.’Today’s song focus will be
Christ is Enough!
Colossians 2:9-10 (NASB95)
“For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority.”
Written in 2003 by Hillsong Worship, this song is a wonderful reminder that Jesus is our reward, our devotion, our joy, our salvation and our hope. He is all we need. By making the decision to follow Him, we choose to turn away from the things of this world and follow after Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. He is more than enough for us! Verse two states:
Christ my all in all, my joy and my salvation
And His hope will never fail, Heaven is our home
We need to wake up and realize the sufficiency of our Lord and Savior! He is our all in all, and is everything we will ever need.

Today’s hymn focus will be
Jesus Saves!
John 14:6 (NASB95)
“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.”
Priscilla J Owens was a school teacher in Baltimore, MD who loved to write songs for children’s services at Union Square Methodist Church. When asked to write a song for an upcoming missionary service, the words of 1 Timothy 1:15 inspired her. It states:
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
It originally sung to the chorus from an opera, but William J Kirkpatrick composed a vibrant melody for the words of her poem to become the song that we sing today.
We have heard the joyful sound – Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves!
Spread the tidings all around – Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves!
We need to wake up and proclaim the message of this song each and every day of our lives, until He calls us home. Don’t keep it a secret, but let it be known that Jesus Saves!

Proclamation, Preparation & Positioning

Proclamation, Preparation & Positioning
Deuteronomy 32:2-4; Ephesians 5:15-19; Philippians 4:5-9
Today is going to be a different type of Sunday. We are starting the service with each point of the message being reinforced with our worship in song. For those taking notes, the three key points are 1) Proclamation; 2) Preparation; and 3) Positioning. These three “P’s” will help us in both our prayers and our praise.
I. PROCLAMATION: Moses told the people of Israel
Deuteronomy 32:2-4:
“Let my teaching fall on you like rain; let my speech settle like dew. Let my words fall like rain on tender grass, like gentle showers on young plants. I will proclaim the name of the Lord; how glorious is our God! He is the Rock; his deeds are perfect. Everything he does is just and fair. He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright he is!”
When we proclaim something, we are making it known to those around us. When we pray, we are to proclaim who God is to us. When we sing our praises, we are to lift our voices and proclaim the goodness and the greatness of our God. In Psalm 71:19-19, the psalmist David writes:
O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood, and I constantly tell others about the wonderful things you do. Now that I am old and gray, do not abandon me, O God. Let me proclaim your power to this new generation, your mighty miracles to all who come after me. Your righteousness, O God, reaches to the highest heavens. You have done such wonderful things. Who can compare with you, O God?
He also writes in Psalm 105:1-2:
“Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. Sing to him; yes, sing his praises. Tell everyone about his wonderful deeds.”
And then in Psalm 145:4-7, we are told to:
“Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy about your righteousness.”
Finally, we are encouraged by John, the beloved disciple in 1 John 1:1-2:
“We proclaim to you the one who existed from the beginning, whom we have heard and seen. We saw him with our own eyes and touched him with our own hands. He is the Word of life. This one who is life itself was revealed to us, and we have seen him. And now we testify and proclaim to you that he is the one who is eternal life. He was with the Father, and then he was revealed to us.”
So, as we prepare to lift our voices in worship, remember we are all to proclaim praise to the One Who was, Who is, and Who always will be.
Worship in Song 1: Living Hope, Goodness of God, Trust in God
II. Preparation: Preparation is important for both heart and mind.
QUOTE: “Proper preparation prevents poor performance.”
A. Preparing the heart.
1. Confession is where it starts.
1 John 1:9:
“But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.”
2. We have to clean house of the things that affect our heart.
Ephesians 5:15-19: “So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise. Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days. Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what the Lord wants you to do. Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.”
*Previous verses warned us not to live like we used to, because we are to live our lives to please God.
B. Preparing the mind: A Call for holy living: 1 Peter 1:13
“So prepare your minds for action and exercise self-control. Put all your hope in the gracious salvation that will come to you when Jesus Christ is revealed to the world.”
Currently, mental health has become a hot topic. We need to realize that the battle of the mind is something that has been a part of human struggle for a long time, especially when it comes to spiritual matters. Moses, King David, the prophet Elijah and Ruth’s mother-in-law, Naomi are just a few examples of those who battled some form of mental illness and the Bible records their struggles. As we face issues like work-related stress, seasonal depression or even chemical imbalance, there may be some that requires that require medical assistance. This is not a bad thing! That is why we have the medical professionals to help in these times.
However, we are also told in scriptures to bring everything to Jesus. 1 Peter 5:7 states:
“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
AND…we are to care for one another. Paul wrote to the Corinthians in 2 Corinthians 12:25:
“This makes for harmony among the members, so that all the members care for each other.”
This is not an either/or thing, but rather a both/and. We as the church are to be here to help one another as we see Christ transforming people’s lives and their stories. BUT, it is also important that each person take responsibility to turn EVERYTHING over to God by preparing our hearts and our minds.
Worship in Song 2: Lavish, Who You Say I Am
III. Positioning: Surrendering our wants and desires
A. What Christ did for you and me: Philippians 2:6-8:
“Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.”
B.What we are to do for Him: 1 Peter 5:6-10
“ So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor. Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you. Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your family of believers all over the world is going through the same kind of suffering you are. In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation.”
“Christ demands first place. There’s no room on the throne of your heart for two gods.”
– Billy Graham
This is something that you must do for yourself, because I cannot. HOWEVER, I can hold you accountable, which is what I am doing today!
Philippians 4:5-7:
“Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon. Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.”
I want to close out the service with a response time. Coming to the altar is not a sign that you have done something, but rather you making a public demonstration of presenting yourself as a living sacrifice, making sure that your sacrifice is still on the altar! Position yourself with a fresh surrender.
Worship Set 3: Hold On to Me, It is Well with My Soul

