Call to Worship
The Lord is king; let the peoples tremble!
He sits enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth quake!
The Lord is great in Zion; he is exalted over all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.
Holy is he!
—Psalm 99:1-3

Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, and 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 by his blood
My life is hid with Christ on high
With Christ, my Savior and my God
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

Prayer for the People, the City, and the Nations
Gifts — Death Was Arrested
Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin
Lost without hope with no place to begin
Your love Made a way to let mercy come in
When death was arrested and my life began
Ash was redeemed only beauty remains
My orphan heart was given a name
My mourning grew quiet my feet rose to dance
When death was arrested and my life began
Oh your grace so free washes over me
You have made me new
Now life begins with you
It’s your endless love pouring down on us
You have made us new
Now life begins with you
Released from my chains I’m a prisoner no more
My shame was a ransom he faithfully bore
He cancelled my debt and he called me his friend
When death was arrested and my life began
Our savior displayed on a criminal’s cross
Darkness rejoiced as though heaven had lost
But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand
That’s when death was arrested and my life began
That’s when death was arrested and my life began
We’re free, free, forever we’re free
Come join the song of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free, forever, amen
When death was arrested and my life began
We’re free, free, forever we’re free
Come join the song of all the redeemed
Yes we’re free, free, forever, amen
When death was arrested and my life began

Baptism
The Church’s One Foundation
The church’s one foundation
Is Jesus Christ her Lord
She is his new creation
By water and the word
From heaven he came and sought her
To be his holy bride
With his own blood he bought her
And for her life he died
Elect from every nation
Yet one o’er all the earth
Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth
One holy name she blesses
Partakes one holy food
And to one hope she presses
With every grace endued
Mid toil and tribulation
And tumult of her war
She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore
Till, with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest
And the great church victorious
Shall be the church at rest
Yet she on earth hath union
With God the Three in One
And mystic sweet communion
With those whose rest is won
O happy ones and holy
Lord, give us grace that we
Like them, the meek and lowly
On high may dwell with thee

Unto Your Name
Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Your riches exchanged for a cross
You carried for us
Matchless in gracious compassion
Mighty in power to save
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Love undeserved and unheard of
As majesty left heaven’s throne
Clothed in the sorrows of sin
For the glory of our God
For the glory of our God
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good
The heavens that shout our God is holy
Now flooding the earth with kindness and mercy
Together declare your grace so amazing
You alone are good
You alone are good
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all
Unto your name
Jesus on high, be glorified
No other name
Jesus alone, Savior of all

Sermon
“The Wash Basin — The Church is…”
Zechariah 3:1-5
Prayer of Confession
Father, we stand before you guilty.
Our thoughts, words, and actions accuse us.
We try to hide our own mess,
and sit in judgment of others.
But our sin is more than we can bear,
and we cannot cleanse ourselves.
Have mercy on us and forgive us.
Wash us clean in Jesus,
in whose name we pray. Amen.
Assurance of Pardon
This is what the Lord Himself says to those who turn to him in faith, “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool”
— Isaiah 1:18
The Lord’s Supper
For the Lamb
On a shameful day he died
In the sorrow of defeat
But forgiveness was his cry
As his blood ran down for me
How the Father’s heart was torn
As his only Son was slain
But the earth would soon rejoice
From the place where hope was lain
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
By his Spirit we are raised
To the fullness of new life
In a moment we’ll be changed
And forever glorified
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together
Most high and lifted up
Be glorified forever
Jesus has overcome
Declare it now together
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome
Everlasting love has won
In eternal praise we will lift him up
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
For the Lamb has overcome the world
