MORNI NG SESSION



Song 77 Light in a Darkened World

(2 Corinthians 4:6)

1. In these days, dark and lawless days, Shines a light we can see.

Like the dawn of another day That will soon come to be.

(chorus)

Shining through the darkness, Ours is a message so bright.

It offers hope and light— Sparkling like the daylight,

Bringing tomorrow in sight— So ends the night.

2. Those who sleep need awakening

As the time ebbs away. We give hope and encouragement.

For their future we’ll pray. (chorus)

Song 76

How Does It Make You Feel? (Hebrews 13:15)

1. How does it make you feel when you preach and teach with zeal,

When you know you’ve done your part to reach an honest heart? Knowing you’ve done your best; then our God will do the rest. Honest hearts he surely knows— all those to him disposed.

(chorus)

It makes us glad, and we rejoice to give our heart and mind and voice. So may our sacrifice of praise continue all our days.

2. How does it make you feel when the words you speak appeal

To the ones whose heart is right for everlasting life? Some people turn away, others might be led astray.

Still we’re glad to bear his name and witness just the same. (chorus)

3. How does it make you feel, knowing God’s support is real,

And that he’s entrusted you to do the work we do? Proudly we preach and teach, using bold but gracious speech,

Searching out deserving ones; this work will soon be done. (chorus)

11:15 DRAMATIC BIBLE READING: Jehovah Delivers His People (Exodus 3:1-22; 4:1-9; 5:1-9; 6:1-8; 7:1-7; 14:5-10, 13-31; 15:1-21) Speaker: __________________________________________________________________ (Exodus 3:1-22) Moses became a shepherd of the flock of his father-in-law Jethʹro, the priest of Midʹi·an. While he was leading the flock to the west side of the wilderness, he eventually came to the mountain of the true God, to Hoʹreb. 2 Then Jehovah’s angel appeared to him in a flame of fire in the midst of a thornbush. As he kept looking, he saw that the thornbush was on fire, and yet the thornbush was not consumed. 3 So Moses said: “I will go over to inspect this unusual sight to see why the thornbush does not burn up.” 4 When Jehovah saw that he went over to look, God called to him out of the thornbush and said: “Moses! Moses!” to which he said: “Here I am.” 5 Then he said: “Do not come any nearer. Remove your sandals from your feet, because the place where you are standing is holy ground.”6 He went on to say: “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” Then Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at the true God.7 Jehovah added: “I have certainly seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their outcry because of those who force them to work; I well know the pains they suffer.8 I will go down to rescue them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a land good and spacious, a land flowing with milk and honey, the territory of the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Amʹor·ites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites. 9 Now look! The outcry of the people of Israel has reached me, and I have seen also the harsh way that the Egyptians are oppressing them.10 Now come, I will send you to Pharʹaoh, and you will bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”11 However, Moses said to the true God: “Who am I that I should go to Pharʹaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” 12 To this he said: “I will prove to be with you, and this is the sign for you that it was I who sent you: After you have brought the people out of Egypt, you people will serve the true God on this mountain.” 13 But Moses said to the true God: “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your forefathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ What should I say to them?” 14 So God said to Moses: “I Will Become What I Choose to Become.” And he added: “This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘I Will Become has sent me to you.’” 15 Then God said once more to Moses:“This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation. 16 Now go, and gather the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘Jehovah the God of your forefathers has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and he said: “I have certainly taken notice of you and of what is being done to you in Egypt. 17 So I say, I will take you away from affliction+ at the hands of the Egyptians to the land of the Caʹnaan·ites, the Hitʹtites, the Amʹor·ites, the Perʹiz·zites, the Hiʹvites, and the Jebʹu·sites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.”’ 18 “They will certainly listen to your voice, and you will go, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you men should say to him: ‘Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has communicated with us. So, please, let us make a three-day journey into the wilderness so that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.’ 19 But I myself well know that the king of Egypt will not give you permission to go unless a mighty hand compels him. 20 So I will have to stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with all my extraordinary acts that I will do in it, and after that he will send you out. 21 And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and when you go, you will by no means go empty-

