Brothers and Sisters,

This week, prayer will be held at the Brown’s Barn.

Pray for Micah and Grace’s wedding on Thursday at 6:30… See you there!

Our scripture focus on Sunday is Revelation 11, where we find what is for me, some of the most difficult imagery we’ve encountered so far… So please pray for me. I am confident however that this chapter covers the dramatic experiences of the Church of Jesus Christ before a hostile world. Here is the progression of the pictures in this chapter.

1. Measuring the temple to distinguish the true and the false, v1-2.

2. The two witnesses, v3-6.

3. The witnesses are struck down, v7-10.

4. The witnesses are vindicated, v11-15.

On Mike Davenport leading singing: Notice that we are having more men leading our singing and worship. As Mike has been spending more time in personal shepherding and meeting with the single women in the church at his house on Saturday, he will be shifting away from some of his time leading singing. Instead of Mike alone leasing, there will be a total of four men who will be leading the singing: Trent, Josh, Ash, and Mike will fill in when needed. Generally, these men will each be leading for an entire month, then pass it to the next man.

The songs we will be singing are,

1. Crown Him With Many Crowns

2. Christ Our Hope In Life & Death

3. Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

4. It Is Well With My Soul

5. Rise Up, Oh Church of God

CROWN HIM WITH MANY CROWNS

Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown Him with many crowns

The Lamb upon His throne

Hark! how the heav’nly anthem drowns

All music but its own!

Awake, my soul, and sing

Of Him who died for thee

And hail Him as thy matchless King

Thro’ all eternity

Crown Him the Lord of Love!

Behold His hands and side –

Rich wounds, yet visible above

In beauty glorified

All hail, Redeemer, hail!

For Thou Hast died for me

Thy praise and glory shall not fail

Thro’out eternity

Crown Him the Lord of life!

Who triumphed o’er the grave

Who rose victorious in the strife

For those He came to save

His glories now we sing

Who died and rose on high

Who died eternal life to bring

And lives that death may die

Crown Him the Lord of Heav’n!

One with the Father known

One with the Spirit thro’ Him giv’n

From yonder glorious throne

To Thee be endless praise

For Thou for us hast died

Be Thou, O Lord, thro’ endless days

Adored and magnified

CHRIST OUR HOPE IN LIFE AND DEATH

What is our hope in life and death?

Christ alone, Christ alone

What is our only confidence?

That our souls to him belong

Who holds our days within his hand?

What comes, apart from his command?

And what will keep us to the end?

The love of Christ, in which we stand

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

What truth can calm the troubled soul?

God is good, God is good

Where is his grace and goodness known?

In our great Redeemer’s blood

Who holds our faith when fears arise?

Who stands above the stormy trial?

Who sends the waves that bring us nigh

Unto the shore, the rock of Christ?

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

Unto the grave, what will we sing?

“Christ, he lives; Christ, he lives!”

And what reward will heaven bring?

Everlasting life with him

And we will rise to meet the Lord

Then sin and death will be destroyed

And we will feast in endless joy

When Christ is ours forevermore

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

O sing hallelujah!

Our hope springs eternal

O sing hallelujah!

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

Now and ever we confess

Christ our hope in life and death

IMMORTAL, INVISIBLE, GOD ONLY WISE

Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise

Immortal, invisible, God only wise

In light inaccessible hid from our eyes

Most blessed, most glorious, the Ancient of Days

Almighty, victorious – Thy great name we praise

Unresting, unhasting, and silent as light

Nor wanting, nor wasting, Thou rulest in might

Thy justice, like mountains, high soaring above

Thy clouds, which are fountains of goodness and love

To all, life Thou givest – to both great and small

In all life Thou livest – the true life of all

Thy wisdom so boundless, Thy mercy so free

Eternal Thy goodness for naught changeth Thee

Great Father of glory, pure Father of light

Thine angels adore Thee, all veiling their sight

All praise we would render – O help us to see

‘Tis only the splendor of light hideth Thee!

IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

It Is Well with My Soul

When peace like a river attendeth my way,

When sorrows like sea billows roll –

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say,

‘It is well, it is well with my soul.’

  It is well with my soul.

  It is well, it is well with my soul.

Tho’ Satan should buffet, tho’ trials should come,

Let this blest assurance control –

That Christ hath regarded my helpless estate

And hath shed His own blood for my soul!

My sin – O the bliss of this glorious tho’t –

My sin – not in part, but the whole

Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

And, Lord, haste the day when the faith shall be sight,

The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;

The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend;

‘Even so’ – it is well with my soul!

RISE UP, O CHURCH OF GOD

Rise Up, O Church of God

Rise up, O Church of God!

Have done with lesser things

Give heart and mind and soul and strength

To serve the King of kings

Rise up, O Church of God!

His kingdom tarries long

Bring in the day of brotherhood

And end the night of wrong

Rise up, O sons of God!

The Church for you doth wait

Her strength unequal to her task

Rise up, and make her great!

Lift high the cross of Christ!

Tread where His feet have trod

As followers of the Son of Man

Rise up, O Church of God!
