Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Carol Smith Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: The Lord is good and kind. Even when we turn and run. He welcomes us home. He is a good Father. Slow to anger, refining us in His reproof of our sin, and quick to forgive. Who is like the Lord our God? No one is like Him. All of His ways are good and just even when ours are not. We give our hearts, not just our words and deeds to the Lord today. God is jealous and takes pity on His people. Worship today our Lord, our King, our Father. . INVOCATION
*HYMN: “Why Should I Feel Discouraged? # 661
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, we know that it is easy to say that we trust and follow You when it requires very little of us. If all that faithfulness required was going to church or dropping some money in a collection plate, we could get behind that. But when we learn that You require all of us, all of our heart, our affection, our trust, our time, our works, we draw the line. We choose to give other things that should be given to You and still claim to love You. Forgive us for having misaligned priorities and devotion. Forgive us for withholding parts of ourselves that ought to be given to You. Call us back to You and to greater faithfulness.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: What confidence do we have on our own? None. All our works, all our deeds, as good as they may seem to us are as dirty rags before a perfect God. If the record of our deeds leaves us nothing but ashamed, what hope is there? Our hope is in Jesus. Our confidence is in Jesus. When He returns we will not be ashamed but will stand upon what He has accomplished. Come and worship our God today! Remember what He has done and remember all that is ours because of Him. INVOCATION
*HYMN: “Rejoice, the Lord is King” # 363
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, You call us to obedience and to turn from sin. We know that when we are born again we are meant to have reborn desires and actions. We know that to love You ought to mean that we love Your ways and Your commands. To love the people made in Your image. However, we fall short of this every day. Your Spirit works to change our hearts, but we try so hard to harden them again. Have mercy on us and forgive us. We know that we have sinned, and we know that we will again. Yet we trust that You are still working in us, sanctifying us, and making us holy like You are holy. Help us to not hold onto the guilt that sin produces but to cling to the grace we find in Jesus.

Gathering Around the Word
Prelude: Announcements: CALL TO WORSHIP: God teaches us what is right, what is true. We have heard the truth and we believe the truth, that the only way to know the Father is through the Son by the Spirit’s teaching. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. We will abide in the truth just as God abides with us. Praise God for such a gift freely given to us. Praise Him for the promise of eternal life. Worship Him today for He alone is worthy to receive the worship of every heart. INVOCATION
*HYMN: “When Morning Gilds the Skies” # 667
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION: Father, You have taught us what is truth, that if we are to know God then we must abide in Your Son, the Lord Jesus. We know what He has done, how He died in our place, and we know that we receive all the benefits of Jesus’ work through faith. And yet, even after hearing this wonderful news, we elevate the things of this world to receive our worship and adoration when only You are deserving. Our hearts and minds go astray. We choose pride over submitting to Your will. Forgive us for abiding in the world instead of abiding in You. Have mercy and be gracious to us. Remind us today that our only hope of fellowship with God isn’t through our works or any of the things promoted by the world but by trusting in the Lord Jesus. In the name of Your Son we pray, AMEN *Time of Silent Prayer: *Assurance of Pardon *Response – Gloria Patri # 581 *Passing of the peace Children’s Chat Prayer of illumination Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 13: 1–11 Sermon text: 1 John 2:18 27 : *HYMN “Sing Praises to God Who Reigns Above” # 645 *Apostles Creed (next to Prayer List) Presentation of tithes and offering Offertory *Doxology *Prayer of dedication Concerns and Celebrations Prayers of the people The Lord’s Prayer *HYMN “My Hope is Built on Nothing Less” # 353 Benediction *Postlude
