LISTEN TO OR SING A SONG
The Church's One Foundation The church's one foundation Is Jesus Christ her Lord She is His new creation By water and the Word From Heav'n He came and sought her To be His holy bride With His own blood He bought her And for her life He died Elect from every nation Yet one o'er all the earth Her charter of salvation One Lord one faith one birth One holy name she blesses Partakes one holy food And to one hope she presses With every grace endued Chorus Hallelujah our salvation Jesus Christ is our foundation Hallelujah our salvation Jesus Christ is our foundation Mid toil and tribulation And clamor of her war She waits the consummation Of peace forevermore Till with the vision glorious Her longing eyes are blest And the great church victorious Shall be the church at rest
CONFESS YOUR SINS & RECEIVE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.
Romans 5:1-5
READ THE SCRIPTURES
Romans 12:1-8
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect. For by the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned. For as in one body we have many members, and the members do not all have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, in our serving; the one who teaches, in his teaching; the one who exhorts, in his exhortation; the one who contributes, in generosity; the one who leads, with zeal; the one who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.
