GREETING &
CALL TO WORSHIP

Leader: And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting,

People: “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!”

Leader: And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying,

People: “Who is this?”

Leader: And the crowds said,

People: “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee.”

PRAYER OF ADORATION, ASSISTANCE, & BLESSING

Hymnal #300 “Blessing and Honor and Glory and Power”

Blessing and honor and glory and power,
wisdom and riches and strength evermore
give ye to him who our battle hath won,
whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.

Soundeth the heav'n of the heav'ns with his name;
ringeth the earth with his glory and fame;
oceans and mountain, stream, forest, and flower
Echo his praises and tell of his power.

Ever ascendeth the song and the joy;
ever descendeth the love from on high;
blessing and honor and glory and praise —
this is the theme of the hymns that we raise.

Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
dying in weakness, but rising to reign.

REFLECTION ON GOD’S LAW

Leader: Honor your father and your mother.

People: Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right.

Leader: You shall not murder.

People: Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.

Leader: You shall not commit adultery.

People: Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Leader: You shall not steal.

People: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. Do your work quietly and earn your own living.

Leader: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.

People: Having put away falsehood,

let each one of you speak the truth with his neighbor.

Leader: You shall not covet anything that is your neighbor's.

People: For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: "You shall love your

neighbor as yourself."

SILENT PRAYER OF CONFESSION

ASSURANCE OF GRACE

Song “His Mercy is More”

What love could remember no wrongs we have done?

Omniscient, all knowing, He counts not their sum.

Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore,

Our sins, they are many; His mercy is more.

What patience would wait as we constantly roam?

What Father, so tender, is calling us home?

He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor.

Our sins, they are many; His mercy is more.

Chorus

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new ev’ry morn.

Our sins, they are many; His mercy is more.

What riches of kindness He lavished on us.

His blood was the payment; His life was the cost.

We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford.

Our sins, they are many; His mercy is more.

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more.

Stronger than darkness, new ev’ry morn.

Our sins, they are many; His mercy is more. [Repeat]

PRAYER OF THE CHURCH Elder B. Tidwell

Psalm 104:31-35 “Forevermore May the Lord’s Glory Stand”

Forevermore may the LORD’s glory stand;

The LORD will enjoy the works of His hand.

He looks at the earth and it trembles in fear;

He touches the mountains, the smoke then appears.

As long as I live, the LORD I will praise;

To God I will sing throughout all my days.

May my meditation be pleasing to Him;

My heart in the LORD then with gladness will brim.

Consumed from the earth let sinners then be;

The wicked in life no more let us see.

And now, O my soul, blessing give to the LORD!

Let glad hallelujahs ring; O praise the LORD!

GOD’S WORD READ Mark 4:35-41

GOD’S WORD PREACHED “Whatever Waves May Rise” by Rev. Dr. Harrison Perkins

Prayer Of Application & The Lord’s Prayer

All: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen.

Song “I Have Been Crucified with Christ”

I have been crucified with Christ

And I no longer live;

I have been crucified with Christ

And I no longer live,

But Christ lives in me.

The life I live in the body,

I live by faith in the son of God,

Who loved me and gave himself for me;

Who loved me and gave himself for me.

Hymnal p. 845 “Apostles’ Creed”

Minister: Christian, what do you believe?

All: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker 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 into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into 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 catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

WORDS OF INSTITUTION & WARNING

Minister: The Lord be with you;

People: And also with you.

Minister: Lift up your hearts;

People: We lift them up to the Lord.

Minister: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God;

People: It is right to give him thanks and praise.
