The Humble Glory of Christ
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: Fill our worship with grace, Lord Jesus Christ, that every thought, word, and deed may be acceptable to you, our Rock and Redeemer, Amen.
Call to Worship | Psalm 86
Leader: There is none like you, O Lord, nor are there any works like yours.
People: All the nations you have made shall come and bow down before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.
Leader: For you are great and do wondrous things,
People: You Alone, are God.
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.

Time for Silent Confession
Assurance of Pardon
Leader: God says, “I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me.” This is the Promise of the Lord!

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.
