Preparation and Reflection
“Zeal without doctrine is like a sword in the hand of a lunatic” – John Calvin“Let not men deceive themselves. Sanctification is a qualification indispensably necessary unto those who will be under the conduct of the Lord Christ unto salvation. He leads none to heaven but whom He sanctifies on earth.” – John Owen
“Love is the very essence and life of the Christian religion.” – Matthew Henry
“The renewed heart has within it the desire to glorify God by presenting a moral life.” – Donald Grey Barnhouse
“Christian doctrine is grace, and Christian conduct is gratitude.” – J.I. Packer
“Christian love is not the victim of our emotions but the servant of our will.” – John R.W. Stott
Call to Worship – John 1:9-14
“The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, yet the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and His own people did not receive Him. But to all who did receive Him, who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.”Confession of Faith The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made; Who, for us and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered and was bur-ied; and the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. And He shall come again, with glory, to judge both the living and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And we believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of Life; Who proceeds from the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is wor-shipped and glorified; Who spoke by the prophets.
And we believe in one holy Christian and apostolic church; We acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; And we look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
