This is the Savior," thus they say,

Call to Confession 

Time of Silent Confession 

Words of Assurance 

*The Gloria Patri 

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.

*4th Sunday Confession of Faith (taken from Westminster  Confession of Faith) 

We believe God requires of us faith in Jesus Christ and  repentance unto life to escape the wrath and curse of God  due to us for sin;  

We believe by His free grace we are effectually called,  justified, and sanctified, and gathered into the visible  church out of which there is no ordinary possibility of  salvation;  

We believe that we also are given in this life such  accompanying benefits as assurance of God’s love, peace  of conscience, joy in the Holy Spirit, increase of grace, and  perseverance therein to the end.  

We believe that at death, we are made perfect in holiness  and immediately pass into glory; we shall openly be  acknowledged and acquitted in the Day of Judgment, and  We believe we are made perfectly blessed in the fully  enjoying of God for all eternity. Amen. 

Psalter Reading (Psalm 52) Page 804-05 

Why do you boast of evil, you mighty man? Why do you boast  all day long, you who are a disgrace in the eyes of God?  Your tongue plots destruction; it is like a sharpened  razor, you who practice deceit.  

You love evil rather than good, falsehood rather than speaking  the truth.  

You love every harmful word, O you deceitful tongue!  Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin: 

he will snatch you up and tear you from your tent; he  will uproot you from the land of the living.  

The righteous will see and fear; they will laugh at him, saying,  “Here now is the man who did not make God his  stronghold but trusted in his great wealth and grew  strong by destroying others!”  

But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God;  I trust in God’s unfailing love for ever and ever.  I will praise you forever for what you have done; in your name I  will hope, for your name is good.  

I will praise you in the presence of your saints. 

Pastoral Prayer and Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy  kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts,  as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation  but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the  power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Sermon “Christ and the Pharisees” (Part 1) Dr. Drew DiNardo

*Closing Hymn 170 “Fairest Lord Jesus” 

1 Fairest Lord Jesus, Ruler of all nature, 

Son of God and Son of Man! 

Thee will I cherish, thee will I honor, 

thou, my soul's glory, joy, and crown. 

2 Fair are the meadows, fair are the woodlands, robed in the blooming garb of spring: 

Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer, 

who makes the woeful heart to sing. 

3 Fair is the sunshine, fair is the moonlight, 

and all the twinkling, starry host: 

Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer 

than all the angels heav'n can boast. 

4 Beautiful Savior! Lord of the nations! 

Son of God and Son of Man! 

Glory and honor, praise, adoration, 

now and for evermore be thine. 

*Benediction
