WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

Praise To The Lord (Joyful, Joyful)  
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty  
The King of creation  
O my soul, praise Him  
For He is your health and salvation  
Come all who hear, now to His temple draw near  
Join me in glad adoration  

Praise to the Lord, above all things  
So wondrously reigning  
Shelters thee under His wings and   
So gently sustaining  
Have you not seen all that is needful has been  
Sent by His gracious ordaining  

Praise to the Lord, who will prosper your work  
And defend you  
Surely His goodness and mercy  
Shall daily attend you 
Ponder anew what the Almighty can do  
If with His love He befriends you  

Joyful, joyful we adore Thee  
God of glory, Lord of love  
Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee  
Op’ning to the sun above  

Praise to the Lord, oh let all that is in me  
Adore Him  
All that hath life and breath come now  
With praises before Him  
Let the amen sound from His people again 
Gladly forever adore Him  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

 Scripture Reading/ Michele Binkley 
1 Thessalonians 4:13–18  But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who have died, so that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died. For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will by no means precede those who have died. For the Lord himself, with a cry of command, with the archangel’s call and with the sound of God’s trumpet, will descend from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the air; and so we will be with the Lord forever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.  

 1 Corinthians 15:35–38  But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. And as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be, but a bare seed, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.  

Sermon: Death, Sleep, and Resurrection

 O Praise The Name  
I cast my mind to Calvary  
Where Jesus bled and died for me  
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet  
My Savior on that cursed tree  

His body bound and drenched in tears  
They laid Him down in Joseph’s tomb  
The entrance sealed by heavy stone  
Messiah still and all alone  

O praise the name of the Lord our God  
O praise His name forever more  
For endless days we will sing Your praise  
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God  

Then on the third at break of dawn  
The Son of heaven rose again  
O trampled death where is your sting  
The angels roar for Christ the King  

He shall return in robes of white  
The blazing Son shall pierce the night  
And I will rise among the saints  
My gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

 I Am Not Alone  
When I walk through deep waters  
I know that You will be with me  
When I’m standing in the fire  
I will not be overcome 
Through the valley of the shadow
I will not fear  

I am not alone, I am not alone  
You will go before me  
You will never leave me  
I am not alone, I am not alone  
You will go before me  
You will never leave me  

In the midst of deep sorrow  
I see Your light is breaking through  
The dark of night will not overtake me  
I am pressing into You  
Lord You fight my ev’ry battle  
And I will not fear  

You amaze me, redeem me  
You call me as Your own  

You’re my strength, You’re my defender  
You’re my refuge in the storm  
Through these trials  
You’ve always been faithful  
You bring healing to my soul  

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

Holy Spirit Come 
I’m coming with a heart of worship  
I’m bringing in a brand new song  
I’m ready to see the unthinkable 
I’m ready for a miracle  
Hearts praying for a fresh encounter  
Souls looking to the Living God 
I’m ready for a real revival, oh Holy Spirit  

 Come like a flood, like a fire, Holy Spirit  
Fall in this place  
Fill our hearts, Holy Spirit  
Come like a flood, like a fire, Holy Spirit  
Come, oh Holy Spirit come  

We’re on the edge of a new beginning  
God we know You have so much more  
We’re looking to a new horizon  
We’re praying for your rain to pour  
An overflowing of true redemption  
An overflowing of your kingdom  
We’re ready for a real revival  
Oh Holy Spirit  

O can you feel it, Heaven is reaching  
Oh, can you hear it, our God is speaking  
Oh, can you see it, He’s got your healing  
Oh just receive it, receive the freedom  

Congregational Benediction  
Hear, O followers of Christ: The Lord is our God, the Lord alone.  
We will love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our strength.  
We will love our neighbors as ourselves, as Jesus taught:  showing mercy, seeking justice, walking humbly, and offering grace.  
We will hold these words in our hearts and let them shape our lives.  
We will teach them to our children, and speak of them in our homes and wherever we go.  
We will surround ourselves with reminders of God’s love—  in what we choose, in what we say, and in how we live.  
For this is the way of Christ. This is the way of life.
