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.

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned
Samuel Stennett
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior’s brow;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o’erflow,
His lips with grace o’erflow.
No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men;
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav’nly train,
Who fill the heav’nly train.
He saw me plunged in deep distress,
And flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief,
And carried all my grief.
To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave,
And saves me from the grave.

There Shall Be Showers of Blessing
D. W. Whittle
There shall be showers of blessing:
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Savior above.
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need:
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
There shall be showers of blessing,
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain. [Refrain]
There shall be showers of blessing:
Send them upon us, O Lord;
Grant to us now a refreshing,
Come and now honor Thy Word. [Refrain]
There shall be showers of blessing:
Oh, that today they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call! [Refrain]
Scripture Reading
Isaiah 62:6-12
Carmetta Williams
I have posted watchmen on your walls, Jerusalem;
they will never be silent day or night.
You who call on the Lord,
give yourselves no rest,
7 and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem
and makes her the praise of the earth.
8 The Lord has sworn by his right hand
and by his mighty arm:
“Never again will I give your grain
as food for your enemies,
and never again will foreigners drink the new wine
for which you have toiled;
9 but those who harvest it will eat it
and praise the Lord,
and those who gather the grapes will drink it
in the courts of my sanctuary.”
10 Pass through, pass through the gates!
Prepare the way for the people.
Build up, build up the highway!
Remove the stones.
Raise a banner for the nations.
11 The Lord has made proclamation
to the ends of the earth:
“Say to Daughter Zion,
‘See, your Savior comes!
See, his reward is with him,
and his recompense accompanies him.’”
12 They will be called the Holy People,
the Redeemed of the Lord;
and you will be called Sought After,
the City No Longer Deserted.
Message
The Watchman’s Prayer
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
▣ Introduction
1. The watchman’s prayer
…1) A new member is a watchman who saves the family line.
…2) A church leader is a watchman who saves the region.
…3) A minister is a watchman who establishes 1,000 bartizans.
…4) A pastor and missionary is a watchman who saves the world.
2. A watchman is a person who does 24, a person who waits for 25, and a person who leaves behind eternal things.
3. A watchman must have a bartizan of power. It is to save those who are on the journey, and to erect a monument to the one who made the guidepost.
▣ Main: The watchman’s mission — How must it be done?
1. The watchman who receives and delivers the covenant given by the sovereign God.
…1) Isaiah 6:1-13 God, who is seated on the throne, spoke. “Raise up the Remnant.”
…2) Isaiah 7:14 Immanuel is coming.
…3) Isaiah 40:6-31 “Say that the word of the Lord shall stand forever.” “Those who wait upon the Lord shall rise up with wings like eagles.”
…4) Isaiah 43:18-21 “Do not remember the former things. I will do a new thing.”
…5) Isaiah 60:1-22 “Arise and shine. The light of the glory of the Lord has come upon you. The nations shall return, and your sons and daughters shall return bearing silver and gold.”
2. The watchman of prayer who moves the throne — “Do not let the Lord rest day or night” (He is with you day and night.)
…1) When you do 24, the five powers and authority are restored. You see a bartizan that others cannot see.
…2) When you know 25, the work of the throne becomes visible, and the kingdom of God is established before you go. After it moves, the work of the kingdom of God takes place.
…3) When you find the answer called eternity, a monument remains.
3. The watchman who holds the secret that moves the world — if you have this power, you move world evangelization.
…1) “Prepare the highway” — the three courtyards, the three-day weekend age, the holy meditation age
…2) “For all peoples” — the power to save 237 nations, 5,000 tribes, and TCK
…3) “Lift up a banner” — plant the banner of Christ that will bring down the forces of darkness. Make all people come.
▷ When we believe this covenant and pray, history will be made.
▣ Conclusion
1. Resolution — the watchman who receives the living and active Word and delivers it, the person of the highest prayer who moves the throne, the watchman of the highest evangelism who prepares the highway
2. The watchman of prayer who saves the family line, the church leader is the watchman who saves the region, having prepared 300%, the missionary is the watchman who establishes 1,000 bartizans
3. When you hold onto this covenant precisely, God will come to where you are bearing every blessing.

Christ for the Whole Wide World
Hattie Bell Allen
Christ for the whole wide world!
Our task has just begun,
For millions wait in every land
The message of God’s Son.
Shall they be left in sin,
To die without His Word,
Without the Savior Jesus Christ,
Because they never heard?
We will give, we will pray,
We will witness every day,
That the millions of the whole wide world
May know our Saviour’s love.
Christ for the whole wide world!
His message must be sent
To millions dying in their sin
To call them to repent.
Christ Jesus died to save,
But they can never know
Until we bring our gifts of love
And bid His heralds go! Refrain
Christ for the whole wide world!
His heralds will proclaim
Salvation for men everywhere
In Jesus’ blessed name.
And we who cannot go
To bear His tidings far
Will pray for those who take the Word
And witness where we are. Refrain

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
