12. This is Abraham. I am the father of many
nations. When I was a young man, people
called me Abram. One day, when I was more
than 100 years old, my Lord our God said to me:
13. Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you
love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer
him there as a burnt offering on one of the
mountains of which I shall tell you.
14. And Abraham took the wood of the burnt
offering and laid it on Isaac his son. And he
took in his hand the fire and the knife.
15. And Isaac said to his father Abraham, “My father!”
And he said, “Here I am, my son.”
He said, “Behold, the fire and the wood, but
where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Abraham said, “God will provide for himself the
lamb for a burnt offering, my son.” So they went
both of them together.
16.
17. But the angel of the LORD called to him and said,
“Abraham, Abraham! Do not lay your hand on the
boy or do anything to him, for now I know that you
fear God, seeing you have not withheld your son,
your only son, from me. And your offspring shall
possess the gate of his enemies, and in your
offspring shall all the nations of the earth be
blessed, because you have obeyed my voice.”
20. Israelis traveled from Mount Hor
along the route to the Red Sea, to
go around Edom. But the people
grew impatient on the way; they
spoke against God and against
Moses, and said, “Why have you
brought us up out of Egypt to die
in the wilderness? There is no
bread! There is no water! And we
detest this miserable food!”
21. Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them;
they bit the people and many Israelites died. The
people came to Moses and said, “We sinned when
we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray
that the Lord will take the snakes away from us.”
So Moses prayed for the people.
22. The Lord said to Moses,
“Make a snake and put it up
on a pole; anyone who is
bitten can look at it and live.”
So Moses made a bronze
snake and put it up on a pole.
Then when anyone was bitten
by a snake and looked at the
bronze snake, they lived.
25. One day, God speak to David,
“I will raise up your offspring
after you, who shall come
from your body, and I will
establish his kingdom. He
shall build a house for my
name, and I will establish the
throne of his kingdom will
last forever!”
28. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men
hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him
not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our
sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God,
and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions;
29. He shall prolong his days the will of the LORD shall
prosper in his hand. For that which has not been told
them they see, and that which they have not heard
they understand. Who has believed what he has heard
from us? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been
revealed?
34. 天上小鸟，园中红花
Little birds in the sky,
red flowers in the garden
你要赞美他
Come and praise him
山谷流水，海边细沙
Flowing rivers in the valley,
tiny sands on the beach
你要赞美他
Come and praise him
35. 听哪！听哪！千万声音
Listen! Listen! Thousands of voices

52. In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This cornerstone, this solid ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
53. In Christ alone, Who took on flesh,
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
Scorned by the ones He came to save.
'Til on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev'ry sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live.
54. There in the ground His body lay,
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day,
Up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
55. No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the pow'r of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow'r of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand
56. 'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
'Til He returns or calls me home
Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
86. Yes, it’s me. So I’m the “brain” of the
fellowship. If I wasn’t brain-
washing…no.no.no…if I wasn’t dragging you
down…no.no.no…I mean if I was not
guiding you to walk this road of blessings.
How are you ended up here?
102. The kids are crouching tigers! I have
lost several pairs of glasses because I
have “watch” all the kids. Sometimes I
even dream to wrestle with them.
What a nightmare!
107. See. Who takes care of all the leftover.
I finished all of them, even the cream
on your plate. I am the “stomach” of
the our fellowship. I should represent
VCCA!
109. Enough! We are all parts
of the body of Christ. It
does make sense to argue
who’s the most important.
110. Jesus said, “Whoever wants to
become great among you must be
your servant, and whoever wants to
be first must be you slave.” God value
our humble services, we shouldn’t
argue the importance of our service.
111. Yes. We are endowed with
different gifts and services, but
we are all parts of the Christ
body. We are all indispensable.
