always saying, “Father, forgive me.” And You are always bring-ing forth the best robe. Every morning let me wear it, every evening return in it, go out to the day’s work in it, be married in it, be wrapped in death in it, stand before the great white throne in it, enter heaven in it shining as the sun. grant me to never lose sight of the exceeding sinfulness of sin, the exceeding righteousness of Christ, the exceeding grace of god, the exceeding beauty of holiness, and the exceeding wonder of grace.
Silent Confession of Sin

Entrance into the kingdom, then, does turn on obedience after all—not the obedience which earns merit points, but which bows to Jesus’ lordship in everything and without reservation. Such obedience necessarily blends with genuine repentance, making the two almost one. Within this framework, the issue of obedi-ence is everything. The previous verses [Matthew 7:21-23] have just shown this to be so; and now Jesus draws the Sermon on the Mount to a close with a paragraph introduced by a telling “There-fore.” Because only the one who does the will of his Father will enter the kindgom, Jesus says—
“24Therefore, everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash” (Matt. 7:24-27).