handed. 22 Each woman must ask her neighbor and the woman lodging in her house for articles of silver and of gold as well as clothing, and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; and you will plunder the Egyptians.” (Exodus 4:1-9) However, Moses answered: “But suppose they do not believe me and do not listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘Jehovah did not appear to you.’” 2 Then Jehovah said to him: “What is that in your hand?” He answered: “A rod.” 3 He said: “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it. 4 Jehovah now said to Moses: “Reach out your hand and seize it by the tail.” So he reached out and seized it, and it became a rod in his hand. 5 God then said: “This is so that they may believe that Jehovah the God of their forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.” 6 Jehovah said to him once more: “Put your hand, please, into the upper fold of your garment.” So he put his hand into the fold of his garment. When he drew it out, why, his hand was stricken with leprosy like snow! 7 Then he said: “Return your hand into the upper fold of your garment.” So he returned his hand into his garment. When he drew it out of the garment, it was restored like the rest of his flesh! 8 He said: “If they will not believe you or pay attention to the first sign, then they will certainly heed the next sign. 9 Still, even if they will not believe these two signs and refuse to listen to your voice, you will take some water from the Nile River and pour it out on the dry land, and the water that you take from the Nile will become blood on the dry land.” (Exodus 5:1-9) Afterward, Moses and Aaron went in and said to Pharʹaoh: “This is what Jehovah the God of Israel says, ‘Send my people away so that they may celebrate a festival to me in the wilderness.’” 2 But Pharʹaoh said: “Who is Jehovah, that I should obey his voice to send Israel away? I do not know Jehovah at all, and what is more, I will not send Israel away.” 3 But they said: “The God of the Hebrews has communicated with us. Please, we want to make a three-day journey into the wilderness and sacrifice to Jehovah our God; otherwise, he will strike us with disease or with the sword.” 4 The king of Egypt replied to them: “Why is it, Moses and Aaron, that you are taking the people away from their work? Return to your labor!” 5 And Pharʹaoh continued: “Look at how many people of the land there are, and you would have them rest from their labor.” 6 That same day, Pharʹaoh commanded the taskmasters and their foremen: 7 “You must no longer give straw to the people to make bricks. Let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But you must still impose on them the same quota of bricks as they made in the past. Do not reduce it for them, for they are relaxing. That is why they are crying out, ‘We want to go, we want to sacrifice to our God!’ 9 Make them work harder, and keep them busy so that they will not pay attention to lies.” (Exodus 6:1-8) So Jehovah said to Moses: “Now you will see what I will do to Pharʹaoh. A mighty hand will force him to send them away, and a mighty hand will force him to drive them out of his land.” 2 Then God said to Moses: “I am Jehovah. 3 And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but with regard to my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them. 4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Caʹnaan, the land in which they lived as foreigners. 5 Now I myself have heard the groaning of the people of Israel, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I remember my covenant. 6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and rescue you from their slavery, and I will reclaim you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 And I will take you in as my
























