Call to Worship
Psalm 139:1-12, 23-24

Presider: You have searched me, Lord, and you know me.
All: You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
Presider: You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
All: Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
Presider: You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
All: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Presider: Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
All: If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
Presider: If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
All: even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
Presider: If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
All: even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Presider: Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.
All: See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.

Confession of Faith

Heidelberg Catechism Question 62

Presider: Why can’t our good works be our righteousness before God, or at least a part of our righteousness?

All: Because the righteousness which can pass God’s judgment must be entirely perfect and must in every way measure up to the divine law. But even our best works in this life are imperfect and stained with sin.

Confession of Sin

All: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us, sinners. We confess that although our best efforts at righteousness fall far short of your holiness, we try to live as though we could save ourselves. Forgive us, we don’t yet know how to fully entrust ourselves to your grace. Forgive us, we still try to earn our righteousness by our efforts.

All: Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

Personal Confession of Sin

The Gospel’s Assurance of Grace

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says,

“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

The Lord’s Prayer

All: Our Father, who art in heaven. Hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Almighty God, whose loving hand has given us all that we have: grant us grace that we may honor you with our money and possessions. May we be faithful stewards and generous givers of that which you have given us, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Sermon

Title: Messianic Psalm

Text: Psalm 110

The Lord says to my Lord:

“Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.”

The Lord sends forth from Zion
your mighty scepter.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
Your people will offer themselves freely
on the day of your power,
in holy garments;
from the womb of the morning,
the dew of your youth will be yours.
The Lord has sworn
and will not change his mind,
“You are a priest forever
after the order of Melchizedek.”

The Lord is at your right hand;
he will shatter kings on the day of his wrath.
He will execute judgment among the nations,
filling them with corpses;
he will shatter chiefs
over the wide earth.
He will drink from the brook by the way;
therefore he will lift up his head.
