"Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long." Psalm 25:5 "Scripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God." John Calvin "Satan loves to fish in the troubled waters of a discontented heart." Thomas Watson
Presider: Jason Ju
Preacher: Sijin Yang CALL TO WORSHIP Psalm 10: 12-18 12Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up your hand; forget not the afflicted. 13Why does the wicked renounce God and say in his heart, “You will not call to accountâ€? 14But you do see, for you note mischief and vexation, that you may take it into your hands; to you the helpless commits himself; you have been the helper of the fatherless. 15 Break the arm of the wicked and evildoer; call his wickedness to account till you find none. 16The Lord is king forever and ever; the nations perish from his land 17O Lord, you hear the desire of the afflicted; you will strengthen their heart; you will incline your ear to 18do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, so that man who is of the earth may strike terror no more 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! 1 John 1:8-9 8-9"If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.†PRAYER OF ADORATION AFFIRMATION OF FAITH The New City Catechism – Q&A #33 Q. Should those who have faith in Christ seek their salvation through their own works, or anywhere else?? A. No, they should not, as everything necessary to salvation is found in Christ. To seek salvation through good works is a denial that Christ is the only Redeemer and Savior. Galatians 2:16 Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. SONGS OF PRAISE Before The Throne (Hallelujah)

ANNOUNCEMENTS RESPONSIVE SONG By Faith BENEDICTION The Lord's Prayer "“Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen!†(From Matthew 6:9-13; plus doxological conclusion as per WSC, Q/A#107 – â€The conclusion of the Lord's Prayer, which is, For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen, teacheth us to take our encouragement in prayer from God only, and in our prayers to praise him, ascribing kingdom, power, and glory to him; and, in testimony of our desire, and assurance to be heard, we say, Amen.â€)

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.
