Welcome

In the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, the Head of the Church.

Elders, Deacons, and Pastor, of The International Christian Church of Minahasa (GMIM USA) welcome to you all.

“Worship the LORD with gladness; come into His presence with singing.

GATHERING OF THE PEOPLE


(L2) Opening Song-Nyanyian Pembukaan 

(Stand)

I Love You, Lord

I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice

To worship you, Oh my soul rejoice!

Take joy, my King, in what you hear

May it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear

I love you, Lord, and I lift my heart

To worship you as my soul demands

Take joy, my King, in what you see

May I be a sweet, sweet child on your knee


(L1) Call to Worship-Panggilan Beribadah

Do you love the Lord our God?

      Let us demonstrate our love through our worship today!

Come and tell Him through singing.

      Come and tell Him through praise.

Come and tell Him through the silent prayer of your heart.

      A great and compassionate God loves us.

Let us give Him our love in return. Come, now and worship.

(Instrumentalia) “I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say”-KJ 144b


(L1) Prayer of Confession-Pengakuan Dosa

With faith and hope, let us confess our sin…………….

Heavenly Father, we lower our heads before You and we confess that we have too often forgotten that we are Yours.

On Sundays we come to this place and You fill us up with Your goodness and light and we are renewed. But when we go out into the world, we fall short in so many ways.

      We confess that we are easily influenced by temptations and we fall to all kinds of sins.

We are broken people who constantly lose focus on the cross of Christ. Forgive us for taking for granted the gift of the sacrifice of Your Son on our behalf.

      Thank you for being the Good Shepherd who always brings us back.

Please transform our hearts and lives to live every day in the image of Your Son, Jesus. In Whose name we pray, Amen.

Amazing Grace - KJ 40

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found;

Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,

And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

.

Through many dangers, toils and snares,

I have already come;

’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,

And grace will lead me home


(P)Declaration of Forgiveness-Pemberitaan Pengampunan

God is slow to anger and full of compassion. He forgives all who humbly repent and trust in his Son as Saviour and Lord. Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus

      In Jesus Christ we are forgiven! Amen.


(P)Peace-Damai

Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.

      And also be with you. Amen

(L1)Affirmation of Faith-Pengakuan Iman

Together with all believers throughout the ages, let us confess our affirmation of faith according to the Apostle Creed. Saying:

      I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

      I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

      I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Test me in this,” says the LORD Almighty, “and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it.“ Malachi 3:10


I Know Whom I Have Believed - KJ 387

I know not why God’s wondrous grace, to me He hath made known

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love, redeemed me for His own

But I know whom I have believed and am persuaded

that He is able to keep that which I’ve committed,

unto Him against that day


I know not how this saving faith to me He did impart

Nor How believing in His word wrought peace within my heart. Ref.
