Leader: 2 And I saw what looked like a sea of glass glowing with fire and, standing beside the sea, those who had been victorious over the beast and its image and over the number of its name. They held harps given them by God 3 and sang the song of God’s servant Moses and of the Lamb:
ALL: Great and amazing are your deeds,
O Lord God Almighty!
Just and true are your ways,
O King of the nations!
4 Who will not fear, O Lord,
and glorify your name?
For you alone are holy.
All nations will come and worship you,
for your righteous acts have been revealed.

Leader: Brothers and sisters, Christ himself has brought peace to us!
ALL: Jesus has united Jews and Gentiles into one people. His broken body on the cross broke down the wall of hostility between people.
Leader: 15 He fulfilled the commandments of God perfectly, freeing us from the burden of the law.
ALL: 16 By trusting in Christ’s death on the cross, we can have peace with God and also with one another.
Leader: 17 He brought this Good News of peace to you who were far away from him, and peace to those who were near.
ALL: 18 Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.
Leader: 19 So now you are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.
ALL: 20 Together, we are his house, and the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself. 21 We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord! Now, let us worship Him with joy and thanksgiving!

Leader: If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
ALL: 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
Leader: 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing.
ALL: 4 Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
Leader: 6 Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
ALL: 7 Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Praise to the Father of our Lord Jesus:
For He rescued us from the kingdom of darkness,
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,
Praise to Christ
in whom we have freedom and forgiveness of sins.
We lift up the name of Jesus
for He is the image of the invisible God,
the firstborn of all creation.
By Him all things were created,
both in the heavens and on earth,
visible and invisible,
including thrones and kingdoms,
rulers and authorities,
everything was created through him and for him.
We praise Jesus as our Lord.
He existed before anything else,
and he holds all creation together.
Christ is also head of the Body, the church;
through him God made peace
with everything in heaven and on earth
through Christ’s blood on the cross.
Therefore Jesus is always first in our hearts,
We value and worship Him above everything else!
Amen
