Call to Worship
Elder Ed Manuel
Leader: We have come together to praise God from whom all blessings flow.
People: The firmament, the covering of earth and seas, is the roof of our sanctuary.
Leader: And so, we dwell in the house of God all the days of our lives as one people.
People: We will sing songs of praise and give thanks for God’s steadfast hope in us. Who today will bless God for God’s surpassing greatness?
ALL: Let everything that has breath worship and praise God!
Opening Hymn #468
“Let All the World in Every Corner Sing”
Invocation *
Prayer of Confession
Spirit of Truth, Spirit of God, You know all too well what lurks deep within us. We confess that we have not loved one another as You have loved us. We have often focused on ourselves. We are quick to find fault and spread gossip, sins that undermine this fellowship. We have left strangers among us feeling like outsiders. We have not done our best to carry Jesus Christ’s Good News beyond these walls. Forgive us, O Lord. Make us new once more. Restore us to the joy of Your salvation. In Jesus name, Amen.
(A time of silence for personal reflection, to be ended with the ringing of the bell.)

The Lord be with all of you. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Sermon Series (Part 2 of Romans): The Gospel Lived Out
Sermon #1: “LIVING SACRIFICES”
Pastor Ed Ramos
Affirmation of Faith
(Excerpted from the Heidelberg Catechism Q/A #2)
Leader: What must you know to live and die in the joy of this comfort
People: Three things: first, how great our sin and misery are; second, how we are set free from all our sins and misery; third, how we are to thank God for such deliverance.
ALL: Guilt. Grace. Gratitude. To live and die in the joy and comfort that are found in Jesus Christ we must have a deep experience of our own guilt and of God’s grace. And when we do, we will live in deep gratitude to God for saving us from our sin. The reason we so often live with ungrateful hearts is because we so quickly lose sight of the wickedness of our sin and therefore of the greatness of God’s grace in rescuing us from it. So then, we will resolve to live a life of perpetual gratitude as we acknowledge the blessings that are ours in Christ. This we believe and so we live, Amen.
