Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold,
your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted
on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and
the war horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow shall be cut off, and he shall speak
peace to the nations; his rule shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of
the earth.
Zechariah 9:9–10
You can safely assume that you’ve created God in your own image when it turns out
that God hates all the same people you do.
Anne Lamott
Lord’s Day Worship
GOD INVITES US TO WORSHIP HIM
*CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 24:7-10 Mr. Mark Husband
Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
People: Who is this King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the
LORD, mighty in battle!
Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And lift them up, O ancient doors, that the
King of glory may come in.
People: Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of
glory!
*SONG ALL HAIL THE POWER OF JESUS’ NAME
1
All hail the power of Jesus' Name,
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all. (x2)
2
Ye chosen seed of Israel's race,
Ye ransomed from the fall,
Hail Him who saves you by His grace, and crown Him Lord of all. (x2)
3
Let every kindred, every tribe,
On this terrestrial ball,
To Him all majesty ascribe, and crown Him Lord of all. (x2)
4
O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall;
We'll join the everlasting song, and crown Him Lord of all. (x2)

*PRAYER OF ADORATION (CONCLUDING WITH THE LORD’S PRAYER)
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. Lead us not
into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and
the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.AFFIRMATION OF FAITH Heidelberg Catechism, 31
Q. Why is he called “Christ,” meaning “anointed”?
A. Because he has been ordained by God the Father and has been anointed
with the Holy Spirit to be our chief prophet and teacher who fully reveals
to us the secret counsel and will of God concerning our deliverance; our
only high priest who has delivered us by the one sacrifice of his body, and
who continually pleads our cause with the Father; and our eternal king
who governs us by his Word and Spirit, and who guards us and keeps us
in the freedom he has won for us.
GOD CLEANSES US FROM OUR SIN
CONFESSION OF SIN Book of Common Prayer
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left
undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved
our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For
the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that
we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your
Name. Amen.
SILENT CONFESSION
ASSURANCE OF PARDON 1 Peter 1:18-19
…you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with
perishable things such as silver or gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, like that
of a lamb without blemish or spot.
*SONG STRICKEN SMITTEN AND AFFLICTED
1
Stricken, smitten, and afflicted,
See Him dying on the tree!
'Tis the Christ by man rejected;
Yes my soul, 'tis He, 'tis He!
'Tis the long expected prophet,
David's Son, yet David's Lord;
By His Son, God has now spoken:
'Tis the true and faithful Word.2
Tell me, ye who hear Him groaning,
Was there ever grief like His?
Friends through fear His cause disowning,
Foes insulting his distress:
Many hands were raised to wound Him,
None would interpose to save;
But the deepest stroke that pierced Him,
Was the stroke that Justice gave.
3
Ye who think of sin but lightly,
Nor suppose the evil great,
Here may view its nature rightly,
Here its guilt may estimate.
Mark the Sacrifice appointed!
See Who bears the awful load!
'Tis the Word, the Lord's Anointed,
Son of Man and Son of God.
4
Here we have a firm foundation,
Here the refuge of the lost.
Christ’s the Rock of our salvation,
His the Name of which we boast.
Lamb of God for sinners wounded!
Sacrifice to cancel guilt!
None shall ever be confounded
Who on Him their hope have built.

will eat and drink together once everyone has been served.
*SONG IN CHRIST ALONE
1
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
2
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
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid:
Here in the death of Christ I live3
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
4
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
