Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
1 Chronicles 28:9 (NKJV)
"As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the LORD searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.
Prayer
Lord God Almighty, the Beginning and the End, You know all things. Everything is working together for good to fulfill Your ultimate purpose. Praise be to You, our promise-keeping God. You are bringing about justice and righteousness. You will make all things new and the curse of sin and death will be no more. We rejoice even today while we wait on You. You are our God and to You alone we give our loyal love. In Christ Jesus, Amen.
Worship through Songs
Lyrics - All Hail the Power
TEXT: Edward Perronet | MUSIC: Oliver Holden
[Verse 1]
All hail the pow’r of Jesus' name
Let angels prostrate fall
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all
[Verse 2]
Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race
Ye ransomed from the fall
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all
Hail Him who saves you by His grace
And crown Him Lord of all
[Verse 3]
Let every kindred, every tribe
On this terrestrial ball
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all
To Him all majesty ascribe
And crown Him Lord of all
[Verse 4]
O that with yonder sacred throng
We at His feet may fall
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all
We'll join the everlasting song
And crown Him Lord of all
Lyrics - There Shall Be Showers of Blessing
TEXT: Daniel W. Whittle | MUSIC: James McGranahan
[Verse 1]
There shall be showers of blessing
This is the promise of love
There shall be seasons refreshing
Sent from the Savior above
[Refrain]
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead
[Verse 2]
There shall be showers of blessing
Precious reviving again
Over the hills and the valleys
Sound of abundance of rain
[Refrain]
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead
[Vese 3]
There shall be showers of blessing
Send them upon us, O Lord
Grant to us now a refreshing
Come and now honor Your Word
[Refrain]
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead
[Verse 4]
There shall be showers of blessing
O that today they might fall
Now as to God we’re confessing
Now as on Jesus we call
[Refrain]
Showers of blessing
Showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling
But for the showers we plead

Lyrics - In Christ Alone

[Verse 1]
In Christ alone will I glory
Though I could pride myself in battles won
For I’ve been blessed beyond measure
And by His strength alone, I overcome
Oh, I could stop and count successes
Like diamonds in my hand
But those trophies could not equal
To the grace by which I stand
[Chorus]
In Christ alone, I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In ev’ry victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope
Is Christ alone
[Verse 2]
In Christ alone will I glory
For only by His grace I am redeemed
Only His tender mercy
Could reach beyond my weakness to my need
Now, I seek no greater honor
Than just to know Him more
And to count my gains as losses
To the glory of my Lord
[Chorus]
In Christ alone, I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope
[Chorus]
In Christ alone, I place my trust
And find my glory in the power of the cross
In every victory, let it be said of me
My source of strength, my source of hope
Is Christ alone
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-15 THE HOLY SPIRIT 聖靈
John 14:16-18, 26; 16:7-14 (NKJV)
And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you. And when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.

Lyrics - Wonderful Grace of Jesus
TEXT & MUSIC: Haldor Lillenas
© Words: 1918 Renewal 1946 Hope Publishing Company. Used by permission. CCLI License #1644512
[Verse 1]
Wonderful grace of Jesus
Greater than all my sin
How shall my tongue describe it
Where shall its praise begin
Taking away my burden
Setting my spirit free
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaches me
[Refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me
For even me
Broader than the scope of my transgressions
Greater far than all my sin and shame
O magnify the precious name of Jesus
Praise His name
[Verse 2]
Wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaching to all the lost
By it I have been pardoned
Saved to the uttermost
Chains have been torn asunder
Giving me liberty
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaches me
[Refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me
For even me
Broader than the scope of my transgressions
Greater far than all my sin and shame
O magnify the precious name of Jesus
Praise His name
[Vese 3]
Wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaching the most defiled
By its transforming power
Making him God’s dear child
Purchasing peace and heaven
For all eternity
For the wonderful grace of Jesus
Reaches me
[Refrain]
Wonderful the matchless grace of Jesus
Deeper than the mighty rolling sea
Wonderful grace, all sufficient for me
For even me
Broader than the scope of my transgressions
Greater far than all my sin and shame
O magnify the precious name of Jesus
Praise His name
Worship through Prayer
Each person has to make his own decision on what to do with the Son of God, Jesus Christ. I know my own faith cannot save my loved ones. So, I pray for Your mercy and grace upon them that they too may believe by faith that Jesus alone can save them from the wrath of God and give them everlasting life.
Many Christians have taken for granted the fullness of their salvation in Christ. They have accepted the gift of eternal life only to escape eternal damnation. Lord, help us realize the great blessing we have in Christ both for this life now and for eternity.
Lord, help me learn to trust You more and live my life according to Your Word. Help me experience the joy of living for You in this world. Let me delight in living a blessed life with You each day and in every season of life. Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
