Call to Worship
Praise our God, all you his servants,
you who fear him, both great and small!
Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns.
Let us rejoice, be glad, and give him glory!
—based on Revelation 19:5-7 (NIV)
Prayer of Confession
Almighty God and Gracious Heavenly Father,
Have mercy on us.
The guilt and shame of our sins
are too great for us to bear.
You alone have the power to pardon.
Forgive us and make us whole.
Fill, cleanse and renew us.
Turn our doubt into reliance,
Our pride into gentleness,
And our self-centeredness into love,
That the world may know your Son,
And enjoy your Grace and Peace,
Through Jesus. Amen.
Come Ye Sinners
Come, ye sinners, poor and wretched
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus, ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, joined with power
He is able, he is able
He is willing, doubt no more
Come ye needy, come, and welcome
God’s free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
Without money, without money
Come to Jesus Christ and buy
Come, ye weary, heavy laden
Bruised and broken by the fall
If you tarry ’til you’re better
You will never come at all
Not the righteous, not the righteous
Sinners Jesus came to call
Let not conscience make you linger
Nor of fitness fondly dream
All the fitness he requires
Is to feel your need of him
This he gives you, this he gives you
‘Tis the Spirit’s rising beam
Lo! The incarnate God, ascended
Pleads the merit of his blood
Venture on him, venture wholly
Let no other trust intrude
None but Jesus, none but Jesus
Can do helpless sinners good

Your Grace Is Enough
Great is Your faithfulness, O God
You wrestle with the sinner’s heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart
So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Great is your love and justice God
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of your salvation
And all your people sing along
So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
So remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise, O God
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
He is holy, he is holy
O praise him, O praise him
He is holy, he is holy

Gifts — Come Thou Fount
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither to thy help I’ve come
And I hope, by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed his precious blood
O, to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be
Let thy grace now, like a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for thy courts above
Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of God’s unchanging love

Profession of the Church
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended to hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead,
ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From there He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
—Apostles’ Creed
* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.
Our God Alone
Who formed the mountains
And filled the oceans
Our God alone, our God alone
Who took the dust
And breathed life in us
Our God alone, our God alone
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Who came from heaven
For our redemption
Our God alone, our God alone
Who died for sin
That we may live
Our God alone, our God alone
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Who rose again
Death could not win
Our God alone, our God alone
Who is returning, bringing a Kingdom
Our God alone, our God alone
We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone
We will worship, we will worship
Our God alone, our God alone
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Sermon — “A Doubt that brings Deliverance”
John 3:1-17
The Lord’s Supper — Jesus I Come
Out of my bondage, sorrow and night
Jesus, I come, Jesus I come
Into thy freedom, gladness and light
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of my sickness into thy health
Out of my wanting and into thy wealth
Out of my sin and into thyself
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of my shameful failure and loss
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the glorious gain of thy cross
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of earth’s sorrows into thy balm
Out of life’s storms and into thy calm
Out of distress into jubilant psalm
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of unrest and arrogant pride
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into thy blessed will to abide
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of myself to dwell in thy love
Out of despair into raptures above
Upward forever on wings like a dove
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of the fear and dread of the tomb
Jesus, I come, Jesus, I come
Into the joy and light of thy home
Jesus, I come to thee
Out of the depths of ruin untold
Into the peace of thy sheltering fold
Ever thy glorious face to behold
Jesus, I come to thee

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
Is now and ever shall be
World without end
Amen, amen
