(Ministry of the Word)

Scripture Reading: 1st Peter 4:12-16

Dear friends, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice inasmuch as you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed. If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.

Message: Count It All Joy

Hymn #169 Because He Lives

Benediction

GOD, make the door of this house wide enough to receive all who need human love and the knowledge of a FATHER’S care; make it narrow enough to shut out pride, envy and all unworthy purpose; make its threshold low enough so that it be no stumbling-block to childhood, weakness, or straying feet; but make it high enough to turn back the tempter‘s power.
