CALL TO WORSHIP

”Here The Call of The Kingdom”

Verse

Hear the call of the kingdom

Lift your eyes to the King

Let His song rise within you

As a fragrant offering

Of how God rich in mercy

came in Christ to redeem

All who trust in His unfailing grace

Verse

Hear the call of the kingdom

To be children of light

With the mercy of heaven

the humility of Christ

Walking justly before Him

Loving all that is right

That the life of Christ may shine through us

Chorus

King of heaven we will answer the call

We will follow bringing hope to the world

Filled with passion filled with power to proclaim

Salvation in Jesus' name

Verse

Hear the call of the kingdom

To reach out to the lost

With the Father's compassion

In the wonder of the cross

Bringing peace and forgiveness

And a hope yet to come

Let the nations put their trust in Him

“Sing Wherever I Go”

Chorus

All my life, All I know

God's been good

Good to my soul

Mountain high, Valley low

I'm gonna sing wherever I go

When I'm broken

He will fix me

I will call on the name of the Lord

In my sorrow

He's my hope and my strength for tomorrow

Wherever I go

“You Hold It All Together”

Verse

You come, at the right time,

When I least expect it,

Never behind

So why would I be Surprised,

When you deliver,

Every time

You stay the same

In valleys low, you never change

[Chorus]

And I believe that I will see

The Goodness of the Lord

I’m confident as seasons change

Your Faithfulness Remains

[Verse 2]

You go, You go before me

To prepare a blessing

You made a way.

It’s more, than I could imagine

More than I could fathom

Or comprehend

God of my Present,

God of my Future, You write my Story

You Hold it all Together

MEMBERSHIP TESTIMONY

PASTORAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | 1 PETER 5:6-14 ESV

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Final Greetings

12 By Silvanus, a faithful brother as I regard him, I have written briefly to you, exhorting and declaring that this is the true grace of God. Stand firm in it. 13 She who is at Babylon, who is likewise chosen, sends you greetings, and so does Mark, my son. 14 Greet one another with the kiss of love.

Peace to all of you who are in Christ.

Blessed assurance Jesus is mine

O what a foretaste of glory divine

Heir of salvation purchase of God

Born of His Spirit washed in His blood

Chorus

This is my story this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

This is my story this is my song

Praising my Savior all the day long

Perfect submission perfect delight

Visions of rapture now burst on my sight

Echoes of mercy whispers of love

Perfect submission all is at rest

I in my Savior am happy and blest

Watching and waiting looking above

Filled with His goodness lost in His love
