Assistant Pastor: Rev. Bill Bivans 
 
 
 

Greetings in the Name of the Risen and Reigning Lord Jesus Christ! 
 

We are glad that you are here!  Please enter the worship service and show love and deference to your brothers and sisters by being as quiet as possible upon entering. You may continue your worship preparation by praying or reflecting upon the words of the hymns.  Please pray expectantly that the Triune God will be exalted and glorified as we worship Him in spirit and in truth, and that we would truly receive all that our Lord desires for us this morning.

Affirmation of Our Faith “The Shorter Catechism”

Q.  19 What is the misery of man’s fallen condition?

A. By their fall all mankind lost fellowship with God and brought His anger and curse on themselves.  They are therefore subject to all the miseries of this life, to death itself, and to the pains of hell forever.

Q.  20 Did God leave all mankind to die in sin and misery?

A. From all eternity and merely because it pleased Him, God chose some to have everlasting life.  These He freed from sin and misery by a covenant of grace and brought them to salvation by a Redeemer.

Q.  21 Who is the Redeemer of God’s chosen ones?

A.  The only Redeemer of God’s chosen is the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, who became a man.  He was and continues to be God and man in two distinct natures and one person forever.
