REFLECTION ON GOD’S LAW

Leader: Honor your father and your mother.

Leader: You shall not murder.

People: Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer,

and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Leader: You shall not commit adultery.

People: Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent

has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Leader: You shall not steal.

People: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.

Do your work quietly and earn your own living.

Leader: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

People: Having put away falsehood,

let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor.

Leader: You shall not covet anything that is your neighbor's.

neighbor as yourself."

PRAYER OF THE CHURCH Elder Mike Ewing

Hymnal #57 "Hallelujah, Praise Jehovah, O My Soul”

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise;
I will sing the glorious praises
of my God through all my days.
Put no confidence in princes,
nor for help on man depend;
he shall die, to dust returning,
and his purposes shall end.

Happy is the man that chooses
Israel's God to be his aid;
he is blessed whose hope of blessing
on the Lord his God is stayed.
Heav'n and earth the Lord created,
seas and all that they contain;
he delivers from oppression,
righteousness he will maintain.

Food he daily gives the hungry,
Sets the mourning prisoner free,
raises those bowed down with anguish,
makes the sightless eye to see.
Well Jehovah loves the righteous,
and the stranger he befriends,
helps the fatherless and widow,
judgment on the wicked sends.

Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,
O my soul, Jehovah praise;
I will sing the glorious praises
of my God through all my days.
Over all God reigns forever,
through all ages he is King;
unto him, your God, O Zion,
joyful hallelujahs sing.

GOD’S WORD READ Acts Philippians 2:1-11

GOD’S WORD PREACHED. The Glory of Humility” by Dr. Chad Van Dixhoorn

Prayer Of Application & The Lord’s Prayer

All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Hymnal #429 “Let Thy Blood In Mercy Poured”

Let thy blood in mercy poured,

let thy gracious body broken,

be to me, O gracious Lord,

of thy boundless love the token.

Refrain:

Thou didst give thyself for me,

now I give myself to thee.

Thou didst die that I might live;

blessed Lord, thou cam'st to save me;

all that love of God could give,

Jesus by his sorrows gave me. [Refrain]

By the thorns that crowned thy brow,

by the spear wound and the nailing,

by the pain and death, I now

claim, O Christ, thy love unfailing. [Refrain]

Wilt thou own the gift I bring?

All my penitence I give thee;

thou art my exalted King,

of thy matchless love forgive me. [Refrain]

Hymnal p. 845 “Apostles’ Creed”

Minister: Christian, what do you believe?

All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
