GREETING AND CALL TO WORSHIP   Psalm 105:4–6
Leader: Seek the Lord and his strength;
People: Seek his presence continually!

Leader: Remember the wondrous works that he has done, his miracles, and the judgments he uttered,
All: O offspring of Abraham, his servant, children of Jacob, his chosen ones!

PRAYER OF ADORATION, ASSISTANCE, AND BLESSING
Hymnal #296   “All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name!”
All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!
Let angels prostrate fall;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all;
bring forth the royal diadem,
and crown him Lord of all.

Crown him, ye martyrs of your God,
who from his altar call;
extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, 
and crown him Lord of all;
extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, 
and crown him Lord of all.

Ye seed of Israel's chosen race,
ye ransomed of the fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace, 
and crown him Lord of all;
hail him who saves you by his grace, 
and crown him Lord of all.

Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget
the wormwood and the gall,
go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
and crown him Lord of all;
go, spread your trophies at his feet, 
and crown him Lord of all.

Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe,
on this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe, 
and crown him Lord of all;
to him all majesty ascribe, 
and crown him Lord of all.

O that with yonder sacred throng
we at his feet may fall;
we'll join the everlasting song, 
and crown him Lord of all;
we'll join the everlasting song, 
and crown him Lord of all.

REFLECTION ON GOD’S LAW
Leader: The Second Commandment is:
People: “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything  that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.” (Exodus 20:4)

Leader: “You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.” (Exodus 20:5–6)
People: Claiming to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man and birds and animals and creeping things. (Rom. 1:22-23)

SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION
ASSURANCE OF GRACE   Micah 7:18

Hymnal #644   “May the Mind of Christ My Savior”
May the mind of Christ my Savior
live in me from day to day,
by his love and pow'r controlling
all I do and say.

May the Word of God dwell richly
in my heart from hour to hour,
so that all may see I triumph
only through his pow'r.

May the peace of God my Father
rule my life in everything,
that I may be calm to comfort
sick and sorrowing.

May the love of Jesus fill me
as the waters fill the sea;
him exalting, self abasing,
this is victory.

May his beauty rest upon me
as I seek the lost to win,
and may they forget the channel,
seeing only him.

PRAYER OF THE CHURCH.   Elder Dave Fredrickson

Psalm 23   “The Lord's My Shepherd”
The LORD’s my shepherd;
I will lack nothing.
He makes me lie down
In pastures green.
He leads by calm streams,
And He revives me;
He guides in right ways
For His name’s sake.

Although I travel
Through death’s dark valley,
No threat or danger
There will I fear,
Since You will always
Stay close beside me;
Your rod and staff give
Comfort to me.

You’ve set my table
Where foes are watching;
My head anointed,
My cup You’ve filled.
Such love and goodness
Through life pursue me;
I’ll live forever
In the LORD’s house.

GOD’S WORD READ   Psalm 23
GOD’S WORD PREACHED.   “The Script for Believers” by Pastor Joel E. Wood

Prayer of Application and 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 #247   "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded”
O sacred Head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down;
now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
what bliss till now was thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call thee mine.

What thou, my Lord, hast suffered
was all for sinners' gain:
mine, mine was the transgression,
but thine the deadly pain.
Lo, here I fall, my Savior!
'Tis I deserve thy place;
look on me with thy favor,
vouchsafe to me thy grace.

What language shall I borrow
to thank thee, dearest Friend,
for this, thy dying sorrow,
thy pity without end?
O make me thine forever;
and should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
outlive my love to thee.

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. 

SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

Prayer of Thanksgiving
Song   “Merciful God"
Merciful God, O abounding in love,
Faithful to all who draw near You,
Hearing the cries of the humble in heart,
Showing the cross they may cling to.
Helpless I come broken in sin,
Found at the feet of Your mercy.
Father, forgive,
May my sin be remembered no more.

Merciful God, O abounding in love,
Faithful through times we have failed You.
Selfish in thought and uncaring in deed,
Foolish in word and ungrateful.
Spirit of God, conquer our hearts
With love that flows from forgiveness;
Cause us to yield
And return to the mercy of God.

Merciful God, O abounding in love,
Faithful to keep us from falling,
Guiding our ways with Your fatherly heart,
Growing our faith with each testing.
God speed the day struggles will end,
Faultless we'll gaze on Your glory;
Then we will stand
Overwhelmed by the mercy of God.
