Call to Worship – Psalm 96:1-6

All Read Together:

1 Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
3 Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
4 For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be feared above all gods.
5 For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols,
but the Lord made the heavens.
6 Splendor and majesty are before him;
strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

Hymn of Adoration – O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing

  1. O for a thousand tongues to sing
    My great Redeemer's praise,
    The glories of my God and King,
    The triumphs of his grace!

  2. My gracious Master and my God,
    Assist me to proclaim,
    To spread thro' all the earth abroad
    The honors of Thy name.

  3. Jesus, the name that calms my fears,
    That bids my sorrows cease;
    ‘Tis music to the sinner’s ears;
    ‘Tis life and health and peace.

  4. He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
    He sets the pris’ner free;
    His blood can make the foulest clean,
    His blood availed for me.

Pastoral Prayer

Scripture Reading – Hebrews 9:11-14

Leader Reads:

11 But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent (not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12 he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption. 13 For if the blood of goats and bulls, and the sprinkling of defiled persons with the ashes of a heifer, sanctify for the purification of the flesh, 14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Hymn of Assurance – Before the Throne of God Above

  1. Before the throne of God above
    I have a strong and perfect plea;
    A great High Priest whose name is Love,
    Who ever lives and pleads for me.
    My name is graven on His hands,
    My name is written on His heart.
    I know that while in heav'n He stands
    No tongue can bid me thence depart,
    No tongue can bid me thence depart.

  2. When Satan tempts me to despair
    And tells me of the guilt within,
    Upward I look and see Him there
    Who made an end to all my sin.
    Because the sinless Savior died
    My sinful soul is counted free;
    For God the Just is satisfied
    To look on Him and pardon me,
    To look on Him and pardon me.

  3. Behold Him there, the risen Lamb,
    My perfect spotless righteousness,
    The great unchangeable I Am,
    The King of glory and of grace.
    One with Himself I cannot die;
    My soul is purchased with His blood.
    My life is hid with Christ on high,
    With Christ, my Savior and my God,
    With Christ, my Savior and my God!

Sermon

Romans 3:21-26

21 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— 22 the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe. For there is no distinction: 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins. 26 It was to show his righteousness at the present time, so that he might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

Hymn of Response – Hallelujah, What a Savior!

  1. “Man of sorrows!” what a name
    For the Son of God who came
    Ruined sinners to reclaim!
    Hallelujah, what a Savior!

  2. Bearing shame and scoffing rude,
    In my place condemned He stood,
    Sealed my pardon with His blood;
    Hallelujah, what a Savior!

  3. Guilty, vile and helpless we,
    Spotless Lamb of God was He;
    Full atonement! Can it be?
    Hallelujah, what a Savior!

  4. When He comes, our glorious King,
    All His ransomed home to bring,
    Then anew this song we’ll sin:
    Hallelujah, what a Savior!

Benediction

Leader:

May you go forth, knowing your sins are forgiven, and telling all who will hear about this great salvation!
