Morning Worship April 19, 2020

• Greetings
• *Call to Worship: Psalm 124:8

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

• *Invocation
• Confession of Sin

Lord Jesus, I have sinned times without number, and been guilty of pride and unbelief, and of neglect to seek you in my daily life.  My sins and shortcomings present me with a list of accusations, but I thank you that they will not stand against me, for all have been laid on Christ.  Deliver me from every evil habit, every interest of former sins, everything that dims the brightness of your grace in me, everything that prevents me taking delight in you.  Amen.

• Promise of Forgiveness: Colossians 2:13-15

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.  He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.  

• Old Testament Reading: Psalm 139

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
² You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
    you discern my thoughts from afar.
³ You search out my path and my lying down
    and are acquainted with all my ways.
⁴ Even before a word is on my tongue,
    behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
⁵ You hem me in, behind and before,
    and lay your hand upon me.
⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
    it is high; I cannot attain it.

⁷ Where shall I go from your Spirit?
    Or where shall I flee from your presence?
⁸ If I ascend to heaven, you are there!
    If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there!
⁹ If I take the wings of the morning
    and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,
¹⁰ even there your hand shall lead me,
    and your right hand shall hold me.
¹¹ If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me,
    and the light about me be night,”
¹² even the darkness is not dark to you;
    the night is bright as the day,
    for darkness is as light with you.

¹³ For you formed my inward parts;
    you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
¹⁴ I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
Wonderful are your works;
    my soul knows it very well.
¹⁵ My frame was not hidden from you,
when I was being made in secret,
    intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
¹⁶ Your eyes saw my unformed substance;
in your book were written, every one of them,
    the days that were formed for me,
    when as yet there was none of them.

¹⁷ How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
¹⁸ If I would count them, they are more than the sand.
    I awake, and I am still with you.

¹⁹ Oh that you would slay the wicked, O God!
    O men of blood, depart from me!
²⁰ They speak against you with malicious intent;
    your enemies take your name in vain.
²¹ Do I not hate those who hate you, O Lord?
    And do I not loathe those who rise up against you?
²² I hate them with complete hatred;
    I count them my enemies.

²³ Search me, O God, and know my heart!
    Try me and know my thoughts!
²⁴ And see if there be any grievous way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting! 

• Affirmation of Faith: Nicene Creed

We believe in one God, the Father Almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible.

 

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of his Father before all worlds;

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God;

begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father;

by whom all things were made.

who, for us and for our salvation,

came down from heaven,

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary,

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;

he suffered and was buried;

and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures;

and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the

Father;

and he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the

dead;

whose kingdom shall have no end.

 

And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of Life;

who proceeds from the Father and the Son;

who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and

glorified;

who spoke by the prophets;

and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church;

we acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins;

and we look for the resurrection of the dead,

and the life of the world to come. Amen. 

• Prayers for the Church and the World
• Sermon Text: John 14:15-24

¹⁵ “If you love me, you will keep my commandments. ¹⁶ And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, ¹⁷ even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.

¹⁸ “I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you. ¹⁹ Yet a little while and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. ²⁰ In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. ²¹ Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” ²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, “Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?” ²³ Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. ²⁴ Whoever does not love me does not keep my words. And the word that you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me.

Hymn Lyrics 

• O For A Thousand Tongues To Sing 

Verse 1

O for a thousand tongues to sing

My great Redeemer's praise

The glories of my God and King

The triumphs of His grace 

Verse 2

My gracious Master and my God

Assist me to proclaim

To spread thru all the earth abroad

The honors of Thy name

 Verse 3

Jesus the name that charms our fears

That bids our sorrows cease

'Tis music in the sinner's ears

'Tis life and health and peace

 Verse 4

He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin

He sets the pris'ner free

His blood can make the foulest clean

His blood availed for me

 Verse 5

He speaks and, list’ning to his voice

New life the dead receive

The mournful, broken hears rejoice

The humble poor believe

 Verse 6

Hear him, ye deaf, his praise, ye dumb

Your loosen’d tongues employ

Ye blind, behold your Savior come And leap, ye lame, for joy.

• Come, Holy Spirit, Heavenly Dove

Verse 1

Come, Holy Spirit, heav’nly Dove

with all your quick’ning powe’rs

kindle a flame of sacred love

in these cold hearts of ours

Verse 2

In vain we tune our formal songs

In vain we strive to rise

Hosannas languish on our tongues

And our devotion dies

Verse 3

And shall we then forever live

At this poor dying rate

Our love so faint so cold to you

And your to us so great.

Verse 4

Come Holy Spirit heav’nly Dove

With all your quick’ning pow’rs

Come shed abroad a Savior’s love

And that shall kindle ours.