people, and I will be your God, and you will certainly know that I am Jehovah your God who is bringing you out from under the burdens of Egypt. 8 And I will bring you into the land that I swore with an oath to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as something to possess. I am Jehovah.’” (Exodus 7:1-7) Jehovah then said to Moses: “See, I have made you like God to Pharʹaoh, and Aaron your own brother will become your prophet. 2 You are to repeat everything that I will command you, and Aaron your brother will speak to Pharʹaoh, and he will send the Israelites away from his land. 3 As for me, I will allow Pharʹaoh’s heart to become obstinate, and I will multiply my signs and my miracles in the land of Egypt. 4 But Pharʹaoh will not listen to you, and I will lay my hand upon Egypt and bring my multitudes, my people, the Israelites, out of the land of Egypt with great judgments. 5 And the Egyptians will certainly know that I am Jehovah when I stretch out my hand against Egypt and bring the Israelites out from among them.” 6 Moses and Aaron did what Jehovah had commanded them; they did just so. 7 Moses was 80 years old and Aaron was 83 years old when they spoke to Pharʹaoh. (Exodus 14:5-10) Later it was reported to the king of Egypt that the people had run away. Immediately, Pharʹaoh and his servants had a change of heart regarding the people, and they said: “Why did we do this and release Israel from serving as slaves for us?” 6 So he made his war chariots ready, and he took his people with him. 7 He took 600 chosen chariots and all the other chariots of Egypt, with warriors on every one of them. 8 Thus Jehovah allowed the heart of Pharʹaoh king of Egypt to become obstinate, and he chased after the Israelites, while the Israelites were going out with confidence. 9 The Egyptians chased after them, and all the chariot horses of Pharʹaoh and his cavalrymen and his army were catching up with them while they were camping by the sea, by Pi·ha·hiʹroth, facing Baʹal-zeʹphon.10 When Pharʹaoh got closer, the Israelites raised their eyes and saw the Egyptians pursuing them. The Israelites became terrified and began to cry out to Jehovah. (Exodus 14:13-31) Then Moses said to the people: “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and see the salvation of Jehovah that he will perform for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you will never ever see again. 14 Jehovah himself will fight for you, and you will keep silent.”15 Jehovah now said to Moses: “Why do you keep crying out to me? Tell the Israelites that they should break camp. 16 As for you, lift up your rod and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it, so that the Israelites may go through the midst of the sea on dry ground. 17 As for me, I am allowing the hearts of the Egyptians to become obstinate, so that they will go in after them; thus I will glorify myself by means of Pharʹaoh and all his army, his war chariots, and his cavalrymen. 18 And the Egyptians will certainly know that I am Jehovah when I glorify myself by means of Pharʹaoh, his war chariots, and his cavalrymen.” 19 Then the angel of the true God who was going ahead of the camp of Israel departed and went to their rear, and the pillar of cloud that was in front of them moved to the rear and stood behind them. 20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. On the one side, it was a dark cloud. On the other side, it was lighting up the night. So the one camp did not come near the other camp all night long.21 Moses now stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah drove the sea back with a strong east wind all night long, turning the sea basin into dry ground, and the waters divided. 22 So the Israelites went through the midst of the sea on dry ground, while the waters formed a wall on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharʹaoh’s horses, his war chariots, and his cavalrymen began going























after them into the midst of the sea. 24 During the morning watch, Jehovah looked at the camp of the Egyptians from within the pillar of fire and cloud, and he threw the camp of the Egyptians into confusion. 25 He kept taking wheels off their chariots so that they were driving them with difficulty, and the Egyptians were saying: “Let us flee from any contact with Israel, because Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.” 26 Then Jehovah said to Moses: “Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, their war chariots, and their cavalrymen.” 27 Moses at once stretched out his hand over the sea, and as morning approached, the sea returned to its normal condition. As the Egyptians fled from it, Jehovah shook the Egyptians off into the midst of the sea.28 The returning waters covered the war chariots and the cavalrymen and all of Pharʹaoh’s army who had gone into the sea after them. Not so much as one among them was allowed to survive. 29 But the Israelites walked on dry ground in the midst of the seabed, and the waters formed a wall on their right hand and on their left. 30 Thus Jehovah saved Israel on that day from the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore. 31 Israel also saw the great power that Jehovah wielded against the Egyptians, and the people began to fear Jehovah and to put faith in Jehovah and in his-servant-Moses. (Exodus15:1-21) At that time Moses and the Israelites sang this song to Jehovah: “Let me sing to Jehovah, for he has become highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea. 2 My strength and my might is Jah, since he has become my salvation. This is my God, and I will praise him; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. 3 Jehovah is a powerful warrior. Jehovah is his name. 4 Pharʹaoh’s chariots and his army He has cast into the sea, And his finest warriors have sunk into the Red Sea. 5 The surging waters covered them; down into the depths they sank like a stone. 6 Your right hand, O Jehovah, is great in power; Your right hand, O Jehovah, can shatter an enemy. 7 In your great majesty you can throw down those who rise up against you; You send out your burning anger, it eats them up like stubble. 8 By a breath from your nostrils waters massed together; They stood still, holding back the floods; The surging waters congealed in the heart of the sea. 9 The enemy said: ‘I will pursue! I will overtake! I will divide spoil until I am satisfied! I will draw my sword! My hand will subdue them!’ 10 You blew with your breath, the sea covered them; They sank like lead in majestic waters.11 Who among the gods is like you, O Jehovah? Who is like you, showing yourself mighty in holiness? The One to be feared with songs of praise, the One doing wonders. 12 You stretched out your right hand, and the earth swallowed them up. 13 In your loyal love you have led the people whom you have redeemed; In your strength you will guide them to your holy place of dwelling.14 Peoples must hear; they will shudder; Anguish will seize the inhabitants of Phi·lisʹti·a.15 At that time the sheikhs of Eʹdom will be terrified, And trembling will take hold of the mighty rulers of Moʹab. All the inhabitants of Caʹnaan will be disheartened. 16 Fear and dread will fall upon them. Because of the greatness of your arm they will be as motionless as a stone Until your people pass by, O Jehovah, Until the people whom you produced+ pass by. 17 You will bring them and plant them in the mountain of your inheritance, The established place that you have prepared for yourself to inhabit, O Jehovah, A sanctuary, O Jehovah, that your hands have established.18 Jehovah will rule as king forever and ever. 19 When Pharʹaoh’s horses with his war chariots and his cavalrymen went into the sea, Then Jehovah brought back the waters of the sea upon them, But the people of Israel walked on dry ground through the midst of the sea.” 20 Then Mirʹi·am the prophetess, Aaron’s sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her with tambourines and with dances. 21 Mirʹi·am sang in response to the men:“Sing to Jehovah, for he has become






























highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea.” __________________________________________________________________________________________________

11:45 Jehovah – The Greatest Example of Endurance (Romans 9:22, 23; 15:13; James 1:2-4)

Speaker: _______________________________________________________________________________

(Romans 9:22, 23) What, then, if God had the will to demonstrate his wrath and to make his power known, and he tolerated with much patience vessels of wrath made fit for destruction? 23 And if this was done to make known the riches of his glory on vessels of mercy, which he prepared beforehand for glory, (Romans 15:13) May the God who gives hope fill you with all joy and peace by your trusting in him, so that you may abound in hope with power of holy spirit. (James 1:2-4) Consider it all joy, my brothers, when you meet with various trials, 3 knowing as you do that this tested quality of your faith produces endurance. 4 But let endurance complete its work, so that you may be complete and sound in all respects, not lacking in anything. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Song 115 Gratitude for Divine Patience

(2 Peter 3:15)

1. Great God, Jehovah, boundless in might, You have made known your love of right.

Badness prevails on earth below, Causing us pain, as you well know.

You are not slow, as men may contend; Your time is near for patience to end.

(chorus)

We look ahead with hope renewed, Praising your name in deep gratitude.

2. One thousand years, from your point of view,

Are like a day when they are through. Time now proceeds to your great day;

It will arrive without delay. Though all transgression you do resent, Your heart is glad when sinners repent.

(chorus) Enjoy Your Lunch & Fine Association

Song 128 Enduring to the End

(Matthew 24:13)

1. God’s Word and all it promises Give reason to endure.

The things you’ve learned and come to love Are all well-founded and sure.

Be stabilized in holy faith, Keeping God’s day close in mind.

Stand firm in your integrity; By tests you will be refined.

2. Maintain the love you had at first,

Which somehow could be lost. Despite the trials you will meet,

Endure no matter the cost. Whatever test may come your way,

Never yield to doubt or fear. Jehovah will provide escape,

Our God ever will be near.

3. All those enduring to the end Are those who will be saved.

The book of life will list their names, A record clearly engraved.

So let endurance be your aim; Let it have its work complete.

Jehovah’s favor you will know; With joy you will be replete.

Who will rescue me from the body undergoing this death? 25 Thanks to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So, then, with my mind I myself am a slave to God’s law, but with my flesh to sin’s law. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

1:40 SYMPOSIUM: Enduring Despite . . . Humbling Experiences

(Galatians 2:11-14; Hebrews 12:5, 6, 10, 11)

Speaker: _____________________________________________________________________________ (Galatians 2:11-14) However, when Ceʹphas came to Antioch, I resisted* him face-to-face, because he was clearly in the wrong. 12 For before certain men from James arrived, he used to eat with people of the nations; but when they arrived, he stopped doing this and separated himself, fearing those of the circumcised class 13 The rest of the Jews also joined him in putting on this pretense, so that even Barʹna·bas was led along with them in their pretense. 14 But when I saw that they were not walking in step with the truth of the good news, I said to Ceʹphas before them all: “If you, though you are a Jew, live as the nations do and not as Jews do, how can you compel people of the nations to live according to Jewish practice?” (Hebrews 12:5, 6) And you have entirely forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons: “My son, do not belittle the discipline from Jehovah, nor give up when you are corrected by him; 6 for those whom Jehovah loves he disciplines, in fact, he scourges* everyone whom he receives as a son.” (Hebrews 12:10, 11) For they disciplined us for a short time according to what seemed good to them, but he does so for our benefit so that we may partake of his holiness. 11 True, no discipline seems for the present to be joyous, but it is painful; yet afterward, it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Page 136 “A Perfect Wage” From Jehovah

