WELCOME ANNOUNCEMENTS PIANO & SCRIPTURE MEDITATION (Acts 5:20)
Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life.
CALL TO WORSHIP (Luke 1:68-69, 78-79) Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, for He
has visited us and accomplished redemption for His people, and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of David His servant, because of the tender mercy of our God, with which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, to shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
HYMN OF INVOCATION Let Us Love and Sing and Wonder (RUF version, vs. 1,2,4,5)
PRAYER OF INVOCATION SCRIPTURE READING Mark 14:53-65
CORPORATE CONFESSION OF SIN (prayed together)
Heavenly Father, Your Son was innocent. We confess that it was for our sin that He was condemned to die on the cross. We have broken Your holy commandments - both in the things we have done and in the things we have left undone. Forgive us! Thank You that, in the day Christ returns with the clouds of heaven to judge the living and the dead, we may have confidence, knowing that He died in our place. Hear now our private confessions of sin.
PRIVATE CONFESSION OF SIN ASSURANCE OF PARDON Jesus is the one whom God exalted to His right hand as a Prince and a Savior, to grant repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins. Acts 5:31
HYMNS OF PRAISE Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah (RUF version, vs.1,2,3)
O Love That Will Not Let Me Go (RUF version, vs. 1,2,3,4)
CONFESSION OF FAITH Belgic Confession, Article 14 (part 1)
We believe that God created man out of the dust of the earth, and made and formed him after His own image and likeness,1 good, righteous, and holy, capable in all things to will agreeably to the will of God.2 But being in honor he did not recognize it or his excellency,3 but willfully subjected himself to sin, and consequently to death and the curse, giving ear to the words of the devil.4 For the commandment of life which he had received,5 he transgressed; and by sin separated himself from God6 who was his true life, having corrupted his whole nature,7 whereby he made himself liable to corporal and spiritual death.8 Gen. 1:26; Eccl. 7:29; Eph. 4:24 Gen. 1:31; Eph. 4:24 Ps. 49:21; Isa. 59:2 4 Gen. 3:6, 17 5 Gen. 1:3, 7 6 Isa. 59:2 7 Eph. 4:18 8 Rom..5:12; Gen. 2:17; 3:19

BIBLE STUDY --This Bible Study is meeting at Bethel and via Zoom. Contact Dave Postema (
[email protected]) to join the zoom call. Our current study will be on the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans. In today’s world – just as in the time of the Roman empire – there was little hope in what many people believed about the future. This is why the book of Romans is rewarding – it offers hope. “For in hope we have been saved…” Romans 8:24. Please join us!

Gladys Kramm – Please pray for Gladys as she recovers from injuries sustained in a fall on April 25th.

Thankfully no other broken bones.

MISSION STATEMENT Because the gospel of Christ changes everything, Our mission is to spread the gospel of Christ so that Bethel Church, North Dallas, and the world grow in Him.
Drop off Your Little Ones You are welcome to bring children of all ages into the Worship Service, and we encourage you to worship as a family. We do provide a baby and a toddler nursery during the Worship Service for children. Toddler nursery is for walkers through age 4. Our nursery volunteers will provide quality and secure care designed to give your children a very positive experience. Busy bags are available; they are hanging on the wall outside the nurseries for children attending the service to enjoy. Worship in the Service with your little ones for as long as you feel comfortable before dropping them off in the nursery. Our mission is for even the youngest among us to hear and experience the Gospel each week.
