Matthew 18:1-4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” 2 And calling

to him a child, he put him in the midst of them 3 and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like

children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. 4 Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in

the kingdom of heaven.

Scripture Readings ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

1 Peter 5:6-11 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt

you, 7 casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 8 Be sober-minded; be watchful.

Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. 9 Resist him, firm in your

faith, knowing that the same kinds of suffering are being experienced by your brotherhood throughout the

world. 10 And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in

Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you. 11 To him be the dominion forever and ever.

Amen.

Song Lyrics ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Verse 1:

Be still my soul the Lord is on thy side

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain

Leave to thy God to order and provide

In ev'ry change He faithful will remain

Be still my soul thy best thy heav'nly friend

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Verse 2:

Be still my soul thy God doth undertake

To guide the future as He has the past

Thy hope thy confidence let nothing shake

All now mysterious shall be bright at last

Be still my soul the waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below

Chorus:

In You I rest in You I find my hope

In You I trust

You never let me go

I place my life within Your hands alone

Be still my soul

Verse 3:

Be still my soul the hour is hastening on

When we shall be forever with the Lord

When disappointment grief and fear are gone

Sorrow forgot Love's purest joys restored

Be still my soul when change and tears are past

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last

.

Verse 1:

Come behold the wondrous mystery In the dawning of the King

He the theme of heaven's praises

Robed in frail humanity

In our longing in our darkness Now the light of life has come

Look to Christ who condescended

Took on flesh to ransom us

Verse 2:

Come behold the wondrous mystery

He the perfect Son of Man In His living in His suff'ring

Never trace nor stain of sin

See the true and better Adam

Come to save the hell-bound man Christ the great and sure fulfillment

Of the law in Him we stand

Verse 3: Come behold the wondrous mystery

Christ the Lord upon the tree

In the stead of ruined sinners

Hangs the Lamb in victory

See the price of our redemption

See the Father's plan unfold

Bringing many sons to glory Grace unmeasured love untold

Verse 4:

Come behold the wondrous mystery Slain by death the God of life

But no grave Could e'er restrain Him

Praise the Lord He is alive

What a foretaste of deliverance How unwavering our hope

Christ in power resurrected

As we will be when He comes

Verse 1:

Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee; let the water and the blood,

from thy wounded side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

save from wrath and make me pure.

Verse 2:

Not the labors of my hands

can fulfill thy law's demands; could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all could never sin atone; thou must save, and thou alone.

Verse 3:

Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to thy cross I cling;

naked, come to thee for dress;

helpless, look to thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.

Verse 4:

While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death,

when I soar to worlds unknown,

see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

let me hide myself in thee.

Verse 1:

Come ye sinners

Poor and needy

Weak and wounded Sick and sore

Jesus ready stands to save you

Full of pity, love and power

Chorus:

I will arise and go to Jesus

He will embrace me In His arms

In the arms of my dear Savior O, there are Ten thousand charms

Verse 2:

Come ye thirsty Come and welcome

God's free bounty glorify

True belief and true repentance Every grace that brings you nigh

Verse 3:

Come ye weary heavy laden Lost and ruined by the fall

If you tarry till you're better

You will never come at all

Verse 4: View him prostrate in the garden

On the ground your maker lies

On the bloody tree behold Him Sinner will this not suffice?

Verse 5:

Lo! The Incarnate God ascended Pleads the merit of His blood

Venture on Him

Venture wholly

Let no other trust intrude

Verse 6:

Let not conscience

Make you linger Nor of fitness fondly dream

All the fitness He requires

Is to feel your need of Him

Verse 1: When peace like a river attendeth my way

When sorrows like sea billows roll

Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well with my soul

Chorus:

It is well, With my soul

It is well, It is well with my soul

Verse 2:

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

Verse 3:

My sin, O the bliss of this glorious tho't

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!

Verse 4:

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

Come, Ye Sinners Joseph Hart

Praying with First Baptist Church A Prayer Guide for the week of July 5

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Prayer of the week:

Consider using the Apostle Paul’s prayer from the book of Colossians 1:9 as a springboard for your own prayer

time this week. If you’re praying through the church directory, this is a great prayer to use as you pray for your

church family this week.

“we have not ceased to pray for you,

asking that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
