Lord’s Day Morning Worship ~ March 29, 2020

Christ the King Presbyterian Church - OPC - 10:00 AM – LIVE STREAM

 Music for Meditation / Welcome and Announcements / Prelude

Salutation and Call to Worship           Psalm 89:1,5                                              Rev. Hausler

 *Opening Hymn                               “O Worship the King”                                         Hymnal #2

O worship the King all-glorious above,
O gratefully sing his pow'r and his love;
our shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,
pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.

 O tell of his might, O sing of his grace,
whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.
His chariots of wrath the deep thunderclouds form,
and dark is his path on the wings of the storm.

 The earth with its store of wonders untold,
Almighty, your pow'r has founded of old;
has 'stablished it fast by a changeless decree,
and round it has cast, like a mantle, the sea.

 Your bountiful care what tongue can recite?
It breathes in the air; it shines in the light;
it streams from the hills; it descends to the plain;
and sweetly distils in the dew and the rain.

 Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,
in you do we trust, nor find you to fail;
your mercies how tender, how firm to the end,
our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend!

 O measureless Might! Ineffable Love!
While angels delight to hymn you above,
the humbler creation, though feeble their lays,
with true adoration shall lisp to your praise.

 *Opening Prayer and Confession of Faith                                                                                   

Christian, what is your only comfort in life and death?                  Heidelberg Catechism Q. 1

That I with body and soul, both in life and death, am not my own, but belong to my faithful Savior Jesus Christ, who, with his precious blood, has fully satisfied for all my sins, and delivered me from all the power of the devil; and so preserves me that, without the will of my heavenly Father, not a hair can fall from my head; yes, that all things must be subservient to my salvation; and therefore, by His Holy Spirit, He also assures me of eternal life, and makes me sincerely willing and ready henceforth to live unto Him

Hymn                                             “Great Is Thy Faithfulness”                                             Hymnal #32

Great is thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
there is no shadow of turning with thee;
thou changest not, thy compassions, they fail not;
as thou hast been thou forever wilt be.

 Refrain:
Great is thy faithfulness!
Great is thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see:
all I have needed thy hand hath provided -
Great is thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!

 Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
sun, moon, and stars in their courses above,
join with all nature in manifold witness
to thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love. (Refrain)

 Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide,
strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! (Refrain)

Call to Repentance           1 Thessalonians 4:9-18                         ESV Bible, page 987

Hymn                                                          “My Hope”                                                                    

CCLI # 11156644

 My hope rests firm on Jesus Christ, He is my only plea
Though all the world should point and scorn,
His ransom leaves me free…His ransom leaves me free

 My hope sustains me as I strive And strain towards the goal
Though I still stumble into sin
His death paid for it all…His death paid for it all

 My hope provides me with a spur to help me run this race
I know my tears will turn to joy
The day I see His face…The day I see His face

 My hope is to be with my Lord to know as I am known
To serve Him gladly all my days
In praise before His throne…In praise before His throne!

 Silent Prayer of Confession

 Assurance of Pardon                  Titus 2:11-14                                                 ESV Bible, page 998

*Hymn                                          “Wonderful, Merciful Savior”                                            CCLI # 11156644

Wonderful merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh You rescue the souls of men

 Chorus:

You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh our hearts always hunger for

 Counselor Comforter Keeper
Spirit we long to embrace
You offer hope when our hearts
Have hopelessly lost the way
Oh we hopelessly lost the way (Chorus)

 Almighty infinite Father
Faithfully loving Your own
Here in our weakness You find us
Falling before Your throne
Oh we're falling before Your throne (Chorus 2x)

 *Hymn                                             “My Hope Is in the Lord”                                              Hymnal #523

My hope is in the Lord, who gave Himself for me,

And paid the price of all my sin at Calvary.

 Chorus:

For me He died, For me He lives,

And everlasting life and light He freely gives.

 No merit of my own his anger to suppress.

My only hope is found in Jesus’ righteousness. (Chorus)

 And now for me He stands before the Father’s throne.

He shows His wounded hands and names me as His own. (Chorus)

 His grace has planned it all, ’tis mine but to believe,

And recognize His work of love and Christ receive. (Chorus)

Lord’s Day Evening Worship ~ March 29, 2020

Christ the King Presbyterian Church - OPC - 6:00 PM - LIVESTREAM

Music for Meditation / Welcome and Announcements / Prelude

 Salutation and Call to Worship             Psalm 9:1-2                                              Rev. Hausler

*Opening Hymn                         “Wondrous King All Glorious”                              Hymnal #166

Wondrous King, all-glorious,
Sov’reign Lord victorious,
Oh, receive our praise with favor!
From Thee welled God’s kindness
Tho’ we in our blindness
Strayed from Thee, our blessed Savior.
Strengthen thou, Help us now;
Let our tongues be singing,
Thee our praises bringing.

