Invocation
 
Declaration of Truth                  
Ephesians 6:10-18
Leader:  Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.
 
All:  For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.
 
Leader:  Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace.
 
All: In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,  praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.
To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints...
 
Hymn of Praise                              
Only A Holy God

Who else commands all the hosts of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a Holy God
 
What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God
 
Chorus:
Come and behold him the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy forever a Holy God
Come and worship the Holy God
 
What other glory consumes like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a Holy God
 
Chorus
 
Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer his only Son?
Who else invites me to call him Father?
Only a Holy God
Only my Holy God

He is the light that shines among us; he is the one who guides our way.

The Doxology and Prayer
Praise God from whom all blessings flow. Praise him,  all creatures here below.
Praise him above, ye heavenly host.   Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.
 
Hymn of Testimony                    
Soldiers of Christ Arise                                    

Soldiers of Christ, arise, and put your armor on,
Strong in the strength which God supplies through his Eternal Son.
Strong in the Lord of hosts, and in his mighty pow'r,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts is more than conqueror.
 
Stand then in his great might, with all his strength endued;
But take, to arm you for the fight, the panoply of God.
Leave no unguarded place, no weakness of the soul;
Take ev'ry virtue, ev'ry grace, and fortify the whole.
 
To keep your armor bright, attend with constant care;
Still walking in your Captain's sight, and watching unto prayer.
From strength to strength go on; wrestle and fight and pray;
Tread all the pow'rs of darkness down, and win the well-fought day.
 
Proclaiming the Word of God
 
Reading of God’s Word

Hymn of Response          
Blessing and Honor and Glory

Blessing and honor and glory and power,
Wisdom and riches and strength evermore
Give ye to him who our battle hath won
Whose are the kingdom, the crown, and the throne.
 
Soundeth the heaven of the heavens with his Name;
Ringeth the earth with his glory and fame;
Ocean and mountain, stream, forest, and flower
Echo his praises and tell of his power.
 
Ever ascendeth the song and the joy;
Ever descendeth the love from on high;
Blessing and honor and glory and praise,
This is the theme of the hymns that we raise.
 
Give we the glory and praise to the Lamb;
Take we the robe and the harp and the palm;
Sing we the song of the Lamb that was slain,
Dying in weakness, but rising to reign.
 
The Benediction and Threefold Amen
