Series: Exodus: The God Who Is
The God Who is One

Passage: Exodus 20:1-17
When asked to summarize God's will for people, Jesus responds with what has sometimes been called the two tablets of the law: love God and love people.

This week Israel is introduced to the tablets of the Ten Commandments, considered one of the most monumental moral documents of human history. Jesus pointed out that embedded in these commands is a glimpse of heaven itself, if we're willing to see it and obey in faith.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Psalm 119:129-136
Leader: Lift up your hearts
Congregation: Our hearts are lifted up to the Lord
CONFESSION
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name.
Amen.
ASSURANCE OF FORGIVENESS IN CHRIST
Romans 3:20-24
CONFESSION OF FAITH (Apostle’s Creed)
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again 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

And in Your ocean depths its flow
May richer fuller be

My life is not my own It's yours
My life is not my own I know it's yours

I yield my flickering torch to Thee
And my heart restores it's borrowed ray And in Your sunshine's blaze its day
May brighter fairer be

In Christ Alone
Keith & Kristyn Getty
Verse 1
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled,
when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
Verse 2
In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
Verse 3
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
Verse 4
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
God Is For Us
CityAlight
Verse 1
We won't fear the battle, we won't fear the night
We will walk the valley with You by our side
You will go before us, You will lead the way
We have found a refuge, only You can save
Chorus
Sing with joy now: our God is for us
The Father's love is a strong and mighty fortress
Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us
Verse 2
Even when I stumble, even when I fall
Even when I turn back, still Your love is sure
You will not abandon, You will not forsake
You will cheer me onward with never-ending grace
Bridge
Neither height nor depth can separate us
Hell and death will not defeat us
He who gave His son to free us
Holds me in His love
DOXOLOGY
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
