Call to Worship

Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord;

let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving

and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God,

the great King above all gods.

Psalm 95:1-3

Call to Confession     Hebrews 3:12 

See to it, brothers, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.

Let us confess our sins

Prayer of Confession            (unison)

Our Great God and King, we come before you this morning knowing we have sinned against You. For we have grumbled about insignificant things and have lacked contentment in You alone. We often forget your providence in our lives. We our prone to chasing after the things of this world and have failed to chase after Christ. Holy Spirit humble us today as we dwell on the goodness and grace of our God. Help us to daily cling to the Rock of our salvation the one who was struck so we wouldn’t be, the one whom flowed living water in whom we find ultimate satisfaction.  Amen. 

Private Confession

Assurance of Forgiveness:   Hebrews 4:15-16

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin. Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
