Morning Worship Service

Pakinggan natin ang panawagan sa atin ng Diyos upang Siya’y sambahin. Ating basahin ang Psalms 147:1–5.

Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and lovely to praise Him!Congr:The Lord builds up Jerusalem; He gathers the exiles of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; He calls them each by name. Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; His understanding has no limit.

Matapos tayong tawagin ng ating Panginoon upang sambahin Siya, dapat nating makita na tayo ay nangangailangan ng Kanyang buháy na Espiritu upang tayo’y makapaghandog ng katanggap-tanggap na pagsamba. Tayo’y manawagan sa Diyos sa mga salitang ito mula sa Psalms 90:16–17:

May Your work be shown to Your servants, and Your splendor to their children.Congr:May the favor of the Lord our God rest upon us; establish for us the work of our hand —yes, establish the work of our hands!

Sa tulong ng buháy na Espiritu ng Diyos, tayo’y magpuri sa ating Diyos na Trinidad. Ating awitin ang Psalm 2.

Matapos tayong magbigay ng papuri at pagsamba sa isang Diyos na buhay at banal sa pamamagitan ng isang awitin, atin namang iharap ang ating mga sarili sa Kanyang kautusan. Ito ang sinasabi ng Salita ng Diyos <Exodus 20:1–17>:

And God spoke all these words: I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 1 You shall have no other gods before Me. 2 You shall not make for yourself an idol. 3 You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain. 4 Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. 5 Honor your father and mother. 6 You shall not murder. 7 You shall not commit adultery. 8 You shall not steal. 9 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 10 You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbor.

Nasaksihan natin ang kabanalan at kadakilan ng Diyos sa Kanyang mga salmo at sa Kanyang kautusan. Ngayo’y tinatawag naman tayo upang magsisi sa ating mga kasalanan. Pakinggan natin ang panawagan sa atin sa 1 John 1:8–9.

If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Mga kapatid at mga minamahal, ating sabay-sabay ihayag ang ating mga kasalanan sa Diyos:

O merciful God and Father, we humble ourselves before You, for we have terribly sinned against You. We often fail to do what You command, and often do that which You forbid. We all like sheep have gone astray; we have turned everyone to his own way. We acknowledge our depravity, and are heartily sorry for all our sins. Nevertheless, O gracious Father, we know that Your mercy toward those who turn to You is infinite; and so we take courage to call upon You from the depths of our hearts, trusting in our Mediator Jesus Christ for our salvation. Have compassion on us and forgive us all our sins for Christ’s sake, for the glory of Your Name. Amen.

Bilang tugon sa kaligtasan na mayroon kay Cristo Jesus, ating awitin ang “O Come, O Come Emmanuel.”

Matapos nating ihayag ang ating mga sala sa isang banal na Diyos, atin namang pakinggan ang Kanyang salita na nagpapakita ng katiyakan ng pagpapatawad ng isang maawain at mapagbiyayang Diyos.

It is the Lord Jesus Christ who gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father. He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By His stripes you are healed.”

Min:Do you believe this gospel?Congr:We do.Min:Then, by the authority of Christ’s Word, as you testify to your own belief in the gospel, the Scripture declares to you that your sins are forgiven, and you are no longer under the condemnation of God. In the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.Congr:Amen.

Tayo po ay manalangin.

Bilang paghahanda sa pangangaral ng Salita ng Diyos, ating awitin ang Psalm 119:33–40. Ito ang sinasabi ng [Scripture]:

Matapos nating marinig ang pangangaral ng Salita ng Diyos na mamuhay bilang mga Kristiyano ayon sa Espiritu, ating awitin ang “Onward Christian Soldiers” bilang tugon.

Ano ang ating paniniwala at dapat paniwalaan?

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by 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, He is seated at the right hand of the Father. and 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.

Bilang bahagi ng ating pagsamba sa ating Diyos na buháy, tayo ay magkakaloob. Sa sulat ni Apostol Pablo sa 2 Corinthians 9:7–8, makikita natin ang pangako ng Diyos sa mga nagkakaloob para sa gawain ng Panginoon:

Each one should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of regret or compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.

Habang tayo’y nagkakaloob, ating sariwain ang mga kabutihan ng Diyos sa atin sa pamamagitan ng Now Thank We All Our God.

Matapos nating makita ang pagliligtas ng Diyos at marinig ang Kanyang Salita, ano ang nararapat nating tugon?

Tanggapin natin ang basbas mula sa Jude 1:24–25:

Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you unblemished in His glorious presence, with great joy— to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority through Jesus Christ our Lord before all time, and now, and for all eternity.
