It is God that multiplies our sorrows.... God, as a righteous Judge, does it, which ought to silence us under all our sorrows; as many as they are, we have deserved them all, and more: nay, God, as a tender Father, does it for our necessary correction, that we may be humbled for sin, and weaned from the world by all our sorrows; and the good we get by them, with the comfort we have under them, will abundantly balance our sorrows, how greatly soever they are multiplied. - Matthew Henry

Josh,

Aren't the 10 commandments supposed to be after the Confession of Sin?

Or are you a Lutheran?

No, I'm not Lutheran (). I'm a Reformed Presbyterian. As for "supposed to" where might one gather that prescription? I believe in all three uses of the Law, one of which is the Third Use, that shows me the duties required of me toward and by God. It is then how much I realize I haven't upheld those duties, and brought to a Confession of Sin (guided by the Pastor's prayer), followed by the Lord's Proclamation of Forgiveness (via the Pastor, again).

I was just noting the difference between Luther and Calvin's liturgy. That is the main one. Where the 10 Commandments are placed, Calvin's is after the Confession of sin, Luther's is before.

I'm OPC and we do our Law before our confession which only makes sense. "If you don't know the law", then how can you confess. Not that we don't know the law, but it's suppose to show order.

Those who are worshipping are Christians, who ought to know the law, Calvin's view was to confess sins, then be reminded what you have been commanded to do so you can go and follow (in Christ of Course).

I think the majority of churches follow what Josh has laid out. I just wanted to mention what Calvin did.


Also, I guess if you wanted to talk about order, then should the law come after the confession of sins?

The 10 Commandments were given in Exodus 20 after grace (after Israel was brought out of Egypt) --> see Exodus 19 - 20:1.

But no one's pitting Law against Grace as the Lutherans are wont to do, and I don't think I said should anywhere in my post. And the Ten Commandments were only put on tablets of stone in Exodus 20, but were enforced as law since Creation. Ah, but Pastor, you already know that.

I do, just making a point.

Follow Calvin!!! Not Luther!!!

Don't know what Calvin was thinking...would have to read his logic on the matter. We as Christians also know the Gospel but we go to hear it every Sunday again and again just like we need to hear the law again and again. Just because we know it doesn't mean we don't need to hear it over and over again. So without reading Calvin's logic on the matter, his logic doesn't make any sense... (Christians already know the law so they should repent first and then I will tell them the law for them to go carry out) the problem I see with this type of thinking is that it has left it in the hands of mankind to do sanctification. If we tell mankind the law and show mankind how they have failed and then require confession/repentance and then give them the Gospel, all is left in God's hands to work out sanctification. I don't think Scripture tells us to repent and then tells us what we are repenting of. Instead, it tells us God's law then tells us to repent and rely on Christ. My pastor shows us the law and how we have failed, we admit to our failings by repenting, and then he shows us the Gospels which saved us and forgives us of our sins.

Better yet, follow Scripture and the Light of Nature, and according to the RPW. Since our Order of Worship violates none of the three (IMHO), I think we're okay.

HA, you have won.

John Calvin, Commentary on the Hebrews (7:25)

Let me see IIRC, we go in sit down then we sing some songs, have announcements, sing more, offering, sing once more, preaching and one last song to round it off and then we go. I am amazed at the high liturgy some have, hopefully I don't make anyone mad when I say some of the order reminds me of my former "church"

All of our bulletins (including morning and evening liturgies can be read here). Here is the liturgy for May 31, 2009:

The Morning Liturgy

Entering God’s Presence

Matthew 28:19
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen!

CALL TO WORSHIP

PRAYER OF INVOCATION
Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid: cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

GOD’S GREETING—Revelation 1:4–5

SONG OF THE MONTH—PSALM 122—With Joy and Gladness in My Soul (Psalter Hymnal 263)

READING OF THE LAW—Exodus 20:1–17 (New King James Version)
And God spoke all these words, saying, I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself a carved image—any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the LORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.
If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:8

CONFESSION OF SIN
Dearly loved brothers and sisters, we are called to examine ourselves in the light of God's Law. Let us go to God in confession:
Our Father, we are sinful and you are holy. We recognize that we have heard in your Law difficult words, knowing how often we have offended you in thought, word and deed, not only by obvious violations, but by failing to conform to its perfect commands, by what we have done and by what we have left undone. There is nothing in us that gives us reason for hope, for where we thought we were well, we are sick in soul. Where we thought we were holy, we are in truth unholy and ungrateful. Our hearts are filled with the love of the world; our minds are dark and are assailed by doubts; our wills are too often given to selfishness and our bodies to laziness and unrighteousness. By sinning against our neighbors, we have also sinned against you, in whose image they were created. In this time of confession we bring you our particular sins.
Our Father, although you are a holy God who cannot look upon sin, look upon Christ our Savior and forgive us for his sake. You have promised us that if we confess our sins, you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. For if we do sin, we have an Advocate before your throne, Jesus Christ the Righteous, and he is the propitiation for our sins. Give us your pardon by your mercies, dear Father, for you have clothed us in Christ’s righteousness. We ask also that you would give us an increase of the grace of your Holy Spirit, so that we may learn the wisdom of your ways and walk in your holy paths, for your glory and the good of our neighbor. Amen.