(Ruth 2:12)

1. Jehovah is faithful and fully aware Of all those who serve him whole-souled.

He knows there are times their devotion and zeal Result in their loss as foretold.

If you have left houses or fam’ly or friends, Be sure that our God knows the sum.

He makes it up now with our dear brotherhood And life in the new world to come.

(chorus)

May Jehovah reward what you have done. May he provide a perfect wage for you. May you find refuge beneath his wings.

Jehovah is faithful; Jehovah is true.

2. At times we may feel that our lot in this life

Has burdened us more than our share. And sometimes it seems that the cares of the day

Are more than we’re able to bear. The God of all comfort takes note of your need;

You know he’s the Hearer of prayer. His Word and his spirit and true, loving friends

Will bring to you comfort and care. (chorus)


Speaker:

(Luke 17:28-33) Likewise, just as it occurred in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building. 29 But on the day that Lot went out of Sodʹom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same on that day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 “On that day let the person who is on the housetop but whose belongings are in the house not come down to pick these up, and likewise, the person out in the field must not return to the things behind. 32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks to keep his life safe will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it alive. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

4:15 How You Can “By No Means Ever Fail” (2 Peter 1:5-10; Isaiah 40:31; 2 Corinthians 4:7-9; 16)

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________

(2 Peter 1:5-10) For this very reason, put forth all earnest effort to supply to your faith virtue, to your virtue knowledge, 6 to your knowledge self-control, to your self-control+ endurance, to your endurance godly devotion, 7 to your godly devotion brotherly affection, to your brotherly affection love. 8 For if these things exist in you and overflow, they will prevent you from being either inactive or unfruitful regarding the accurate knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.9 For anyone lacking these things is blind, shutting his eyes to the light, and has become forgetful of his cleansing from his sins of long ago. 10 Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to make your calling and choosing sure for yourselves, for if you keep on doing these things, you will by no means ever fail.

(Isaiah 40:31) But those hoping in Jehovah will regain power. They will soar on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary; They will walk and not tire out.”

(2 Corinthians 4:7-9) However, we have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the power beyond what is normal may be God’s and not from us. 8 We are hard-pressed in every way, but not cramped beyond movement; we are perplexed, but not absolutely with no way out; 9 we are persecuted, but not abandoned; we are knocked down, but not destroyed.

(2 Corinthians 4:16) Therefore, we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day.

Song 3

Our Strength, Our Hope, Our Confidence (Proverbs 14:26)

1. O Jehovah, you have given us a hope that we hold dear. It’s a hope we find so thrilling we want the world to hear.

But at times this life’s anxieties are the cause of fears within, And the hope that burned so brightly has suddenly grown dim.

(chorus)

You’re our strength, you’re our hope, you’re our confidence. Whatever we lack, you supply.

When we preach, when we teach, we have confidence because it’s on you we rely.

2. So Jehovah, please instill in us a heart that won’t forget,

For you’ve always been our comfort when troubled times we’ve met. And these thoughts that lift and strengthen us can revive that dying flame,

For they fill our hearts with courage to speak about your name. (chorus)

Song 44 A Prayer of the Lowly One

(Psalm 4:1)

1. Jehovah God, I call to you and ask you: “Hear my prayer.” My wounds are deep and slow to heal; my load is hard to bear.

Despondent thoughts and disappointed hopes have left me weak. O God of comfort, care for me; your favor I do seek.

(chorus)

Do raise me up; help me endure. When I’m in doubt, make my hope sure.

From deep despair, I turn to you. Jehovah God, my strength renew.

2. Your Word has been my comfort and a refuge when I’m weak,

Expressing feelings dear to me in words I cannot speak. Please build in me the faith and trust that your Word does impart.

