Eternal God, You alone are the all-present, all-knowing and all-powerful supreme Being. The great I AM from everlasting to everlasting who is the Creator of all things. Wisdom and power belongs to You. O great Ruler and Judge of all, we humble ourselves to worship and exalt You. Be glorified forever. Hallelujah. Amen.
Worship Through Songs
Scripture Reading
Read aloud (together if applicable).
R-13 THE SON OF GOD 聖子上帝
John 1:1-3, 14; Colossians 1:15-17; 2:8-9; John 6:68-69 (NKJV)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.
And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;
But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Song of Response
Worship Through Prayer
Lord, forgive me for judging people hastily based on my own understanding. Good and bad things happen to everyone. These are not the indicators of their morality. Keep me from judging others based on their life situations. Instead, help me to love people well both in my words and actions.
Father, help me show compassion and kindness to those who are undergoing trials and hardships. Let me speak words of life. Restrain me from speaking unnecessary things that would hurt and dishearten weary souls. If necessary, give me wisdom to speak hard truth in love at the right moment.
Lord, thank You for telling me that even though I will face hardships in this life, You have already overcome them for me. Help me to trust in You even when it feels like there's no hope to survive. Thank You for I know that You will hold me securely and lead me out of all my troubles safely. I will trust in You. Amen.
