Throughout the endless ages

You will be crowned with praises

Lord Most High!

Exalted in every nation

Sovereign of all creation

Lord Most High! Be magnified

Be magnified!

From the ends of the earth

From the hearts of the weak

From the shouts of the strong

From the lips of all people

This song we raise Lord

Throughout the endless ages

You will be crowned with praises

You will be crowned with praises

Be magnified

I WILL CALL UPON THE LORD

Psalm 18

I will call upon the Lord

(Echo)

Who is worthy to be praised

(Echo)

So shall I be saved from mine enemies

(Echo)

(Echo)

So shall I be saved from mine enemies

(Echo)

14

The Lord liveth

and blessed be The Rock

And may the God of my salvation be exalted!

The Lord liveth

(Echo)

Who is worthy to be praised

(Echo)

So shall I be saved from mine enemies

(Echo)

16

God’s Immanence – Part 2By immanence we mean God’s presence and

activity within nature. The dictionary defines it as “existing or remaining within.”

The emphasis here is on God’s activity within the regular patterns of nature; He is the God of natural law. God indwells His creation and its processes.

20

God’s ImmanenceThere are several implications to God’s

immanence.

First, He is not limited to working miraculously to accomplish his purposes.

For instance, it is also God’s work when, through the application of medical knowledge and skill of a physician, a patient is successfully brought back to health. Healing does not have to be supernatural for it to be of God.

21

God’s Immanence

Secondly, God may use persons and organizations that are not openly Christian. In biblical times, God did not limit himself to working through the covenant nation of Israel or through the church.

Even non-Christians do some genuinely good and commendable things which contribute to God’s purposes in the world.

22

God’s Immanence

Thirdly, we should have an appreciation for all that God has created. While nature is given to humans to satisfy their legitimate needs, they ought not to exploit it for their own greed.

Along the same line, God’s immanence has implications regarding our attitude to fellow humans. God is genuinely present within everyone (though not in the same special sense in which He indwells Christians).

23

God’s Immanence

Fourthly, we can learn something about God from his creation. All that is, has been brought into being by God, and further, is actively indwelt by Him.

We may therefore detect clues about what God is like by observing the behavior of the created universe.

24

God’s Immanence

For example, we can see a definite plan of logic.

Those who believe that God is sporadic, arbitrary, or whimsical, and that his actions are contradictory, have not taken a close and serious look at creation.

25

God’s ImmanenceFinally, God’s immanence means that there are

points at which the gospel can make contact with the unbeliever.

If God is to some extent present and active within the whole of the created world, He is present and active within humans who have not made a personal commitment to Him.

Thus, there are points at which they will be sensitive to the truth of the gospel message.

IT IS WELL /PRAISE THE NAME

Horatio G. Spafford

When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou has 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

It is well

With my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul

My sin, O the bliss of this glorious thought

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!

It is well

With my soul

It is well, it is well with 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

It is well

With my soul

It is well, it is well with my soul

Praise the name of JesusPraise the name of Jesus He’s my rock, He’s my fortress He’s my deliverer in Him will I trustPraise the name of Jesus

GOD’S POWER REVEALED IN THE CLOUDS

Come now, ye great, before Jehovah

Bring honor to his majesty

His mighty voice is heard with thunder

Sink down into the dust and pray

52

The mighty God show forth his pow’r

His thunders roll in clouds on high

His lightning flashes on the waters

And sudden torrents from the sky

53

God’s voice resounds upon the waters

His thund’ring word all things does shake

Proclaims His vengeance to His haters

And causes earth and rocks to quake!

54

With glory, majesty and pow’r

Resounds the threat’ning voice of God

With flaming message, thrilling shower

He shows to us His chast’ning rod

55

Therefore, mankind, of every nation

Abase yourselves, do not delay

Observe this wondrous indication

That soon will come a judgment day!

56

The Lord, first threat’ning in a storm

Will smite the world with curse and ban ---

Oh, then repent and seek the Savior

Who died to rescue sinful men!

57

The Lord is as a King exalted

With wondrous might, and in the sky

Has set His rainbow as a token

That grace and mercy now are nigh

58

Therefore, ye nations, heed the wise

His might and power recognize

He’ll change His wrath to grace and favor

Give rest and peace in Paradise

59

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

In heavenly armor we’ll enter the land

The battle belongs to the Lord!

No weapon that’s fashioned against us will stand

The battle belongs to the Lord!

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord!

When the power of darkness comes in like a flood

The battle belongs to the Lord!

He’s raised up a standard, the power of His blood

The battle belongs to the Lord!

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord!

When your enemy presses in hard do not fear

The battle belongs to the Lord!

Take courage, my friend, your redemption is near

The battle belongs to the Lord!

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord

We sing glory, honor, power and strength to the Lord!

The Glory of the Cross

Please be seated

68

What wisdom once devised the plan

Where all our sin and pride

Was placed upon the perfect Lamb

Who suffered bled and died

69

The wisdom of a sovereign God

Whose greatness will be shown

When those who crucified Your Son

Rejoice around Your throne

70

What righteousness was there revealed

That sets the guilty free

That justifies ungodly men and calls the filthy clean

71

A righteousness that proved to all

Your justice has been met

A holy wrath is satisfied through one atoning death

72

And oh the glory of the Cross

That You would send Your Son for us

I gladly count my life as loss

That I might come to know

The glory of, the glory of the Cross

73

What mercy now has been proclaimed

For those who would believe

A love incomprehensible, our minds could not conceive

74

A mercy that forgives our sin

That makes us like Your Son

And now we’re loved forevermore

Because of what You’ve done

75

And oh the glory of the Cross

That You would send Your Son for us

I gladly count my life as loss

That I might come to know

The glory of, the glory of the Cross

HEBREWS 8:7-13 (NIV)For if there had been nothing wrong with that first

covenant, no place would have been sought for another. But God found fault with the people and said:

“The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

“It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand to lead them out of Egypt, because they did not remain faithful to my covenant, and I turned away from them, declares the Lord.

“This is the covenant I will establish with the people of Israel after that time, declares the Lord. I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts.

“I will be their God, and they will be my people. No longer will they teach their neighbor, or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’ because they will all know me, from the least of them to the greatest.

“For I will forgive their wickedness and will remember their sins no more.”

By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear.

This is the Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God
