Pre-service Song
We Will Feast in the House of Zion
Chorus
We will feast in the house of Zion.
We will sing with our hearts restored.
“He has done great things,”
We will say together.
We will feast and weep no more.
We will not be burned by the fire,
He is the Lord our God.
We are not consumed by the flood
Upheld, protected, gathered up. (Chorus)
In the dark of night before the dawn,
My soul be not afraid.
For the promised morning, o how long!
O God of Jacob be my strength. (Chorus)
Every vow we’ve broken and betrayed
You are the faithful one.
And from the garden to the grave
Bind us together, bring shalom. (Chorus)

Call To Worship
We confess the supremacy of God in Christ through both responsive reading and song.
Our Spoken Call to Worship
Revelation 7:10, 12; 15:3-4 (ESV)
Salvation belongs to our God
who sits on the throne,
and to the Lamb!
Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom
and thanksgiving and honor
and power and might
be to our God forever and ever!
Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God the Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations!
Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.
Our Sung Call to Worship
Holy (1 Samuel 2:2)
There is none holy like the Lord;
There is none beside You.
There is no fortress like our God,
Who was and is and is to come.
The beginning and the end,
Son of God, son of man.
There is no one like You Lord, so holy.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.
All glory, glory, glory to the Lord Almighty.
So worthy, we give you all the praise
Oh, lamb of God, You’re holy.
There is none holy like the Lord;
There is none beside You.
There is no fortress like our God,
Who was and is and is to come.
The beginning and the end,
Son of God, son of man.
There is no one like You Lord, so holy.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.
All glory, glory, glory to the Lord Almighty.
So worthy, we give you all the praise
Oh, lamb of God, You’re holy.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Worthy, worthy, worthy, of all the praise and glory.
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty.
Worthy, worthy, worthy, of all the praise and glory.
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord.
All glory, glory, glory to the Lord Almighty.
So worthy, we give you all the praise
Oh, lamb of God, You’re holy. (Repeat)
Oh, lamb of God, You’re holy.

Confession
We confess our need for mercy through both responsive reading and song.
Our Spoken Confession
1 John 1:8-9, 2:1-2 (ESV)
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us.
If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
But if anyone does sin,
we have an advocate with the Father,
Jesus Christ the righteous one.
He is the propitiation for our sins,
and not for ours only
but also for the sins of the whole world.
Time of silent confession.
Our Sung Confession
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence
Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded,
For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.
Rank on rank the host of heaven
Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth
From the realms of endless day,
That the pow’rs of hell may vanish
As the darkness clears away.
At His feet the six-winged seraph;
Cherubim, with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the Presence,
As with ceaseless voice they cry,
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Alleluia! Lord Most High.

Assurance and Peace
We profess our assurance of salvation and peace in Christ through both responsive reading and song.
Remember the Gospel
Revelation 5:9-13 (ESV)
They sang a new song, saying,
“Worthy are you to take the scroll
and to open its seals,
for you were slain, and by your blood
you ransomed people for God
from every tribe and language
and people and nation,
and you have made them a kingdom
and priests to our God,
and they shall reign on the earth.”
Then I looked, and I heard around the throne
and the living creatures and the elders the voice of many angels, numbering myriads of myriads and thousands and thousands, saying with a loud voice,
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth
and wisdom and might
and honor and glory and blessing!”
And I heard every creature in heaven
and on earth and under the earth and in the sea,
and all that is in them, saying,
“To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb
be blessing and honor and glory and might
forever and ever!”
Our Sung Profession of Assurance
Revelation Song
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy, holy is He.
Sing a new song to Him Who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat. (Repeat)
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come.
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of kings,
You are my ev’rything and I will adore You.
Clothed in rainbows, of living color,
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder,
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
To You the only wise King.
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come.
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of kings,
You are my ev’rything and I will adore You.
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name.
Jesus, Your name is power, breath and living water
Such a marv’lous mystery.
Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come.
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of kings,
You are my ev’rything and I will adore You. (Repeat)

Scripture Reading
Psalm 2 (ESV)
1Why do the nations rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6 “As for me, I have set my King
on Zion, my holy hill.”
7 I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
This is the word of the Lord.
The grass withers and the flower falls
but the word of the Lord endures forever.

Sermon Discipleship Questions
1. What encouraged you?
2. What convicted you?
3. Is there anything in your life that needs to change?
Behold Our God (Distribution Song)
Who has held the oceans in His hands?
Who has numbered every grain of sand?
Kings and nations tremble at His voice.
All creation rises to rejoice.
Who has given counsel to the Lord?
Who can question any of His words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things?
Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?
Chorus
Behold our God, seated on His throne.
Come, let us adore Him.
Behold our King, nothing can compare,
Come, let us adore Him!
Who has felt the nails upon His hands,
Bearing all the guilt of sinful man?
God eternal, humbled to the grave,
Jesus, Savior, risen now to reign! (Chorus)
You will reign forever.
Let Your glory fill the earth.
You will reign forever.
Let Your glory fill the earth.
You will reign forever.
Let Your glory fill the earth.
You will reign forever.
Let Your glory fill (Chorus)

Sending
Having heard and confessed the Gospel, we are sent into the world on mission in Christ, which we express in both song and spoken word.
Sending Song
All People That On Earth Do Dwell
All people that on earth do dwell,
Sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
Him serve with fear, His praise forth tell;
Come ye before Him and rejoice.
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
Without our aid He did us make;
We are His flock, He doth us feed,
And for His sheep He doth us take.
O enter then His gates with praise,
Approach with joy His courts unto;
Praise, laud, and bless His name always,
For it is seemly so to do.
For why? The Lord our God is good,
His mercy is forever sure:
His truth at all times firmly stood,
And shall from age to age endure.
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
Amen.
