Welcome
Welcome to the online worship service at Internet Church Of Christ.
Here is
a good place to worship our
Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. You are invited and are welcome at any
time.
Hello Beloved,
If you have the Holy Spirit of Jesus abiding within you, then you are
able to endure all trials, blessed with the peace which surpasses all
understanding. If not, you remain deprived of the many blessings the
Lord
has waiting for you.
If you have not yet accepted Jesus as your personal Lord and
Saviour, you have the opportunity to do that right now by

Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.

BREATHE ON ME, BREATH OF GOD - by Edwin Hatch (1835-1889)
Public Domain
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Fill me with life anew,
That I may love what Thou dost love,
And do what Thou wouldst do.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Until my heart is pure,
Until my will is one with Thine,
To do and to endure.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
Till I am wholly Thine,
Until this earthly part of me
Glows with Thy fire divine.
Breathe on me, Breath of God,
So shall I never die,
But live with Thee the perfect life
Of Thine eternity.
Amen.
O Lord, we come together in Your name,
And as You promised, we know You are here.
AND SO WE WELCOME YOU WITH OPEN ARMS,
AND PRAY THAT YOU FIND PLEASURE HERE WITH US,
AS WE, YOUR LOVING CHILDREN WORSHIP YOU.
We now invite You to reveal Yourself,
And share with us Your presence, openly,
FOR YOU ARE EVERYTHING THAT WE DESIRE,
AND EVERYTHING WE HAVE, WE GIVE TO YOU.
In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.
The Lord, Himself, taught us to pray like this . . .
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 trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Source: Book Of Common Prayer, based on
Matthew 6:9-13
This historic affirmation of faith comes to us from the early
centuries of the Christian church.
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;
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again 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 holy catholic church; *
The communion of saints;
The forgiveness of sins;
The resurrection of the body;
And the life everlasting.
Amen.
* Note: "catholic church" here means the entire body of
believers in Christ, not just one particular church.
Scriptures And Teachings
Christian Writers Should Write New Treasures, Not
Merely Recycle The old Ones
This is the meaning Of Matthew 13:52
There is an interesting little verse in the Bible that doesn't really
seem
to fit in any particular place: Matthew 13:52 . . .
"Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which
is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto
a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth
out of his treasure things new and old." (Matthew
13:52 KJV)
A clearer reading would be . . .
"He said to them, Therefore every writer
who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven
is like the owner of a house who brings
both new things and old things from his
storeroom."
<><
Christian writers are the scribes who have been instructed about the
Kingdom of Heaven. Our storeroom is the Word of God, in the Bible and
in
our hearts. The Lord expects us to bring forth new treasure from our
storeroom,
not merely recycle the old treasures we have always used.
This idea is what the Bible means when it says, "sing a
new song" to the Lord.
(See Bible search results for
new song)
Blessings to you in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Prayer For You To Pray, Yourself
"Go Ahead And Give Yourself To Christ"
NOTE: When you read this prayer, try to imagine hearing my voice as I
speak it to you. In this way, the prayer is reactivated, and it
the same as if I were actually praying for you at that moment.
(Just like television prayers are reactivated when you watch
them, although the videotape may have been shot years before.)
Perhaps you are a Christian even now,
You go to church and try to do your best,
You try to put His teachings in your life,
But still you do not feel that He is yours.
You do not feel the closeness that you crave.
If this is you, then say this prayer with me:
* * *
O Lord, I want you closer in my life,
I want you more to be a part of me.
I want the best relationship with you,
That anyone on earth could ever have.
I know that, "as we give, we shall receive,"
And so I now do give myself to you,
In full completeness, holding nothing back.
I'm yours, so you may use me as you will,
And take whatever things you want from me.
And now that I did give myself to you,
I pray that you will give yourself to me,
As bridegroom gives himself to his new bride.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.

"I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them
out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and
Lebanon; and place shall not be found for them. And he shall pass
through
the sea with affliction, and shall smite
the waves in the sea, and all the deeps of the river shall dry
up: and
the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the sceptre of Egypt
shall depart away. And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they
shall walk up and
down in his name, saith the LORD."

Zechariah 10:10-12 (KJV)
DEEP RIVER - Classic American Spiritual Song - Anonymous, Public Domain
Deep river,
My home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
O don't you want to go
To that gospel feast,
That promised land
Where all is peace?
O don't you want to go
To that promised land,
That land where all is peace?
Deep river,
My home is over Jordan.
Deep river, Lord,
I want to cross over into campground.
