Invocation
Scripture: Psalm 98
1 O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have gotten him victory.
2 The Lord has made known his victory; he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
3 He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seen the victory of our God.
4 Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
5 Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody.
6 With trumpets and the sound of the horn make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
7 Let the sea roar, and all that fills it; the world and those who live in it.
8 Let the floods clap their hands; let the hills sing together for joy
9 at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming to judge the earth. He will judge the world with righteousness, and the peoples with equity.
We will Glorify
Hymn #156
We will glorify the King of Kings;
We will glorify the Lamb.
We will glorify the Lord of Lords,
Who is the great I am.
Lord Jehovah reigns in majesty;
We will bow before His throne.
We will worship Him
in righteousness;
We will worship Him alone.
He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth;
He is Lord of all who live.
He is Lord above the universe;
All praise to Him we give.
Hallelujah to the King of Kings;
Hallelujah to the Lamb.
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords,
Who is the great I am.
How Firm a Foundation
Hymn # 689
How firm a foundation,
ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith
in His excellent Word!
How firm a foundation,
ye saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith
in His excellent Word!
“Fear not; I am with thee.
O be not dismayed,
For I am thy God,
I will still give thee aid.
I’ll strengthen thee, help thee,
and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My gracious,
omnipotent hand.”
“When thro’ the deep waters
I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow
shall not overflow;
For I will be with thee
thy trials to bless,
And sanctify to thee
Thy deepest distress.”
“When thro’ fi’ry trials
thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient,
shall be thy supply.
The flames shall not hurt thee;
I only design
Thy dross to consume
and thy gold to refine.”
“When thro’ fi’ry trials
thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient,
shall be thy supply.
The flames shall not hurt thee;
I only design
Thy dross to consume
and thy gold to refine.”
“The soul that on Jesus
hath leaned for repose
I will not, I will not
desert to his foes;
That soul, tho’ all hell
should endeavor to shake,
I’ll never, no never,
no never forsake.”
Standing on the Promises
Hymn #687
Standing on the promises
of Christ, my King!
Thro’ eternal ages let His praises ring.
“Glory in the highest!”
I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God,
my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises
that cannot fail!
When the howling storms of doubt
and fear assail,
By the living Word of God
I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God,
my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises,
I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing
in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty
where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God,
my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises
of Christ, the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally
by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the
Spirit’s Sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God,
my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Standing on the promises,
I cannot fall,
Lis-t’ning ev-’ry moment
to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior
as my All in All,
Standing on the promises of God.
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God,
my Savior;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
Scripture: Isaiah 65:17-25
17 For I am about to create new heavens and a new earth; the former things shall not be remembered or come to mind.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I am creating; for I am about to create Jerusalem as a joy, and its people as a delight.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; no more shall the sound of weeping be heard in it, or the cry of distress.
20 No more shall there be in it an infant that lives but a few days, or an old person who does not live out a lifetime; for one who dies at a hundred years will be considered a youth, and one who falls short of a hundred will be considered accursed.
21 They shall build houses and inhabit them; they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
22 They shall not build and another inhabit; they shall not plant and another eat; for like the days of a tree shall the days of my people be, and my chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 They shall not labor in vain, or bear children for calamity; for they shall be offspring blessed by the Lord— and their descendants as well.
24 Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking I will hear.
25 The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, the lion shall eat straw like the ox; but the serpent—its food shall be dust! They shall not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

Scripture: Luke 21:5-19
5 When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, he said,
6 "As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down."
7 They asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?"
8 And he said, "Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, "I am he!' and, "The time is near!' Do not go after them.
9 "When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately."
10 Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom;
11 there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.
12 "But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name.
13 This will give you an opportunity to testify.
14 So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance;
15 for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict.
16 You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death.
17 You will be hated by all because of my name.
18 But not a hair of your head will perish.
19 By your endurance you will gain your souls.

“Your Labor is Not In Vain”
Your labor is not in vain Though the ground underneath you is cursed and stained
Your planting and reaping are never the same Your labor is not in vain
Your labor is not unknown Though the rocks they cry out and the sea it may groan The place of your toil may not seem like a home
But Your labor is not unknown
[Chorus] I am with you, I am with you I am with you, I am with you For I have called you, called you by name Your labor is not in vain
[Verse 3] The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
The fields will sing out and rejoice with the truth For all that is old will at last be made new
The vineyards you plant will bear fruit
[Chorus] I am with you, I am with you I am with you, I am with you For I have called you, called you by name Your labor is not in vain
[Verse 4] The houses you labored to build
Will finally with laughter and joy be filled The serpent that hurts and destroys will be killed And all that is broken be healed
[Chorus] I am with you, I am with you I am with you, I am with you For I have called you, called you by name Your labor is not in vain I am with you, oh I am with you Oh I am with you, oh I am with you For I have called you, called you by name Your labor is not in vain
Scripture: 2 Thessalonians 2:6-13
6 And you know what is now restraining him, so that he may be revealed when his time comes.
7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work, but only until the one who now restrains it is removed.
8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will destroy with the breath of his mouth, annihilating him by the manifestation of his coming.
9 The coming of the lawless one is apparent in the working of Satan, who uses all power, signs, lying wonders,
10 and every kind of wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved.
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion, leading them to believe what is false,
12 so that all who have not believed the truth but took pleasure in unrighteousness will be condemned.
13 But we must always give thanks to God for you, brothers and sisters beloved by the Lord, because God chose you as the first fruits for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and through belief in the truth.
