Service for January 12, 2025

Welcome


Call to Worship


Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Philippians 2:9-11


Hymn # 296 All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!

1 All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall;

bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all;

bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all.


2 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,

who from his altar call;

extol the Stem of Jesse's rod,

and crown him Lord of all;

extol the Stem of Jesse's rod,

and crown him Lord of all.


3 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,

ye ransomed of the fall,

hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all;

hail him who saves you by his grace,

and crown him Lord of all.


4 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget

the wormwood and the gall,

go, spread your trophies at his feet,

and crown him Lord of all;

go, spread your trophies at his feet,

and crown him Lord of all.


5 Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe,

on this terrestrial ball,

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all;

to him all majesty ascribe,

and crown him Lord of all.


6 O that with yonder sacred throng

we at his feet may fall;

we'll join the everlasting song,

and crown him Lord of all;

we'll join the everlasting song,

and crown him Lord of all

Call To Confession


And God spoke all these words, saying:

2 “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 You shall have no other gods before Me.

4 You shall not make for yourself a carved image...5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them.

7 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain.

8 Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.

12 Honor your father and your mother.

13 You shall not murder.

14 You shall not commit adultery.

15 You shall not steal.

16 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

17 You shall not desire...anything that is your neighbor’s.


I acknowledged my sin to You,

And my iniquity I have not hidden.

I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”

And You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You

In a time when You may be found.

Psalm 32:5–6 (NKJV)


Confession of Sins


Let us, therefore, confess our sin, saying together:


“Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me... Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities” through Jesus your Son. Amen.


Word of Assurance


For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pities his children,

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

Psalm 103:11–13 (NKJV)


Song of Renewal


Gracious God my heart renew,

Make my spirit right and true;

Cast me not away from thee,

Let thy Spirit dwell in me;

Thy salvation's joy impart.

Steadfast make my willing heart.

#486, stanza 5 (Ps 51:10-11)


Scripture Lesson: Ephesians 1:1-2


Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God,


To the saints who are in Ephesus, and faithful in Christ Jesus:


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

Sermon

Hymn # 699 Like a River Glorious


1 Like a river glorious is God's perfect peace,

over all victorious in its bright increase;

perfect, yet it floweth fuller ev'ry day,

perfect, yet it groweth deeper all the way.


Refrain:

Stayed upon Jehovah, hearts are fully blest,

finding, as he promised, perfect peace and rest.


2 Hidden in the hollow of his blessed hand,

never foe can follow, never traitor stand;

not a surge of worry, not a shade of care,

not a blast of hurry, touch the spirit there. [Refrain]


3 Ev'ry joy or trial falleth from above,

traced upon our dial by the Sun of Love.

We may trust him fully all for us to do;

they who trust him wholly find him wholly true. [Refrain]


Prayer of the Church and the 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.”


Hymn # 460 Amazing Grace!


1 Amazing grace!– how sweet the sound–

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found,

was blind, but now I see.


2 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear

the hour I first believed!


3 Thro' many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.


4 The Lord has promised good to me,

his Word my hope secures;

he will my shield and portion be,

as long as life endures.


5 And when this flesh and heart shall fail,

and mortal life shall cease,

I shall possess within the veil

a life of joy and peace.


6 When we've been there ten thousand years,

bright shining as the sun,

we've no less days to sing God's praise

than when we've first begun.


Benediction
