Love Divine All Loves Excelling

Love divine all loves excelling Joy of heav’n to earth come down
Fix in us Thy humble dwelling All Thy faithful mercies crown

Jesus Thou art all compassion Pure unbounded love Thou art
Visit us with Thy salvation Enter ev’ry trembling heart

Into ev’ry troubled breast Let us all in Thee inherit
Breathe O breathe Thy loving Spirit Into ev’ry troubled breast Let us all in Thee inherit Let us find the promised rest

Take away our bent to sinning Alpha and Omega be
End of faith as its beginning Set our hearts at liberty

Come Almighty to deliver Let us all Thy grace receive
Suddenly return and never Never more Thy temples leave

Thee we would be always blessing Serve Thee as Thy hosts above
Pray and praise Thee Without ceasing Glory in Thy perfect love

Finish then Thy new creation Pure and spotless let us be
Let us see Thy great salvation Perfectly restored in Thee

Changed from glory into glory Till in heav’n we take our place
Till we cast our crowns Before Thee Lost in wonder love and praise

Have Thine Own Way

Thou art the Potter I am the clay Mold me and make me after Thy will
Have Thine own way Lord Have Thine own way Thou art the Potter I am the clay Mold me and make me after Thy will While I am waiting yielded and still

Search me and try me Master today As in Thy presence humbly I bow

Hold o’er my being absolute sway
Have Thine own way Lord Have Thine own way Hold o’er my being absolute sway Fill with Thy Spirit till all shall see Christ only always living in me

Tithes and Offering

At The Cross Sanctuary Choir

Alas and did my Savior bleed
And did my sov'reign die Would He devote That sacred head For sinners such as I

At the cross At the cross Where I first saw the light
And the burden of my Heart rolled away It was there by faith I received my sight And now I am happy all the day

He groaned upon the tree Amazing pity grace unknown
Was it for crimes That I have done He groaned upon the tree Amazing pity grace unknown And love beyond degree

For man the creature's sin
Well might the sun In darkness hide And shut His glories in When Christ The mighty Maker died For man the creature's sin

Here Lord I give myself away
But drops of grief Can ne'er repay The debt of love I owe Here Lord I give myself away 'Tis all that I can do

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) Now the Lord said to Samuel, “How long will you grieve over Saul, since I have rejected him from being king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go; I will send you to Jesse the Bethlehemite, for I have selected a king for Myself among his sons.” 2 But Samuel said, “How can I go?

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) When Saul hears of it, he will kill me.” And the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the Lord.’ 3 You shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one whom I designate to you.” 4 So Samuel did what

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) the Lord said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, “Do you come in peace?” 5 He said, “In peace; I have come to sacrifice to the Lord. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice.” He also consecrated Jesse and his

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) sons and invited them to the sacrifice. 6 When they entered, he looked at Eliab and thought, “Surely the Lord’s anointed is before Him.” 7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him;

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” 8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 9 Next Jesse made Shammah pass by.

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) And he said, “The Lord has not chosen this one either.” 10 Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, “The Lord has not chosen these.” 11 And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the children?”

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” 12 So he sent and brought him in.

1 Sam 16:1–13 (NASB) Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the Lord said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is he.” 13Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

Kingly Character Kingly character is the kind of character that glorifies God, builds His Kingdom and is the product of the power of His Holy Spirit working in one’s heart.

Kingly Character Will God, will others, will you find the person of kingly character in __________ ___________?

Kingly Character 1. The eyes of God.

Kingly Character But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” (v. 7)

A person’s character flows out of that which is in his/her heart.
Kingly Character A person’s character flows out of that which is in his/her heart.

Mark 7:20–23 20And He was saying, “That which proceeds out of the man, that is what defiles the man. 21 “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, 22 deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality,

Mark 7:20–23 envy, slander, pride and foolishness. 23 “All these evil things proceed from within and defile the man.”

2. The power of His Holy Spirit
Kingly Character 2. The power of His Holy Spirit

The source of Kingly character
Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. (v. 13).

37 Now when they heard this, they were pierced to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brethren, what shall we do?” 38 Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 2:37–38).

The process of building Kingly character
And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; 4and perseverance, proven character; and proven character, hope; 5and hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out within our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us (Rom 5:3–5).

Kingly Character 3. The unexpected son
And Samuel said to Jesse, “Are these all the children?” And he said, “There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep.” Then Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here.” (v. 11).

1 Corinthians 1:27–31 but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong, 28 and the base things of the world and the despised God has chosen, the things that are not, so that He may nullify the things that are,

1 Corinthians 1:27–31 29 so that no man may boast before God. 30 But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption, 31 so that, just as it is written, “Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

Since Jesus Came into My Heart

What a wonderful change in my heart has been wrought
Since Jesus came into my heart I have light in my soul for which long I had sought

Since Jesus came into my heart
Floods of joy o’er my soul like the sea billows roll

I’m possessed of a hope that is steadfast and sure
Since Jesus came into my heart And no dark clouds of doubt now my pathway obscure

There’s a light in the valley of death now for me
Since Jesus came into my heart And the gates of the city beyond I can see

I shall go there to dwell in that city I know
Since Jesus came into my heart And I’m happy so happy as onward I go

Welcome Daniel Palmer

Text “Welcome” to

Come Thou Fount Come Thou King

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 the mount I'm fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love

I was lost in utter darkness 'Til You came and rescued me
I was bound by all my sin when Your love came and set me free

Now my soul can sing a new song Now my heart has found a home
Now Your grace is always with me And I'll never be alone

Come Thou Fount come Thou King Come Thou precious Prince of Peace
Hear Your Bride to You we sing Come Thou Fount of our blessing

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 Lord Take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above

Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here

There's nothing worth more that will ever come close
No thing can compare You're our living hope Your Presence Repeat Once

I've tasted and seen of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free and my shame is undone In Your Presence Lord Repeat Once

Holy Spirit You are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere Your glory God is what our hearts long for To be overcome by Your Presence Lord Repeat Once
