We at Redeemer Church seek to order our worship according to the commands of God and to offer Biblical worship as we pray, sing, and preach the Word of God during our services each week. The Regulative Principle, which we seek to follow, means that our conscience is bound by the Word of God to worship him as he commands us in his Word. Pastor Vance offers a fuller explanation of this principle in this helpful sermon. Here is a sample bulletin which will give you an idea of what to expect during our worship service.

We
bless You, God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for having
blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in
Christ, just as You chose us in Him before the foundation of the
world that we should be holy and without blame before You in love,
having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to
Yourself, according to the good pleasure of Your will, to the
praise of the glory of Your grace, by which You made us accepted
in Your Beloved.
In
Him we have redemption through His blood. Forgive us our
sins, therefore, according to the riches of Your grace, which You
made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence. You
have made known to us the mystery of Your will, according to Your
good pleasure which You purposed in Yourself, that in the
dispensation of the fullness of the times You might gather
together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and
which are on earth—in Him.
In Him also we
have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to Your
purpose, as You work all things according to the counsel of Your
will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise
of Your glory.
In Him we also trusted, after we heard the word
of truth, the gospel of our salvation; in whom also, having
believed, we were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is
the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the
purchased possession to the praise of Your glory. Amen!

Now
the Lord
descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed
the name of the LORD. 6
And the Lord
passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord,
the Lord
God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in
goodness and truth, 7
keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression
and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of
the fathers upon the children and the children's children to the
third and the fourth generation.”

Moses made haste and bowed his head toward the earth, and

Announcements

-
You’re
invited to join us here for our regular first-Sunday lunch
immediately following morning worship.
-
The
Lord’s Supper was given by Jesus Christ to his body, the
church, to be a special means of grace and blessing. We ask
therefore that only those who have made a public profession of
faith in Christ and are members in good standing of a
Bible-believing church eat and drink with us. And we warmly
invite you to come to the Lord’s Table.
-
Please leave
the last few rows of seats for those with young children.
