Song O For A Thousand Tongues with Peter Schrock O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim, to spread through all the earth abroad the honours of thy name. He breaks the power of cancelled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean; his blood availed for me. Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, your loosened tongues employ; ye blind, behold your saviour come, and leap, ye lame, for joy. Bible talk 1 My Jesus My Jesus is unique, majestic, tender, wise, strong, and lovely. That is my Jesus, whom I seek to serve and obey in every facet of life, every second of every day. I don't always achieve it, but I know that when I fail, I can ask for forgiveness and He will grant it from His wellspring of gracious mercy. Yet another WOW factor about Jesus Christ. It is this Jesus whom I depend upon and personally know to be totally reliable in every way. When people let me down, turn away from me, discourage me, think wrongly off me, incorrectly assume my motives. This Jesus always picks me up, never turns me away always encourages and embraces me. All through each day, I know that Jesus has been dependable, going ahead of me! Amazing! This Jesus who died on a Roman cross two thousand years ago was the same Jesus who was raised from the dead, without decay, into newness of life and ascended to the right hand of the Father. This Jesus is coming back to gather His followers, to Himself. Jesus is coming back, but not as a baby this time. There will be no kitchy-kitchy koo factor. No! Jesus is coming back with a big WOW Factor as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. What does Jesus look like now? He is described by one of his beloved followers, John in Revelation 1v13-16 Among the lampstands was someone like a son of man, dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance. That's the ascended Jesus Christ as portrayed by his friend John! Are you suffering today with some illness or you are in the middle of a period of grief? We all suffer in some way. I had a stroke back in 2003 and recovered. I still get aches and pains. But one day! One day you and I will have perfect bodies. WOW! And not only that, but this God suffered and died on a cross, so has sympathy for our own suffering while we are in this world! Jesus is coming back and will do the most extraordinary thing. We read about it in Revelation 21:4 ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Isn't that just the most amazing verse? Picture it! Jesus Christ taking your face in His scarred hands and He will wipe away your tears - tears of suffering and tears of joy. You will say to yourself, it was all worth it - the trials, temptations, sufferings and experiences I have had for the sake of Jesus Christ my Master. Song! Here Comes Jesus with Marjie Reece Just when you are thinking about giving up. You've tasted your last sip of life's bitter cup. You can't find a friend to understand or care. If you'll just look up, you'll find Jesus standing there. And here comes Jesus! Walking on the water. Here comes Jesus! He's calming the storm! Here comes Jesus! Making life peaceful. Here comes Jesus, bringing everything back to norm. Now, like a roaring lion, roaming to and fro, Satan is killing and stealing as he goes. Everything God gave us through Jesus, His Son. But, two-thousand years ago, the victory was won. And here comes Jesus! Walking on the water. Oh, here comes Jesus! Calming the storm! Here comes Jesus! Making life peaceful. Here comes Jesus, bringing everything back to norm. Bible Talk 2 Your Jesus Who is your Jesus? Are you struggling to make a major decision and don't know what to do. Seek the wisdom of Jesus in making that decision. He will help if you ask. It may well be that you are feeling desolate, abandoned and lonely. Or you are feeling tired, drained, burdened and in need of help. Allow Jesus to give you the strength to endure! Give the burden to Jesus and let Him take the weight for you. Let Jesus wrap you in a warm embrace, encompassing you with loving compassion. Silent Prayer We now have a time where you can offer your own praises and prayers. Lets pray and praise! Father God, in your mercy, hear these prayers of your children! For we ask them in the name of your son, Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen! Doxology sung by Jeff Wooldridge Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below; Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Benediction May the love of God the Father, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all, evermore.
