SCRIPTURE Acts 3: 11-16 (NKJV) Preaching in Solomon s Portico 11 Now as the lame man who was healed held on to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them in the porch which is called Solomon s, greatly amazed. 12 So when Peter saw it, he responded to the people: Men of Israel, why do you marvel at this? Or why look so intently at us, as though by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk? 13 The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, the God of our fathers, glorified His Servant Jesus, whom you delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let Him go. 14 But you denied the Holy One and the Just, and asked for a murderer to be granted to you, 15 and killed the Prince of life, whom God raised from the dead, of which we are witnesses. 16 And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. 4

RESPONSIVE READING Psalm 19: 1-7 (NKJV) LEADER: The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. CONG: There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. LEADER: In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. CONG: ALL: Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; 5

I M ON THE BATTLEFIELD LD FOR MY LORD CHORUS I am on the battlefield for my Lord, I m on the battlefield for my Lord; And I promised Him that I would serve Him till I die. I m on the battlefield for my Lord. I was alone and idle, I was a sinner too, I heard a voice from heaven, say there is work to do, I took the Master s hand, and I joined the Christian band, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. I left my friends and kindred Bound for the Promised land, The grace of God upon me, The Bible in my hand, In distant lands I trod, Crying sinner come to God, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. Now when I met my Savior, I met Him with a smile, He healed my wounded spirit, And owned me as His child, Around the throne of grace, He appoints my soul a place, I m on the battlefield for my Lord. 6
