Call to Worship | Psalm 145:1-3
Leader: I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever.
All: Great is the Lord and most worthy of praise; his greatness no one can fathom.
Song of Praise | The Lion and the Lamb
He’s coming on the clouds
Kings and kingdoms will bow down
And every chain will break
As broken hearts declare His praise
For who can stop the Lord Almighty?
(Chorus)
Our God is the Lion
The Lion of Judah
He’s roaring with power
And fighting our battles
And every knee will bow before Him
Our God is the Lamb
The Lamb that was slain
For the sin of the world
His blood breaks the chains
And every knee will bow
Before the Lion and the Lamb
Every knee will bow before Him
So open up the gates
Make way before the King of Kings
The God who comes to save is here
To set the captives free
For who can stop the Lord Almighty
Who can stop the Lord Almighty
Song of Praise | You Alone
We will sing a new song for You
Of Your power, salvation, and truth
You are the victory
You can never be moved
On our knees we will worship You, Lord
On our knees we will worship You, Lord
Here with this offering
We come into Your courts
(Chorus)
Splendor and might, beauty and light
You alone are the Lord
You alone are the Lord
Glory and strength, great is Your name
You alone are the Lord
You alone are the Lord
Trembling here at Your feet
The whole earth, the whole earth is singing
Let our idols fall worthless aside
Those glittering, treacherous lies
We come to the richness
Of the Lord God on high
Let the seas rejoice with a shout
Let the fields and the forests cry out
Creation exulting
Let us sing it out loud!
(Chorus)
Prayer of Adoration (Concluded by the Lord’s Prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer of Confession | Psalm 32:1-5
Leader: Blessed is the one whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered.
All: Blessed is the one whose sin the Lord does not count against them and in whose spirit is no deceit.
Leader: When I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.
All: For day and night your hand was heavy on me; my strength was sapped as in the heat of summer.
Leader: Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity.
All: I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Silent Confession
Words of Encouragement | Psalm 130:7-8

Song of Praise | O for a Thousand Tongues To Sing
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace
Jesus, the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
It’s music in the sinner’s ears
It’s life, and health, and peace
(Chorus)
He speaks, and listening to His voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe
The humble poor believe
He breaks the power of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Your name
(Chorus)
Greetings and Announcements
Scripture Reading | Revelation 3:7-13
7 “To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name. 9 I will make those who are of the synagogue of Satan, who claim to be Jews though they are not, but are liars—I will make them come and fall down at your feet and acknowledge that I have loved you. 10 Since you have kept my command to endure patiently, I will also keep you from the hour of trial that is going to come on the whole world to test the inhabitants of the earth.
11 I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown. 12 The one who is victorious I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will they leave it. I will write on them the name of my God and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which is coming down out of heaven from my God; and I will also write on them my new name. 13 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (NIV)
Sermon | The Church in Philadelphia by Rev. Andrew Field
Reflection Song | Great Is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee;
Thou changest not,Thy compassions, they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be.
(Chorus)
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
(Chorus)
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth,
Thine own dear presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow,
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
(Chorus)
Closing Song | I Waited Patiently
I waited patiently
I waited patiently
I waited patiently for you Lord
And you turned to me
Set my spirit free
I waited patiently
For you Lord
Lord I remember when
You helped me stand again
You gave me strength and then
Opened my ears
And I heard your voice
Cutting through the noise
A blessed rush of joy
Eclipsed my fears
(Chorus)
You’ve given my heart a song to sing
My feet a place to stand
My eyes now recognize
My life is surely in your hands
And even when pain comes to stay
My God, you don’t delay
You’re pleased to rescue me
From sinking sand
May all who seek your face
Who long for your embrace
And need your saving grace
Rejoice and sing
Oh but as for me
I have such great need
Come deliver me
Mighty king
(Chorus)
You suffered patiently
You hung upon the tree
You bore my penalty
Conquered the grave
You are lifted high
And with you so am I
So for eternal life
I’ll sing your praise
(Chorus x 2)
Benediction and Dismissal
Minister: Let us go forth to serve the world as those who love our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
