WORSHIP IN SONG

BLESSED ASSURANCEBlessed assurance, Jesus is mine;

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;

Angels descending, bring from aboveEchoes of mercy, whispers of love.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, all is at rest,I in my Savior am happy and blest;

Watching and waiting, looking above,Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

This is my story, this is my song,Praising my Savior all the day long.

LIVING HOPE How great the chasm that lay between usHow high the mountain I could not climb

In desperation, I turned to heavenAnd spoke Your name into the night

Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindnessTore through the shadows of my soul

The work is finished, the end is writtenJesus Christ, my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy?What heart could fathom such boundless grace?

The God of ages stepped down from gloryTo wear my sin and bear my shameThe cross has spoken, I am forgivenThe King of kings calls me His ownBeautiful Savior, I’m Yours forever

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Hallelujah, praise the One who set me freeHallelujah, death has lost its grip on me

You have broken every chainThere’s salvation in Your name

Jesus Christ, my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promiseYour buried body began to breatheOut of the silence, the Roaring Lion

Declared the grave has no claim on meJesus, Yours is the victory

PSALM 96:1-4Oh sing to the Lord a new song;sing to the Lord, all the earth!

Sing to the Lord, bless his name;tell of his salvation from day to day.Declare his glory among the nations,

his marvelous works among all the peoples!For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;

he is to be feared above all gods.

WHAT IS REPENTANCE?

Metanoia (Greek) – a change of

Shubaw (Hebrew) – to back.

Mark 1:15 – “Jesus went into Galilee, proclaiming the good news of God. “The time has come,” he said. “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!”

Repentance is a process that you.

Three things God gives us when you have the courage to REPENT.

God gives us His (v.3, 6)

Write down the things you feel God has promised you:

God gives us His (v.5)

God gives us His (v.7-8)

11 After reading, have discussion using the following questions:

• Who told these three stories? (Jesus)• Why do you think Jesus told stories like these? (He wanted to teach people and help them understand His ways.)•• What do you see that is the same in all 3 stories? (Things were lost. Celebrating happened when those things were found.)• What does this tell us about God? • How do you think God feels about you?• Think of someone in your life that doesn’t know Jesus. Spend time praying for them.

Start out by playing a game of hide and seek. Let one person hide and the rest of the family goes tofind the one person that is hiding. After a few roundsof playing introduce the story by connecting that Jesus told 3 different stories about lost things being found.

Read Luke 15. If you have preschoolers, you can use the summary below:Jesus taught, “Is there one here among you who wouldnot leave his herd of ninety-nine sheep to search for alost sheep until he finds it? When he finds the lost sheep,the shepherd puts him on his shoulders. He calls out tohis neighbors and friends: ’his neighbors and friends: ’Rejoice with me! I have foundmy lost sheep!’” Jesus said that in heaven there will bemore joy over one lost person who repent of his sin thanover ninety-nine people who do not need to repent.

A woman had ten silver coins. One of them was lost. Thewoman looked everywhere. She swept the house and kepton searching for the coin. When she found it, she called herfriends to celebfriends to celebrate with her. Jesus said that in that sameway, the angels rejoice when one person turns to God.

A man had two sons. One day the younger son said to hisfather, “Give me my share of the inheritance.” So the fathergave the younger son his part. The younger son packed hisbags and went to a distant land where he lived foolishlyand wasted his inheritance. Being tired and hungry, hedecided to go homedecided to go home. He said to himself, “Even the servantsin my father’s house eat better than this! I will go to myfather and ask if I can work for him because I am no longerworthy to be called his son.” So the son headed for home.While he was still a long way off, his father saw the soncoming toward home. The father ran to him, threw his armsaround him, and kissed him. The son said, “I have sinnedagainst God and against youagainst God and against you.” But the father told hisservants, “Bring the best robe for my son. Put a ring onhis finger and sandals on his feet. Let’s have a feast andcelebrate! This son of mine was lost, and now he is found!”

Hello Families,

Since we will not be meeting at our church on Sundays for the foreseeable future,you can plan on the Children’s Ministry sending you family worship activities each week.

I have been bombarded with news, articles, emails and text messages. It’s overwhelming,to say the least. The most encouraging article I have read is this one by Andy Crouch. Whilereading it, I cried tears of overwhelming joy that Jesus is my Savior, and I am eager to see whatGod is doing thGod is doing through this.

We will also be utilizing social media to interact with you and your kids throughout the week. Pleasefollow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest!
