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.

[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]
There is a name I love to hear
I love to sing its worth
It sounds like music in my ear
The sweetest name on earth
[Refrain]
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
[Verse 2]
It tells me of a Savior’s love
Who died to set me free
It tells me of His precious blood
The sinner’s perfect plea
[Refrain]
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
[Verse 3]
It tells me what my Father hath
In store for every day
And, tho’ I tread a dark-some path
Yields sunshine all the way
[Refrain]
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
[Verse 4]
It tells of One whose loving heart
Can feel my deepest woe
Who in each sorrow bears a part
That none can bear below
[Refrain]
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
O how I love Jesus
Because He first loved me
[End]
Because He first loved me
Because He first loved me

Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
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.

[Verse 1]
Marvelous message we bring
Glorious carol we sing
Wonderful word of the King
Jesus is coming again

Coming again, coming again
May be morning, may be noon
May be evening and may be soon
Coming again, coming again
O what a wonderful day it would be一
Jesus is coming again
[Verse 2]
Forest and flower exclaim
Mountain and meadow the same
All earth and heaven proclaim
Jesus is coming again
[Refrain]
Coming again, coming again
May be morning, may be noon
May be evening and may be soon
Coming again, coming again
O what a wonderful day it would be一
Jesus is coming again
[Verse 3]
Standing before Him at last
Trial and trouble all past
Crowns at His feet we will cast
Jesus is coming again
[Refrain]
Coming again, coming again
May be morning, may be noon
May be evening and may be soon
Coming again, coming again
O what a wonderful day it would be一
Jesus is coming again
Worship through Prayer
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.
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.
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.
