Palm Sunday

Verse to Meditate On Heb. 8:1-2 ESV

“Now the point in what we are saying is this: we have such a high priest, one who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, a minister in the holy places, in the true tent that the Lord set up, not man.”

Welcome/Announcements Bryan Nichols Prelude Call to Worship Heb. 9:11-14 *Praise Songs “Build My Life”

“In Christ Alone” *The Confession of Faith (from the Westminster Shorter Catechism in Modern English, Questions 33 and 34)

Q.33. What is justification? A. Justification is the act of God's free grace by which He pardons all our sins and accepts us as righteous in His sight. He does so only because He counts the righteousness of Christ as ours. Justification is received by faith alone. Q.34. What is adoption? A. Adoption is the act of God's free grace by which we become His sons with all the rights and privileges of being His.

*Confession of Sin O Father, we are gathered before You, the Maker of Heaven and Earth, whose chosen dwelling place is with the broken and contrite, to confess that we have sinned in thought and word and deed; we have not loved You with all our heart and soul; we have not loved you with

all our mind and strength; we have not even loved our neighbor as ourselves. In your mercy, deepen our sorrow for the wrong we have done and for the good we have left undone, so that we may hate our sin with a holy hatred. But, please, Father, do not leave us in sorrow. With You, O Lord, there is forgiveness. In Your mercy, restore the joy of our salvation, so that we may love You with a holy love. Amen. *Assurance of Pardon 1 Pt. 1:17-19 *Gloria Patri Hymnal #735 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;

as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, amen.

Worship through the Giving of Tithes and Offerings/Prayer *Offertory Response #731 “Doxology” 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. Scripture Exodus 28 Sermon “Holy Garments for Glory and Beauty—Do You See the Heart of Christ?” *Hymn #420 “At the Lamb’s High Feast We Sing” Celebration of the Lord’s Supper *Hymn #281 “I Know That My Redeemer Lives - Glory, Hallelujah!” *Benediction * Please stand if you are able.

In Christ Alone

Verse 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

Verse 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 live

Verse 3

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

Verse 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
