The Order of Melchizedek
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: The Earth is the Lord’s, for He made it:
People: Come, let us adore Him!
Leader: Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness:
People: Come, let us adore Him!
Leader: The mercy of our Lord is everlasting:
People: Come, let us adore Him!
Leader: Lord, open our lips.
People: And our mouths shall proclaim your praise.
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.

Prayer of Confession
Leader: Lord, we cry to you to heal our wounds. We call to you in distress and plead for your salvation, we have sinned against your law and failed to do your will; we confess that we have disobeyed your holy Word. We pray, purge our lives of selfishness and our hearts of bitterness, lead us back to righteousness, save us through Jesus, Christ, AMEN.
Assurance of Pardon
Leader: There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! This is the Promise of the Lord!
People: Thanks be to God!

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.

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.