 Heavens, spread the story
Of our Maker’s glory,
All the pomp of earth obscuring.
Sun, thy rays be sending,
Thy bright beams expending,
Light to all the earth assuring.
Moon and star, Praise afar
Him who glorious made you;
The vast heavens aid you.

 O my soul, rejoicing,
Sing, thy praises voicing,
Sing, with hymns of faith adore Him!
All who here have being,
Shout, your voices freeing,
Bow down in the dust before Him.
He is God Sabaoth;
Praise alone the Savior,
Here and there forever.

 Alleluias render
To the Lord most tender,
Ye who know and love the Savior.
Alleluias sing ye,
Ye redeemed, oh, bring ye
Hearts that yield Him glad behavior.
Blest are ye endlessly;
Sinless there forever,
Ye shall laud Him ever.

*Opening Prayer and Confession of Faith                                                                  WCF XI:V

     Christian, what do you believe about God’s work of spiritual revival?

God continues to forgive the sins of those that are justified; and, although they can never fall from the state of justification, yet they may, by their sins, fall under God's fatherly displeasure, and not have the light of his countenance restored unto them, until they humble themselves, confess their sins, beg pardon, and renew their faith and repentance.

 Hymn                                       “All the Way My Savior Leads Me”                          Hymnal #605

 All the way my Savior leads me;
what have I to ask beside?
Can I doubt his tender mercy,
who through life has been my guide?
Heav'nly peace, divinest comfort,
here by faith in him to dwell;
for I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well;
for I know, whate'er befall me,
Jesus doeth all things well.

 All the way my Savior leads me,
cheers each winding path I tread,
gives me grace for ev'ry trial,
feeds me with the living bread.
Though my weary steps may falter,
and my soul a-thirst may be,
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see;
gushing from the rock before me,
lo, a spring of joy I see!

 All the way my Savior leads me -
O the fullness of his love!
perfect rest to me is promised
in my Father's house above:
when my spirit, clothed, immortal,
wings its flight to realms of day,
this my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way;
this my song through endless ages:
Jesus led me all the way!

 Prayer for the Body of Christ      

Responsive Reading          Romans 8:14, 16-18, 28, 31, 35, 37-39

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God:

And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?

Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers,

Nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

*Hymn                                  “My Heart Is Filled with Thankfulness”                                             

CCLI # 11156644

 My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who bore my pain
Who plumbed the depths of my disgrace
And gave me life again
Who crushed my curse of sinfulness
And clothed me with His light
And wrote His law of righteousness
With pow'r upon my heart

 My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who walks beside
Who floods my weaknesses with strength
And causes fears to fly
Whose every promise is enough
For every step I take
Sustaining me with arms of love
And crowning me with grace

My heart is filled with thankfulness
To Him who reigns above
Whose wisdom is my perfect peace
Whose every thought is love
For every day I have on earth
Is given by the King
So I will give my life my all
To love and follow Him

  For every day I have on earth
Is given by the King
So I will give my life my all
To love and follow Him

 Scripture Reading and Prayer           Genesis 9:8-17                                    ESV Bible, page 7

Sermon                                      “Noah: Grace in God’s Patience”                      Mr. J. Kim, Intern

Prayer of Thanksgiving and Prayer for Offerings

 *Hymn                                   “Who Trusts In God, a Strong Abode”                        Hymnal #668

Who trusts in God, a strong abode
in heav'n and earth possesses;
who looks in love to Christ above,
no fear his heart oppresses.
In you alone, dear Lord, we own
sweet hope and consolation;
our shield from foes, our balm for woes,
our great and sure salvation.

 Though Satan's wrath beset our path,
and worldly scorn assail us,
while you are near we will not fear,
your strength shall never fail us:
your rod and staff shall keep us safe,
and guide our steps forever;
nor shades of death, nor hell beneath,
our souls from you shall sever.

 In all the strife of mortal life
our feet shall stand securely;
temptation's hour shall lose its pow'r,
for you shall guard us surely.
O God, renew, with heav'nly dew,
our body, soul, and spirit,
until we stand at your right hand,
through Jesus' saving merit.

 *Benediction             *Congregation standing
