THE JICARILLA APACHE REFORMED CHURCH
May 31, 2020

WE COME NEAR TO GOD
CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 104:31-34
May the glory of the Lord endure forever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works,
who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke!
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.

OPENING SONG: "Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise"

PRAYER OF CONFESSION
L: Let us together confess our sins to almighty God. Let us pray.
C: Eternal God,
we confess that often we have failed
to be an obedient church:
we have not done your will;
we have broken your law;
we have rebelled against your love;
we have not loved our neighbors;
we have not heard the cry of the needy.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us for joyful obedience.
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.

WORDS OF ASSURANCE 1 John 1:8-9
(These words provide assurance, from God's word, that your sin is forgiven in the finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ.)
"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

THE 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. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.

WE LISTEN TO GOD’S WORD
SCRIPTURE LESSON: Zechariah 12:1-14

SERMON: "Christian Living Is Thankful And Humble"

WE RESPOND TO GOD
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH: The Apostles Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
died, and was buried; he descended to hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended to heaven and is seated
at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy church throughout the world, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins
the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
