Prelude Hosanna in the Highest!
Call to Worship Psalm 118:24–29
This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Save us, we pray, O LORD! O LORD, we pray, give us success! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD! We bless you from the house of the LORD. The LORD is God, and he has made his light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords, up to the horns of the altar! You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God; I will extol you. Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever
Invocation

*Confession of Faith Heidelberg Catechism, Q. 1
Q. What is your only comfort in life and in death?
A. That I am not my own, but belong - body and soul, in life and in death – to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ.
He has fully paid for all my sins with His precious blood and has set me free from the tyranny of the devil. He also watches over me in such a way that not a hair can fall from my head without the will of my Father in heaven: in fact, all things must work together for my salvation. Because I belong to Him, Christ, by His Holy Spirit, assures me of eternal life and makes me wholeheartedly willing and ready from now on to live for Him.

Call to Worship 1 Chronicles 29:11–13
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all. Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all, And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
Invocation
*Hymn No. 38 Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise
Scripture Reading 1 John 4:7–21
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and
whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone
who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In
this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent
his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In
this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and
sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so
loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen
God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is
perfected in us.
By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has
given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father
has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses
that Jesus in the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.
So we have come to know and to believe the love that God has for
us. God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God, and
God abides in him. By this is love perfected with us, so that we
may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so
also are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love
casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever
fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved
us. If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar;
for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot
love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have
from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.
Prayer of Confession (pray silently along with the pastor)
Assurance of Pardon Isaiah 25:9
Behold, this is our God; we have waited for him, that he might save us. This is
