To God Be the Glory

Great things He hath done
To God be the glory Great things He hath done So loved He the world That He gave us His Son

And opened the lifegate
Who yielded His life An atonement for sin And opened the lifegate That all may go in

Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice! Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father Through Jesus the Son And give Him the glory Great things He hath done

O perfect redemption The purchase of blood To every believer The promise of God

The vilest offender Who truly believes That moment from Jesus A pardon receives

Great things He hath done And great our rejoicing
He hath taught us Great things He hath done And great our rejoicing Through Jesus the Son

But purer and higher And greater will be Our wonder our victory When Jesus we see

Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision O Lord of my heart Naught be all else to me Save that Thou art Thou my best thought By day or by night Waking or sleeping Thy presence my light

Be Thou my wisdom And Thou my true Word I ever with Thee And Thou with me Lord Thou my great Father I Thy true son Thou in me dwelling And I with Thee one

Riches I heed not Or man’s empty praise Thou mine inheritance Now and always Thou and Thou only First in my heart High King of heaven My treasure Thou art

May I reach heaven’s joys O bright heaven’s Sun
High King of heaven My victory won May I reach heaven’s joys O bright heaven’s Sun Heart of my own heart Whatever befall Still be my vision O Ruler of all

Great is Thy faithfulness O God my Father There is no shadow
Of turning with Thee Thou changest not Thy compassions they fail not As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be

Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning New mercies I see All I have needed Thy hand hath provided Lord unto me

And springtime and harvest Sun moon and stars In their courses above
Summer and winter And springtime and harvest Sun moon and stars In their courses above Join with all nature In manifold witness To thy great faithfulness Mercy and love

And a peace that endureth Thine own dear presence
Pardon for sin And a peace that endureth Thine own dear presence To cheer and to guide Strength for today And bright hope for tomorrow Blessings all mine With ten thousand beside

His Glory In Our Midst Zechariah 9:16–10:4

Zechariah 9:16–10:4 (NASB) And the Lord their God will save them in that day As the flock of His people; For they are as the stones of a crown, Sparkling in His land. 17 For what comeliness and beauty will be theirs! Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

Zechariah 9:16–10:4 (NASB) Ask rain from the Lord at the time of the spring rain—The Lord who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man. 2 For the teraphim speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain.

Zechariah 9:16–10:4 (NASB) Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd. 3 “My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the male goats; For the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, And will make them like His majestic horse in battle.

Zechariah 9:16–10:4 (NASB) 4 “From them will come the cornerstone, From them the tent peg, From them the bow of battle, From them every ruler, all of them together.

We need to increase our understanding of salvation.
His Glory In Our Midst We need to increase our understanding of salvation.

God’s work of salvation is for the NOW and not just the NOT YET.
His Glory In Our Midst God’s work of salvation is for the NOW and not just the NOT YET.

His Glory In Our Midst God’s work of salvation is for the NOW and not just the NOT YET. God’s work of salvation is for US and not just ME.

His Glory In Our Midst God’s work of salvation in us as His PEOPLE, His FLOCK, His CROWN JEWELS is so that the people of His land (Roanoke Valley) can get a glimpse of His goodness and beauty…His glory in our midst. Two essential ministries for appropriating God’s glory in our midst 1. The ministry of PRAYER. 1 Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain— The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man. Luke 11:9-13 ( NASB ) 9“So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10“For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened. …. how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?”

His Glory In Our Midst Ask rain from the LORD at the time of the spring rain—The LORD who makes the storm clouds; And He will give them showers of rain, vegetation in the field to each man (verse 1).

His Glory In Our Midst 9 “So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 10 “For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.….How much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?” (Luke 11:9–13)

His Glory In Our Midst Two essential ministries for appropriating God’s glory in our midst: The ministry of PRAYER. The ministry of His WORD.

His Glory In Our Midst For the teraphim speak iniquity, And the diviners see lying visions And tell false dreams; They comfort in vain. Therefore the people wander like sheep, They are afflicted, because there is no shepherd. 3 “My anger is kindled against the shepherds, And I will punish the male goats; (verses 2 – 3a)

His Glory In Our Midst THE PRIMARY GOD-ASSIGNED TASK TO HIS APPOINTED SHEPHERD OF HIS FLOCK IS THAT OF SPEAKING FORTH THE WORD OF GOD, THE WORD OF TRUTH.

His Glory In Our Midst “But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (Acts 6:4)

His Glory In Our Midst “If our preaching does not center on Christ –from Genesis to Revelation – no matter how good or helpful, it is not a proclamation of God’s Word. (Preaching Christ Alone by Dr. Michael Horton)

His Glory In Our Midst “Good communicators can get away with the lack of content by their witty, anecdotal style, but they are still unfaithful as ministers of the Word, even if they help people and keep folks coming back for more.” (Preaching Christ Alone by Dr. Michael Horton)

The true ministry of God’s Word points us to CHRIST…AND CHRIST ALONE!
His Glory In Our Midst The true ministry of God’s Word points us to CHRIST…AND CHRIST ALONE!

His Glory In Our Midst For the Lord of hosts has visited His flock, the house of Judah, And will make them like His majestic horse in battle. 4 “From them will come the cornerstone, From them the tent peg, From them the bow of battle, From them every ruler, all of them together.

His Glory In Our Midst He is our CORNERSTONE.

His Glory In Our Midst He is our CORNERSTONE. He is our TENT PEG.

His Glory In Our Midst He is our CORNERSTONE. He is our TENT PEG. He is our VICTORY!

The Solid Rock

My hope is built on nothing less Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame But wholly lean on Jesus' name

On Christ the solid Rock I stand All other ground is sinking sand

When darkness seems to hide His face I rest on His unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale My anchor holds within the veil

His oath His covenant his blood Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way He then is all my Hope and Stay

When He shall come with trumpet sound O may I then in Him be found
Dressed in His righteousness alone Faultless to stand before the throne

This Is Amazing Grace

The King above all kings
Who breaks the power Of sin and darkness Whose love is mighty And so much stronger The King of Glory The King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth With holy thunder Who leaves us breathless
In awe and wonder The King of Glory The King above all kings

That You would take my place That You would bear my cross
This is amazing grace This is unfailing love That You would take my place That You would bear my cross

All that You've done for me
You laid down Your life That I would be set free Jesus I sing for All that You've done for me

Who brings our chaos Back into order Who makes the orphan A son and daughter The King of Glory The King above all kings

Who rules the nations With truth and justice Shines like the sun in All of its brilliance The King of Glory The King above all kings

That You would take my place That You would bear my cross
This is amazing grace This is unfailing love That You would take my place That You would bear my cross

All that You've done for me
You laid down Your life That I would be set free Jesus I sing for All that You've done for me

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave conquers the grave

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
Worthy is the King who conquered the grave Worthy worthy worthy

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

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

‘Til on that cross as Jesus died The wrath of God was satisfied
For ev’ry sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live

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

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
‘Til He returns or calls me home Here in the pow’r of Christ I’ll stand
