CALL TO WORSHIP

I was glad when they said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord, Our feet shall stand within they gates, O Jerusalem

For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God…than to dwell in the tents of wickedness

Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.

Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Blessed are they That dwell in thy house. Lord, I have loved thy habitation, the place where thy Honor dwelleth.

For the Lord is in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in they sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer. Psalm 19: 14

O sing unto the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth, sing praises.

“I Once Was Lost in Sin” #351 Hymn #448 HYMN No. 1

I once was lost in sin, but Jesus took me in, and then a little light from heaven filled my soul, It bathed my heart in love, and wrote my name above, And just a little talk with Jesus made me whole.

Refrain: Now let us have a little talk with Jesus, (let us) tell Him all about our troubles, (He will) hear our faintest cry (and he will) answer by and by; `now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning, know a little fire is burning, (You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right. (it makes it right. )

Sometimes my path seems drear, without a ray of cheer, And then a cloud of doubt may hide the light of day; The mists of sin may rise and hide the starry skies, but just a little talk with Jesus clears the way.

Refrain: Now let us have a little talk with Jesus, (let us) tell Him all about our troubles, (He will) hear our faintest cry (and he will) answer by and by; `now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning, know a little fire is burning, (You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right. (it makes it right. )

I may have doubts and fears, my eyes be filled with tears, but Jesus is a friend who watches day and night; I go to Him in prayer, He knows my every care, And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right.

Refrain: Now let us have a little talk with Jesus, (let us) tell Him all about our troubles, (He will) hear our faintest cry (and he will) answer by and by; `now when you feel a little prayer wheel turning, know a little fire is burning, (You will) find a little talk with Jesus makes it right. (it makes it right. )

INVOCATION

Response: Hear our prayer oh Lord, Hear our prayer Oh Lord and grant us Thy peace. Amen

Written Word Matthew 4: 21 -30

21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before. 26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

29 Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: 30 And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory.

Hymn No. 69 From All That Dwell below the Skies, Let the Creator’s praise arise; Let the Redeemer’s name be sung, through every land by every tongue.

Summary of Decalogue And he said to him, You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind;

This is the first and great commandment and the second is like unto it, …

thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself, on these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
