Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?
Prayer
Lord God Almighty, You are perfect and true. No trace nor shadow of falsehood can be found in You. You are trustworthy. We bow in love and worship of You. May the praises of our hearts be acceptable and delightful to You, O blessed triune God. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Worship through Songs
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-46 CALL TO CONSECRATION 蒙召奉獻
Colossians 3:1-4; 1 Peter 1:13-16; 2 Corinthians 5:14-15; Galatians 2:20 (NKJV)
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.
Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ; as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, because it is written, “Be holy, for I am holy.”
For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Worship through Prayer
Lord, keep me holy and true. Many have learned to deceive and manipulate others in order to get what they want and gain advantage over others. Help me not to practice any form of deception. Let me walk with godly integrity for Your glory.
Lord, I am not all-knowing but You are. I know there will be people who would deceive me. Protect me from such deceitful people. Help me continue to focus on obeying Your command to love people. Give me grace to sincerely love those around me unhindered by doubts and skepticism.
Father, I pray for wisdom to distinguish between what is true from what is false. Let me not be gullible and blindly follow people. Help me to constantly be guided by Your Word. Give me wisdom to verify information before I believe and pass them on. Please save me from being deceived. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
