8. And God Himself will be with them and will be their God.
THE CALL TO WORSHIP
(Pastor / CONGREGATION)
(From Revelation 21:3; 22:3-5)
Now the dwelling place of God is with humankind, and God will live with them.
THEY WILL BE HIS PEOPLE,
And God Himself will be with them
and will be their God.
NO LONGER WILL THERE BE
ANY CURSE.

9. WILL BE IMPRINTED ON THEM. There will be no night there.
The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and His saints will serve Him.
THEY WILL SEE HIS FACE,
AND HIS NAME
WILL BE IMPRINTED ON THEM.
There will be no night there.
THEY WILL NOT NEED THE LIGHT OF A LAMP OR THE LIGHT OF THE SUN,

10. for the Lord God will give them light.
AND THEY WILL REIGN
FOR EVER AND EVER.

11. [ All who are able please stand ]
THE OPENING HYMN:
#769
O THAT WILL BE
GLORY FOR ME
[ All who are able please stand ]

12. I shall look on His face, That will be glory, be glory for me.
(1)
When all my labors and trials are o’er, And I am safe on that beautiful shore, Just to be near the dear Lord I adore, Will through the ages be glory for me.
Oh, that will be glory for me, Glory for me, glory for me, When by His grace
I shall look on His face, That will be glory, be glory for me.

13. (2)
When, by the gift of His infinite grace, I am accorded in heaven a place, Just to be there and to look on His face, Will through the ages be glory for me.
Oh, that will be glory for me, Glory for me, glory for me, When by His grace
I shall look on His face, That will be glory, be glory for me.

14. (3)
Friends will be there I have loved long ago; Joy like a river around me will flow; Yet just a smile from my Savior, I know, Will through the ages be glory for me.
Oh, that will be glory for me, Glory for me, glory for me, When by His grace
I shall look on His face, That will be glory, be glory for me.

THE ASSURANCE OF PARDON
1 Peter 1:3-4
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade, kept in heaven for you.

16. “Heaven Medley” THE CHANCEL CHOIR Donna Brown, Director
Pat Woods, Accompanist

18. THE NEW TESTAMENT SCRIPTURE:
Revelation 21:1-7
Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and He will dwell with them.

19. They will be his people, and God Himself will be with them and will be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” He who was seated on the high place said, “Behold, I am making everything new!” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. Those who are victorious will inherit all this, and I will be their God and they will be My children.

23. WHERE IS HEAVEN? WHAT IS HEAVEN?  Is it a place?
 Is it a state of mind?
 Is it a different dimension of living?
 Is it nearby?
 Is it far away in some distant galaxy?
 Could it be wherever God is?
 Could it be all around us right here?

29. “OUR FATHER WHO ART IN HEAVEN”
SO WHERE IS HEAVEN?
The Bible certainly describes the spiritual realm of heaven as a place but, at the same time, the Bible tells us that Heaven is wherever God is which is all around us, within us, and beyond us.
(See 1 Cor. 13:12 & 1 John 3:2)
“OUR FATHER
WHO ART IN HEAVEN”

30. The Pastoral Prayer and The Lord’s Prayer
OUR FATHER, WHO ART IN HEAVEN,
HALLOWED BE THY NAME.
THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE,
ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN.
GIVE US THIS DAY OUR DAILY BREAD,
AND FORGIVE US OUR DEBTS AS WE FORGIVE OUR DEBTORS;
AND LEAD US NOT INTO TEMPTATION
BUT DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM,
AND THE POWER, AND THE GLORY FOREVER
AMEN.

1- There’s a land that is fairer than day,
And by faith we can see it afar;

To prepare us a dwelling place there.

We shall meet on that beautiful shore.

The melodious songs of the blest;
And our spirits shall sorrow no more
Not a sigh for the blessing of rest.
