Call to Worship
The Lord who calls us to worship him today
is the same Jesus who refused the temptation to worship the evil one.
Rather than receive the glorious kingdoms of this world,
he endured the shame of the cross,
and today is Lord of lords and King of kings.
Now are gathered in him all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge, glory and power.
With the saints of all ages we say
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"
—Revelation 5:12 NIV
