*The Call to Worship - Psalm 36:7–9 & 150:6
How precious is your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings. They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights. For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light. Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Praise the LORD!
*The Invocation
*The Hymn of Adoration No. 6 - O Come, My Soul, Bless Thou the Lord
*The Corporate Confession of Sin
Almighty and merciful Father, we confess that we often live as though our days were governed by chance, or by our own plans and strength. We doubted your goodness when our circumstances were hard. We have been slow to notice your quiet provision, and slower to show mercy to those around us in how we speak to them and act toward them. We have disrespected those in authority over us, and those under our authority, in thought, word, or deed. We have hoarded what you gave us to share, even though you have granted us more than we could ever imagine. Forgive us, for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer. Teach us to take refuge under your wings, and make us faithful in the ordinary places where you have set us. Amen.
*The Assurance of Pardon - Lamentations 3:22–23
*The Pastoral Prayer
The Confession of Faith - (Heidelberg Catechism – Q. 27 & 28)
Q. 27 - What do you mean by the Providence of God?
A. The almighty and everywhere present power of God; whereby, as it were, by His hand, He upholds and governs heaven, earth, and all creatures; so that herbs and grass, rain and drought, fruitful and barren years, meat and drink, health and sickness, riches and poverty, yea, all things, come not by chance, but by His fatherly hand.
Q. 28 - What advantage is it to us to know that God has created, and by His providence does still uphold all things?
A. That we may be patient in adversity; thankful in prosperity; and that in all things, which may hereafter befall us, we place our firm trust in our faithful God and Father, that nothing shall separate us from His love; since all creatures are so in His hands, that without His will they cannot so much as move.

The Confession of Faith - The Westminster Confession of Faith 15.1–3
1. Repentance unto life is an evangelical grace, the doctrine whereof is to be preached by every minister of the gospel, as well as that of faith in Christ.
2. By it, a sinner, out of the sight and sense not only of the danger, but also of the filthiness and odiousness of his sins, as contrary to the holy nature, and righteous law of God; and upon the apprehension of his mercy in Christ to such as are penitent, so grieves for, and hates his sins, as to turn from them all unto God, purposing and endeavoring to walk with him in all the ways of his commandments.
3. Although repentance be not to be rested in, as any satisfaction for sin, or any cause of the pardon thereof, which is the act of God’s free grace in Christ; yet it is of such necessity to all sinners, that none may expect pardon without it.
The Pastoral Prayer - Elder Jamey Poole
*The Scripture Reading - Luke 18:1-14
And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’ ” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”
He also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and treated others with contempt: “Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee, standing by himself, prayed thus: ‘God, I thank you that I am not like other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”
Now they were bringing even infants to him that he might touch them. And when the disciples saw it, they rebuked them. But Jesus called them to him, saying, “Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.”
