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 147
Leader: Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to
our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!
People: The Lord builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the
exiles of Israel.
Leader: He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their
wounds.
People: He determines the number of the stars and calls
them each by name.
Leader: Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his
understanding has no limit.
People: The Lord sustains the humble but casts the
wicked to the ground.
Leader: Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving: make music to
our God on the harp.
People: He covers the sky with clouds, he supplies the
earth with rain and makes grass grow on the
hills.
Leader: He provides food for the cattle and for the young
ravens when they call.
People: His pleasant is not in the strength of the horse,
nor his delight in the legs of a man.
All Together: The Lord delights in those who fear him,
who put their hope in his unfailing love.

The Cleansing Wave
Phoebe Palmer
Oh, now I see the crimson wave!
The fountain deep and wide;
Jesus, my Lord, mighty to save,
Points to His wounded side.
The cleansing stream I see, I see!
I plunge, and, oh, it cleanseth me!
Oh, praise the Lord, it cleanseth me!
It cleanseth me, yes, cleanseth me.
I see the new creation rise,
I hear the speaking blood;
It speaks, polluted nature dies,
Sinks ’neath the cleansing flood. Refrain
I rise to walk in Heav’n’s own light,
Above the world and sin,
With heart made pure and garments white,
And Christ enthroned within. Refrain
Amazing grace! ’tis Heav’n below
To feel the blood applied,
And Jesus, only Jesus know,
My Jesus crucified. Refrain
Scripture Reading
Acts 1:1-8
Pastor Francis
In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he presented himself to them and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God. 4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: “Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.”
6 Then they gathered around him and asked him, “Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?”
7 He said to them: “It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”

I Give Myself Away

Here I am
Here I am
Here I stand
Lord, my life is in your hands
Lord, I’m longing to see
Your desires revealed in me
I give myself away
So You can use me

I give myself away
So You can use me
Take my heart
Take my life
As a living sacrifice
All my dreams all my plans
Lord I place them in your hands
I give myself away
So You can use me
I give myself away
I give myself away
So You can use me
Message
Thanksgiving Is a Festival to Be Enjoyed Every Day
Pastor Ryu Kwang Su
Full Transcript
▣ Introduction
1. Find the final commission that God wants to give you.
1) If you remain thinking that you do not have it, you will enter into the greatest suffering.
2) You either give up with your own thoughts and stay quietly within your own boundary, or you struggle incorrectly.
2. The Feast of Ingathering (Thanksgiving) – It began at the Exodus and was completed by Jesus in Mark’s upper room.
3. Hardship – The best timetable.
*Know what God first wants to give you inside suffering
1. The gospel – “Go to offer the blood sacrifice.” “He explained the things concerning the kingdom of God for 40 days.”
1) The gospel is that the Triune God makes you His children and takes responsibility for you.
2) Exodus 3:18 – On the day of offering the blood sacrifice, the authority of Satan was broken.
3) Isaiah 7:14 – “A virgin will conceive and bear a son, and will call His name Immanuel.”
4) Matthew 16:16 – The Christ – “You will not be shaken. I will build My church upon this rock. I give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. The authority of darkness will not overcome you.”
5) When you lose hold of the gospel, you lose everything.
▷ “It is finished” (John 19:30) – It is over. There is no need to do anything else.
2. Prayer – 40 years in the wilderness, the 40-day explanation of the kingdom of God
1) Enjoying the bartizan of the throne – You see answers that transcend time and space and answers never seen before or after.
2) Walking the journey of the throne – Acceptance, transcendence, victory.
3) Establishing the guideposts of the throne – The footprints that remain to the 5,000 tribes.
3. Answers – The tabernacle, the ark of the covenant, and the three feasts given during the 40 years in the wilderness
1) The bartizan of the throne is formed first (Revelation 8:3-5) – The beginning of answers.
2) The journey of the throne – You begin to see the path you must go.
3) The guidepost of the throne – Visible answers (your work begins to be reproduced and recreated; your studies begin to be prepared 300%).
▣ Main: The Feast of Ingathering – The three feasts come together connected
- The Passover (the day the lamb’s blood was applied and they were freed) – being saved by the blood of Christ.
- The Pentecost (gathering grain in the wilderness) – living by the power of Pentecost.
- The Feast of Ingathering (gathering grain and storing it in the storehouse) – your background is the throne.
1. The three feasts that overturn destiny – The moment you understand, you are liberated
1) The 10 blessings – All curses of Egypt were shattered. This power was delivered to Israel, Egypt, the seven tribes of Canaan, the 31 kings, and the entire world.
2) All is a process – What God has prepared remains separately. Holding onto that alone becomes a bartizan. Come out of the darkness.
3) Even now the background of the throne works – Believe (Mark 16:19-20, Acts 7:55-56, Revelation 8:3-5).
2. The three feasts that change the future of the next generation
1) Exodus 23:14-19 – “You must surely keep the three feasts.”
2) Deuteronomy 6:4-9 – “Before entering Canaan, imprint everything that has happened until now into your children.”
3) Among the next generation, there are children whom God has prepared.
▷ What enters a child goes in forever.
3. Enjoy the completed three feasts every day.
1) The completed three feasts – Calvary (completion), Mt Olive (mission), Mark’s upper room (fulfillment).
2) Life challenge – Absolute impossibility (acknowledging), absolute plan (discovering), absolute possibility (changing the world).
3) Your background – the throne.
▣ Conclusion: The remaining blessing – 7 points
1. The remnant – will become those who remain.
2. The pilgrim – not a wanderer but one who shines the light.
3. The conqueror – conquering the darkness.
4. The scattered ones – the ones who are sent.
5. The watchman.
6. The spy – the one who blocks the disasters of 24, 25, and eternity.
7. The one who repairs the highway and lifts the banner...

Give Thanks
Don Moen
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One;
Give thanks, because he’s given
Jesus Christ, his Son.
Give thanks with a grateful heart,
Give thanks to the Holy One;
Give thanks, because he’s given
Jesus Christ, his Son.
And now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,
Let the poor say ‘I am rich’,
Because of what the Lord has done for us;
And now let the weak say ‘I am strong’,
Let the poor say ‘I am rich’,
Because of what the Lord has done for us.
Give thanks…
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
