Jesus the Great High Priest
Series: Jesus is Greater | A Study in Hebrews
Speaker: Rev. 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. If you’re musical, feel free to sing, if not, you can just skip the singing parts!
Preparation for Worship
Leader: Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you and worthily magnify your name through Christ, our Lord.
Call to Worship | Psalm 95
Leader, Come, let us bow down in worship,
People: Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
Leader: For He is our God
People: And we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care.
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.
Hymn | Holy, Holy, Holy
Prayer of Confession
Leader: Awesome and compassionate God, you have blessed us with your unfailing love but we have not loved you as we should. You constantly call us, but we don’t listen. You ask us to love our neighbor but we walk away from others in need, wrapped up in our own concerns. We condone evil, prejudice, warfare, and greed. God of grace, as you come to us in mercy, we repent in spirit and in truth, admit our sin, and gratefully receive your forgiveness through Christ, our Redeemer.
Time for Silent Confession
Assurance of Pardon
Leader: As far as the East is from the West, so far has He removed our transgressions from us! This is the 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.

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.
