INVOCATION

CALL TO WORSHIP

“This is Amazing Grace”

“Hosanna (En las Alturas) Be Lifted Higher”

CONFESSION OF SIN

Adapted from an ancient Persian Prayer (Daily Prayer Project):

All that we ought to have thought, and have not thought,

All that we ought to have said, and have not said,

All that we ought to have done, and have not done;

All that we ought not to have thought, and yet have thought,

All that we ought not to have spoken, and yet have spoken,

All that we ought not to have done, and yet have done;

For thoughts, words, and works, we pray, O God, for forgiveness.

A: For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. (Ps 103:11-12)

“Graves Into Gardens”

CONFESSION OF FAITH

Of Perseverance of the Saints

1.They, whom God hath accepted in his Beloved, effectually called, and sanctified by his Spirit, can neither totally nor finally fall away from the state of grace, but shall certainly persevere therein to the end, and be eternally saved.

2. This perseverance of the saints depends not upon their own free will, but upon the immutability of the decree of election, flowing from the free and unchangeable love of God the Father;

upon the efficacy of the merit and intercession of Jesus Christ, the abiding of the Spirit, and of the seed of God within them, and the nature of the covenant of grace: from all which ariseth also the certainty and infallibility thereof.

GREETINGS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS

PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | Colossians 2:16-23 ESV

Let No One Disqualify You

16 Therefore let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink, or with regard to a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath. 17 These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. 18 Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God.

20 If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the world, why, as if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations— 21 “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch” 22 (referring to things that all perish as they are used)—according to human precepts and teachings? 23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in stopping the indulgence of the flesh.
