*Prayer of Invocation

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.

Word of God: Proverbs 24:10-19

Pastoral Prayer

The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds;
God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God;
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made.

Who, for us men and for our salvation, came down from heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; he suffered and was buried; and the third day he rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of the Father; and he shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceeds from the Father and the Son;
who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spoke by the prophets.
And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

*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 and. Amen, amen.

*Hymn of Supplication: "Speak, O Lord"     #172

Tithes and Offerings

*Doxology:

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow;

praise him, all creatures here below;

praise him above, ye heave'nly host;

praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen." 

Word of God: 2 Peter 1:1-21

WELCOME TO GRACE OPC! 

On behalf of the session of Grace OPC, I want to extend our warmest greetings to you.  It is my hope and prayer that as we gather together this Lord’s Day to worship our Triune God and Redeemer, you will be encouraged to cast your cares upon the Lord and to draw near to God by faith in His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. If you are new here in Fair Lawn, please join us for fellowship following the benediction, and be sure to sign our guestbook.  We look forward to personally speaking with you, and if there are any prayer concerns in your heart, don’t hesitate to bring them to our attention.   

                                                             Pastor John Keegan 

Sermon Summery

This Lord’s Day we welcome back to the pulpit Ruling Elder Kevin Vasquez, member of Grace OPC and designated Church Planter for the Committee on Home Missions of the PNJPR. This morning in 2 Peter 1, we will recall that living in the light of eternity
means abiding in the truth of the apostolic witness.

This evening in 2 Peter 2, we will learn how God is destroying deception, that we may effectively live in the light of eternity.

Announcement

Nursery Note from the Session:

Due to a limited pool of nursery workers, at this time, the Nursery will be “Unstaffed” on our Serving Schedule. To aid our young families, the Cloak Room will be temporarily “repurposed” as a Baby Break Room for our parents to have a ‘way station’ before returning with their children to worship and/or utilizing the Nursery in the Fellowship Hall.

In due time, the Lord will add to His Church many families with young children and correspondingly, [the Lord] will provide a rotation of laborers to serve in the Nursery (Matthew 9:37-38).

Crossroads Addictions Ministry: Thurs., from 7:30-9:00 PM in Leo Baratta's home.

September 7 to September 21, Keegans on Vacation.

Pastor John & HaeSung will be on vacation from Monday, September 7 to Monday September 21.
Ruling Elder Kevin Vasquez, member of Grace OPC and designated Church Planter for the Committee on Home Missions of the PNJPR, will be filling the pulpit on the Lord’s Day, September 13 and 20. Please contact the Session of Grace OPC with all spiritual and diaconal needs.