PSALM 51:10–12—Create in Me a Clean Heart (sung a cappella)
Create in me a clean heart, O God. And renew a right spirit within me. (2x)
Cast me not away from your presence, O LORD. And take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of your salvation. And renew a right spirit within me.

*DECLARATION OF FORGIVENESS

The Word of God

¶ Then is said responsively:
O LORD, open my lips.
And my mouth shall show forth your praise! Psalm 51:15
Praise the LORD.
The LORD’s name be praised! Psalm 135:1

*PSALM 145—O Lord, Thou Art My God and King (Psalter Hymnal 299:1–5)

*APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only begotten Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, 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 sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from there He shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit; a holy catholic Church, the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. Amen.

MORNING PRAYER concluding with 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.

OFFERING

SCRIPTURE READING—Exodus 24:1–18 (English Standard Version)

SERMON—The Old Covenant

The Lord’s Supper

*PSALM 35—What Shall I Render to the Lord (Psalter Hymnal 230)

PREPARATION FOR THE LORD’S SUPPER
To all of you who have confessed your sins and affirmed your faith in Christ, the promise of Jesus is sure: “Whoever eats my body and drinks my blood has eternal life and will not come into condemnation.” For on the night in which our Lord was betrayed, he took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, “Take eat; this is my body, which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of me.” After the same manner also he took the cup, saying, “this cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” While remaining bread and wine, these sacred elements nevertheless become so united to the reality they signify that we do not doubt but joyfully believe that we receive in this meal nothing less than the crucified body and shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. For all who live in rebellion against God and unbelief, this holy food and drink will bring you only further condemnation. If you do not yet confess Jesus Christ and seek to live under his gracious reign, we ask you to abstain. But all who repent and believe are invited to this sacred meal not because you are worthy in yourself, but because you are clothed in Christ’s perfect righteousness. Do not allow the weakness of your faith or your failures in the Christian life to keep you from this table. For it is given to us because of our weakness and because of our failures, in order to increase our faith by feeding us with the body and blood of Jesus Christ. As the Word has promised us God’s favor, so also our Heavenly Father has added this confirmation of his unchangeable promise. So come, believing sinners, for the table is ready. “Taste and see that the Lord is good.”

PRAYER OF CONSECRATION
Let us pray: Almighty and everlasting God, who by the blood of your only begotten Son has secured for us a new and living way into the Holy of Holies, cleanse our minds and hearts by your Word and Spirit that we, your redeemed people, drawing close to you through this holy sacrament, may enjoy fellowship with the Holy Trinity through the body and blood of Christ our Savior. We know that our Ascended Savior does not live in temples made by hands, but is in heaven where he continues to intercede on our behalf. Through this sacrament, by Your own Word and Spirit, may these common elements be now set apart from ordinary use and through them may we be nourished with the body and blood of Christ.
Amen.

SURSUM CORDA
Let us now go to our Heavenly Table and receive the gift of God for our souls. By the promise of God this bread and wine are for us the body and blood of Christ. Lift up your hearts!
We lift them up to the Lord!

¶ Please come forward to receive from the hand of the minister the bread and wine (the center ring contains grape juice).
¶ We encourage your children to accompany you forward as a way of teaching them the importance of this sacrament.
¶ Please return to your seat and we will partake together as a one body.

THANKSGIVING PRAYER
Our Gracious Heavenly Father, we thank you for the blessing of this holy feast. Although we are unworthy to share this meal with you, it is by your invitation and dressed in Christ's righteousness that we have come boldly into the Holy of Holies. Instead of wrath, we have received your pardon; in the place of fear we have been given hope. Our High Priest and Mediator of the New Covenant has reconciled us to you and even now intercedes for us at your right hand. Please strengthen us by these gifts so that, relying only on your promise to save sinners who call on Jesus’ name, we may, by your Spirit, honor you with our souls and bodies, to the honor and glory of your holy name.
Amen.

*PSALM 23—The Lord’s My Shepherd (Psalter Hymnal 38)—sung a cappella, to the tune “Crimond”

Sending Into the World

*BENEDICTION—Numbers 6:24–26

*THE PASSING OF PEACE—Philippians 4:21

The current order of worship I inherited:

GOD CALLS US TO WORSHIP
* Call to worship
* Opening Prayer
WE OFFER OUR PRAISE
* Hymn/Psalm
Responsive Reading
* Hymn/Psalm
GOD PROCLAIMS HIS WORD
Sermon Text
Sermon
WE RESPOND WITH PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING
* Hymn/Psalm
Congregational Prayer
Offering
* Hymn/Psalm
GOD SENDS US OUT TO SERVE
* Benediction
* Closing Hymn/Psalm

I'll be tweaking it gradually. I'd like to add a Confession of Sin/Assurance of Pardon, reading of the Law, and replace the Responsive Reading with a systematic Scripture Reading.

I like having the pastoral prayer after the sermon, also a Calvin contribution. I appreciate praying the application of the sermon in the pastoral prayer.