And help me always know your love is greater than my heart. (chorus)

9:40 SYMPOSIUM: How Jehovah “Supplies Endurance and Comfort” to . . . The Weak and Those Who Are Depressed

(Romans 15:4, 5; 1 Thessalonians 5:14; 1 Peter 5:7-10) Speaker: _____________________________________________________________________________ (Romans 15:4, 5) For all the things that were written beforehand were written for our instruction, so that through our endurance and through the comfort from the Scriptures we might have hope. 5 Now may the God who supplies endurance and comfort grant you to have among yourselves the same mental attitude that Christ Jesus had, 6 so that unitedly you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. (1 Thessalonians 5:14) On the other hand, we urge you, brothers, to warn the disorderly, speak consolingly to those who are depressed, support the weak, be patient toward all. (1 Peter 5:7-10) while you throw all your anxiety on him, because he cares for you. 8 Keep your senses, be watchful! Your adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone. 9 But take your stand against him, firm in the faith, knowing that the same kind of sufferings are being experienced by the entire association of your brothers* in the world. 10 But after you have suffered a little while, the God of all undeserved kindness, who called you to his everlasting glory in union with Christ, will himself finish your training. He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Song 138 Beauty in Gray-Headedness

(Proverbs 16:31)

1. Here with us are aged ones, Those whose youth has passed.

Here among us they endure; Still they’re holding fast.

Loss of strength besets them all; Loss of mates for some.

Father, please confirm their faith In the life to come.

(chorus)

Father, you remember How in faith they’ve run.

Give them your assurance; May they hear, “Well done!”

2. Splendid is gray-headedness

Found in ways of right. Beautiful are faithful ones

In Jehovah’s sight. May we always recognize

They were once young too. Loyally they gave their best

When their strength was new. (chorus)

11:00 SYMPOSIUM: Build a House That Will Endure Be “Content With the Present Things”

(Hebrews 13:5; Psalm 127:1, 2)

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________

(Hebrews 13:5) Let your way of life be free of the love of money, while you are content with the present things. For he has said: “I will never leave you, and I will never abandon you.”

(Psalm 127:1, 2) Unless Jehovah builds the house, It is in vain that its builders work hard on it. Unless Jehovah guards the city, It is in vain that the guard stays awake. 2 It is in vain that you rise up early, That you stay up late, That you toil for your food, Since he provides for his loved ones while giving them sleep.

Song 79 Teach Them to Stand Firm

(Matthew 28:19, 20)

1. What a joy to teach Jehovah’s sheep And to see how they have grown.

We have seen how he has guided them As they’ve made the truth their own.

(chorus)

Jehovah, may you hear our prayer And keep them in your watchful care.

In Jesus’ name, for them we plead: May they succeed;

May ev’ry one of them stand firm.

2. Ev’ry day we said a prayer for them, As their faith was under test.

We made time to teach and care for them; They’ve grown strong, and they’ve been blessed.

(chorus)

3. May they all maintain their confidence, Trust in God and in his Son.

Through endurance and obedience, May their race for life be won.

Though our enemies will fight it, We will preach until the end.

Join the shout of praise throughout the land. Look! Jehovah’s day is soon at hand!

1:50 SYMPOSIUM: Imitate “Those Who Have Endured” Joseph (Genesis 37:23-28; 39:17-20; James 5:11)

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________

(Genesis 37:23-28) So as soon as Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped Joseph of his robe, the special robe that he wore, 24 and they took him and threw him into the waterpit. At the time the pit was empty; there was no water in it.25 Then they sat down to eat. When they looked up, there was a caravan of Ishʹma·el·ites coming from Gilʹe·ad. Their camels were carrying labdanum gum, balsam, and resinous bark, and they were on their way down to Egypt. 26 At this Judah said to his brothers: “What profit would there be if we killed our brother and covered over his blood? 27 Come, now, let us sell him to the Ishʹma·el·ites, and do not let our hand be upon him. After all, he is our brother, our flesh.” So they listened to their brother.28 And when the Midʹi·an·ite merchants were passing by, they lifted Joseph up out of the waterpit and sold him to the Ishʹma·el·ites for 20 pieces of silver. These men took Joseph into Egypt.

