Draw Near, Hold Fast

Draw Near, Hold Fast

Series: Jesus is Greater | A Study in Hebrews

Speaker: Tim Latham

Detail:

This is a basic home worship guide you can use to worship together in your home this Sunday. We encourage you to gather together with your family and any other neighbors or friends that might be in your home to worship with you. Choose a leader to lead the “Leader” portions.  

Preparation for Worship

Leader: O God, you pour out the Spirit of grace and love, deliver us from cold hearts and wandering thoughts, that with steady minds and burning zeal we may worship you in spirit and truth. Amen. 

Call to Worship

Leader: Sing to the Lord, a new song; 
People: sing to the Lord, all the earth. 
Leader: Sing to the Lord, praise His name; 
People: proclaim His salvation day after day.  

Prayers of Adoration

Spend a few minutes praising God. You could just invite people to say words out loud that characterize God and His care for us, or thank for who He is and what He has done for us. Today, on Pentecost, you might pay special attention to the gift of the Holy Spirit

Hymn | Fairest Lord Jesus

Prayer of Confession

Leader: Lord, you are a God who keeps promises. In our songs and prayers, we say that we want to be Christians but too often we our promises, too often our actions do not matchup with our words. We say hurtful things to others, we think of ourselves first, and worst of all, we ignore you. Lord, forgive us and hear our prayer.

Time for Silent Confession

Assurance of Pardon

Leader: All the prophets testify about Christ that everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name! This is a Promise of the Lord!
People: Thanks be to God!

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son
and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be:
world without end, Amen, Amen.

Offering

Offertory | He Will Hold Me Fast (Linda Gyrath

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
Praise Him all creatures here below!
Praise Him above ye heavenly hosts!
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Amen.

Scripture | Hebrews 9:11-28

Homily

Praise | Jesus, I My Cross Have Taken

Confession of Faith | The Apostles’ Creed

Leader: Christians, what do you believe? 
People: I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there he shall 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.

Praise | We Will Feast in the House of Zion

Commission

May the Lord bless you and keep you, may the Lord make His face shine upon you, and give you peace forever, Amen.
