Before Beginning: This is an outline for a home-church service. Feel free to use it as you wish. Encourage other local neighbors and friends to join you and have a fellowship meal following or between services. Before beginning, ensure that all members of the household are dressed and prepared as if a "king" was going to enter your home, simply to show respect unto our Lord and Savior. Women dress modestly, head covered and feminine. Men dressed in clean and neat attire. This church service is designed for those who are persecuted, do not feel the moral conditions of the local churches are scriptural, disabled, isolated, large family, work obligations, slavery, maternity conditions and any other interested persons may listen and participate in the service. We encourage you to hold a family integrated service and not to segregate based on age, race or former religious convictions. To accommodate singles and provide a singing atmosphere, you may separate males and females. If a fellowship with other believers is not available through this service, I encourage you to visit a local independent bible believing congregation as you are able.
If you would like you may add candles, communion or other elements or nothing at all in a plain space. It is up to you to decorate or not decorate. It is up to the individual church body to acknowledge deacons, pastor, speaker, elders and other leaders as well as level of discipline.
If some of sounds or videos do not work you may read those portions OUT-LOUD if they are accessible. This service is in English and only uses KJV of the bible for scriptural reference. All portions of scripture are chosen at random (to recognize that all people have "no knowledge" and need further study of scripture) except on biblical acknowledged holidays. The more you, the visitor, participates and focuses in the service, the more enjoyable it will be. The more mere observation and alternative attention or scorn, you the visitor, participates in, the less satisfying it will become.
This service is LONGER than the usual one-hour service (four or more hours) to acknowledge greater need to understand scripture. You may use this service on any day of the week as you would like.
The Sermon and links to outside reference may or may not coordinate with scripture. The speaker may or may not have hidden sins like child-perversions, adultery, profanity, plagiarism, spiritual abuse and so on. If I don't know them face to face on a regular basis I cannot judge this for you. I may or may not agree with all information presented by speaker. Please use for your information only.

First Song:

I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
1 I heard the voice of Jesus say
Come unto Me and rest;
Lay down, thou weary one, lay down
Thy head upon My breast.
I came to Jesus as I was,
Weary, and worn, and sad;
I found in Him a resting-place,
And He has made me glad.
2 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down and drink, and live.
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in Him.
3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,
I am this dark world's light;
Look unto Me, thy morn shall rise,
And all thy day be bright.
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In Him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till travelling days are done.

Second Song:

Wonderful Peace
Far away in the depths of my spirit tonight
Rolls a melody sweeter than psalm;
In celestial strains it unceasingly falls
O’er my soul like an infinite calm.
Refrain
Peace, peace, wonderful peace,
Coming down from the Father above!
Sweep over my spirit forever, I pray
In fathomless billows of love!
What a treasure I have in this wonderful peace,
Buried deep in the heart of my soul,
So secure that no power can mine it away,
While the years of eternity roll!
Refrain
I am resting tonight in this wonderful peace,
Resting sweetly in Jesus’ control;
For I’m kept from all danger by night and by day,
And His glory is flooding my soul!
Refrain
And I think when I rise to that city of peace,
Where the Anchor of peace I shall see,
That one strain of the song which the ransomed will sing
In that heavenly kingdom will be:
Refrain
Ah, soul! are you here without comfort and rest,
Marching down the rough pathway of time?
Make Jesus your Friend ere the shadows grow dark;
O accept of this peace so sublime!

Shall we Meet Beyond the River
Shall we meet beyond the river,
Where the surges cease to roll?
Where in all the bright forever,
Sorrow ne’er shall press the soul?
Refrain
Shall we meet, shall we meet,
Shall we meet beyond the river?

When our stormy voyage is o’er?
Shall we meet and cast the anchor
By the fair, celestial shore?

Shall we meet in yonder city,
Where the towers or crystal shine?
Where the walls are all of jasper,
Built by workmanship divine?

And sit down upon His throne?

The Solid Rock (My Hope is Built)
"The Solid Rock"
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
(I'm leanin' on Jesus)
(I'm leanin' on Jesus, Jesus)
(I'm leanin' on You)
When darkness fails, His lovely face
I rest on His unchanging grace
(Every high and stormy gale)
In every high and stormy gale
(My anchor holds within the veil)
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
(All other ground is sinking, sinking)
(All other ground is sinking, sinking sand)
His oath, His covenant, His blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my Hope and Stay
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
A sign of love
When He shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then, in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness, alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
On Christ, the solid rock, I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
No other, I'm leanin' on Jesus
All other ground is sinking sand
Hold me in, I'm leanin' on Jesus
All other ground is sinking sand
'Cause on a rock, I stand

Safe in the arms of Jesus
- Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
Hark! ’tis a song of heaven
Borne in the sweetest voice,
Echoed by saints in spirit,
Making my heart rejoice.
- Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe on His gentle breast,
There by His love o’ershaded,
Sweetly my soul doth rest.
- Safe in the arms of Jesus,
Safe from corroding care,
Safe from the world’s temptations,
Sin cannot harm me there.
Free from the blight of sorrow,
Free from my doubts and fears;
Only a few more trials,
Only a few more tears.
- Jesus, my heart’s dear Refuge,
Jesus has died for me;
Firm on the Rock of Ages
Ever my trust shall be.
Here let me wait with patience,
Wait till the night is o’er,
Wait till I see the morning
Break on the golden shore.

1. Praise to the Lord,
the Almighty, the King of creation.
O my soul, praise him,
for he is thy health and salvation!
All ye who hear,
now to his temple draw near;
join me in glad adoration!
2. (Trans. copr. 1989 by UM Publishing House)

who doth prosper thy work and defend thee;

Ponder anew
what the Almighty can do,
who with his love doth befriend thee.

O let all that is in me adore him!
All that hath life and breath,
come now with praises before him!
Let the amen sound from his people again;
gladly forever adore him.
