Prelude for Worship Martha Short

Welcome Daniel Palmer

All Hail the Power Of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ Name Let angels prostrate fall Bring forth the royal diadem And crown Him Lord of All

Ye chosen seed of Israel’s race Ye ransomed from the fall Hail Him who saves You by His grace And crown Him Lord of All

Let every kindred every tribe On this terrestrial ball To Him all majesty ascribe And crown Him Lord of All

O that with yonder sacred throng We at His feet may fall We’ll join the everlasting song And crown Him Lord of All

I Stand Amazed In the Presence

I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene And wonder how He could love me A sinner condemned unclean

How marvelous how wonderful And my song shall ever be Is my Savior's love for me

For me it was in the garden He prayed not My will but Thine He had no tears For His own griefs But sweat drops of blood for mine

How marvelous how wonderful And my song shall ever be Is my Savior's love for me

He took my sins and my sorrows He made them His very own He bore the burden to Calvary And suffered and died alone

How marvelous how wonderful And my song shall ever be Is my Savior's love for me

When with the ransomed in glory His face I at last shall see 'Twill be my joy through the ages To sing of His love for me

How marvelous how wonderful And my song shall ever be Is my Savior's love for me

MISSIONARY HIGHLIGHT: December 16 _________________________________________________ Victoria Koontz SOUTH ASIA We’re going to South Asia today to pray for a missionary who serves there—a missionary our church supports through the Cooperative Program. We’ll call her Victoria Koontz. Victoria tells about meeting a woman named Naomi. Now, Naomi had a hard life. She was born into a Muslim family and so was Muslim. She had a disfigured face and felt that nobody loved or accepted her for who she was. But one of her friends was a Christian and that friend told her the good news that God loves her and sent His Son to die that she might have eternal life. That same friend invited her to church. The Christians in the group welcomed her warmly. They accepted her. Later Naomi also became a follower of Jesus Christ. Folks, that ought to make us stand up and cheer! All over this planet our missionaries are seeing lives renewed as people learn the biblical truth that God loves them and has a plan for their lives. Today, let’s pray for Victoria. And let’s pray for Naomi, that she will become a faithful witness to her Muslim family and friends.

As the snow falls from heaven, As it comes in swirling showers From the sky, So is my Word. As the rains bring the water to the earth that is thirsty and dry,

It shall not return empty: It will bless the earth wherever And the Word of my mouth, It shall not return empty: It will bless the earth wherever It is heard. This is my Word.

As the rain brings renewal And the tender buds begin To come alive, So is my Word. Giving seed to the sower, And the bread to the hungry 'til they thrive,

It shall not return empty; It will bless the earth wherever And the Word of my mouth, It shall not return empty; It will bless the earth wherever It is heard. This is my Word.

My God, help me be faithful to the Word You have given to proclaim. O Lord, when I am weary, When I feel the days I'm living are in vain, My God, help me be faithful to the Word You have given to proclaim. Proclaim the Word, And you will go out in joy,

And be led forth in peace, And the hills will break Before you into song. So be faithful, brave and true, For I will go before you, And when your earthly journey Here is done. I'll say well done, I'll say well done! I'll say well done, well done!

As the snow falls from heaven, And the rain comes in showers From the sky, This is my Word.

WHO, WHERE, WHAT, WHY AND WHEN

Introduction When crafting a journalistic document or a promotional piece, several diagnostic questions help a person to capture all the important information.

What would those questions look like in the light of God’s word and the Christian life if you asked today about your life?

1. Who am I? (I Corinthians 11:1) Imitate me, as I also imitate Christ.

Who are you at your core?

How do you want to be remembered?

2. Where do you fit? (Romans 12:4 & 5) Now as we have many parts in one body, and all the parts do not have the same function, in the same way we who are many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another. Everyone has a place in the church.

If you are just sitting in the pew, shame on you

Don’t be a dipstick

3. What needs to change? (Isa. 6:1-8) Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me.

Are you really open to change?

4. Why even consider the above points? (John 3:16) “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.

God loves you and has the best plan for your life Jesus gave it all The least among us will be the greatest

5. When will you do this? (2 Cor. 6:2) For He says: I heard you in an acceptable time, and I helped you in the day of salvation. Look, now is the acceptable time; now is the day of salvation.

Today is the day!

Conclusion It’s time to wake up from our sleep (Romans 13:11-14)

Romans 13:11-14 Besides this, knowing the time, it is already the hour for you to wake up from sleep, for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is nearly over, and the daylight is near, so let us discard the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk with decency, as in the daylight: not in carousing and drunkenness; not in sexual impurity and promiscuity; not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.

Jesus Paid It All

“Thy strength indeed is small Child of weakness, watch and pray I hear the Savior say “Thy strength indeed is small Child of weakness, watch and pray Find in Me thine all in all”

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow

Thy power, and Thine alone Can change the leper’s spots Lord, now indeed I find Thy power, and Thine alone Can change the leper’s spots And melt the heart of stone

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow

Whereby Thy grace to claim I’ll wash my garments white For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calvary’s Lamb

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow

And when, before the throne I stand in him complete “Jesus died my soul to save!” My lips shall still repeat

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow

Postlude for Worship Martha Short

July 15th 2018

The Lion and The Lamb

He's coming on the clouds Kings and kingdoms will bow down Every chain will break As broken hearts declare His praise For who can stop the Lord Almighty

And fighting our battles Every knee will bow before Him Our God is a lion The Lion of Judah He's roaring with power And fighting our battles Every knee will bow before Him

For the sins of the world His blood breaks the chains Our God is a lamb The lamb that was slain For the sins of the world His blood breaks the chains Every knee will bow before the lion and the lamb Every knee will bow before him

Make way before the King of Kings The God who comes to save Open up the gates Make way before the King of Kings The God who comes to save Is here to set the captives free For who can stop the Lord Almighty

Who can stop the Lord Almighty

Welcome Daniel Palmer

What A Beautiful Name

Great I Am

So Heaven is real and death is a lie I want to be close – Close to Your side So Heaven is real and death is a lie I want to hear voices Of angels above Singing as one

God Almighty - Great I Am Who is worthy - none beside Thee Hallelujah - Holy Holy God Almighty - Great I Am Who is worthy - none beside Thee

Loving the world - hating the dark I want to be near – Near to Your heart Loving the world - hating the dark I want to see dry bones living again Singing as one

The mountains shake before You At the mention of Your name The demons run and flee At the mention of Your name King of majesty

There is no power in hell And the Presence of the Great I Am Or any who can stand Before the power And the Presence of the Great I Am The Great I Am

The Great I Am

O Praise the One who paid my debt And raised this life up from the dead

Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow
