Not just on Sunday morning, but throughout the day, throughout the week, 3:33 every day. 24/7. Rejoice in the Lord always. And again, I say, rejoice. We're going to sing a couple of songs that exalt Jesus. I don't know how often you think about Jesus and what he has done for you and who he is. God has given him a name which is above 3:50 all other names. Think about the names that cause you to be impressed. Names of famous people here on this earth and what they've done. And it says the father has given Jesus a name which is above all other names. That at the name 4:04 of Jesus every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that he is Lord. This is the name that he has given. He is exalted. Think about the sacrifice that he made for you. How he was willing to suffer even separation from his 4:21 father. The worst thing that any person would ever have to go through so that he could win you. Once I was stranging [Music] [Music] 4:45 Savior to save a poor lost soul. I sing of it. Oh, what a Savior. Oh, what a Savior. Hallelu. His heart was broken 5:02 on Calvary. His hands were nailed scar. His side was wave [Music] blood for even me. He left the father 5:21 with all his visits with calmness sweet and came down from heaven and gave his life blood to make the vless sinner 5:41 clean. Oh what a savior. Oh hallelujah. His heart was broken on Calvary. 5:55 His hands were nail scar. His sight was he gave his life blood for even me. And if I'm crossing chilly waters, 6:13 his hand will lead me. I'll join the chorus in that bright city and sing up there forever. 6:30 Sing from your heart. Oh, what a savior. Oh hallelu. His heart was broken on Calvary. His hands were nail star. His side was d. 6:49 He gave his life blood for even me. Oh what a savior. Oh hallelu. His heart was broken on Calvary. 7:08 His hands were nailed scar. His side was driven. He gave his life blood for even me. He gave his life blood 7:24 for even me. Lest I forget. [Music] Lest I forget thy [Music] 7:42 lest I forget thy love for me. Lead me to calary. Sing that chorus one more time. Lest I forget. Last I forget. Lest I forget thygony. 8:08 Lest I forget thy love for me. Lead me to calary. [Music] 8:26 Jesus my savior, thy greatness I see.

Here be the cross long and weary the road. Run in thy pathway and heavy thy load. Stricken, afflicted, 11:27 forsaken and sworn. Walk contradicted thy crown was of gold. Oh son of man, blessed thou art. 11:44 Yet he the cross with it anguish thy heart suffering alone. V thy tears find me the glory for unending 12:03 years. All else is done when compared unto you. Really believe that honor and greatness mean nothing to me. 12:20 Humiliation but later a crown. Lord I will follow my life. I lay down. Oh son of man, 12:37 blessed thou art yet the cross with it anguish thy heart. Suffering alone [Music] thy tears. 12:54 Find me thy glory for unending [Music] year. We sang about Jesus and it's our desire to exalt him. Let's spend a few minutes in prayer and personal consecration. Use your own words. Dear brother, dear 13:13 sister, dear child. He has done so much. He's given it all to you. Lift up your heart. Lift up your voice to him in praise in thanksgiving and honor him by the lips, the sacrifice of the lips. If you if you're going through a a difficult time, if you're 13:28 going through a time of perplexing and pain and suffering in some way, this is the time to put your faith in God, this is the time to prove that you're willing to praise him and honor him, no matter what it feels like, no matter what it 13:40 looks like. This is true sacrifice, that which costs us something. Lift up your heart to him. Heavenly Father, we thank you for this day. Thank you for your presence here, Lord, that makes all well. It is well with our souls. No 13:52 matter what it looks like, those sorrows around me and the the billows around us, Lord, and the waves crashing over us. We know it is well because you are God. You are on the throne. You are our father. Your love for us has not changed at all. 14:07 Even though you knew even while we were yet sinners, you gave yourself for us, Lord Jesus. How much more now that we are your children. We are in your house. We're sitting at your table. And your purposes for us are all are all for our 14:18 good, for our welfare. Help us, Lord, to be a people of faith. I pray that RLCF will be characterized by this faith that's unshakable, Lord, that no matter what I'm going through, no matter how I feel today or any day in until you come, 14:32 I know I am yours. I'm part of your family. You're my father. I have an older brother, Jesus, who's on my side against the devil, who's compassionate and suffering with me and and has suffered with me when he was here on 14:45 this earth and is uh pies me and is able to sympathize with me in what I'm going through. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for that great high priest that you are. Forgive us, Lord, where we have doubted you and we have thought that somehow you are not 14:57 powerful enough to do that which you said you would to fulfill every promise. Lord, thank you that no matter what we're going through, you will carry us through. You will be on we will be on the other side of it, Lord. And your 15:07 purpose, the destination you've made for our lives to fully conform us into the image of Jesus is still true. It still stands, Lord. You've not changed from that purpose. And you're committed to taking us through whatever it takes, 15:19 Lord. And we commit ourselves Aresh. We give ourselves Aresh to you this morning that you can take us through whatever, Lord, if it will fulfill your purpose. Thank you, Lord, that we have that confidence before you to come boldly to 15:31 the throne of grace to ask you for help. Thank you, Lord. You're here to help. You're a very present help in time of trouble. A very present help in time of trouble. So here you are, Lord, right here in our present circumstance, able 15:44 to meet our needs. The eternal God is our refuge. And underneath are the everlasting arms. Lord, we put our trust in you. We put our trust in your word. No matter what the devil might tell us, no matter what our own feelings and our 15:55 own thoughts and our own anxiety and fear and doubt might tell us, we refuse to pay attention to any of those. We put our trust in your word alone because your word will stand after all of this has passed away. Thank you, Lord. We we 16:09 can trust you. Lord, I pray for any who are in need, especially those who are in a spiritual need. Lord, who are battling against sin and perhaps the devil has a foothold or they're not able to overcome and they're struggling, they're 16:19 discouraged. Lord, I thank you that in you there is no condemnation because we are in you. There's no discouragement, no condemnation. Lord, thank you for that. So I pray that you will speak hope and you'll strengthen the knees that are 16:31 weak and the the the hands that are hanging feeble. Lord, I pray that your Holy Spirit will come with comfort, strengthening power, Lord, to lift us up, to lift up our heads, to lift up our eyes to see you and see your glorious 16:44 purpose for us. Help us, Lord, not to look not so that we don't look back with regret when we stand with you in eternity and think of how you were always and see how you were always going to fulfill your purpose. You were going 16:57 to take us through that. We didn't ever have to doubt you. We never have to doubt you. You've never failed us yet. You never will. Thank you. You have never failed anybody that has put their trust fully in you. May we be such a 17:08 people so that when you come this week and watch us and watch our lives, you will see faith, a spirit of faith rising up. Thank you, Lord, that we can sing in our faith. So bless, strengthen those that need that help, Lord. Bind the work 17:20 of Satan in any life and loose the captives, Lord, that need to be loosed. Set the prisoners free. Lord, we thank you that you've come to set us free from all sin. You said that when you set us free, we are completely free. It's not a 17:32 half freedom. It's not a partway freedom, but a complete freedom. Lord, we want that. And there are so many areas that we are many of us are still bound by. Lord, I pray that we will be set free from that. Bad moods, bad 17:43 habits, uh a complaining spirit, grumbling, Lord, a lack of thankfulness, jealousy, envy, whatever it might be, discouragement. Thank you that there's no room for any of that in the heart of a Christian because of who you are, not 17:56 because of anything in us, Lord. We are feeble and weak. We are nothing without you. But you are the vine. You are the vine. You are the source of all strength. We're simply the branches. We're dead the moment we're disconnected 18:07 from you. But we are full of life if we abide in you. Let us bear fruit this week. Lord, make it so. Thank you. It shall be so. We commit our earthly needs also. Thank you that you've placed us here on this earth with earthly needs 18:18 and earthly responsibilities. And you having given us that task, you will provide all that we need. You are our God. You, our God, are able to supply all our needs according to the rich Jesus Christ. So Lord, we trust you for 18:32 all our needs. We pray for those that need healing. Those whose bodies are in pain, Lord, I pray you'll touch them even right now. Lay your hands at this very moment. To everyone listening to this prayer that's in need, Lord, 18:42 physically, lay your hands on them and heal them according to your will. Touch them Lord and let your healing power flow through it through their bodies as it did for any who came to you who when you were here on this earth. You are the 18:53 same powerful God, miracle working God and we trust you for that and for our earthly needs. Lord, thank you for the jobs you've provided us, the responsibilities we have. Lord, irrespective of how we feel about it, we know that it's from you, Lord. You've 19:06 given it to us. So, we work hard, we work diligently so that we don't have to borrow or be or be in debt to anybody financially so that we can provide for our families. Thank you that you've given us the means to do so. And even as 19:18 our children go to school and and and uh grow up, Lord, and learn things that they need to learn so that they can also be self-sufficient, Lord, depending on you. I pray you'll give them grace. Give them strength to learn the things that 19:30 you want them to learn. Protect them. Protect our children especially, Lord, from the wicked generation we live in now, Lord. That's going to get worse as you get closer, as the time of your return comes nearer. Thank you, Lord, 19:42 that you will preserve them, Lord. Give them a keep preserve them in a spirit of fire and a zeal that that for your kingdom and for your house and for your name, Lord, that they'll be bold witnesses. They won't be partakers in 19:53 the wicked things here on this earth, but lovers of you, not lovers of the world, those who know your word and who are strong and have overcome the evil one. Do this for our young people, we pray. We thank you. You have a purpose 20:04 for their lives. The power of the Holy Spirit, the gift of the Holy Spirit is for them as well. We thank you, Lord. And help us as adults. Help us as parents to be a godly example to them that that what they see in us. Lord, 20:14 even when we fail that we apologize, but what they see in us that we have determined to live for your kingdom and your kingdom alone, not for the things of this earth. Help us, Lord. Change us deep within that all of us, beginning 20:26 with us fathers and us mothers as well. And all of us adults, Lord, whether we have children or not, that we have an example to the young people and the children here in this church, unite our hearts in love, Lord, in true love. We 20:37 don't want a a club-like earthly attachment to each other that falls away over time. We want a knitting of the Holy Spirit in our hearts that only you can do, Lord. So do that, we pray. Thank you, Lord. You will do that. It's your 20:49 church. It's your body, Lord. And you as the head care about the unity in the body. You will fulfill it. Thank you. Be exalted in the rest of this time. Thank you that we can trust you. Help us to remain in humility, Lord, that we can 21:00 receive grace in every situation.
