WE GATHER TOGETHER FOR WORSHIP

Hello

Nothing But The Blood

What can wash away my sin  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  
What can make me whole again  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  

This is all my hope and peace  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  
This is all my righteousness 
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  

O precious is the flow  
That makes me white as snow  
No other fount I know 
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  

For my pardon this I see  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  
For my cleansing this my plea
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  

Glory, glory this I sing  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  
All my praise for this I bring  
Nothing but the blood of Jesus  

WE HEAR GOD'S STORY IN OUR LIVES

Scripture Reading: Matthew 4: 1-11

 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was famished. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” But he answered, “It is written, 

‘One does not live by bread alone,    but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”   Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, saying to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 

‘He will command his angels concerning you,’    and ‘On their hands they will bear you up,  so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”   Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”   

 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! for it is written, 

‘Worship the Lord your God,    and serve only him.’ ” 

Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels came and waited on him.  

Sermon: " Encounters With Christ - The Tempter"

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me

What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer  
There is no more for heaven now to give  
He is my joy, my righteousness and freedom  
My steadfast love  
My deep and boundless peace  

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus  
For my life is wholly bound to His  
Oh how strange and divine  
I can sing all is mine  
Yet not I, but through Christ in me    

The night is dark, but I am not forsaken  
For by my side, the Savior He will stay 
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing  
For in my need, His power is displayed  

To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me  
Through the deepest valley He will lead  
Oh the night has been won  
And I shall overcome  
Yet not I, but through Christ in me  

No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven  
The future sure, the price it has been paid  
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon  
And He was raised, to overthrow the grave  

To this I hold, my sin has been defeated  
Jesus now and ever is my plea  
Oh the chains are released  
I can sing, I am free  
Yet not I, but through Christ in me  

With every breath, I long to follow Jesus  
For He has said, that He will bring me home  
And day by day, I know He will renew me  
Until I stand, with joy before the throne  

To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus  
All the glory evermore to Him  
When the race is complete  
Still my lips shall repeat  
Yet not I but through Christ in me  

WE GIVE BACK TO GOD AND OTHERS

Blessing Of Our Tithes And Offerings

Word Of God Speak

I’m finding myself at a loss for words  
And the funny thing is, it’s okay  
The last thing I need is to be heard  
But to hear what You would say  

Word of God speak 
Would You pour down like rain  
Washing my eyes to see Your majesty  
To be still and know  
That You’re in this place  
Please let me stay and rest    
In Your holiness  
Word of God speak  

I’m finding myself in the midst of You  
Beyond the music, beyond the noise  
All that I need is to be with You  
And in the quiet hear Your voice  

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow  
Praise him all creatures here below  
Praise him above ye heavenly host 
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.  

WE OFFER OUR PRAYERS TO GOD

Time Of Prayer

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. 

Affirmation Of Faith

I believe in God the Father Almighty  
Maker of heaven and earth  

And in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord  
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,  
Born of the Virgin Mary,  
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,  
Was crucified, dead, and buried;  
The third day he rose from the dead;  
He ascended into heaven  
And sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty  
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.  

I believe in the Holy Spirit,  
The holy catholic church,  
The communion of saints,  
The forgiveness of sins,  
The resurrection of the body,  
And the life everlasting. Amen.   

WE GO OUT TO LIVE AS GOD'S PEOPLE

The Plans

When I am anxious, when I am afraid  
I take it to God, I call on His name  
If the mover of mountains  
Is listening to me  
Why should I worry  
Why should I fear anything  

For I know the plans He has for me  
Yes I know the plans He has for me  
For my good, to give me hope and a future  

When I am waiting for His promise to come  
Sometimes He’s silent but I’m never alone  
He walks in the valley  
He quiets the storm  
He stands in the fire 
So why should I fear anymore  

All my life, all I’ve seen  
Your endless love surrounding me  
With ev’ry breath, I will be found  
By You  

If I set sail or spread my wings  
And find myself on the farthest sea  
You’re waiting there  
And I will be found by You  
I will be found by You  

Benediction
