We worship our God who knows us perfectly, but we have not known Him as we ought. We come before our God, setting aside the things of earth that filled our minds in the past week. All those trivial matters, which will pass away, we put behind us to learn his wisdom, grace and power. The firm foundation of the word establishes the actuality of these truths. All was planned and created in His wisdom. His people will be saved and avenged through His grace. His wrath will be experienced by all those who walk in the ways of the…
Sunday Morning Calls to Worship
Call To Worship – August 30th
We worship our God for great is His faithfulness to His church. He ordained His church and purchased His church by the blood of His Son Jesus. God intended to possess one people, the Israel of God, and He procured them for His glory. Both Jew and Gentile alike have fallen short of the glory of God. Both are in need of the person and work of Christ to save them from their transgressions. Believers from both groups are brought into one Church of the Lord Jesus and have access in one Spirit to the Father. Let us worship and…

Call To Worship August 2 2015
We worship our God who covenanted and ordered salvation before the foundation of the world. God made an intra-Trinitarian covenant, according to his preordained plan, to save those persons He chose for salvation by His Grace. He did not covenant or plan to save anyone, but the elect. He did not choose or promise to save every single individual who ever lived on the earth. If He did, then He has miserably failed. He promised to save His people who were predestined before time began. Yes, we are saddened for the many who do not believe and will suffer the…

Call to Worship July 19 2015
We worship our God who manifests His grace by making dead sinners into new creations. He displays His grace in the present, but the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness will be seen in the ages to come. The riches and kindness are in Christ Jesus. We have nothing to offer for grace, but God gave it freely to those He chose before time began. Even the grace bestowed on us negates our ability to boast because it is in Christ Jesus. It is Christ who took on flesh, lived perfectly according to God’s law, He alone shed His…
Call to Worship July 5 2015
We worship the God whose grace is beyond compare. While troubles gather all around us, and the world trusts in their own abilities and works, we trust the Lord our provider. He not only provides food, clothing, and shelter according to His plan, but He is the only being capable of providing perfect grace. His grace does not cooperate with our mindsets or works. Therefore, all of our boasting is excluded. How do we know of this grace? The word of God alone directs us toward the saving grace of God. The scripture tells us of the Father who sent…
Call To Worship June 28 2015
Mercy and grace abounding free, To sinners saved by God’s decree, No work of man may be their plea, But only Christ’s work stands for thee. For sinners saved by grace alone, Know their faith will not atone, The faith they have is a gift as well, And causes not their pride to swell. The sinner saved boasts in one thing: The Son of God who killed death’s sting. So turn away from self and pride, And only look to Christ to hide. Hide in Christ the firm foundation, And took on sin as perfect oblation, He died in sacrificial…
Call to Worship June 14 2015
We worship our God who is almighty and sovereign over salvation. God planned and ordained all things which have come to pass. He created all things and nothing escaped His almighty hand. The fall of man after creation did not go unpunished. Death spiritually became the plight of all mankind due to the sin of Adam and Eve. Yet God, being rich and merciful toward those whom He predestined, saved many who were dead in their sins and trespasses. So, we praise the Lord, the almighty, as He is our salvation. We did nothing for our salvation, but contribute sin…
Call To Worship June 7 2015
We worship our God who reigns in perfection. The holiness of God makes His commands faultless, therefore He is not capable of commanding anything that is not perfect. He commands our praise not because he needs it, but it is the right and holy mindset and action to fulfill. Yet our sin is so great it renders us incapable of obedience to God’s law and precepts. Man does not praise God rightly due to a sin sickness, but man is dead in sin. So, we come to worship and recognize our sin for the affront it is to the being…
