PREPARATION SONG

This is Amazing Grace

Jeremy Riddle / Josh Farro / Phil Wickham

Verse 1 Who breaks the power of sin and darkness Whose love is mighty and so much stronger The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Verse 2

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder

The King of Glory, the King above all kings

Chorus This is amazing grace This is unfailing love

That You would take my place That You would bear my cross

You lay down Your life That I would be set free

Oh, Jesus, I sing for All that You've done for me

Verse 3

Who brings our chaos back into order Who makes the orphan a son and daughter

The King of Glory, the King of Glory

Verse 4 Who rules the nations with truth and justice

Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance The King of Glory, the King above all kings

{Chorus}

WORSHIP IN SONG

Bridge Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy is the King who conquered the grave (repeat 2x)

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain

Worthy, worthy, worthy

{Chorus}

Ending All that You've done for me

His Mercy is More Matt Papa & Matt Boswell

Verse 1

What love could remember, no wrongs we have done Omniscient all-knowing, He counts not their sum

Thrown into a sea, without bottom or shore Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Verse 2

What patience would wait, as we constantly roam What Father so tender, is calling us home

He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Chorus

Praise the Lord, His mercy is more Stronger than darkness, new every morn

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

Verse 3 What riches of kindness, He lavished on us

His blood was the payment, His life was the cost We stood 'neath a debt, we could never afford

Our sins they are many, His mercy is more

{Chorus} x2

Ending Our sins they are many, His mercy is more.

WORSHIP IN SONG

You are Enough (You Alone) Petra Funk

Chorus

You are enough for me Lord where you are is peace I wan t to trust in you alone

Lord you are all I need Oh please reveal your feet

Teach me to follow you alone

Verse 1 I don’t ever want to be satisfied

With the things of this world May Your glory be my only goal I’m a sinner and I get off track

rom your calling Lord Teach my spirit to submit to Yours alone

Verse 2

I want to give you all, that you’ve given me And hold nothing back

And love you Lord, my God, with all my heart See if there’s any false way in me Lord

Purify my heart So I can see and hear you clearly Lord

Hallowed be Your name, O holy King Praise be your name, O Holy King

Your Kingdom come, Your will be done Your will be done, Omniscient God

OFFERTORY

Discipleship: Travelling Light (Mark 6:8-11 & Luke 12:16-21)

"The early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way - the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money." - Tim Keller

"If a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life." - Billy Graham

COMMUNION (BREAD)

Man of Sorrows

Matt Crocker & Brooke Ligertwood

Verse 1 Man of sorrows, Lamb of God by His own betrayed

The sin of men and wrath of God has been on Jesus laid

Verse 2 Silent as He stood accused beaten, mocked, and scorned

Bowing to the Father's will He took a crown of thorns

Chorus And oh that rugged cross, my salvation Where Your love poured out over me Now my soul cries out "Hallelujah!"

Praise and honour unto Thee

Verse 3 Sent of heaven, God’s own Son to purchase and redeem And reconcile the very ones who nailed Him to that tree

{Chorus}

Bridge x2

Now my debt is paid it is paid in full By the precious blood that my Jesus spilled

Now the curse of sin has no hold on me Whom the Son sets free oh is free indeed

{Chorus}

Verse 4

See the stone is rolled away behold the empty tomb Hallelujah God be praised He’s risen from the grave

{Chorus}
