Prelude Hymn of Promise
Hymn 89 Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee
(vs 1,2,3)
Call to Worship based on Acts 4:1-12
Leader: Gathered here, we draw inspiration from the boldness of the apostles, who fearlessly proclaimed the risen Lord.
People: Their courage, rooted in the truth of Christ’s resurrection, challenges us to speak with the same conviction.
Leader: They stood firm, asserting, “This Jesus is the stone that was rejected by you, the builders, it has become the cornerstone.”
People: In his resurrection, we find not just a cornerstone, but the very essence of our hope and salvation.
Leader: “There is no other name under heaven given among mortals by which we must be saved.”
People: Empowered by this truth, we worship Jesus Christ, risen and reigning, the basis of our faith and our proclamation.
Leader: Let our voices rise in praise of the One who was raised from the dead, emboldening us to declare the wonders of His love.
All: In the power of His name, we stand together, bold and resolute, to celebrate the life and victory of our risen Lord!
