INVITATION TO DISCIPLESHIP

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am

Gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."

Matthew 11: 28 - 30 (NKJV)

PASTORAL REMARKS

BENEDICTION

4

The New Priestly Service 1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying:

We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right

hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a

Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle

which the Lord erected, and not man. 3 For every high

priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices.

Therefore it is necessary that this One also have

something to offer. 4 For if He were on earth, He would

not be a priest, since there are priests who offer the gifts

according to the law; 5 who serve the copy and shadow of

the heavenly things, as Moses was divinely instructed

when he was about to make the tabernacle. For He

said, “See that you make all things according to the

pattern shown you on the mountain.” 6 But now He has

obtained a more excellent ministry, inasmuch as He is

also Mediator of a better covenant, which was

established on better promises.

SCRIPTURE Hebrews 8:1-6 (NKJV)

LEADER: This is the Word of God

CONGREGATION: Thanks Be Unto God

CHURCH COVENANT LEADER: Having been led, as we believe, by the Spirit of God to receive the LORD Jesus Christ as our Savior; and on the profession of our faith we do now in the presence of God, angels, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully renew this covenant with one another as one body in Christ. CONG: We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit, to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this church in knowledge and holiness; to give it a place in our affections, prayers and services above every other organization of human origin. LEADER: To contribute cheerfully and regularly as God has prospered us, toward the support of the ministry, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the Gospel throughout the world. CONG: We also engage to maintain family and secret devotion; to study the word of God; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintance. LEADER: To walk circumspectly in the world; to be just in our dealings, faithful in our service. CONG: We further engage to watch over, to pray for, to exhort each other unto every good word and work; to guard each other’s reputation, not needlessly exposing the infirmities of others; to participate in each other’s joys, bear one another’s sorrows; and to cultivate Christian courtesy; LEADER: To be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation, being mindful of the rules of the Savior to secure it without delay. ALL: When we remove from this place, we engage as soon as possible to unite with some other church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.

Every Christian should strive to learn how to be a cheerful giver. When we give what does it actually mean? It simply means we cheerfully give back to God our tithes and offerings.
