* CALL TO WORSHIP
Minister:
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord!” Our feet have been
standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!
People:
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper
in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
Minister:
For the sake of the house of the Lord our God; I will seek your good.
People:
They are planted in the house of the Lord; they flourish in the courts of our God.
Minister:
O Lord, I love the habitation of your house, and the place where your glory dwells.
People:
But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.
Minister:
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock, and my Redeemer.
O sing to the Lord a new song, for he has done marvelous things! I will sing of loyalty and of justice, to
you, O Lord, I will sing.
People:
HYMN OF PRAISE
AMEC HYMN #75 — JOYFUL, JOYFUL, WE ADORE THEE
1. Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, Opening
to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness; Drive the dark of doubt away; Giver of immortal
gladness, Fill us with the light of day!
2. All thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays, Stars and angels sing around
Thee, Center of unbroken praise; Field and forest, vale and mountain, Flowery meadow, flashing sea,
Chanting bird and flowing fountain, Call us to rejoice in Thee.
3. Thou art giving and forgiving, Ever blessing ever blest, Well spring of the joy of living, Ocean depth of
happy rest! Thou our Father, Christ our brother, All who live in love are Thine; Teach us how to love each
other, Lift us to the joy divine.
4. Mortals join the mighty chorus, Which the morning stars began; Father love is reigning o’er us, Brother
love binds man to man. Ever singing, marching onward, Victors in the midst of strife; Joyful music
leads us sunward In the triumph song of life. Amen.

Minister:
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, 36"Therefore
let the entire house of Israel know with certainty that God has made him both Lord and
Messiah, this Jesus whom you crucified."

BIG BETHEL A.M.E. CHURCH
THE RESPONSIVE SCRIPTURE (CONTINUED)
People: 37 Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and to the other apostles,
"Brothers, what should we do?" 38 Peter said to them, "Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven; and you will receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.
Minister: 39 For the promise is for you, for your children, and for all who are far away, everyone whom the
Lord our God calls to him." 40 And he testified with many other arguments and exhorted
them, saying, "Save yourselves from this corrupt generation."
All:
41
So those who welcomed his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand
persons were added.
*PREFACE TO THE DECALOGUE
(IN THE TUNE OF #258)
“FROM ALL THAT DWELL BELOW THE SKIES, LET THE CREATOR’S PRAISE ARISE; LET THE
REDEEMER’S NAME BE SUNG, THROUGH EVERY LAND BY EVERY TONGUE.”

INVITATION TO CHRISTIAN DISCIPLESHIP
PRAYER OF SALVATION
Dear Lord, I recognize that I am a sinner. Lord, I am sorry for my sins, and I am ready to change my life. I accept your forgiveness. I confess with my mouth that you are Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised
you from the dead; therefore, according to the word I am saved. The Bible says “if any person be in Christ he
or she is a new creation, the old is passed away and behold all things become new.” Lord, I thank you for my
salvation.
†AFFIRMATION OF
FAITH
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ His only son our Lord
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified,
dead; and buried. The third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand
of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy
Spirit, the Church Universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and
the life everlasting. Amen.

JESUS SAVES
THE GENERAL CONFESSION
Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all people, we acknowledge
and bewail our manifold sin and wickedness which we from time to time most grievously have committed
by thought, word and deed against Your divine Majesty, provoking most justly Your wrath and indignation
against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of
them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son
our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and
please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Your name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

- Hearing God’s Word in the Sermon –
Since we forget 90% of what we hear, it has been suggested that note taking will
double the percentage of our take home response. Why not try it and see?
