Sunday Worship
(R.C. Sproul) “Biblical leadership is not about power and prestige but about serving others under the lordship of Christ.” (B.B. Warfield) “The true Christian spirit is the spirit of submission—not to men, but to God’s ordinance through men.” (J.I. Packer) “Biblical submission is intelligent, willing, and God-directed. It does not demean a person’s value, but exalts God’s wisdom in the ordering of His world.”

Presider: E. Cyril Laugeon Preacher: P. Jim Jung Please stand where indicated by * WELCOME & ANNOUNCEMENTS CALL TO WORSHIP [Based on Psalm 111:6-10, ESV] Read bold aloud together 6 He has shown his people the power of his works, in giving them the inheritance of the nations. 7 The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; 8 they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness. 9 He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name! 10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever! SILENT CONFESSION Let us continue to draw nearer to God by confessing, repenting and bearing of our hearts before our loving Heavenly Father. Be transparent and earnest, bringing the offering of broken and contrite heart before the Lord who knows us better than we know ourselves. He is more willing to forgive than we are to repent! (Silent Private Prayer) ASSURANCE OF PARDON In Christ, our sins are covered! Hear the good news of the forgiveness of your sins! Romans 8:35-37 “35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? 36 As it is written, “For your sake we are being killed all the day long; we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.” PRAYER OF ADORATION (Presider) CONFESSION OF FAITH (TRINITY HYMNAL) Wk.31 – Trinity Hymnal #403 – “Savior, Breathe an Evening Blessing" (Confess aloud altogether bold as a Believing Congregation) 1 Savior, breathe an evening blessing, ere repose our spirits seal; sin and want we come confessing: thou can'st save, and thou canst heal. 2 Though destruction walk around us, though the arrow past us fly, angel guards from thee surround us; we are safe if thou art nigh. 3 Though the night be dark and dreary, darkness cannot hide from thee; thou art he who, never weary, watchest where thy people be. 4 Should swift death this night o'ertake us, and our couch become our tomb, may the morn in heav'n awake us, clad in light and deathless bloom. *SONGS OF PRAISE <Children's Bible Story Time> OFFERING PRAYER & INTERCESSION (Josh K) To help you think about your level of giving, here is the financial snapshot of HCC for this month: Giving: 30th July - 5th August = $5,608.88 Total July Giving = $25,147.14 Sydney Space Balance: $195,024.60 Monthly Giving Target: $30,000.00 General Tithes & Offering VS Sydney Space Offering These are two separate HCC accounts (BSB: 082 057).
