Romans 8:35-39

Leader: 35 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? 

ALL: 37 No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us. 

Leader: 38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. 

ALL: Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—

Leader: not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love.

ALL: 39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below, nothing in all creation will ever separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Adapted from Revelation 4:2, 6, 8-11

Pastor: At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the throne. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, and day and night they never cease to say,

All: “Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Pastor: And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,

All: “Worthy are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.”

1 Corinthians 12:1–28

Leader: 6 God works in different ways, but it is the same God who does the work in all of us. 

ALL: 7 A spiritual gift is given to each of us so we can help each other. 

Leader: 12 The human body has many parts, but the many parts make up one whole body. So it is with the body of Christ.  

ALL: 21 The eye can never say to the hand, “I don’t need you.” The head can’t say to the feet, “I don’t need you.” 

Leader: 25 This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other. 

26 If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. 

ALL: 27 All of us together are Christ’s body. Each of us are a part of Christ’s Church!
