Call to Worship

“Victory in Jesus”

I heard an old, old story,how a Savior came from glory,

How He gave His life on Calvary,to save a wretch like me;

I heard about His groaning,of His precious blood's atoning,

Then I repented of my sinsand won the victory.

“Victory in Jesus”

Oh victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!

He sought me and bo’t mewith His redeeming blood;

He loved me ere I knew Him,and all my love is due Him-He plunged me to victory

beneath the cleansing flood.

“Victory in Jesus”

I heard about His healing,of His cleansing pow'r revealing,

How He made the lameto walk again and caused the blind to

see;And then I cried, "Dear Jesus,

come and heal my broken spirit,"And somehow Jesus came

and bro’t to me the victory.

“Victory in Jesus”

Oh victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!

He sought me and bo’t mewith His redeeming blood;

He loved me ere I knew Him,and all my love is due Him-He plunged me to victory

beneath the cleansing flood.

“Victory in Jesus”

I heard about a mansionHe has built for me in glory,

And I heard about the streets of gold

beyond the crystal sea;About the angels singing 

and the old redemption story-And some sweet day

I'll sing up therethe song of victory.

“Victory in Jesus”

Oh victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!

He sought me and bo’t mewith His redeeming blood;

He loved me ere I knew Him,and all my love is due Him-He plunged me to victory

beneath the cleansing flood.

Children’s Message

Amazing grace how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like meI once was lost but now am found

Was blind but now I see

“Amazing Grace”

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relievedHow precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

“Amazing Grace”

The Lord has promised good to meHis Word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion beAs long as life endures

“Amazing Grace”

Through many dangers toils and snares

I have already come'Tis grace hath brought

me safe thus farAnd grace will lead me home

“Amazing Grace”

When we've been there ten thousand yearsBright shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we first begun

“Amazing Grace”

1 And you were dead in your trespasses and sins 2 in which you previously

walked according to this worldly age, according to the ruler of the

atmospheric domain, the spirit now working in the disobedient. 3 We too all

previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the

inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and by nature we were children under

wrath, as the others were also.

4 But God, who is abundant in mercy, because of His great love that He had

for us, 5 made us alive with the Messiah even though we were dead in trespasses. By grace you are saved! 6

He also raised us up with Him and seated us with Him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus, 7 so that in the coming

ages He might display the immeasurable riches of His grace in [His] kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift— 9 not from works, so that

no one can boast. 10 For we are His creation—created in Christ Jesus for

good works, which God prepared ahead of time so that we should walk in them.

Ephesians 2:1-10 (HCSB)

“SAVED AND SHAPED TO SERVE”

Pastor GrooverApril 6, 2008

5 So, what is Apollos? And what is Paul? They are servants through

whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given. 6 I

planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.

1 Corinthians 3:5-6 (HCSB)

I have glorified You on the earth by completing the work You gave Me to

do.

John 17:4 (HCSB)

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit

for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the

good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.

Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT)

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so

we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 (NLT)

After all, who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are only God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News.

Each of us did the work the Lord gave us.

1 Corinthians 3:5 (NLT)

I brought glory to you here on earth by completing the work you gave me to

do.

John 17:4 (NLT)

• God Saved You By Grace

• God Planned In Advance for us to do good things

for Him after He saved us

• Each of us are to do the work He gave us to do

• Like Jesus who completed the work the Father gave him to do we bring Glory

to the Father here on earth.

Take my life and let it be

Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;

Take my hands and let them move

At the impulse of Thy love,

At the impulse of Thy love.

“Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated ”

Take my feet and let them be

Swift and beautiful for Thee;

Take my voice and let me sing

Always, only, for my King,

Always, only, for my King.

“Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated ”

Take my silver and my gold,

Not a mite would I withhold;

Take my moments and my days,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise,

Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

“Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated ”

Take my will and make it Thine’

It shall be no longer mine;

Take my heart, it is Thine own,

It shall be Thy royal throne,

It shall be Thy royal throne.

“Take My Life, and Let It Be Consecrated ”

Benediction
