Call to Worship, Psalm 100
His Steadfast Love Endures Forever
A Psalm for giving thanks.
1 Make a joyful noise to the LORD, all the earth!
2 Serve the LORD with gladness!
Come into his presence with singing!
3 Know that the LORD, he is God!
It is he who made us, and we are his;
we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4 Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
and his courts with praise!
Give thanks to him; bless his name!
5 For the LORD is good;
his steadfast love endures forever,
and his faithfulness to all generations.

Worship Through Confessional Reading,
Westminster Confession of Faith, Chapter 26
- All believers are united to Jesus Christ, their head, by his Spirit and by faith, and have fellowship with him in his grace, suffering, death, resurrection, and glory. United to one another in love the saints have fellowship in each other’s gifts and grace and are obliged to perform those public and private duties which nourish their mutual good, both spiritually and physically.
- By their profession of faith saints are bound to maintain a holy fellowship and communion with each other in the worship of God and in the performance of other spiritual services for their mutual improvement. They are also bound to help each other in material things according to their different abilities and needs. This fellowship is to be offered, as God gives the opportunity, to everyone in every place who calls on the name of the Lord Jesus.
- This communion which the saints have with Christ in no way means that they share in his godhead or are equal with him in any respect—to affirm either is impious and blasphemous. Neither does their communion with each other take away or infringe the right each person has to own and possess goods and property
Worship through Scripture Song:
There is a Louder Shout to Come
Verse 1 (echo after each line)
There is a louder shout to come,
There is a sweeter song to hear;
All the nations with one voice,
All the people with one fear
Bowing down before Your throne,
Ev’ry tribe and tongue we’ll be;
All the nations with one voice,
All the people with one King
And what a song we’ll sing upon that day
Chorus
O what a song we’ll sing
And O what a tune we’ll bear;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
O what a joy will rise
And O what a sound we’ll make;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
Verse 2 (echo after each line)
Now we see a part of this,
One day we shall see in full;
All the nations with one voice,
All the people with one love
No one else will share Your praise,
Nothing else can take Your place;
All the nation with one voice,
All the people with one Lord
And what a song we’ll sing upon that day
Chorus
O what a song we’ll sing
And O what a tune we’ll bear;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
O what a joy will rise
And O what a sound we’ll make;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
Verse 3 (echo after each line)
Even now upon the earth
There’s a glimpse of all to come;
Many people with one voice,
Harmony of many tongues
We will all confess Your name,
You will be our only praise;
All the nations with one voice,
All the people with one God
And what a song we’ll sing upon that day
Chorus
O what a song we’ll sing
And O what a tune we’ll bear;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
O what a joy will rise
And O what a sound we’ll make;
You deserve an anthem of the highest praise
Worship through Scripture Song:
You are My Hiding Place
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength of the Lord
You are my hiding place
You always fill my heart
With songs of deliverance
Whenever I am afraid
I will trust in You
I will trust in You
Let the weak say I am strong
In the strength of the Lord
I will trust in You

Romans 1:8-12 English Standard Version (ESV)
8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. 9 For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you 10 always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will I may now at last succeed in coming to you. 11 For I long to see you, that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to strengthen you— 12 that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.
3 John 4
4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.
