Order of Service, February 2, 2020

Introduction

The sermon text for this Lord’s Day introduces John the Baptist’s powerful ministry and message. The key word that summaries his message is “repent.”

The hymns selected for the service acknowledge our sinful state and express a penitential cry for mercy and forgiveness. The hymns at the beginning and end of the service rejoice in the work of Christ that guarantees cleansing and forgiveness to all who turn to him in repentant faith.