(Genesis 39:17-20) Then she told him the same thing, saying: “The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came to me to make me a laughingstock. 18 But as soon as I raised my voice and began to scream, he left his garment beside me and fled outside.” 19 As soon as his master heard the words his wife spoke to him, saying: “These are the things your servant did to me,” his anger blazed.20 So Joseph’s master took him and gave him over to the prison, the place where the prisoners of the king were kept under arrest, and he remained there in the prison.

(James 5:11) Look! We consider happy those who have endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome Jehovah gave, that Jehovah is very tender in affection and merciful.

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________

(Judges 11:36-40) But she said to him: “My father, if you have opened your mouth to Jehovah, do to me as you have promised, since Jehovah has executed vengeance for you upon your enemies, the Amʹmon·ites.” 37 She then said to her father: “Let this be done for me: Let me be alone for two months, and let me go away into the mountains, and let me weep over my virginity with my female companions.” 38 At this he said: “Go!” So he sent her away for two months, and she went to the mountains with her companions to weep over her virginity. 39 At the end of two months, she returned to her father, after which he carried out the vow he had made regarding her. She never had relations with a man. And it became a custom* in Israel: 40 From year to year, the young women of Israel would go to give commendation to the daughter of Jephʹthah the Gilʹe·ad·ite four days in the year.

Song 111

Our Reasons for Joy (Matthew 5:12)

1. Our reasons for joy are abundant, Like riches increasing in worth.

Those precious to God from all nations Are joining us in all the earth.

The joy in our heart is well-founded, With roots reaching deep in God’s Word.

We daily partake of its teachings; Faith follows the things we have heard.

Our causes for joy are deep-seated, Like embers that burn in our hearts. Though troubles and trials beset us,

Endurance Jehovah imparts.

(chorus) Jehovah our God is our joy,

The work of his hands our delight. How deep are his thoughts, how great are his works,

Abounding in goodness and might!

2. We gladly behold his productions, The heavens, the sea, and the land.

We gaze at the book of creation, Applauding the work of his hands.

Triumphantly we now bear witness, Proclaiming the Kingdom of God.

The news of its birth and its blessings, We joyously spread all abroad. Eternal rejoicing approaches,

Like daylight that follows the night. The promised new earth and new heavens

Will bring everlasting delight.

He will make you firm, he will make you strong, he will firmly ground you.

Song 135

Jehovah’s Warm Appeal: “Be Wise, My Son” (Proverbs 27:11)

1. Young man and young woman, do give your heart to me. My foe who now taunts me will then be made to see.

Your youth and devotion to me you freely give; You show all the world that for me you really live.

(chorus)

Beloved son and precious daughter, Be wise and make my heart rejoice,

That out of your own heart you serve me, And offer praise by your own choice.

2. Rejoice and take pleasure in giving me your all,

And though you may stumble, I’ll raise you if you fall. No matter who fails you or proves to be untrue, Take comfort in knowing I’ll always cherish you.

(chorus)

Song 121 We Need Self-Control

(Romans 7:14-25)

1. We love Jehovah with heart, mind, and soul; But since we are sinful, we need self-control.

Fleshly desires bring trouble and strife; Living by spirit brings peace and life.

2. Satan’s temptations confront us each day,

And sin’s law within us can lead us astray. Power of truth is greater than sin.

Thanks to Jehovah, our minds can win.

3. Each word and action reflects on God’s name, So we must endeavor to keep free from blame.

In all we do, we make this our goal: Always maintaining our self-control.

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________ (1 Corinthians 9:25-27) Now everyone competing in a contest exercises self-control in all things. Of course, they do it to receive a crown that can perish, but we, one that does not perish. 26 Therefore, the way I am running is not aimlessly; the way I am aiming my blows is so as not to be striking the air; 27 but I pummel* my body and lead it as a slave, so that after I have preached to others, I myself should not become disapproved somehow. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________ (Hebrews 12:2,3) as we look intently at the Chief Agent and Perfecter of our faith, Jesus. For the joy that was set before him he endured a torture stake, despising shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Indeed, consider closely the one who has endured such hostile speech from sinners against their own interests, so that you may not get tired and give up. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Speaker: ____________________________________________________________________ (Hebrews 5:12-14) For although by now you should be teachers, you again need someone to teach you from the beginning the elementary things of the sacred pronouncements of God, and you have gone back to needing milk, not solid food. 13 For everyone who continues to feed on milk is unacquainted with the word of righteousness, for he is a young child. 14 But solid food belongs to mature people, to those who through use have their powers of discernment* trained to distinguish both right and wrong. __________________________________________________________________________________________________

Song 141 The Miracle of Life

(Psalm 36:9)

1. Ev’ry newborn child, Ev’ry drop of rain,

Ev’ry golden ray of sun, Each head of grain— All are gifts from God; They reveal his way.

