New Hymn , “O Church Arise” (Getty)
Great Hymn about Service in the Kingdom of God
Here is Grace’s Recording for Sunday (coming soon)
Listen to the Original
On Octorber 6th 2024 we are singing
“O Church Arise”
© 2016 Getty Music Publishing; Worship Together Music CCLI 4611992,
1. O Church arise and put your armor on
Hear the call of Christ our Captain
For now the weak can say that they are strong
In the strength that God has given
With shield of faith and belt of Truth
We’ll stand against the devil’s lies
An army bold whose battle cry is love
Reaching out to those in darkness
2. Our call to war to love the captive soul
But to rage against the captor
And with the sword that makes the wounded whole
We will fight with faith and valor
When faced with trials on ev'ry side
We know the outcome is secure
And Christ will have the prize for which He died
An inheritance of nations
3. Come see the cross where love and mercy meet
As the Son of God is stricken
Then see His foes lie crushed beneath His feet
For the Conqueror has risen
And as the stone is rolled away
And Christ emerges from his grave
This victory march continues 'til the day
Every eye and heart shall see Him
4. So Spirit come put strength in every stride
Give grace for every hurdle
That we may run with faith to win the prize
Of a servant good and faithful
As saints of old still line the way
Retelling triumphs of His grace
We hear their calls and hunger for the day
When with Christ we stand in Glory

New Song for the New Series (Serving Challenge)
Here is Grace’s Recording for Sunday
Listen to the Original (We Changed The Lyrics)
On September 15th 2024 we are singing
The Jesus Way(CCLI 7217888)
© 2023 Be Essential Songs; Cashagamble Jet Music; Phil Wickham Music; Simply Global Songs
1. If you curse us, then we will bless you
If you hurt us, we will forgive
If you hate us, then we will love you
There’s love in the Jesus way
2. If you’re helpless, we will defend you
if you’re burdened, we’ll share the weight
if you’re hopeless, then let us sh’ow you
There’s hope in the Jesus way
(REFRAIN)
We follow Jesus; we follow Jesus
He wore our sin we, gladly wear His name
He is the treasure; He is the answer
There’s love in the Jesus way
3. If you strike us, we will embrace you
if you chain us, we’ll sing His praise
if you kill us, our home is heaven
There’s hope in the Jesus way (REFRAIN)x2

[Sunday] Under Pressure - Hold Fast: 2nd Timothy
When under pressure, there is hope and resilience in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ which causes us to look at the world differently.

[Sunday] Let My People Go - Hold Fast: 2nd Timothy
All of Scripture is God-breathed; in its inspired voice, we hear the good news, useful teaching, correction, instruction, and training for a life well lived in freedom.

Questions for the Week: Hold Fast: Paul's 2nd Letter of Timothy - Let My People Go
How does the idea that the Scriptures are "breathed out by God" impact your understanding of their authority and relevance in your life?
Read 2 Timothy Ch 3. What scary things does Paul highlight? Where does he point to find hope?
How can we discern between true and false teachers, and what steps can we take to protect ourselves and others from their influence?
In what ways have you experienced God's freedom in your own life? Share specific examples and how these experiences have shaped your faith.

[Sunday] Lightning Rod - Hold Fast: 2nd Timothy
Amidst so much irreverent babble and ignorant controversies, it's easy to become entrenched in our "lightning rod" beliefs. What if, instead, we stood in the good news of Jesus?

Questions for the Week: Hold Fast: Paul's 2nd Letter of Timothy - Lightning Rod
What do you think a "lightning rod" issue is in your family or community? How does it create division? Can you think of an example?
Read 2 Timothy 2:14-26. How can we better focus on Jesus and His love for us, rather than getting caught up in disagreements? What practical steps can we take to do this?
The sermon emphasized that God's foundation is firm. How does the knowledge of “being His” bring you comfort and peace?

[Sunday] The Athlete - Hold Fast: 2nd Timothy
Paul, with a whiff of sarcasm, pronounces we all know an athlete never cheats in their game, which makes us ask ourselves, “Have we tried to shortcut the faith?

Questions for the Week: Hold Fast: Paul's 2nd Letter of Timothy - The Athlete
Think of a time someone cheated at a sport or game. What effect did that have on the final results?
Read 2 Timothy 2:1-13. What do you find most challenging about Paul’s message to endure suffering and hold fast to the Gospel of Jesus?
Can you share a time when you felt like you were taking a "shortcut" in your faith or in life? What did you learn from that experience?
With the hope of the resurrection, how can we support one another when we are facing difficulties and challenges?
