Lets all sing: SASB 821!
We're an Army fighting for a glorious King!
We will make the world with Hallelujahs ring;
With victorious voices we will ever sing:
There's salvation for the world.
For the world, for the world, Jesus died, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.
We're an Army brave, arrayed in armour bright;
We will turn the world from darkness into light;
As we march along we'll shout with all our might:
There's salvation for the world.
For the world, for the world, Jesus dies, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.
We're an Army saved, by blood and fire made strong;
And with righteousness we mean to conquer wrong;
This shall be our universal battle song:
There's salvation for the world.
For the world, for the world, Jesus dies, Jesus died,
For the world, for the world, there is room at Jesus' side.
All the world to save, to battle we will go,
And we ever will our colours boldly show,
With a trumpet voice we'll let the millions know
There's salvation for the world.
Prayer time:
Our Father in heaven
Hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom comes
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day our daily bread
Forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin against us,
And lead us not into temptation, but deliever us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory
For ever and ever
Amen.
Bible reading: Matthew 25:31-40
MT 25:31 "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
MT 25:34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'
MT 25:37 "Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'
MT 25:40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'
The message:
Let get out there and feed Jesus, give Jesus a drink, visit Jesus and clothe Jesus. Not by in our own strength, but by His spirit,
Final Song: SASB 512
My life must be Christ's broken bread,
My love his outpoured wine
A cup o'erfilled, a table spread
Beneath his name and sign,
That other souls, refreshed and fed,
MAy share his life through mine.
My all is in my Master's hands
For him to bless and break;
Beyond the brook his winepress stands
And thence my way to take,
Resolved the whole of love's demands
To give, for his dear sake.
Lord let me share that grace of thine
Wherewith thou didst sustain
The burden of the fruitful vine,
The gift of buried grain.
Who dies with thee, O word divine,
Shall rise again with thee.
A blessing: Sasb 955
Jesus so dear to us
Jesus, be near to us
Jesus give ear to us
Each as we pray;
Jesus, whate'er betide,
Jesus, be friend and guide,
Jesus, be by our side
Now and for aye.
