That My Joy May Be In You, and That Your Joy May Be Full

LORD’S DAY DIVINE WORSHIP

June 27, 2021 at 1:00 pm

And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.”

—Revelation 21:3-5a

“Lord, Thy Word Abideth”

Lord, thy Word abideth, and our footsteps guideth;

who its truth believeth light and joy receiveth.

When our foes are near us, then thy Word doth cheer us;

Word of consolation, message of salvation.

Word of mercy, giving succor to the living;

Word of life, supplying comfort to the dying!

O that we, discerning its most holy learning,

Lord, may love and fear thee, evermore be near thee.

Call to Worship*                                                 Psalm 93

The Lord reigns, He is clothed with majesty; The Lord has clothed and girded Himself with strength; Indeed, the world is firmly established, it will not be moved. Thy throne is established from of old; Thou are from everlasting. Thy testimonies are fully confirmed. Holiness befits Thy house, O Yahweh, forevermore!

Confession of Faith                                 Psalm 121

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: He that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: He shall keep thy soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

Preparation for Confession of Sin                      Ephesians 4:29-32

Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.

Confession of Sin

Blessing*                                                        Jude 1:20-25

But you, beloved, building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ that leads to eternal life. And have mercy on those who doubt; save others by snatching them out of the fire; to others show mercy with fear, hating even the garment stained by the flesh.

Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.
