The Sermon

The Rev. Ed Dunnington

Upon entering the common room, please maintain silence for the sake of the congregation’s preparation for worship. Also, please make sure electronic devices are off or using silent mode.

Reflection & Preparation It ought to be the business of every day to prepare for our last day. -- Matthew Henry

We are caught up at a particular stage in our national ethos in which we're not only materialistic. The church is no civic center, no social club or encounter group, no Sunday morning meeting place; it is a new society, created for the salvation of a lost world. -- Charles Colson

Most of the ordinary people who lose their faith are not overthrown by philosophical argument; they are disillusioned by the churchmen they meet. One sanctimonious hypocrite makes a hundred unbelievers. -- Joy Davidman Lewis Smoke on the Mountain

Welcome and Announcements

The Rev. Doug Hart

All:

Let us confess our sins together.

O God of all grace, we confess that we are sinners, but in Christ you have given us a Savior. Produce in us a faith to live by him, to make him our desire, our hope, our wisdom, our glory. Preserve us by his grace from this present evil world, so that its smiles never allure us, its frowns never terrify us, its vices never defile us, its errors never delude us. Cause us to live as strangers and pilgrims in the cities of this earth, knowing that our true citizenship is in the city of heaven, so that all we do may be done to the Savior’s glory; in whose name we pray.

Silent Confession Assurance of Pardon and Comfort

Psalm 34:17-18

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. (Psalm 34:17-18) *Song of Renewal

God’s Calling *Call to Worship Psalm 34:1-3

The Rev. Ed Dunnington

Minister:

I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.

People:

My soul will boast in the Lord; Let the afflicted hear and rejoice. Glorify the Lord with me; Let us exalt his name together.

*Closing Hymn

The Covenant Promises: For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself. And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting possession, and I will be their God. And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” (Acts 2:39; Gen. 17:7; Acts 16:31) Question to the congregation: Do you as a congregation undertake the responsibility of assisting the parents in the Christian nurture of this child?

Postlude *The Congregation Stands

A Word About The Lord’s Supper At Christ The King:

We come forward by row to receive the elements and each person may eat the bread whenever they feel ready. We ask that everyone hold the cup until all have been served in order to allow us to drink together. Wine will be found in the outer ring of the tray, grape juice in the inside rings. If you need to be served in your pew, please notify an elder or deacon. You are welcome to participate in the Lord’s Supper if you are a baptized Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, and a faithful member or communicant of an evangelical congregation, recognized as belonging to the fellowship of Christian believers. If this does not describe you, or if you are not prepared to share in this meal, we encourage you to spend this time in prayer and to consider more deeply your relationship to Jesus Christ. We also ask that children, who have not yet publicly professed their faith in Christ to become communicant members, refrain from partaking until doing so. This is a time for all people to seek the Lord. For Christians, Communion (also called The Lord’s Supper) is a time to meet with their Savior by faith, to be strengthened and renewed by Him as they eat bread and drink wine.
