Prelude
Call to Worship - Psalm 103:20–22
Bless the LORD, O you his angels, you mighty ones who do his word, obeying the voice of his word! Bless the LORD, all his hosts, his ministers, who do his will! Bless the LORD, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the LORD, O my soul!
Invocation
*Hymn No. 76 - Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven
*Confession of Faith - (from the Westminster Confession of Faith)
We believe God requires of us faith in Jesus Christ and repentance unto life to escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin;
We believe by His free grace we are effectually called, justified, and sanctified, and gathered into the visible church out of which there is no ordinary possibility of salvation, and
We believe we are made perfectly blessed in the full enjoying of God for all eternity. Amen.
*Hymn No. 10 - Hallelujah! Hallelujah!
Confession of Sin - (unison)
Eternal God, You do not change. You have revealed Yourself to us in Your Word. You call us to worship You in spirit and in truth. But we confess that we often worship not Your true self but who we wish You to be. We too often ask You to bless what we do rather than seeking to do what You bless. Forgive us for seeking concessions when we should be seeking guidance. Forgive us when our worship shapes You into what we want instead of shaping us into what You want. Help us to meet You here, that we might bow before Your unspeakable majesty and so live for You now and forever, in Christ. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon - Psalm 103:11–12
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgression from us.

Call to Worship - Psalm 66:1–4
Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of his name; give to him glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies come cringing to you. All the earth worships you and sings praises to you; they sing praises to your name.”
Invocation
*Hymn No. 17 - Praise the Lord: Ye Heavens Adore Him
Scripture Reading - 2 Corinthians 12:1–10
I must go on boasting. Though there is nothing to be gained by it, I will go on to visions and revelations of the Lord. I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago was caught up to the third heaven––whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows. And I know that this man was caught up into paradise––whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows–– and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter. On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses. Though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me. So to keep me from being too elated by the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from being too elated. Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me. But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me. For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
Prayer of Confession - (unison)
Forgive our faithlessness, O faithful God! See beyond our apathy, our thoughtlessness, our self-centeredness, and our sinful choices. Free us for joyful obedience, we pray through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Assurance of Pardon - Romans 8:1–2
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
