Scriptures on Weakness


Monday
Romans 6:19
I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves of uncleanness, and of lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves of righteousness for holiness.
Tuesday
Romans 8:26
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Wednesday
1 Corinthians 1:25
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
Thursday
2 Corinthians 12:9
And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Friday
2 Corinthians 13:4
For though He was crucified in weakness, yet He lives by the power of God. For we also are weak in Him, but we shall live with Him by the power of God toward you.
Saturday
1 Corinthians 2:3
I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling.

Holy Communion

CONGREGATION: Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, who of thy great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto thee, have mercy upon us; pardon and deliver us from all our sins; confirm our faith and strengthen us in all goodness; and bring us to everlasting life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid, cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name. It is our bounden duty that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee.

MINISTER: Jesus Christ, who in the same night that he was betrayed took bread and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to his disciples saying, Take, eat; this is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me. Likewise after supper he took the cup; and when he had given thanks he gave it to them saying, Drink ye all of it, for this is my blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins; do this, as often as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. Amen

Minister and Congregation

When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not shouting "I'm clean livin'."
I'm whispering "I was lost, Now I'm found and forgiven."
When I say..."I am a Christian" I don't speak of this with pride.
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not trying to be strong.
I'm professing that I'm weak And need His strength to carry on.
When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not bragging of success.
I'm admitting I have failed And need God to clean my mess.
When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not claiming to be perfect,
My flaws are far too visible But, God believes I am worth it.
When I say..."I am a Christian" I still feel the sting of pain.
I have my share of heartaches So I call upon His name.
When I say..."I am a Christian" I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner Who received God's good grace, somehow!
