The Preparation for Worship

Let us prepare our hearts for the worship of God.

“When they saw Him, they worshiped Him.” (Matthew 28:17)

Prelude

Silent Prayer

Welcome and Announcements

The Adoration of God

Call to Worship: Psalm 106:1-2 “Praise the LORD! Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Who can utter the mighty acts of the LORD? Who can declare all His praise?”
*Psalm of Praise - Psalm 106

Speaker: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
All: For His mercy endures forever. (Psalm 136:1)

The Confession of Sin

The Call to Repentance - Romans 8:29-34

For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren. Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.

The Prayer of Confession (after silent confession)

All: LORD God, do not be angry with us forever. Do not let your jealousy burn like fire against us. For we know You will pour out Your wrath on those who do not know You, on those who do not call on Your name. Do not remember our former iniquities, and do not hold them against us. Let Your tender mercies come speedily to meet us. Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of Your name. Deliver us, and provide atonement for our sins, for Your name’s sake. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen. (Psalm 79)
