“Stop Denying and Believe”
John 20:24-28 (page NT107)
Offering (We give our gifts to God) He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his donkey, took him to the inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’—Luke 10: 34-35 NIV *Doxology ‘Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; praise Him, all creatures here below;
Call to Worship (from John 20)
