WELCOME

THRIVE

Here in this worn and weary land

Where many a dream has died

Like a tree planted by the water
We never will run dry

So living water flowing through
God we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls
With one desire

Just to know You and yo make You known
We lift Your name on High
Shine like the sun made darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more
Than ordinary lives
It's time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive

Woah
Woah

Into Your word we're digging deep
To know our Father's heart

Into the world we're reaching out
To show them who You are

So living water flowing through
God we thirst for more of You
Fill our hearts and flood our souls
With one desire

Just to know You and to make You known
We lift Your name on High
Shine like the sun made darkness run and hide
We know we were made for so much more
Than ordinary lives
It's time for us to more than just survive
We were made to thrive

Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable,
Love unstoppable, anything is possible
Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable,
Love unstoppable, anything is possible
Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable,
Love unstoppable, anything is possible
Joy unspeakable, faith unsinkable,
Love unstoppable, anything is possible

Woah
Woah

We were made to thrive

I’LL FLY AWAY

Verse 1
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away;
To a home on God's celestial shore,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Chorus
I'll fly away, Oh Glory
I'll fly away; (in the morning)
When I die, Hallelujah, by and by,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away).

Verse 2
When the shadows of this life have gone,
I'll fly away;
Like a bird from prison bars has flown,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

Verse 3
Just a few more weary days and then,
I'll fly away;
To a land where joy shall never end,
I'll fly away (I'll fly away)

WHAT A MIGHTY GOD WE SERVE

Verse 1
Our Father’s wondrous works we see
In the earth and sea and sky;
He rules o’er all in majesty,
From His royal throne on high.

Chorus
What a mighty God we serve!
What a mighty God we serve!
Reigning now above, on His throne of love,
What a mighty God we serve!

Verse 2
The raging winds and waves are calm,
When He says to them, “Be still”;
The heavens praise Him in a psalm,
And the angels do His will.

Verse 3
He maketh worlds by His command,
Weighs the mountains great and high;
He metes the waters in His hand,
Spans the lofty, starlit sky.

Verse 4
Our God, to save from sin’s control,
Gave His Son: a sacrifice;
His grace, abounding in the soul,
Makes the earth a paradise.

THIS IS THE TIME I MUST SING

I have tasted of freedom
I can go where He's leading
For shackles can hold me no more
I have learned of life's essence
I stand in His presence
And sing with my heart He is Lord
There are days filled with sorrow
Plans for tomorrow
But this is the time I must sing
And I know there's a reason
Why in His own season
He gives me a song I can sing

So keep silent ye mountains
Ye fields and ye fountains
For this is the time I must sing
It's the time to sing praises
To the rock of the ages
This is the time I must sing

If I've seen and I done
If I've gained and I've won
All the good things that life ever brings
Still I've tasted enough
Of life's miracle stuff
That forever I just have to sing
If the rocks would cry out
Should his praises die out
The stones must keep silent as long
As I've breath for the singing
His praise will keep ringing
And I will keep singing my song

So keep silent ye mountains
Ye fields and ye fountains
For this is the time I must sing
It's the time to sing praises
To the rock of the ages
This is the time I must sing

PRAYER

SERMON: SHINING A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS (1 PETER 3:8-17)

8 Finally, all of you, be like-minded, be sympathetic, love one another, be compassionate and humble. 9 Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult. On the contrary, repay evil with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing. 10 For,

“Whoever would love life
and see good days
must keep their tongue from evil
and their lips from deceitful speech.
11 They must turn from evil and do good;
they must seek peace and pursue it.
12 For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous
and his ears are attentive to their prayer,
but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.”

13 Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good? 14 But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. “Do not fear their threats; do not be frightened.” 15 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 17 For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

What should a Christian do when there seems to be an abundance of hate, pain, and negativity in the world?

1. Set the Example

2. Choose to Bless Others

3. Stay Focused on Christ’s Authority

4. Speak the Truth

MORE ABOUT JESUS

Verse 1
More about Jesus would I know,
More of His grace to others show;
More of his saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Chorus
More, more about Jesus,
More, more about Jesus;
More of His saving fullness see,
More of His love who died for me.

Verse 2
More about Jesus let me learn,
More of his holy will discern;
Spirit of God, my teacher be,
Showing the things of Christ to me.

Verse 3
More about Jesus in His Word,
Holding communion with my Lord;
Hearing his voice in ev'ry line,
Making each faithful saying mine.

Verse 4
More about Jesus on his throne,
Riches in glory all His own;
More if His kingdom's sure increase;
More of His coming, Prince of peace.
