Call to Worship and Confession of Faith
Psalm 111: 1-­‐10
Pastor: Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation. People: Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Pastor: Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever. People: He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered;
the Lord is gracious and merciful. Pastor: He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever. People: He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. Pastor: The works of his hands are faithful and just; People: all his precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
Pastor: He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. People: Holy and awesome is his name! The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
all those who practice it have a good understanding.

Q. 103
Question: What do we pray for in the third petition?
Corporate Confession
Oh Lord,
Bend my hands and cut them off, for I have often struck you with a wayward will, when these fingers should embrace you by faith.
I am not yet weaned from all created glory, honor, wisdom, and esteem of others, for I have a secret motive to eye my name in all I do.
Let me not only speak the word sin, but see the thing itself.
Give me to know that though my sins are crucified they are never wholly mortified.
Hatred, malice, ill-­‐will, vain-­‐glory that hungers for and hunts after man’s approval and applause, all are crucified, forgiven, but they rise again in my sinful heart.
Yet you have not left me here without grace; the cross still stands and meets my needs in the deepest straits of my soul.
The memory of my great sins, my many temptations, my falls, bring afresh into my mind the remembrance of your great help from heaven, of the great grace that saved such a wretch as I am.
There is no treasure so wonderful as that continuous experience of your grace toward me which alone can subdue the risings of sin within:
Give me more of it.
Answer: In the third petition, (which is, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven,) we pray, That God, by his grace, would make us able and willing to know, obey, and submit to his will in all things, as the angels do in heaven. Kingdom Prayer
