Call to Worship The Scriptural call to worship at the beginning of our service is a reminder that, as we gather, it is God who initiates and reveals Himself to us through His Word, and we respond to Him.
I will sing of the steadfast love of the Lord, forever; with my mouth I will make known Your faithfulness to all generations. Psalm 89:1
Corporate Confession During this time we acknowledge that we have sinned against a holy God, and we have the assurance that, because of Christ, we have been forgiven and are blessed recipients of God’s mercy, grace and love.
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. Romans 8:1–2
Offering Giving is an act of worship in which we give generously of our substance to further the mission of the church and to bring glory to God.

5 Solas of the Reformation In an age of corruption and false teaching, the Protestant Reformers returned to the Scriptures. There they found the way of salvation. Instead of man making his way to God through his own works they rediscovered the ancient way of salvation: the gospel. The five solas were the attempt to summarize biblical teaching on salvation. By God’s grace alone, received through faith alone, on the basis of Christ alone, with Scripture alone as the only, final, decisive, authority on truth, to the glory of God alone.
• Grace alone (sola gratia)
• Faith alone (sola fide)
• Christ alone (solus Christus)
• Scripture alone (sola Scriptura)
• God’s glory alone (soli Deo gloria)

Summer Challenge During the summer months, it is easy to get sidetracked with your daily walk with the Lord because of vacations, summer sports leagues, and just general busyness. So, this summer, to help you stay on track, we are challenging you to do two things: 1. Read through the 40-Day Bible Reading Plan (printed copies are available in the Lobby) 2. Memorize Ephesians 2:1–10 This week: Ephesians 2:1–2 1
And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked,
following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience

Part 2: Christ, Redemption, Grace QUESTION 23
Why must the Redeemer be truly God? That because of his divine nature his obedience and suffering would be perfect and effective; and also that he would be able to bear the righteous anger of God against sin and yet overcome death.
