THE PRAISE AND WORSHIP

THE DOXOLOGY 

 “Praise God From Whom All Blessings Flow”



THE CALL TO WORSHIP 

Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall laud Your works to another, 

And shall declare Your mighty acts.

On the glorious splendor of Your majesty,

And on Your wondrous works, We will meditate.

The might of Your awesome deeds shall be proclaimed,

And we will declare your greatness!

THE OPENING HYMN

I just want to praise You forever and ever, and ever

for all you’ve done, done for me;

Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you,

Thank you Jesus for blessing me.

I just want to praise You forever and ever, and ever

for all you’ve done, done for me;

Blessings and glory and honor they all belong to you,

Thank you Jesus for blessing me.

THE PRAYER

THE SCRIPTURE

2 Peter 1:16-21

For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, “This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased.” 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.

Minister:   This is the Word of the Lord to the people of God.

People:     Thanks be to God!
