2 Cor 5:14 Sunday, 10 Apr 2016 Upper Room, 8.30am Reflective Verse And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Revelation 12:11 Reflective Question What is the word of our testimony and how is it a force for ending the rule of Satan in our personal lives and on Planet Earth? Prayer Lord Jesus, you are my righteousness, I am your sin. You took on you what was mine; you set on me what was yours. You became what you were not that I might become what I was not.

PRAISE Call to Worship Psalm Psalm 22:25-31 [PLEASE STAND] Leader Mrs Hui Mei Ling From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly; before those who fear you I will fulfill my vows. People Leader People Leader ALL The poor will eat and be satisfied; those who seek the Lord will praise him may your hearts live forever! All the ends of the earth will remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of the nations will bow down before him, for dominion belongs to the Lord and he rules over the nations. All the rich of the earth will feast and worship; all who go down to the dust will kneel before him those who cannot keep themselves alive. Posterity will serve him; future generations will be told about the Lord. They will proclaim his righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it! Amen. Songs of Praise Mr Oscar Chng TIME OF SIMULTANEOUS CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER Shout for joy to the LORD give thanks to Him and praise His name. (Psalm 100:1, 4) Usually the congregation is given a specific time period, with a common theme of petition or supplication. Then all pray aloud at the same time in the power of the Spirit. (United Methodist Book of Worship 1992, pg 446) PRAYER SILENT & INTERCESSORY PRAYER But the LORD is in his holy temple; let all the earth be silent before him. (Habakkuk 2:20) TIME FOR WATCHING THE LORD I will stand at my watch; I will look to see what he will say to me. (Habakkuk 2:1) What then shall we say, brothers? When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a revelation, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church. (1 Corinthians 14:26) Pastoral Prayer Mr Alan Tay The Lord s Prayer 2
