O Holy God, You are worthy of all worship and praise. Perfect in power and righteousness. Excellent in wisdom and glory. Gracious in mercy and lovingkindness. Be exalted in the praises of Your people. Be magnified among all the nations. Amen.

Worthy of worship, worthy of praise

Lyrics - No One Ever Cared for Me like Jesus
TEXT & MUSIC: Charles F. Weigle
[Verse 1]
I would love to tell you what I think of Jesus
Since I found in Him a friend so strong and true
I would tell you how He changed my life completely
He did something that no other friend could do
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
There’s no other friend so kind as He
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me
O how much He cared for me
[Verse 2]
All my life was full of sin when Jesus found me
All my heart was full of misery and woe
Jesus placed His strong and loving arms around me
And He led me in the way I ought to go
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
There’s no other friend so kind as He
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me
O how much He cared for me
[Verse 3]
Every day He comes to me with new assurance
More and more I understand His words of love
But I’ll never know just why He came to save me
Till someday I see His blessed face above
No one ever cared for me like Jesus
There’s no other friend so kind as He
No one else could take the sin and darkness from me
O how much He cared for me

Lyrics - Lifted High
WORDS & MUSIC: Andy Needham

[Verse 1]
Majesty and glory that words fail to describe
Expanses of the heavens that never met an eye
Wonder fills this worshiper with unreserved delight
May Your Name be lifted high
[Verse 2]
Who is there like You, O Lord, worthy of all praise
Who was there before You, Lord, Ancient of all Days
Wonder fills this worshiper and all that I can say
May Your Name be lifted high
May the matchless grace of Jesus
Be the anthem of our lives
May the power of His presence
Mark our hearts with holy fire
May we imitate His holiness
That all may see the light
May Your Name be lifted high
[Verse 3]
Radiance and splendor that fill the morning sky
Intricate creations that baffle fragile minds
Wonder fills this worshiper, my joyful spirit cries
May Your Name be lifted high
May the matchless grace of Jesus
Be the anthem of our lives
May the power of His presence
Mark our hearts with holy fire
May we imitate His holiness
That all may see the light
May Your Name be lifted high
[Bridge]
Lifted high
Lifted high
Lifted high
Lifted high
May the matchless grace of Jesus
Be the anthem of our lives
May the power of His presence
Mark our hearts with holy fire
May we imitate His holiness
That all may see the light
May Your Name be lifted high
May the matchless grace of Jesus
Be the anthem of our lives
May the power of His presence
Mark our hearts with holy fire
May we imitate His holiness
That all may see the light
May Your Name be lifted high
May Your Name be lifted high
May Your Name be lifted high
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-16: THE SPIRIT OUR HELPER (聖靈是阮的幫助)
Galatians 5:16, 22-25; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27 (NKJV)
I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba,Father.” The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

Lyrics - Let the Beauty of Jesus
TEXT: Albert Orsborn
MUSIC: Rev. Tom Jones
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
All His wonderful passion and purity
O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
Let the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
All His wonderful passion and purity
O Thou Spirit divine, all my nature refine
Till the beauty of Jesus be seen in me
Worship through Prayer
Lord, I need Your constant help. My daily struggle against sin and temptation reminds me of my fallen nature. I am unable to overcome evil on my own in this life. I need Your Holy Spirit.
Lord, fill me with Your Spirit. Let my life be marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Let the desires of my heart be holy and pleasing to You.
Lord, help my heart to no longer be entrapped by the pleasures of this world. My desire to enjoy life had often led me to foolish indulgence. My spiritual senses have become dull and passive. I no longer desire You. Save me from this unholy stupor and idolatry.
Self-Reflection & Discussion
How do you define freedom?
What makes it difficult for you to live out the freedom you have in Jesus Christ?
Is the fruit of the Spirit growing in your life? If yes, how are you nurturing it? If no, what can you do to cultivate it?
