Q. 104 – What are the duties required in the first commandment?
The duties required in the first commandment are, the knowing and
acknowledging of God to be the only true God, and our God; and to
worship and glorify him accordingly, by thinking, meditating,
remembering, highly esteeming, honoring, adoring, choosing, loving,
desiring, fearing of him; believing him; trusting, hoping, delighting,
rejoicing in him; being zealous for him; calling upon him, giving all praise
and thanks, and yielding all obedience and submission to him with the
whole man; being careful in all things to please him, and sorrowful when
in anything he is offended; and walking humbly with him.
Responsive Confession of Sin (Based on Psalm 51)
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight.
Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Assurance of Pardon Psalm 32:1, 5
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered… I acknowledged
my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions
to the LORD,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Call to Worship Psalm 95:1–7a
Oh come, let us sing to the LORD;
let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;
let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!
For the LORD is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the depths of the earth;
the heights of the mountains are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down;
let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!
For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
Invocation
*Hymn No. 302
Scripture Reading Deuteronomy 18:15–18, Hebrews 1:1–4
“The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from
among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen—just
as you desired of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the
assembly, when you said, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the
LORD my God or see this great fire any more, lest I die.’ And the
LORD said to me, ‘They are right in what they have spoken. I will
raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers.
Come, Christians, Join to Sing
And I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them
all that I command him.’”
(Hebrews) Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke
to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken
to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through
whom also he created the world. He is the radiance of the glory of
God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the
universe by the word of his power. After making purification for
sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, having
become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is
more excellent than theirs.
Prayer of Confession (unison)
Merciful Lord, we confess that with us there is an abundance of sin,
but in you there is the fullness of righteousness and abundance of
mercy. We are spiritually poor, but you are rich and in Jesus Christ
came to be merciful to the poor. We are weak in faith; strengthen
us. Fan into flame a zeal unto righteousness, and make our hearts
fervent for you that our love may go out to one another and to our
neighbors. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon Ephesians 1:7–8
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses,
according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and
insight.
