1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me 1 O Lord, you have searched me and known me! 2 You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar.

17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God 17 How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! 18 If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you.

We have rebelled and need Jesus REMEMBER THE STORY: We have rebelled and need Jesus
Win My Soul
In evil, long I took delight, un-awed by shame or guilt My soul as cold, as dark as night my heart so unfulfilled
Until I saw Him on the cross in agony and blood I knew His pain, His death, His loss— were evidence of love
His broken flesh, His lowly state, I never will forget This humbling truth, I can’t escape: I sentenced Him to death
My sin the crime that led Him there, my punishment He bore But by His wounds, my life was spared— and freed forever more
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
And sin no longer rules my heart, it has no hold or sway For Christ controls my every part, and guides me in His way
I’m free, I’m free, I will proclaim awakened by His love My life, my all, for Jesus’ name— there is no name above!
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
Hebrews 12:1-2 (ESV) 12 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
When finally I complete my task I’ll stand before my God My clothes shall be as spotless as the Lamb who spilled His blood
And when I hear the voices raised of all the saints as one I’ll gladly join to shout His praise… and this will be my song:
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
Praise the One who climbed the hill, and stormed the very gates of hell And went to war with death itself to win my soul!
He went to war with death itself to win my soul!

9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. - 1 John 4:9-10 (NIV)

COMMUNION “Do this in remembrance of me.” - 1 Corinthians 11:24
COMMUNION IS… For baptized believers to demonstrate faith in Jesus. For struggling and repenting Christians to sense grace. Communion is not for unbelievers, or for those who openly reject the authority of the Bible.
12Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.“ - Acts 4:12
In Christ Alone
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.
8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— - Ephesians 2:8
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.
Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied;
For all our sin on Him was laid— Here in the death of Christ I live.
11Here is a trustworthy saying: If we died with him, we will also live with him; - 2 Timothy 2:11
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.
18 He ransoms me unharmed from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me. - Psalm 55:18
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;
Till He returns or calls me home— Here in the pow'r of Christ I'll stand.
9For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. - Colossians 2:9-10
