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.
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.

Psalm 121
Leader: I lift up my eyes to the mountains—
where does my help come from?
People: My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
Leader: He will not let your foot slip—
he who watches over you will not slumber;
People: indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
Leader: The Lord watches over you—
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
People: the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
Leader: The Lord will keep you from all harm—
he will watch over your life;
People: the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

Would You Be Free from the Burden of Sin?
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. Refrain
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. Refrain
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. Refrain
Scripture Reading
Jeremiah 33:1-9
Miriam Cing
While Jeremiah was still confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the Lord came to him a second time: 2 “This is what the Lord says, he who made the earth, the Lord who formed it and established it—the Lord is his name: 3 ‘Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.’ 4 For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says about the houses in this city and the royal palaces of Judah that have been torn down to be used against the siege ramps and the sword 5 in the fight with the Babylonians: ‘They will be filled with the dead bodies of the people I will slay in my anger and wrath. I will hide my face from this city because of all its wickedness.
6 “‘Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security. 7 I will bring Judah and Israel back from captivity and will rebuild them as they were before. 8 I will cleanse them from all the sin they have committed against me and will forgive all their sins of rebellion against me. 9 Then this city will bring me renown, joy, praise and honor before all nations on earth that hear of all the good things I do for it; and they will be in awe and will tremble at the abundant prosperity and peace I provide for it.’

Jesus Paid It All
Elvina M. Hall · Worship Team
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone. Refrain
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain
And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat. Refrain
Message
The Blessing of the One Who Has Been Wronged
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Full Transcript
▣ Introduction – People who received great answers in situations where no one could help
1. Joseph – Joseph was sold into slavery and thrown into prison, but God used him mightily.
2. Moses – While living as a fugitive, Moses recorded the book of Genesis.
3. Elijah – The moment when Elijah faced the crisis of death became the most important time of his life.
4. Jeremiah – When Jeremiah was imprisoned for delivering God’s Word, God gave him His Word and His promises.
▣ Main – The answers you must first hold on to
1. What to Do First – “Cry Out” (Only Prayer)
…1) Pray without looking elsewhere or being conscious of people
Fix your eyes on God alone and pray without distraction.
…2) Pray earnestly
……(1) Abraham – Offered everything and built an altar before God.
……(2) Moses – On Mount Horeb, during a moment of deep desperation, God began His works through him.
……(3) Elijah – When Elijah fled to Mount Horeb, God gave him the true message:
“I will replace King Ahab. I have reserved 7,000 disciples who have not bowed to Baal. Anoint Elisha as your successor.”
…3) How much should you cry out in prayer?
……(1) Hezekiah – Prayed facing the wall, and the angel of the Lord went out and struck down the Assyrian army.
……(2) Early Church Leaders – The early church cried out without sleeping, and God removed King Herod Himself.
> Prayer is stored in your brain, your spirit, and before the throne of God.
2. What to Know First – God’s Promises
…1) “I will reveal to you great and hidden things you do not know.”
…2) “I will heal this city.”
…3) “I will restore Judah and Israel from captivity.”
…4) “I will forgive all your sins.”
…5) “This city will become a name of joy, praise, and glory before all nations, displaying the glory of God.”
3. What to Be Assured of First
People may curse you, and Satan may desire to destroy your life, but God desires to bless you.
…1) The seven disasters of Israel
Out of what appeared to be disasters, God raised up remnants who transformed them into seven blessings because they knew God’s final plan.
…2) God’s promise of salvation
God promised long beforehand that Christ would come to save us.
…3) Christ’s explanation of God’s heart
……(1) The Parable of the Lost Sheep – The shepherd left ninety-nine sheep to find the one that was lost.
→ This reveals God’s desire to bless you and restore you.
……(2) “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”
→ God longs to give you true rest and make you whole.
▣ Conclusion – Be a Witness
1. Be a witness who changes destiny through God’s blessing.
…1) From weakness → “Lord, make me a witness who brings life and salvation to my family line.”
…2) In the church → “Lord, make me a witness who saves my church and raises disciples through evangelism.”
…3) In a world obsessed with profit → “Lord, make me a witness who brings life into a fallen world.”
…4) In a world full of spiritual problems → “Lord, make me a witness who brings the gospel to this generation.”
2. Hold on to God’s promises.
…1) “I will give you power to reach the ends of the earth. You will be My witnesses.” (Acts 1:8)
…2) “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go and make disciples of all nations. I am with you always.” (Matthew 28:18–20)
…3) “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. The Lord, seated on the throne, worked with them.” (Mark 16:15, 20)
3. Open your eyes and see.
People are groaning. The world is in chaos. Nations are collapsing. People are crying out in pain, bound by sin and spiritual suffering.
But you are a witness — God called you to bring His answer to them.

People of the Covenant
Jang-Hee Lee
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

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
