Call for the Offering

Choral Anthem Come Flood This Heart of Mine Lantz III Justine Campagna, violin; Joe Campagna, bass

Come flood this heart of mine with Your great love divine. Come, Spirit, make Your home, my heart is Yours alone. Come flood this heart of mine with Your great love divine.

Come flood this heart of mine with Your pure joy divine. My every sin forgive as one with You I live, Come flood this heart of mine with Your pure joy divine.

Come fill my heart, I am longing for Your power. Your presence and peace will be mine this very hour. Come fill my heart with Your Spirit in this place. Let my heart overflow with the fullness of Your grace. Make of this heart of mine a vessel wholly Thine. Drive dark and doubt away, O fill me, Lord, I pray.

Come flood this heart of mine with Your true light divine.

Scripture Reading Isaiah 3:16-4:6

Sermon Pastor Devlin The Increase of His Kingdom

Kingdom Beauty

Unison Confession of Faith WCF 34: 1, 3

The Holy Spirit, the third person in the Trinity, proceeding from the Father and the Son, of the same substance and equal in power and glory, is, together with the Father and the Son, to be believed in, loved, obeyed, and worshiped throughout all ages.

The Holy Spirit, whom the Father is ever willing to give to all who ask Him, is the only efficient agent in the application of redemption. He regenerates men by His grace, convicts them of sin, moves them to repentance, and persuades and enables them to embrace Jesus Christ by faith. He unites all believers to Christ, dwells in them as their comforter and sanctifier, gives to them the spirit of adoption and prayer, and performs all these gracious offices by which they are sanctified and sealed unto the day of redemption.

Opening Hymn No. 116 vv. 1-3 For the Beauty of the Earth

Prayer of Invocation Call to Worship From Joel 2

Leader: “Yet even now,” declares the LORD, “return to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and He relents over disaster.

People: Who knows whether He will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him, a grain offering and a drink offering for the LORD your God?

Leader: Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people. Consecrate the congregation; assemble the elders; gather the children, even nursing infants. Let the bridegroom leave his room, and the bride her chamber.

People: Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things! Fear not, you beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit; the fig tree and vine give their full yield.
