*Call to Worship (Adapted from 1 Chronicles 16) 

One: Sing to the LORD, all the earth; proclaim his salvation day after day. 

All: Declare his glory among the nation, his marvelous  deeds among all peoples 

One: For great is the LORD and most worthy of praise; he is  to be feared above all gods 

*Invocation 

*Hymn 587 “Who Is on the Lord’s Side?” 

1 Who is on the Lord's side? Who will serve the King? Who will be his helpers, other lives to bring? 

Who will leave the world's side? Who will face the foe? Who is on the Lord's side? Who for him will go? 

By thy call of mercy, by thy grace divine, 

we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine.

2 Not for weight of glory, not for crown and palm, 

enter we the army, raise the warrior psalm; 

but for Love that claimeth lives for whom he died: he whom Jesus nameth must be on his side. 

By thy love constraining, by thy grace divine, 

we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. 

3 Jesus, thou has bought us, not with gold or gem, but with thine own life-blood for thy diadem: 

with thy blessing filling each who comes to thee, 

thou hast made us willing, thou has made us free. By thy grand redemption, by thy grace divine, 

We are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. 

4 Fierce may be the conflict, strong may be the foe, but the King's own army none can overthrow: 

round his standard ranging, vict'ry is secure; 

for his truth unchanging makes the triumph sure. 

Joyfully enlisting by thy grace divine, 

we are on the Lord's side, Savior, we are thine. 

*Call to Confession Taylor Martin 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 50:1-15) Page 803-04 

The Mighty One, God, the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to the place where it sets.  From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.  Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him, and around him a tempest rages.  

He summons the heavens above, and the earth, that he  may judge his people:  

“Gather to me my consecrated ones, who made a covenant  with me by sacrifice.”  

And the heavens proclaim his righteousness, for God himself is judge. 

“Hear, O my people, and I will speak, O Israel and I will testify  against you: I am God, your God.  

I do not rebuke you for your sacrifices or your burnt  offerings, which are ever before me. 

I have no need of a bull from your stall or of goats from your  pens,  

for every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle  on a thousand hills.  

I know every bird in the mountains, and the creatures of the  field are mine.  

If I were hungry, I would not tell you, for the world is  mine, and all that is in it.  

Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?  Sacrifice thank offerings to God, fulfill your vows to  the Most High,  

and call upon me in the day of trouble;  

I will deliver you, and you will honor me.” 

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. 

Offertory "Prelude on 'Beach Spring'" arr. C. Callahan (Brethren, we have met to worship) 

Sermon Text Psalm 18:1-30 Page 454 Sermon “Great Salvation to His King” (Part 1) Rev. Nathan Titus

*Closing Hymn 9 “All You That Fear Jehovah’s Name” 

1 All you that fear Jehovah's name, 

his glory tell, his praise proclaim; 

you children of his chosen race, 

stand in awe before his face, 

stand in awe before his face. 

2 The suff'ring One he has not spurned, 

who unto him for help has turned; 

from him he has not hid his face, 

but answered his request in grace, 

but answered his request in grace. 

3 O Lord, your goodness makes me raise 

amid your people songs of praise; 

before all them that fear you, now 

I worship you and pay my vow, 

I worship you and pay my vow. 

4 For all the meek you will provide; 

they shall be fed and satisfied; 

all they that seek the Lord shall live 

and never-ending praises give, 

and never-ending praises give. 

5 The Lord's unfailing righteousness 

all generations shall confess; 

from age to age shall men be taught 

what wondrous works the Lord has wrought, 

what wondrous works the Lord has wrought. 

*Benediction 

*Congregation Three-fold Amen
