Welcome! to Self-Guided
Worship from Grace Community Church in Kyle of Lochalsh (International
Presbyterian Church.) “Self-Guided” means you, and any family members who are
with you, will read the scriptures and form and pray the prayers. Click
on the links for the hymns, both the music and words will be there. Click
on the YouTube link for the sermon. This is our first week at this; we
hope to make it better each week as we worship apart from each other during
this global virus crisis. Remember, CHURCH is the people.
To begin, let’s quiet our hearts with a Getty hymn that
speaks to us especially today.
Call to Worship: From
Psalm 92:1-5
It is good to give thanks to the LORD, to sing
praises to your name, O Most High; to declare your steadfast love in the
morning, and your faithfulness by night, to the music of the lute and the harp,
to the melody of the lyre. For you, O LORD, have made me glad by your work; at
the works of your hands I sing for joy. How great are your works, O LORD! Your
thoughts are very deep!
Give Glory to
God the Trinity
Thank God that we can come into his presences because of the shed blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, the Great High Priest Give thanks that we can join the global church before the throne of Grace

Confession of Sin: From
Psalm 85:1-7
LORD, you were favorable to your land; you
restored the fortunes of Jacob. You forgave the iniquity of your people; you
covered all their sin. Selah You withdrew all your wrath; you turned from your
hot anger. Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your
indignation toward us! Will you be angry with us forever? Will you prolong your
anger to all generations? Will you not revive us again, that your people may
rejoice in you? Show us your steadfast love, O LORD, and grant us your
salvation.
Prayers of Repentance
Assurance of Pardon:
Galatians 3: 7-9
7 Know then that it is those of faith who are
the sons of Abraham. 8 And the Scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the
Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand to Abraham, saying, “In you
shall all the nations be blessed.” 9 So then, those who are of faith are
blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.
Hymn: “How deep the Father's
love for us,” (Tune by Stuart Townend) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzQj7XvKFmA
Sermon Scripture:
Hebrews 10:19-25
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have
confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20 by the new and
living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his
flesh, 21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22 let us
draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts
sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who
promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how to stir up one another to love
and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some,
but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.
