Prelude
Call to Worship - Ephesians 1:3–6
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places, even as he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him. In love he predestined us for adoption through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace, with which he has blessed us in the Beloved.
Invocation

4. What does the law of God require of us?
Christ teaches us that, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. This is the first and the great commandment; and the second is like unto it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets” (Matt. 22:37–40).
5. Can you keep all these things perfectly?
In no [way]; for I am prone by nature to hate God and my neighbor.
*Hymn No. 81 - O Love of God, How Strong and True
Confession of Sin - (responsive)
Holy Lord, we have sinned time and time again.
We have been guilty of pride and unbelief. We have failed to obey your Word and neglected you in our daily lives.
Our transgressions and sin accuse us. But we thank you that they have been placed on Jesus Christ and put away.
Accept us in his name, and grant us grace to live new lives.
Purge us from every false desire, every unworthy aspiration, everything that is contrary to your rule.
Deliver us from our sins. Let us draw near to you through Jesus Christ, and bless us through his Name.
Assurance of Pardon - 1 John 1:8–9
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Call to Worship - Psalm 98:1–2
Oh sing to the LORD a new song, for he has done marvelous things! His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The LORD has made known his salvation; he has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations.
Invocation
*Hymn No. 196 - Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus
Scripture Reading - John 1:1–14
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness, to bear witness about the light, that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to bear witness about the light.
The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not know him. He came to his own, and his own people did not receive him. But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.
Prayer of Confession - (responsive)
Almighty God, we are unworthy to come into your presence, because of our many sins.
We have sinned against you, O Lord, and do not deserve your mercy.
And yet you are a gracious God, a loving and kind Father, to all who come to you in faith.
For the sake of your Son, our Savior, show us your mercy.
Forgive us all our sins.
Assurance of Pardon - Isaiah 43:25
I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins.
*Hymn No. 197 - Comfort, Comfort Ye My People
