Call to Worship: Ps. 149:1-4

Praise to the Lord! Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the godly!
Let Israel be glad in his Maker; let the children of Zion rejoice in their King!
Let them praise his name with dancing, making melody to him with the tambourine and lyre!
For the Lord takes pleasure in his people; he adorns the humble with salvation.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow; praise him, all creatures here below; alleluia, alleluia!

Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into ­­heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God, the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

Question 31: What is effectual calling?

Answer: Effectual calling is the work of God’s Spirit, whereby convincing us of our sin and misery, enlightening our minds in the knowledge of Christ, and renewing our wills, he does persuade and enable us to embrace Jesus Christ, freely offered to us in the gospel.

1 The word of the Lord that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel: 2 Here this, you elders; give ear, all inhabitants of the land!

What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust has left, the destroying locust has eaten.
