Prayer of Confession:

Sometimes, our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. But Jesus said, “My yoke is easy and my burden is light. ” Let us bring to God in prayer our burden of sin and our yoke of guilt, confident and trusting in the Spirit of grace.

God, We live in a world that is always getting ready for war. Why do we always prepare for war and not for peace? We don't understand. You have promised a day when We will learn to prepare for Peace. Let us start now. We ask in the name of Jesus, the prince of peace (silence)

God the Creator brings you new life, forgives and redeems you. Take hold of this forgiveness, and live your life in the spirit of Jesus. Amen

The Word is Spoken Scripture Micah: 4: 1 -7 이건우

Scripture Micah 4: 1 -7 1 In the future, the mountain with the LORD's temple will be the highest of all. It will reach above the hills, and every nation will rush to it. 2 People of many nations will come and say, "Let's go up to the mountain of the LORD God of Jacob and worship in his temple. " The LORD will teach us his Law from Jerusalem, and we will obey him. 3 He will settle arguments between distant and powerful nations. They will pound their swords and their spears into rakes and shovels; they will never again make war or attack one another.

4 Everyone will find rest beneath their own fig trees or grape vines, and they will live in peace. This is a solemn promise of the LORD All-Powerful. 5 Others may follow their gods, but we will always follow the LORD our God. 6 The LORD said: At that time I will gather my people-- the lame and the outcasts, and all into whose lives I have brought sorrow. 7 Then the lame and the outcasts will belong to my people and become a strong nation. I, the LORD, will rule them from Mount Zion forever.
