Call to Worship
We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits. We know the Eternal One is still on the throne. Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One. Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely. Praise Him! Praise Him! Praise Him!

Catechism – a set form of questions and answers to teach the tenets of the Christian Faith:
Question: What sort of Redeemer is needed to bring us back to God?
Answer: One who is truly human and also truly God.
Question: Why must the Redeemer be truly human?
Answer: That in human nature He might on our behalf perfectly obey the whole law and suffer the punishment for human sin; and also that He might sympathize with our weaknesses.
Question: Why must the Redeemer by truly God?
Answer: That because of His divine nature His obedience and suffering would be perfect and effective; and also that He would be able to bear the righteous anger of God against sin and yet overcome death.
