“Secret worship, family worship, corporate worship... Like a three-legged stool, the life of a Christian should be comprised of these three spheres. They are all important and they all inform one another. When my secret worship is lacking or even non-existent, then my worship in the corporate community and family will be affected. When my attendance at corporate worship is sparse, when my secret worship and family worship will suffer as well.†Jacob Helopoulos
 “The head of the family in leading his family in covenant faithfulness to God (family worship) is perhaps the most significant way God uses as a means of saving grace.†Joel Beeke “Without some regularity and structure and purpose, it is one of those things that we assume we are doing but never actually do. Consistent, father-led family worship is one of the best, steadiest, and most easily measurable ways to bring up children in the Lord’s discipline and instruction.†Donald Whitney

Preacher: P. Jim Jung CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 63:1-8 1O God, you are my God; earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you; my flesh faints for you, as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 2So I have looked upon you in the sanctuary, beholding your power and glory. 3Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you. 4So I will bless you as long as I live; in your name I will lift up my hands. 5My soul will be satisfied as with fat and rich food, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips, 6when I remember you upon my bed, and meditate on you in the watches of the night; 7for you have been my help, and in the shadow of your wings I will sing for joy. M y soul clings to you; your right hand upholds me.
 SILENT CONFESSION Let us prepare our hearts by privately confessing our sins to our loving Heavenly Father. Be honest before God, and bear your heart and soul to Him. Thank Him and Praise Him for the good things; and confess those sins you knowingly and unknowingly commit, even the sin of omitting the good that you ought to have done. (Silent Private Prayer) ASSURANCE OF PARDON (In Christ, our sins are covered!) Hear the good news of the forgiveness of your sins! Romans 8:1-2; 2 Corinthians 5:17 “1There is... now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.2For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.†“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.†PRAYER OF ADORATION SONGS OF PRAISE 10,000 Reasons Crowns OFFERING Your Will Be Done To help you think about your level of giving, here is the financial snapshot of HCC for this month: Last week’s Giving: $1,242.00

Sunday Worship
10:30 AM Worship Service 
We'd love for you to join us for our weekly Sunday services. You can join us in person at Next Gen or online via our church Facebook Page.

Church Office
Suite 3.17, 32 Delhi Rd,
North Ryde NSW 2113 OFFERING Offering is part of our worship to God. The Bible gives us 
an enduring principle of tithing of our gross income as the baseline for the Christian’s worship through giving (2 Cor 9:7; Malachi 3:8-10). If every church member gave 10%, we would have enough financial resources for all the gospel ministry God is calling our church to do. Let the Spirit guide you in all final matters.
