Perfect You Are My God
Rose Park
Perfect You are my God
Righteous and Holy
In all of Your ways
Revealing Your glory
In all that You do
All men will worship You
I will worship You
I will praise Your name
For You are the only Lord and King
I will worship You
I will praise Your name
My desire is to honor You Lord
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.
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.

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore You
Henry Van Dyke
Joyful, joyful, we adore You,
God of glory, Lord of love;
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before You,
Op’ning to the sun above.
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;
Drive the dark of doubt away;
Giver of immortal gladness,
Fill us with the light of day!
All Your works with joy surround You,
Earth and heav’n reflect Your rays,
Stars and angels sing around You,
Center of unbroken praise;
Field and forest, vale and mountain,
Flow’ry meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain
Praising You eternally!
Always giving and forgiving,
Ever blessing, ever blest,
Well-spring of the joy of living,
Ocean-depth of happy rest!
Loving Father, Christ our Brother,
Let Your light upon us shine;
Teach us how to love each other,
Lift us to the joy divine.
Mortals, join the mighty chorus,
Which the morning stars began;
God’s own love is reigning o’er us,
Joining people hand in hand.
Ever singing, march we onward,
Victors in the midst of strife;
Joyful music leads us sunward
In the triumph song of life.

Hymn
Savior, More Than Life to Me
Fanny Crosby
Savior, more than life to me,
I am clinging, clinging close to Thee;
Let Thy precious blood applied,
Keep me ever, ever near Thy side.
Ev’ry day, ev’ry hour
Let me feel thy cleansing pow’r;
May Thy tender love to me
Bind me closer, closer, Lord, to Thee.
Through this changing world below,
Lead me gently, gently as I go;
Trusting Thee, I cannot stray,
I can never, never lose my way. Refrain
Let me love Thee more and more,
Till this fleeting, fleeting life is o’er;
Till my soul is lost in love,
In a brighter, brighter world above. Refrain
Scripture Reading
Matthew 28:16-20
Binh Vo
Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. 17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
Message
The Promise of the Resurrected Christ
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
.▣ Introduction: How should we resolve difficulties and crises?
1. Most people – when they pray and nothing changes, they struggle; when that still does not work, they give up and fall into unbelief.
2. The church – because there is no spiritual knowledge, there is no spiritual strength, and spiritual problems arise.
…1) They do not know the original sin (Genesis 3, 6, 11).
…2) They cannot understand the virgin birth.
…3) They cannot understand the resurrection and the throne that Jesus spoke of for 40 days.
3. The nation and the world are in chaos due to idol worship, mental problems, and disasters.
▣ Main: What happens when I change myself as a child of God and give complete worship?
1. “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me, and I will always be with you” (verse 18).
…1) The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne are yours. This must be imprinted into your soul through prayer.
…2) Completely changed Peter – you must become a person who sees Christ, who is always with you with all authority in heaven and on earth.
…3) Paul, who after meeting Christ and finding all answers, was completely transformed into an evangelist
…4) Kim Ik-du, who was changed into an evangelist
2. The Triune God will always be with you (verse 19).
…1) The work that the Triune God is still doing now – fulfillment of the Word, answers to prayer, and the work of salvation
…2) The bartizan, journey, and guidepost of the throne begin to be seen on my path.
…3) The 3 camps – must become ours.
……(1) The 1st camp – when you pray with the covenant given at Mt. Olive, He completely opens the way.
……(2) The 2nd camp – the Nephilim culture of darkness is broken.
……(3) The 3rd camp – there are disciples whom God has hidden. Therefore, make disciples of all nations.
3. “I am with you always, to the end of the age” (verse 20).
…1) Heavenly
…2) Thronely – the throne
…3) Eternally
▷ Wherever you go, the forces of darkness are bound to collapse. You must believe this. If your eyes are not changed, even when world evangelization has come, you will not realize it.
▣ Conclusion
1. Family line (poverty, disease, incompetence) – when holding onto the covenant that the Triune God, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, will be with you until the end of the age, and praying, answers came.
2. The church (human-centered talk, incompetence, no evangelism) – you must change yourself. You must pray and evangelize.
3. Seminary and the church world (profession) – you must change yourself. Prepare for 300% evangelism.
▷ Seeing the important world where the Triune God, who has all authority in heaven and on earth, is always with us until the end of the age, you must change your bartizan. You must change yourself, who is holding onto something else.

People of the Covenant
Lee Jang-Hee
Even though I am very weak
God is perfect, God is complete
And though time and again I may fall
He will raise me up again
We’re the people of His Covenant
He is forever with us
Our God works in our lives through His Spirit
In every step we take
No one can ever block the Word of Life
No one can cast aside the Word of God
The gospel of our Lord will be fulfilled
In the name of Jesus Christ
The gospel will be proclaimed
We’re the people of His Covenant
Proclaimed to the very ends of the earth
In every step we take
Prayer · Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
…hallowed be thy name;
…thy kingdom come;
…thy will be done;
…on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
…as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
…but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
…the power and the glory,
…forever and ever.
Amen.

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
Benediction
