Order of Service

Call to Worship

Have someone read aloud:

1 Peter 5:8-11 (NKJV)

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer

God of all mercy and grace, we praise You for blessing our lives and guiding us through another week. Thank You for protecting us from the evil one and keeping us in Your love. Once again, we come to worship and adore You, O God, our blessed hope. Be glorified. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

R-68 THE RAPTURE 被提

1 Corinthians 15:51-52; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17; 1 Corinthians 15:58


Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.


But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.


For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.


Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

Worship through Prayer

  1. Father, give me spiritual wisdom to discern what is good and evil. Please protect and guide me for the enemy of my soul is a cunning deceiver. Help me to remain steadfast in faith and in Your truth. Let me not be deceived into following wicked people who disguise themselves to be good.

  2. Lord, may my heart follow faithfully after You. Help me not to be fascinated by any extraordinary things that I hear or see. Give me wisdom to test every spirit according to Your Word and not chase after phenomenal and popular people who only give false hopes.

  3. O God, help me not to love anything in this world. My heart belongs to You. Thank You for the enjoyment of good things. Help me not to turn them into idols that could lure me away from You and cause me to fall into destruction. Let me value Your eternal blessings and rewards more than any temporal benefits. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
