WELCOME/CALL TO WORSHIP:
To all who are weary and need rest
To all who mourn and long for comfort
To all who feel worthless and wonder if God cares
To all who fail and desire strength
To all who sin and need a Savior
This church opens wide her doors with a welcome from Jesus Christ, the Ally of His enemies, the Defender of the guilty, the Justifier of the inexcusable, the Friend of sinners, welcome. [From 10th Presbyterian Church]
GRACE ALONE
THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD
Sermon: Luke 11:29-35
RESPONSIVE READING:
LEADER:
The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof,
the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the rivers. Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
ALL:
He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to what is false
and does not swear deceitfully.
He will receive blessing from the LORD
and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek the face of the God of Jacob.
LEADER:
Lift up your heads, O gates!
And be lifted up, O ancient doors,
that the King of glory may come in. Who is this King of glory?
ALL:
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.
Who is this King of glory?
ALL:
The LORD of hosts,
he is the King of glory!
I STAND AMAZED
