WE GO WORSHIPPING GOD

*Testimony of Faith: Our World Belongs to God #24

“As the second Adam, Jesus chose the path we had rejected.
In his baptism and temptations, teaching and miracles, battles with demons and friendship with sinners, Jesus lived a full and righteous human life before us.
As God’s true Son, he lovingly obeyed the Father and made present in deed and word the coming rule of God.”

Closing Song: Hear the Call of the Kingdom
