Do you not know?
Have you not heard?
The Lord is the everlasting God,
the Creator of the ends of the earth.
He will not grow tired or weary,
and his understanding no one can fathom.
Therefore I will praise the Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of his name.
—based on Isaiah 40:28 & Psalm 18:49

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;
he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to 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.
* ‘Catholic’ is the historic word meaning ‘universal’ – it therefore refers to the entirety of believers throughout history.
Jesus, Only Jesus
Who has the power to raise the dead
Who can save us from our sin
He is our hope, our righteousness
Jesus, only Jesus
Who can make the blind to see
Who holds the keys that set us free
He paid it all to bring us peace
Jesus, only Jesus
Holy King, Almighty Lord
Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before
Jesus, only Jesus
Who can command the highest praise
Who has the name above all names
You stand alone, I stand amazed
Jesus, only Jesus
Holy King, Almighty Lord
Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before
Jesus, only Jesus
You will command the highest praise
Yours is the Name above all names
You stand alone, I stand amazed
Jesus, only Jesus
Jesus, only Jesus
Holy King, Almighty Lord
Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before
Jesus, only Jesus
Holy King, Almighty Lord
Saints and angels all adore
I join with them and bow before
Jesus, only Jesus

Sermon
“The Gospel in Confusing Times”
1 John 2: 15-27
Prayer of Confession
Loving God and Father,
be merciful and forgive our sins.
You know us and have made us to be yours.
You have loved us in Jesus,
who bled and died that we may live.
Wash away our pride and unbelief.
Turn us from sinful thoughts and deeds.
Give us willing spirits
to love you, one another,
and this world that you created to be good.
Until Christ comes and makes all things new.
Through Jesus. Amen.
The Lord’s Supper
How Deep the Father’s Love For Us
How deep the Father’s love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only Son
To make a wretch his treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns his face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Why should I gain from his reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom

Gloria Patri
Glory be to the Father
And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost
As it was in the beginning
