Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
James 4:13-17 (NKJV)
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that.” But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.
Prayer
You are the all-knowing God. We praise and worship You. Nothing is hidden from You. All things lay bare before You. Purify us that we may come before You aright to offer sacrifices of praise in honor of You. Blessed be Your Name forever and ever, for wisdom and might are Yours.

[Verse 1]
O Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r thro’out the universe displayed
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
[Verse 2]
When thro’ the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
[Verse 3]
And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
[Refrain]
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art! How great Thou art!

[Verse 1]
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
I have decided to follow Jesus
No turning back, no turning back
[Verse 2]
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
The world behind me, the cross before me
No turning back, no turning back
[Verse 3]
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow
Tho’ none go with me, still I will follow
No turning back, no turning back
No turning back, no turning back

[Verse 1]
O Church, arise, and put your armour on
Hear the call of Christ our Captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of Truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies
An army bold, whose battle-cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness
[Verse 2]
Our call to warーto love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor
When faced with trials on ev’ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations
[Chorus]
Arise, shine, for your Light has come
Arise, shine, for the risen Son
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise O Church, arise
[Verse 3]
Come see the cross, where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from the grave
This victory march continues ‘til the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him
[Verse 4]
So Spirit come, put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in Glory
[Chorus]
Arise, shine, for your Light has come
Arise, shine, for the risen Son
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise O Church, arise
[Chorus]
Arise, shine, for your Light has come
Arise, shine, for the risen Son
Lift your eyes, we are His radiant bride
Arise O Church, arise
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-43: VICTORIOUS ASSURANCE 得勝的保證
Romans 8:18, 28, 31-39 (NKJV)
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.
...If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Sermon
Song of Response
TEXT: Annie Johnson Flint | MUSIC: Alfred B. Smith
[Verse 1]
God hath not promised skies always blue
Flower strewn pathways all our lives thro’
God hath not promised sun without rain
Joy without sorrow, peace without pain
[Chorus]
But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the labor, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing kindness, undying love
[Verse 2]
God hath not promised we shall not know
Toil and temptations, trouble and woe
He hath not told us we shall not bear
Many a burden, many a care
[Chorus]
But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the labor, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing kindness, undying love
[Verse 3]
God hath not promised smooth roads
and wide
Swift, easy travel, needing no guide
Never a mountain, rocky and steep
Never a river, turbid and deep
[Chorus]
But God hath promised strength for the day
Rest for the labor, light for the way
Grace for the trials, help from above
Unfailing kindness, undying love
Worship through Prayer
Uncertainties in life often make me anxious. I wish I knew everything and can be in total control of my life, but that is not so. Help me accept that I will always be limited in knowledge and abilities. Teach me to rely more fully on You, who alone is all-knowing and all-powerful.
Lord, increase my faith in You. Help me to overcome my doubts. When I come to a point in life where I could no longer understand what's going on and what You're doing, enable me to trust in knowing that You are good and sovereignly in control. Help me to be assured that You are the God who cares for me.
Lord, I'm afraid to be weak and vulnerable. Yet, these are inevitable human conditions. When times of weakness come, let me remember that Your grace is sufficient and that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. That it's okay to be weak because You will be there for me and You will surely carry me through. Thank You for Your Word.
