Responsive Scripture Reading John 3:14-18 In Unison And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but He that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Congregational Hymn Oh, How I Love Jesus 1. There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth; It sounds like music in mine ear, The sweetest name on earth. 2. It tells me of a Savior s love, Who died to set me free; It tells me of His precious blood, The sinner s perfect plea. 3. It tells me what my Father hath, In store for every day, And though I tread a darksome path,yields sunshine all the way. 4. It tells of One whose loving heart, Can feel my deepest woe, Who in each sorrow bears a part, than non can bear below. Chorus: Oh, how I love Jesus, Oh, how I love Jesus Oh, how I love Jesus, Because He first loved me!
