2065 THE SPLENDOUR OF THE KING Chris Tomlin, Jesse Reeves & Ed Cash THE SPLENDOUR OF THE KING, Clothed in majesty; Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice. He wraps Himself in light, And darkness tries to hide, And trembles at His voice, And trembles at His voice.

How great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God, and all will see How great, how great is our God.

And age to age He stands, And time is in His hands; Beginning and the end, Beginning and the end. The Godhead, three in one, Father, Spirit, Son, The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb.

How great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God, and all will see How great, how great is our God.

Name above all names, Worthy of all praise; My heart will sing: How great is our God. (Repeat)

How great is our God, sing with me, How great is our God, and all will see How great, how great is our God. Copyright © 2004 sixsteps Music/worshiptogether.com songs/kingswaysongs.com/Alletrop Music/CopyCare

LORD, I LONG TO SEE YOU GLORIFIED In everything I do; Stephen McPherson LORD, I LONG TO SEE YOU GLORIFIED In everything I do; All my heartfelt dreams I put aside, To see Your Spirit move with power in my life.

Jesus, Lord of all eternity, Your children rise in faith; All the earth displays Your glory, And each word You speak Brings life to all who hear.

Lord of all, All of creation sings Your praise In heaven and earth. Lord, we stand, Hearts open wide, Be exalted.

Ephesians 2:13-22 13 But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.

Ephesians 2:13-22 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. 19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:13-22 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

432 O LORD, YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL Keith Green O LORD, YOU’RE BEAUTIFUL, Your face is all I seek, For when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me.

O Lord, please light the fire That once burned bright and clear, Replace the lamp of my first love That burns with holy fear!

I wanna take Your word And shine it all around, But first help me just to live it, Lord! And when I’m doing well, Help me to never seek a crown, For my reward is giving glory to You.

O Lord, You're beautiful, Your face is all I seek, For when Your eyes are on this child, Your grace abounds to me.

But first help me just to live it, Lord! And when I’m doing well, I wanna take Your word And shine it all around, But first help me just to live it, Lord! And when I’m doing well, Help me to never seek a crown, For my reward is giving glory to You. Copyright © 1980 Birdwing Music/ BMGSongs/EMIChristian Music Publishing/ Adm. by CopyCare.

FATHER OF LIFE, DRAW ME CLOSER, Lord, my heart is set on You: Darlene Zschech FATHER OF LIFE, DRAW ME CLOSER, Lord, my heart is set on You: Let me run the race of time With Your life enfolding mine, And let the peace of God, Let it reign.

O Holy Spirit, Lord, my comfort; Strengthen me, hold my head up high: And I stand upon Your truth, Bringing glory unto You, And let the peace of God, Let it reign.

O Lord, I hunger for more of You; Rise up within me, let me know Your truth. O Holy Spirit, saturate my soul, And let the life of God fill me now, Let Your healing power Breathe life and make me whole, And the peace of God, Let it reign.

Lenny LeBlanc & Paul Baloche 1151 ABOVE ALL POWERS Lenny LeBlanc & Paul Baloche ABOVE ALL powers, above all kings, Above all nature and all created things; Above all wisdom and all the ways of man, You were here before the world began. Above all kingdoms, above all thrones, Above all wonders the world has ever known; Above all wealth and treasures of the earth, There's no way to measure what You're worth.

Crucified, laid behind the stone; You lived to die, rejected and alone; Like a rose trampled on the ground, You took the fall and thought of me, Above all. Copyright © 1999 Lensongs Publishing/Integrity's Hosanna! Music/Sovereign Music UK

God and the gods 1 Corinthians 8:5-6

1 Corinthians 8:4 (ESV) “Therefore, as to the eating of food offered to idols, we know that ‘an idol has no real existence,’ and that ‘there is no God but one.’ …

1 Corinthians 8:5 (ESV) For although there may be … so-called gods in heaven or on earth —as indeed there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’—

1 Corinthians 8:6 (ESV) … yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.”

These other gods Who can they be? How should we relate to them?

Who can they be? God himself? Angels? Demons? Nothing at all?

God himself ?

Angels ?

Demons ?

Nothing at all ?

How should we relate to them?

1 Corinthians 8:5 (ESV) For although there may be … so-called gods in heaven or on earth —as indeed there are many ‘gods’ and many ‘lords’—

1 Corinthians 8:6 (ESV) … yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING Robert Robinson COME, THOU FOUNT of every blessing, Tune my heart to sing Thy grace; Streams of mercy, never ceasing, Call for songs of loudest praise Teach me some melodious sonnet, Sung by flaming tongues above. Praise His name! I'm fixed upon it, Name of God's unchanging love.

Here I raise mine Ebenezer; Hither by Thy help I'm come; And I hope, by Thy good pleasure, Safely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, Wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, Bought me with His precious blood.

O to grace how great a debtor Daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.

THERE’S A PLACE where the streets shine With the glory of the Lamb. Paul Oakley THERE’S A PLACE where the streets shine With the glory of the Lamb. There’s a way, we can go there, We can live there beyond time. Because of You, because of You, Because of Your love, Because of Your blood.

No more pain, no more sadness, No more suffering, no more tears. No more sin, no more sickness, No injustice, no more death. Because of You, because of You, Because of Your love, Because of Your blood.

All our sins are washed away, And we can live forever, Now we have this hope, Because of You. Oh, we’ll see You face to face, And we will dance together In the city of our God,

There is joy everlasting, There is gladness, there is peace. There is wine ever flowing, There’s a wedding, there’s a feast. Because of You, because of You, Because of Your love, Because of Your blood.

All our sins are washed away, And we can live forever, Now we have this hope, Because of You. Oh, we’ll see You face to face, And we will dance together In the city of our God, Copyright © 1995 Kingsway’s Thankyou Music.
