Preparation for Worship 

*Call to Worship (Adapted from Psalm 47)

One: Clap your hands, all you nations; shout to God with cries of joy. For the 

LORD Most High is awesome, the great King over all the earth.

All: God has ascended amid shouts of joy, the LORD amid the sounding of trumpets.

One: Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is the King of all the earth; sing to him a psalm of praise.

*Invocation

*Hymn 343 “Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation” WESTMINSTER ABBEY

1 Christ is made the sure foundation, 

Christ the head and cornerstone, 

chosen of the Lord and precious,

binding all the church in one; holy Zion's help forever, 

and her confidence alone. 

2 All that dedicated city, 

dearly loved of God on high, in exultant jubilation 

pours perpetual melody; 

God the One in Three adoring in glad hymns eternally. 

3 To this temple, where we call thee,

come, O Lord of hosts, today:

with thy wonted loving-kindness

hear thy people as they pray;

and thy fullest benediction 

shed within its walls alway. 

4 Here vouchsafe to all thy servants

what they ask of thee to gain,

what they gain from thee forever

with the blessed to retain, 

and hereafter in thy glory 

evermore with thee to reign. 

5 Laud and honor to the Father, laud and honor to the Son, 

laud and honor to the Spirit, ever Three and ever One, 

One in might, and One in glory, while unending ages run.

*Call to Confession Rev. Nathan Titus

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.

*2nd Sunday Confession of Faith (Adapted from The Ligonier Statement on Christology)

We believe in and confess the mystery and wonder of God made flesh and rejoice in our great salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.

With the Father and the Holy Spirit, the Son created all things, sustains all things, and makes all things new.

Truly God, He became truly man, two natures in one person.

He was born of the Virgin Mary and lived among us. Crucified, dead, and buried, He rose on the third day, ascended to heaven, and will come again in glory and judgment.

For us, He kept the Law, atoned for sin, and satisfied God’s wrath. 

He is our Prophet, Priest, and King, building His church, interceding for us, and reigning over all things.

Jesus Christ is Lord; we praise His holy Name forever. Amen. 

Psalter Reading (Psalm 53) Page 805

The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt, and their ways are vile; there is no one who does good.  

God looks down from heaven on the sons of men to see if there are any who understand, any who seek God.

Everyone has turned away, they have together become corrupt; there is no one who does good, not even one.

Will the evildoers never learn–those who devour my people as men eat bread and who do not call on God?

There they were, overwhelmed with dread, where there was nothing to dread.

God scattered the bones of those who attacked you;

you put them to shame, for God despised them.

Oh, that salvation for Israel would come out of Zion!

When God restores the fortunes of his people, let Jacob rejoice and Israel be glad!

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 Pharisees, The Conflict Continues” (Part 2) Dr. Drew DiNardo

*Closing Hymn 296 “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name!” CORONATION

1 All hail the pow'r of Jesus' name!

Let angels prostrate fall; 

bring forth the royal diadem,

and crown him Lord of all; 

bring forth the royal diadem, 

and crown him Lord of all. 

2 Crown him, ye martyrs of your God, 

who from his altar call; 

extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, 

and crown him Lord of all; 

extol the Stem of Jesse's rod, 

and crown him Lord of all. 

3 Ye seed of Israel's chosen race, 

ye ransomed of the fall, 

hail him who saves you by his grace, 

and crown him Lord of all; 

hail him who saves you by his grace, 

and crown him Lord of all. 

4 Sinners, whose love can ne'er forget 

the wormwood and the gall, 

go, spread your trophies at his feet, 

and crown him Lord of all; 

go, spread your trophies at his feet, 

and crown him Lord of all.

5 Let ev'ry kindred, ev'ry tribe, 

on this terrestrial ball, 

to him all majesty ascribe, 

and crown him Lord of all; 

to him all majesty ascribe, 

and crown him Lord of all. 

6 O that with yonder sacred throng 

we at his feet may fall; 

we'll join the everlasting song, 

and crown him Lord of all; 

we'll join the everlasting song, 

and crown him Lord of all.
