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.

Psalm 149
Leader: Praise the Lord.
Sing to the Lord a new song,
his praise in the assembly of his faithful people.
People: Let Israel rejoice in their Maker;
let the people of Zion be glad in their King.
Leader: Let them praise his name with dancing
and make music to him with timbrel and harp.
People: For the Lord takes delight in his people;
he crowns the humble with victory.
Leader: Let his faithful people rejoice in this honor
and sing for joy on their beds.
People: May the praise of God be in their mouths
and a double-edged sword in their hands,
Leader: to inflict vengeance on the nations
and punishment on the peoples,
People: to bind their kings with fetters,
their nobles with shackles of iron,
All Together: to carry out the sentence written against them—
this is the glory of all his faithful people.
Praise the Lord.

The Lord of Glory, the Light of Earth
Anonymous
The Lord of Glory, the Light of Earth,
When earth lay captive to night.
And sin had robbed her of truth and worth,
Shined forth, and all things were bright!
Glory! glory and praise! Lord of Glory always!
In my heart has His light radiantly shone.
Lord of Glory always! Glory! glory and praise!
Light of all the world is Jesus, Jesus, alone!
Who hear and believe the Master’s word
Know joy of heart all the way.
Who do God’s commands, the light of God
Shall light their brightening day. Refrain
Who live in the dark of sin are blind,
Their world confusion and fear.
Whose guilt has been cleansed by Jesus find
Eyes bright and vision made clear. Refrain

You, Man of God
Lee Wonhwe · Worship Team
Winds of trouble may rage on
And things may be going wrong
Never forget you are in the ship
Where the captain God is strong
Words of deception call on
Temptations are all round
Conquer them all as you listen to
The gentle voice of God
God sees the world and sighs with grief
His heart breaks inside
Where are the ones with the true Gospel
Not one can he find
You man of God be strong
Be strong in the grace of Christ
What you have learned and heard from me
Entrust to reliable men
You man of God be strong
This Gospel you must preach on
God’s Holy spirit will be with you
Forever in all you do

Blessed People To Do World (Rome) Evangelization

Full Transcript
▣ Introduction
For remnants, the very act of asking God’s will is a blessing. There is no need to discover it quickly. Older people have either firm faith or stubbornness. If they have firm faith, they save many future generations, but if they have firm stubbornness, they cause harm to future generations.
1. The three things revealed while doing evangelism
1) People doing vain labor – the powerful nations (conquering and killing), the Jews (they lived keeping the Law but their descendants were completely ruined), the Middle Ages (they tried to live by doctrine but it was all in vain)
2) Almost all successful people end up simply eating their meals and dying.
3) The age of mental illness has come.
2. True success – being saved and preaching the Gospel
1) Recover the strength to do this movement – firmly hold onto the covenant.
2) I stand in the line of world evangelization, and my future generations receive blessings enough to carry out world evangelization, and the work is used for world evangelization.
3) Make the 300%.
3. Myself, future generations, and the field evangelized – Enjoy the power of the covenant today.
1) Joseph, who firmly held the covenant of world evangelization from the beginning, knew that hardships were the path to world evangelization. Jacob treasured that word in his heart – the covenant is surely fulfilled.
2) His mother planted in Moses the covenant that he would become a world leader even though he went as an adopted child – it will surely be answered.
3) The 7 remnants and their parents who had different eyes to see – in the midst of suffering, God had prepared everything.
▣ Main: Evangelization
1. Evangelizing the past – The past is a platform of blessing, the message of the age (Romans 16:25, the blessing hidden before the ages)
1) Paul, who had a tremendous background, was on his way to kill those who believed in Jesus, and met Christ.
2) Paul, while praying and unable to solve his spiritual problems, received the answer – the great door to world evangelization began to open.
3) The power of the Gospel is needed in the past – Paul’s confession
(1) What he had boasted in, he considered as rubbish.
(2) He presses on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of him.
(3) He pursues the prize of the upward call.
(4) The name that makes all things obey.
▷ My past is the platform of blessing. Hold onto the message of the age through the past.
2. Evangelizing today (the 100-year, 1000-year answer) – Do not stay in problems, conflicts, and crises, but find the answer.
1) The answer – It is to give something better. That is today’s blessing and strength.
2) Discover Only, Uniqueness, and Re-creation – something comes out that no one else can give, but I receive.
3) Discover With, Immanuel, Oneness – God is with me, so I find the reason for that.
3. Evangelizing the future – What will remain forever (Romans 16:27)
1) Prayer 300% – 24·25·eternity, heart·thought·brain·soul·the throne. For remnants, while praying even a little, it changes into 24, 25 (the throne), and the eternal is seen. What enters the heart, thoughts, brain, and soul connected to the throne is surely answered.
2) Work 300% – expertise, field-orientation, future-orientation
3) Evangelism and missions 300% – finding the ones God has prepared; among TCK and CCK there are figures. The task is to find them.
▣ Conclusion: How do answers to your prayers come?
1. The answer that comes as you pray
2. The answer that comes even though you did not pray – It comes when you stand in the line of the Gospel and evangelization.
3. The greater answer – The answer that God has hidden and then gives
1) The reason He hides it – because it is precious, because it must not be given to just anyone
2) The 7 remnants who gave the most thanksgiving (Jeremiah 33:3, Isaiah 43:18-20) – thanksgiving changes the brain.
3) We who received the Gospel always seek God’s plan, so we give thanks with that.

Hymn
We Are His Remnant
Kim Young Gon and 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.
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
