Scriptural Call To Worship: The Resurrecting Love of God
Pastor: For the word of the LORD is right and true; He is faithful in all He does.
Men: Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, Your faithfulness to the skies.
Women: You, O Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness.
Men: For the LORD is good and His love endures forever; His faithfulness continues through all generations.
Women: O LORD, hear my prayer, listen to my cry for mercy; in Your faithfulness and righteousness come to my relief.
Men: The LORD is faithful to all His promises and loving toward all He has made.
All: For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen!
(Excerpts from Psalm 33, 36, 86, 100, 143 and Romans 8)
All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name
Scripture Reading: I Peter 1:3-9
3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen Him, you love Him. Though you do not now see Him, you believe in Him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