Miracles performed by him sustain us each day.

(chorus) So, what are we to do with a gift so rare

But to love the One who gave it and show him we care. No matter what we do, We never can earn it. This gift is still a gift—

The miracle of life.

2. Others may give up, Lose their will to try,

Echoing the wife of Job: “Curse God and die.” We are not that way;

Praise to God we give, Thanking him for ev’ry precious moment we live.

Song 20 You Gave Your Precious Son

(1 John 4:9)

1. Jehovah, dear Father, There seemed no hope for us.

The ransom has given Hope to ev’ryone!

We give our lives to you, Our best in all we do.

And we’ll tell others too, That your will might be done.

(chorus)

You gave your precious Son, And now we sing as one,

A song we’ll sing forever, for giving us your precious Son.

2. Your kindness, your mercy, They draw us close to you.

Your great name, your friendship, These we’ve come to love.

But something more than this Is your most precious gift. He died that we might live. You sent him from above.

(chorus)

Jehovah, dear Father, we pray in gratitude. We offer our thanks for giving us your precious Son.

Preaching to All Sorts of People (1 Timothy 2:4)

1. We really want to imitate our God, To be impartial, as we know he is.

To save all sorts of people is his will; He welcomes all to come and to be his.

(chorus)

It’s the person, not the place; It’s the heart and not the face.

God’s message to all people we extend. So because we really care,

We keep preaching ev’rywhere: “All sorts of people can become God’s friend.”

2. It doesn’t matter where they may be found

Or what at first they might appear to be. What really counts is what they are at heart—

The inner self, the one Jehovah sees. (chorus)

3. Jehovah welcomes all who make the choice

To leave the world and all its ways behind. This we have learned, and this we want to share,

And so we preach to people of all kinds. (chorus)


Speaker:

(Luke 17:28-33) Likewise, just as it occurred in the days of Lot: they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building. 29 But on the day that Lot went out of Sodʹom, it rained fire and sulfur from heaven and destroyed them all. 30 It will be the same on that day when the Son of man is revealed. 31 “On that day let the person who is on the housetop but whose belongings are in the house not come down to pick these up, and likewise, the person out in the field must not return to the things behind. 32 Remember the wife of Lot. 33 Whoever seeks to keep his life safe will lose it, but whoever loses it will preserve it alive. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________

“This Is the Way” (Isaiah 30:20, 21)

1. There is a way of peace, The way you’ve come to know.

It is the way you learned, The way of long ago,

The way that Jesus taught you When his voice you heard. This is the way of peace,

Found in Jehovah’s Word.

(chorus) This is the way to life; This is the way.

Don’t look aside; Not for a moment stray! God’s voice is calling: ‘This is the way;

Do not look back, for yes, this is the way.’

2. There is a way of love, No need to look around.

God’s voice has shown the way He lets himself be found. His love is full and good;

His love is warm and true. This is the way of love;

It touches all we do. (chorus)

3. There is a way of life, No need to look behind.

Our God has promised us: No better way we’ll find, No higher way to peace,

No finer way to love. This is the way to life,

Thanks to our God above. (chorus)

Song 129 We Will Keep Enduring

(Matthew 24:13)

1. How can we endure

When trials come, as Jesus said? Through his pain he saw

The joy of better things ahead. God’s promise, God’s justice,

Were thoughts on which he fed.

(chorus) We need to have endurance.

Our faith we must defend. His love is our assurance.

So we will keep enduring to the end.

2. Though the passing years May bring us sorrow, bring us pain;

There beyond the tears, We see the life that we can gain.

To be there, feel free there, Determined we remain.

(chorus)

3. We will not give up Nor see the need for doubt or fear.

Faithfully we’ll serve Until Jehovah’s day is here.

Let’s keep on enduring. That time is very near.

(chorus)
