Morning Worship May 3, 2020

• Greetings
• *Call to Worship: Psalm 18:1-3

I love you, O Lord, my strength.
² The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
    my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge,
    my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
³ I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies.

• *Invocation
• Confession of Sin

Lord, you are good when you give and when you take away.  You have loved me before the creation of the world.  In love you did redeem my soul through Jesus Christ your Son.  You love me still in spite of my hard heart, ingratitude, and distrust.  But how little your goodness and love have affected me!  Have mercy on me and bring me to repentance.  Help me to hate and forsake every false way, to control my tongue, to put to death sin, to do good to others and be concerned for their salvation.  Glorify yourself in me whether in comfort or trial.  Amen.

• Promise of Forgiveness: Ephesians 2:4-6

 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us,  even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.   

• Old Testament Reading: Deuteronomy 6:1-9

 “Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, ² that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. ³ Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

⁴ “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. ⁵ You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. ⁶ And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. ⁷ You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. ⁸ You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. ⁹ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

 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 14:28-31

You heard me say to you, ‘I am going away, and I will come to you.’ If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I. ²⁹ And now I have told you before it takes place, so that when it does take place you may believe. ³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming. He has no claim on me, ³¹ but I do as the Father has commanded me, so that the world may know that I love the Father. Rise, let us go from here.

• Preaching of the Word:    Eric Huber

I Love the Father 

• *Hymn of Response # 524: Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ 

• *Benediction: 2 Thessalonians 3:16

Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times in every way. The Lord be with you all.

Hymns

• 295 Crown Him with Many Crowns

 Crown him with many crowns, the Lamb upon his throne;

hark! how the heav'nly anthem drowns all music but its own;

awake, my soul, and sing of him who died for thee,

and hail him as thy matchless King through all eternity.

 

Crown him the Lord of love; behold, his hands and side,

rich wounds, yet visible above, in beauty glorified;

no angel in the sky can fully bear that sight,

but downward bends his burning eye at mysteries so bright.

 

Crown him the Lord of peace; whose pow'r a scepter sways

from pole to pole, that wars may cease, absorbed in prayer and praise;

his reign shall know no end; and round his pierced feet

fair flow'rs of paradise extend their fragrance ever sweet.

 

Crown him the Lord of years, the Potentate of time;

Creator of the rolling spheres, ineffably sublime;

all hail, Redeemer, hail! for thou hast died for me;

thy praise shall never, never fail throughout eternity.

 

• 524 Thy Works, Not Mine, O Christ

 

Thy works, not mine, O Christ, speak gladness to this heart;

they tell me all is done; they bid my fear depart.

To whom, save thee,

who canst alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

 

Thy pains, not mine, O Christ, upon the shameful tree,

have paid the law's full price and purchased peace for me.

To whom, save thee,

who canst alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

 

Thy cross, not mine, O Christ, has borne the awful load

of sins that none in heav'n or earth could bear but God.

To whom, save thee,

who canst alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?

 

Thy righteousness, O Christ, alone can cover me;

no righteousness avails save that which is of thee.

To whom, save thee,

who canst alone for sin atone, Lord, shall I flee?
