The Lord’s Day Evening January 20, 2013 Six O’clock

Welcome and Announcements Prelude

Three in one, one in three, God of my salvation, heavenly Father, blessed Son, eternal Spirit, I adore thee we one Being, one Essence, one God in three distinct Persons, for bringing sinners to thy knowledge and to thy kingdom. O, Father, thou hast loved me and sent Jesus to redeem me; O, Jesus, thou hast loved me and assumed my nature, shed thine own blood to wash away my sins, wrought righteousness to cover my unworthiness; O, Holy Spirit, thou hast loved me and entered my heart, implanted there external life, revealed to me the glories of Jesus. Three Persons and one God, I bless and praise thee, for love so unmerited, so unspeakable, so wondrous, so mighty to save the lost and raise them to glory. O Father, I thank thee that in fullness of grace thou hat given me to Jesus, to be his sheep, jewel, portion; O Jesus, I thank thee that in fullness or grace thou hast accepted, espoused, bound me; O Holy Spirit, I thank thee that in fullness of grace thou hast exhibited Jesus as my salvation, implanted faith within me, subdued my stubborn heart made me one with him forever. O Father, thou art enthroned to hear my prayers, O Jesus, thy hand is outstretched to take my petitions, O Holy Spirit, thou art willing to help my infirmities, to show me my need, to supply my words, to pray within me, to strengthen me that I faint not in supplication. O Triune God, who commandeth the universe, thou hast commanded me to ask for those things that concern thy kingdom and my soul. Let me live and pray as one baptized into the threefold Name. (The Valley of Vision)

Call to Worship ............................................................Psalm 145:10-13 Invocation Hymn 310 ....................................................... Rejoice, the Lord is King Grace Moment ......................................... Corinne and Rodney Gillentine

Prayer of Intercession Dear Heavenly Father, it’s incredibly comforting to remember how much you care for us—your beloved children. Tonight we come to your kind heart and broad shoulders with expedience, gratitude and anticipation. With open hands, we cast our cares upon you, gracious Father. Please shoulder the burdens we carry for the people we love. Father, we cannot add one minute to our lives through worry. In fact, we can take a lot away from our lives through trying to carry burdens you alone can carry. Turn our “What if’s?” into “Now that’s”—now that Jesus has risen from the dead, everything has changed. Help us remember that the throne of heaven is well occupied. You are working all things together after the counsel of your will. Whenever we’re tempted to doubt your burden-bearing care, may Jesus’ cross loom large in our gaze. For it was there, Father, where you bore the greatest of all our burdens—our sin, and demonstrated the incomparable extent of your care. In Jesus’ matchless and merciful name, we pray… Amen.
