Preparation for Worship

1 Timothy 1:17(LSB)

Now to the King of the ages,

immortal, invisible, the only God,

be honor and glory forever and ever.

Amen.

Welcome and Call to Worship

Psalm 104:1-4

(LSB)

Bless Yahweh, O my soul!

O Yahweh my God, You are very great;

You are clothed with splendor and majesty,

Wrapping Yourself with light as with a cloak,

Stretching out the heavens like a tent curtain.

He lays the beams of His upper chambers in the waters;

He sets up the clouds to be His chariot;

He walks upon the wings of the wind;

He makes His angels the winds,

His ministers flaming fire.

Hymn of Worship and Adoration

Hymn 224 of Trinity Psalter Hymnal

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Verses 1-3

Salutation and Response

In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!

Amen

Yahweh be with you!

And also with you!

Our help is in the Name of Yahweh

Who made heaven and earth!

The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit.

A broken and contrite heart, O God, You will not despise.

Prayer of Thanksgiving and Praise

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father Who art in heaven,

Hallowed be Thy Name.

Thy kingdom come.

Thy will be done,

On earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

[For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.]

Confession of Faith

Westminster Confession of Faith

Chapter 28, Paragraph 1

Of Baptism

Baptism is a sacrament of the New Testament, ordained by Jesus Christ, not only for the solemn admission of the party baptized into the visible church, but also to be unto him a sign and seal of the covenant of grace, of his ingrafting into Christ, of regeneration, of remission of sins, and of his giving up unto God, through Jesus Christ, to walk in newness of life: which sacrament is, by Christ’s own appointment, to be continued in His church until the end of the world.

Gloria Patri

Glory be to the Father

And to the Son

And to the Holy Ghost!

As it was in the beginning,

Is now and ever shall be:

World without end!

Amen, amen.

Corporate Confession of Sin

O my Savior, help me.
I am slow to learn, prone to forget, and weak to climb;
I am in the foothills when I should be on the heights;
I am pained by my graceless heart,
my prayerless days,
my poverty of love,
my sloth in the heavenly race,
my sullied conscience,
my wasted hours,
my unspent opportunities.
I am blind while the light shines around me:
take the scales from my eyes,
grind to dust my heart of unbelief.
Make it my highest joy to study you,
meditate on you,
gaze on you,
sit like Mary at your feet,
lean like John on your breast,
appeal like Peter to your love,
count like Paul all things but dung.
I believe, help my unbelief. Amen

Individual Confession of Sin

Take a moment for individual silent confession of sin.

Assurance of Pardon

Romans 5:6-10

(LSB)

For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man, though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

In Jesus Christ, our sins are forgiven.

Thanks be to God!

Hymn of Rejoicing

Hymn #423 of Trinity Psalter Hymnal

Far and Near the Fields Are Teeming

Verses 1-3

Passing of the Peace

Having made peace with the Father by His Son our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ through the powerful work of the Holy Spirit, we can have peace with one another.

May the peace of Christ be with you!

And also with you!

Let us offer one another a sign of peace.

(Greet one another by saying, "May the peace of Christ be with you," and responding, "And also with you!")

Scripture Reading

Isaiah 52:1-10

(LSB)

Awake, awake,

Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion;

Clothe yourself in your glorious garments,

O Jerusalem, the holy city;

For the uncircumcised and the unclean

Will no longer come into you.

Shake yourself from the dust, rise up,

O captive Jerusalem;

Loose yourself from the chains around your neck,

O captive daughter of Zion.

For thus says Yahweh, “You were sold for nothing, and you will be redeemed without money.” For thus says Lord Yahweh, “My people went down at the first into Egypt to sojourn there; then the Assyrian oppressed them without cause. So now, what do I have here,” declares Yahweh, “since My people have been taken away for nothing?” Yahweh declares, “Those who rule over them howl, and My name is continually blasphemed all day long. Therefore My people shall know My name; therefore in that day I am the one who is speaking, ‘Here I am.’

How lovely on the mountains

Are the feet of him who proclaims good news,

Who announces peace

And proclaims good news of good things,

Who announces salvation,

And says to Zion, “Your God reigns!”

The voice of Your watchmen! They lift up their voices;

They shout joyfully together;

For they will see with their own eyes

When Yahweh returns to Zion.

Break forth, shout joyfully together,

You waste places of Jerusalem;

For Yahweh has comforted His people;

He has redeemed Jerusalem.

Yahweh has bared His holy arm

In the sight of all the nations,

That all the ends of the earth may see

The salvation of our God.

Worship through Giving

Yahweh has generously given us both temporal and eternal life.

Let us joyfully give Him a small token of our gratitude as He leads.

Doxology

Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!

Praise Him all creatures here below!

Praise Him above, ye, heavenly host!

Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!

Jesus Sends; We Go!

What Sets Us Apart

Kirk of the Way Presbyterian Church is a small gathering of disciples whom God has sought, bought, and caught. Because God has extended His covenantal love to us, we are: overwhelmed with love for Him; enthralled with worshiping Him; delighted to love one another, our neighbors, and the nations; and are pleased to work in His strength to plant healthy, faithful churches that plant healthy, faithful churches.

We are Kansas City's first local congregation of the Vanguard Presbyterian Church. The Vanguard denomination was launched in 2020 for three primary reasons: 1) to be faithful to the full counsel of God as revealed in Scripture and summarized in the Westminster Standards; 2) to maintain church polity in submission to God; and 3) to grow and plant disciple-making churches through evangelism, Word, sacraments, and prayer in all lands because of the love from God through the grace that God supplies to the glory of God's justice and mercy.

Come and see Jesus!

Soli Deo Gloria!
