SUMMARY:Sunday Service
DESCRIPTION:WARD  MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHRUCH\n“My House will be called A House of Prayer For all Nations”  Isaiah 56:7 ~ Mark 11:17 \nMISSION:  “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \nVISION: “Transformation”- Romans 12:2  \nOrder of Service: 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\n\n\n\nOpening Prayer/Worship: Worship Team\n\n\nScripture Reading: James 4:1-12  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSubmit Yourselves to God\n4 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have\, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want\, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask\, you do not receive\, because you ask with wrong motives\, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. \n4 You adulterous people\,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore\, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: \n\n“God opposes the proud\n    but shows favor to the humble.”[c] \n\n7 Submit yourselves\, then\, to God. Resist the devil\, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands\, you sinners\, and purify your hearts\, you double-minded. 9 Grieve\, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord\, and he will lift you up. \n11 Brothers and sisters\, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister[d] or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law\, you are not keeping it\, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge\, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise and Worship: contd..\n\n\nSermon: Ps.Gun on “Submit and Resist”\n\n\nBenediction\n\n\n\nEvening Service: Evening Service @ 5:00 p.m. \nScripture Reading:  James 4: 1-12 \nSermon: Ps.Jusuf Wijaya on “Conflict Resolution” \nAnnouncements\nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nWMBC is… \n(Vision Statement) “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \n(Mission Statement) “Transformation”- Romans 12:2 (Vision Statement) \n– All are welcome at WMBC \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m.; Thursday: 7:00 p.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 A.M.              Invite families and friends. \nCelebration Zone for Children/ Youth on-site- Sundays @10:30 a.m. \nESL Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall.         Interested Volunteer teachers\, contact Yvonne. \nHealth and Safety Precautions \nPray without ceasing\, continue to be diligent.\nStay home\, especially if showing symptoms.\nWash hands frequently with soap and water!!!\nSanitize hands and surfaces.\nWear masks; still consider others (if in enclosed areas) \nCell Groups: \n-Sephora Pierre-Louis and Hercules Tupas\, E.

DESCRIPTION:WARD  MEMORIAL BAPTIST CHRUCH\n“My House will be called A House of Prayer For all Nations”  Isaiah 56:7 ~ Mark 11:17 \nMISSION:  “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \nVISION: “Transformation”- Romans 12:2  \nOrder of Service: 10:30 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.\n\n\n\nOpening Prayer/Worship: Worship Team\n\n\nScripture Reading: James 2:14-26  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFaith Without Works Is Dead\n14 What does it profit\, my brethren\, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food\, 16 and one of you says to them\, “Depart in peace\, be warmed and filled\,” but you do not give them the things which are needed for the body\, what does it profit? 17 Thus also faith by itself\, if it does not have works\, is dead. \n18 But someone will say\, “You have faith\, and I have works.” Show me your faith without [a]your works\, and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know\, O foolish man\, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see that faith was working together with his works\, and by works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says\, “Abraham believed God\, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works\, and not by faith only. \n25 Likewise\, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way? \n26 For as the body without the spirit is dead\, so faith without works is dead also. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise and Worship: contd..\n\n\nSermon: Chris Lim on “Faith that God credits”\n\n\nBenediction\n\n\n\nAnnouncements\nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nWMBC is… \n(Vision Statement) “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \n(Mission Statement) “Transformation”- Romans 12:2 (Vision Statement) \n– All are welcome at WMBC \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m.; Thursday: 7:00 p.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 A.M.  Invite families and friends. \nCelebration Zone for Children/ Youth on-site- Sundays @10:30 a.m. \nESL Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall.

Are they not the ones who are dragging you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who are blaspheming the noble name of him to whom you belong? \n8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture\, “Love your neighbor as yourself\,”[a] you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism\, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of it. 11 For he who said\, “You shall not commit adultery\,”[b] also said\, “You shall not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do commit murder\, you have become a lawbreaker. \n12 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom\, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPraise and Worship: contd..\n\n\nSermon: Ps.Jusuf Wijaya on “Favoritisms”\n\n\nBenediction\n\n\n\nAnnouncements\nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nWMBC is… \n(Vision Statement) “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \n(Mission Statement) “Transformation”- Romans 12:2 (Vision Statement) \n– All are welcome at WMBC \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m.; Thursday: 7:00 p.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 A.M.  Invite families and friends. \nCelebration Zone for Children/ Youth on-site- Sundays @10:30 a.m. \nESL Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall.

And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. 2 Dear friends\, now we are children of God\, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears\, we shall be like him\, for we shall see him as he is. 3 All who have this hope in him purify themselves\, just as he is pure. \n4 Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact\, sin is lawlessness. 5 But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him. \n7 Dear children\, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous\, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil\, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin\, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning\, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child\, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister. \nMessage: “ Following God’s Example as Children “ by Gabriel Small \nAnnouncements \nBaptism: Speak with Pastor Jusuf if you are interested in baptism. \nWMBC is… \n(Vision Statement) “Making God known by sharing the Love of Christ.” \n(Mission Statement) “Transformation”- Romans 12:2 (Vision Statement) \n– All are welcome at WMBC \nPrayer Sessions: Time –Wednesday: 7:00-8:30 p.m.; Sundays: 9:45 a.m.; Thursday: 7:00 p.m. \nLIVE STREAMING OF WMBC SERVICES WILL BE ON SUNDAYS @ 10:30 A.M. https://wmbaptistchurch.ca In-person church services commence at 10:30 a.m.  Invite families and friends. \nCelebration Zone for Children/ Youth on-site- Sundays @10:30 a.m. \nESL Classes: Tuesdays and Thursdays\, 7:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. in the downstairs Fellowship Hall.        Interested Volunteer teachers\, contact Yvonne. \nHealth and Safety Precautions \nPray without ceasing\, continue to be diligent.\nStay home\, especially if showing symptoms.\nWash hands frequently with soap and water!!!\nSanitize hands and surfaces.\nWear masks; still consider others (if in enclosed areas) \nCell Groups: \n-Sephora Pierre-Louis and Hercules Tupas\, E.
