Call to Worship
Clap your hands, all you nations; Shout to God with cries of joy.

Prayer of Confession
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,
Forever. Amen
The Lord’s Prayer

Before The Throne
Before the throne of God above I have a strong, a perfect plea,
A great High Priest whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on his hands, My name is written on his heart;
I know that while in heav’n he stands No tongue can bid me thence depart,
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair, And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see him there Who made an end to all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died, My sinful soul is counted free;
For God the Just is satisfied To look on him and pardon me,
To look on him and pardon me.
Behold him there! The risen Lamb, My perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace!
One with himself I cannot die, My soul is purchased with his blood;
My life is hid with Christ on high, With Christ, my Savior and my God,
With Christ, my Savior and my God.

‘Petite Piece’ —Georges Hue
A Profession of Faith
I believe that the eternal Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Who out of nothing created heaven and earth
And everything in them,
Who still upholds and rules them
By His eternal counsel and providence,
Is my God and Father
Because of Christ his Son.
I trust him so much that I do not doubt
He will provide whatever I need
For body and soul,
And He will turn to my good
Whatever adversity He sends me
In this sad world.
He is able to do this because He is almighty God;
He desires to do this because He is a faithful Father.
—from Heidelberg Catechism, Q&A 26
This Is My Father’s World
This is my Father’s world and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.
This is my Father’s world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas – His hand the wonders wrought.
This is my Father’s world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker’s praise.
This is my Father’s world: He shines in all that’s fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass, He speaks to me everywhere.
This is my Father’s world, O let me ne’er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet.
This is my Father’s world, why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!
This is my Father’s world, why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring! God reigns; let the earth be glad!

Sermon
Believing Something About God — The Lie We Tell Ourselves
Genesis 32:22-32
In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my Light, my strength, my song.
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground, Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace, When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All, Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe;
This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘Til on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied,
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid— Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain.
Then bursting forth in glorious day, Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory, Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me!
For I am His and He is mine, Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the pow’r of Christ in me.
From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man Can ever pluck me from His hand!
‘Til He returns or calls me home, Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand.
