Call to Worship
Have someone read aloud:
Titus 2:6-8 (NKJV)
Likewise, exhort the young men to be sober-minded, in all things showing yourself to be a pattern of good works; in doctrine showing integrity, reverence, incorruptibility, sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you.
Prayer
O Lord, our God, how excellent is Your Name in all the earth. You alone are holy and exalted above all creation. Be magnified in the praises of Your people as we declare Your marvelous works. Silence Your enemies and let Your glory shine.

R-36 THE GREAT COMMISSION 最大使命
Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:46-48; Acts 1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things.
But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
Father, give me the courage to stand firm in Your truth when faced with spiritual opposition. Help me not to cower in fear of shame and rejection. When the pressure to give in becomes too hard to bear, enable me to uphold You till the end.
Lord, You are the Source of true wisdom. You give it to whomever You choose. Enable me to speak with wisdom whenever I need to especially when I feel intimidated by the intelligence of others that I don't know what to say even though I know their words contradict Your truth.
Father, please protect my mind, heart and emotions from people who tend to bring out the worst in me. Let me not be forced nor be manipulated to act sinfully. Help me to do what is right in Your sight in every conflict or opposition that I face.
