Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Ephesians 6:12-13 (NKJV)
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Prayer
Lord God Almighty, we sing alleluia to You, our mighty Savior, Protector and Defender. You alone deserve all worship and honor. No evil can prevail. Hence, we, Your children, are safe always and forevermore. Evil may rage mad all around, but Your goodness and righteousness will surely prevail over all the earth. Glory to You. We shout alleluia jubilantly to You and You alone.
Worship through Songs

[Verse 1]
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace
[Verse 2]
My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread thro’ all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name
[Verse 3]
Jesus! the name that charms our fears
That bids our sorrows cease
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears
‘Tis life and health and peace
[Verse 4]
He breaks the pow’r of cancelled sin
He sets the prisoner free
His blood can make the foulest clean
His blood availed for me
[Verse 5]
To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever giv’n
By saints below and saints above
The Church in earth and heaven
By saints below and saints above
The Church in earth and heaven

[Verse 1]
Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me
Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me
Spirit of the living God, fall fresh on me
[Verse 2]
Soul of heaven, heart of God, wash over me
Soul of heaven, heart of God, wash over me
Cleanse me, teach me, hold me, reach me
Soul of heaven, heart of God, wash over me
[Verse 3]
Holy presence, love divine, cast out my fear
Holy presence, love divine, cast out my fear
Shield me, free me, call me, lead me
Holy presence, love divine, cast out my fear

[Verse 1]
Ev’ryday they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where
On they go through private pain
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides the silent cries
Only Jesus hears
[Chorus]
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He’s the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize
That people need the Lord
[Verse 2]
We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost
For sharing life with one who’s lost
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear
They must hear the words of life
Only we can share
[Chorus]
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He’s the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will we realize
That people need the Lord

R-4 GOD’S MERCY 上帝的憐憫
Psalm 136:1-12, 23-26 (NKJV)
Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of gods!
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords!
For His mercy endures forever:
To Him who alone does great wonders,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who by wisdom made the heavens,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who laid out the earth above the waters,
For His mercy endures forever;
To Him who made great lights,
For His mercy endures forever—
The sun to rule by day,
For His mercy endures forever;
The moon and stars to rule by night,
For His mercy endures forever.
To Him who struck Egypt in their firstborn,
For His mercy endures forever;
And brought out Israel from among them,
For His mercy endures forever;
With a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm,
For His mercy endures forever;
Who remembered us in our lowly state,
For His mercy endures forever;
And rescued us from our enemies,
For His mercy endures forever;
Who gives food to all flesh,
For His mercy endures forever.
Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven!
For His mercy endures forever.
Sermon
Song of Response
TEXT: John Newton | MUSIC: Walker’s Southern Harmony
[Verse 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind, but now I see
[Verse 2]
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
[Verse 3]
Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home
[Verse 4]
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
[Verse 5]
And when this flesh and heart shall fail
And mortal life shall cease
I shall possess within the veil
A life of joy and peace
[Verse 6]
When we’ve been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we first begin
Worship through Prayer
Lord, please protect my heart and mind from deceitful thoughts that often lead to wrong perceptions and presumptions about people and circumstances in my life. Let me choose to uphold Your love, truth and peace at all times.
Bless me to be a godly peacemaker that people may know that I am Your child. Fill me with holy constraint and loving patience toward those that make me mad. Let me not quarrel or fight with people if by doing so I bring shame to Your Name.
Give me wisdom and love for my enemies in order to reach out to them. Help me endeavor to communicate humbly with the goal of true reconciliation in mind. Help me to listen carefully and desire to understand the other side of the story. Lord, You know all things. Give me peace and patience to wait on You to make things right. Keep me holy in Jesus' Name, Amen.
