I Will Worship You
Seok Jin Oh · Ha Young Yoo
In the Spirit Lord, I will worship You.
And in truth alone I will worship You.
With the gospel of life, I will worship You.
For You are worthy of all glory, Lord.
Father, Son, and Spirit, I will worship You.
With the covenant, I will worship You.
With the blessing of the throne, I will worship You.
Lord, let your power be revealed through my life.
Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
On the third day, He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The Holy Universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.
Hymn
O for a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Charles Wesley
O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.
Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.
He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.
To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.

Hymn
Power in the Blood
Lewis E. Jones
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you o’er evil a victory win?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is pow’r, pow’r, wonder-working pow’r
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary’s tide–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
Would you be whiter, yes brighter than snow?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Sin-stains are lost in its life-giving flow–
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
Would you do service for Jesus, your King?
There’s pow’r in the blood, pow’r in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There’s wonderful pow’r in the blood.
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 60:20-22
Miriam Cing
Your sun will never set again,
and your moon will wane no more;
the Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your days of sorrow will end.
21 Then all your people will be righteous
and they will possess the land forever.
They are the shoot I have planted,
the work of my hands,
for the display of my splendor.
22 The least of you will become a thousand,
the smallest a mighty nation.
I am the Lord;
in its time I will do this swiftly.”

It Is Well With My Soul
Horatio Spafford · Worship Team
When peace like a river attendeth my way,
when sorrows like sea billows roll;
whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”
It is well with my soul;
it is well, it is well with my soul.
Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,
let this blest assurance control:
that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,
and has shed his own blood for my soul.
My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought!
my sin, not in part, but the whole,
is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more;
praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
the clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
the trump shall resound and the Lord shall descend;
even so, it is well with my soul.

When You Arise and Shine

▣ Introduction: The healing of light
1. What you must first know
1) The greatest sin of the believer – not knowing what the light is.
(1) The light of creation (Genesis 1:1–3) – God created light by His Word.
(2) Jesus Christ, who was sent as the light (John 1:4, 9, 12)
(3) The light of glory (Isaiah 60:1) – “To all who received Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”
(4) “You are the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14)
(5) “A royal priesthood, called to declare the light” (1 Peter 2:9)
2) If we do not proclaim this light, disasters will come upon the future generation.
3) God sends the future generation as slaves, captives, colonized people, and wanderers to shine the light.
2. Experience through the Word and prayer what happens when the light shines.
1) Christ shone His light upon Paul on the road to Damascus.
2) God, Christ is the light. “You are the light of the world.”
3) The light of Christ will shine where you are.
3. Just rise and shine the light. Without the light, you cannot overcome disasters, the power of hell, or the authority of Satan.
▣ Main point: The answer of what is rightful, necessary, and absolute
1. The light that heals the future generation (Isaiah 60:1)
1) Verse 4 – “Your sons and daughters will come from afar.”
2) Verse 8 – “They will return to their nesting place.” The remnants will return.
3) TCK, CCK, NCK will return.
2. The light that heals the economy of darkness
1) Economy of light – The economy of light that builds a true church. “Your gates will always stand open, day and night.” “I will glorify the place where My feet rest” (verses 11, 13).
2) Remnant economy – “Your descendants will return with silver and gold.” Pray with spiritual anguish (verse 9).
3) Missions economy – “The islands look to Me and the ships of Tarshish return” (verse 9).
3. The light that saves you and your nation
1) Verses 20–21 – “The LORD will be your everlasting light, and your days of sorrow will end. Your people will all be righteous and possess the land forever.”
2) Verse 22 – “The least of you will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.”
3) Verse 22 – “I, the LORD, will do this swiftly. I will accomplish it precisely at the appointed time.”
▣ Conclusion
1. Go as a watchman.
1) One who gives God no rest day or night
2) One who prepares the highway
3) One who raises the banner so that all people may come
4) One who shines the light from the bartizan and watchtower
2. One who proclaims – “Proclaim the Word. Prophesy to the breath.”
3. One who declares the light (1 Peter 2:9) – You have been called to declare this light.

Remnant
Kim Young Gon · Kwon Jung Min
God’s people are scattered all around,
For the LORD has sent us on ahead of time;
But when the LORD calls us together,
We shall see His covenant in us restored;
For in this dark world full of idols,
The people have lost all their hope;
But when the Spirit comes
Like the power of the wind,
They will hear and receive the LORD.
Let us rise, all you scattered,
As the remnant,
Let us shine the light of Jesus,
To the world of night;
In the nations of the world,
Let us rise and shine for Jesus,
For we are His Remnant.

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price
Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.
And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night,
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!
We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail. Chorus
