The Heidelberg Catechism - A Reformation Treasure of Scripture-Truth - Pastor Patrick Hines Podcast<br />
<br />
<br />
We subscribe to the Westminster Standards as our doctrinal statement. It consists of the following documents:<br />
<br />
<br />
The Westminster Confession of Faith<br />
The Westminster Larger Catechism<br />
The Westminster Shorter Catechism<br />
<br />
<br />
We also believe that Christian Worship is to be regulated and defined by God's Word, the Bible.<br />
<br />
<br />
Our worship services are designed to please and honor the Triune God of the Bible. We place Scripture reading and the preaching of the word of God at the center of worship along with Baptism and the Lord's Supper. These are God's gifts to His church and ought to always be at the center of Christian worship. <br />
<br />
<br />
We embrace and promote a comprehensive Christian world and life view.<br />
<br />
<br />
There is no area of life which is not under the Lordship of Jesus Christ. It is to God and His law which all people, including governments and civil rulers, will answer. The Word of God embraces and informs the way we view marriage, the family, children, education, politics, worship, law, government, war, the church, missions, evangelism, and worship. In the world today there is a battle of opposing worldviews. There are basically only two positions: God's Word and man's ideas. We stand positively for Biblical truth and negatively against man's ideas which are opposed to Biblical truth.<br />
<br />
<br />
The Gospel of Jesus Christ is the only hope for mankind.<br />
<br />
<br />
Because all men fall short of obeying God's law, all men everywhere are in need of divine grace and salvation from God. This salvation is found only in the Lord Jesus Christ who died for sinners, was buried, rose again, and is alive today seated at God the Father's right hand.<br />
<br />
<br />
We Worship God Together as Families.<br />
<br />
<br />
We offer nursery during the morning worship service for newborns and infants but encourage people to keep as many of their children as they can with them for morning worship. The audio of the service is in the nursery via speakers. <br />
<br />
<br />
All who profess faith in the Lord Jesus Christ and are members of an evangelical church are cordially invited to participate with us in the Lord's Supper.<br />
<br />
Psalm 88<br />
New King James Version<br />
<br />
1 O Lord, God of my salvation,<br />
I have cried out day and night before You.<br />
2 Let my prayer come before You;<br />
Incline Your ear to my cry.<br />
<br />
3 For my soul is full of troubles,<br />
And my life draws near to the grave.<br />
4 I am counted with those who go down to the pit;<br />
I am like a man who has no strength,<br />
5 Adrift among the dead,<br />
Like the slain who lie in the grave,<br />
Whom You remember no more,<br />
And who are cut off from Your hand.<br />
<br />
6 You have laid me in the lowest pit,<br />
In darkness, in the depths.<br />
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,<br />
And You have afflicted me with all Your waves. Selah<br />
8 You have put away my acquaintances far from me;<br />
You have made me an abomination to them;<br />
I am shut up, and I cannot get out;<br />
9 My eye wastes away because of affliction.<br />
<br />
Lord, I have called daily upon You;<br />
I have stretched out my hands to You.<br />
10 Will You work wonders for the dead?<br />
Shall the dead arise and praise You? Selah<br />
11 Shall Your lovingkindness be declared in the grave?<br />
Or Your faithfulness in the place of destruction?<br />
12 Shall Your wonders be known in the dark?<br />
And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?<br />
<br />
13 But to You I have cried out, O Lord,<br />
And in the morning my prayer comes before You.<br />
14 Lord, why do You cast off my soul?<br />
Why do You hide Your face from me?<br />
15 I have been afflicted and ready to die from my youth;<br />
I suffer Your terrors;<br />
I am distraught.<br />
16 Your fierce wrath has gone over me;<br />
Your terrors have cut me off.<br />
17 They came around me all day long like water;<br />
They engulfed me altogether.<br />
18 Loved one and friend You have put far from me,<br />
And my acquaintances into darkness.
