Call to Worship                             

We have come as the body of Christ to do Holy business for our King. We have come in troubled times, but we have high spirits.  We know the  Eternal One is still on the throne.  Saints, lift up holy hands, lift high your voices and praise the Sovereign One.  Mighty is our God, holy are His judgments, and He is altogether lovely.  Praise Him!  Praise Him!  Praise Him!

“That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that

God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.”   Romans 10:9

                        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I Cor. 11:18-34  (Scripture Reading) 

 For first of all, when ye come together in the church, I hear that there be divisions among you; and I partly believe it.

¹⁹ For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.

²⁰ When ye come together therefore into one place, this is not to eat the Lord's supper.

²¹ For in eating every one taketh before other his own supper: and one is hungry, and another is drunken.

²² What? have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? or despise ye the church of God, and shame them that have not? what shall I say to you? shall I praise you in this? I praise you not.

²³ For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

²⁴ And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

²⁵ After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

²⁶ For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

²⁷ Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

²⁸ But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

²⁹ For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

³⁰ For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

³¹ For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

³² But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

³³ Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

³⁴ And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.

“God’s Strength & Power”

Lord, lift me up today, help me to rise and stand.
Release into my life the power in Your hand.

Make my mind stronger, renew Your peace in my soul.
Remind me You are the One Who is always in control.

Reinforce into my life, the power that dwells inside.
Remind me You’re the One . . . Who in my heart resides.

Lord, lift me up today, help me to rise above . . .
Make me stronger, Lord, in the power of Your love!

Philippians 4:13

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Sunday Morning Worship 7/5/26

Text:   Hebrews 10:23-25

Title:  “Online Service vs Church Attendance”

Five reasons why you shouldn’t choose online service over corporate worship:

I. You need corporate encouragement to persevere

II. You need corporate empowerment by the Spirit

III. You need corporate assurance of salvation

IV. You need corporate growth in Christ

V. You need corporate communion with God

2026 Church Theme:

“Lord, show us Your Glory”

Ex. 33:18