Trust in God
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NASB95)
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart
And do not lean on your own understanding.
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He will make your paths straight.”
Inspired by famous hymns written by Fanny Crosby and Phoebe Knapp, Chris Brown, Steven Furtick, Brandon Lake & Mitch Long wanted to create a new worship song that was both a declaration and a proclamation of God’s faithfulness to His children. In a time where trusting God is becoming more rare and more challenging, this song helps us all declare with one voice that even though we may be shaken, we will still trust in God.
I trust in God, my Savior,
The One who will never fail
He will never fail
We need to wake up with the words of this song in our hearts and on our lips. He is always there when we need Him. When we seek Him, we will always find Him ready to help us. So let’s declare our trust in God!

O Praise the Name
Psalm 9:1-2 (NASB95)
“I will give thanks to the Lord with all my heart;
I will tell of all Your wonders
I will be glad and exult in You;
I will sing praise to Your name, O Most High.”
Recorded during a night of worship at Valley Baptist in August of 2015, Marty Sampson, Dean Ussher and Ben Hastings originally created this song for a friend’s Easter worship service. While verbally painting a picture of the cross, Jesus’ death and resurrection, each verse challenges the singer to stop and think about what they are singing. When we truly think about what Jesus did for us, one cannot help but to sing with endless praise.
O praise the Name of the Lord our God
O praise His Name forevermore
For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord oh Lord our God
We need to wake up to the fact that Paul writes about in Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” We need to express our praise to God for this amazing gift and be ready to share this fact with those in need of a Savior!

O Praise the Name
I cast my mind to CalvaryWhere Jesus bled and died for meI see His wounds, His hands, His feetMy Saviour on that cursed tree
His body bound and drenched in tearsThey laid Him down in Joseph’s tombThe entrance sealed by heavy stoneMessiah still and all alone
O praise the Name of the Lord our GodO praise His Name forevermoreFor endless days we will sing Your praiseOh Lord, oh Lord our God
Then on the third at break of dawnThe Son of heaven rose againO trampled death where is your sting?The angels roar for Christ the King
O praise the Name of the Lord our GodO praise His Name forevermoreFor endless days we will sing Your praiseOh Lord, oh Lord our God
He shall return in robes of whiteThe blazing sun shall pierce the nightAnd I will rise among the saintsMy gaze transfixed on Jesus’ face
O praise the Name of the Lord our GodO praise His Name forevermoreFor endless days we will sing Your praiseOh Lord, oh Lord our God
O praise the Name of the Lord our GodO praise His Name forevermoreFor endless days we will sing Your praiseOh Lord, oh Lord our God

King of Kings
Psalm 13:6 (NLT)
“I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.
Written in the summer of 2019 by Hillsong Worship artists Jason Ingram and Brooke and Scott Ligertwood, this praise anthem was created to help worshipers lean into the truths of the words and be stirred to worship. With the song firmly rooted in scripture and packed full of theology, their hopes were that this song would articulate the heart of the Gospel and the message of the church. Christ is the rescuer of sinners and gives us hope of new life in Him.
Praise the Father, Praise the Son, Praise the Spirit, three in One
God of Glory, Majesty, Praise forever to the King of Kings.
We need to wake up and realize that there is nothing that we can do to earn salvation. It is only through Christ’s rescue and redemption through his glorious resurrection that we can be saved. That is what gives us hope and is the message that we need to share with others today.

In the darkness we were waitingWithout hope, without light‘Til from Heaven You came runningThere was mercy in Your eyesTo fulfill the law and prophetsTo a virgin came the wordFrom a throne of endless gloryTo a cradle in the dirt

To reveal the kingdom comingAnd to reconcile the lostTo redeem the whole creationYou did not despise the crossFor even in your sufferingYou saw to the other sideKnowing this was our salvationJesus for our sake you died

And the morning that You roseAll of Heaven held its breath‘Til that stone was moved for goodFor the Lamb had conquered deathAnd the dead rose from their tombsAnd the angels stood in aweFor the souls of all who’d comeTo the Father are restored
And the church of Christ was bornThen the Spirit lit the flameNow this gospel truth of oldShall not kneel, shall not faintBy His blood and in His nameIn His freedom I am freeFor the love of Jesus ChristWho has resurrected me

Redeemed
1 Peter 1:18-19 (NASB95)
“For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your ancestors, but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.”
Fanny Crosby is well known for her hymn writing abilities, with over 9000 to her credit. This particular hymn was written in 1882 while attending a revival meeting led by her friend, Theodore Camp. She responded to the altar call, being prayed over by the elders. Previously, she had left the altar “without getting happy”, but this time was different. As the congregation sang the fifth verse from “Alas and Did My Savior Bleed”, she felt like her soul was flooded with heavenly light. She leaped to her feet, shouting “Hallelujah! Hallelujah!”, as she realized that she had finally surrendered everything to God.
Redeemed, Redeemed! Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb.
Redeemed, Redeemed! His child and forever I am.
We need to wake up and realize like Fanny Crosby, who had been a Christian for long time, that to find true happiness in our Christian lives, we have to totally let go of the things of this world, and hold on to the hands of the One who redeemed us…Christ Jesus, our Lord and Savior!

Redeemed—how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am. Redeemed, redeemed,
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am. Redeemed, redeemed,
Chorus:
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed, redeemed,
His child, and forever, I am.
2
Redeemed and so happy in Jesus,
No language my rapture can tell;
I know that the light of His presence
With me doth continually dwell.
3
I think of my blessed Redeemer,
I think of Him all the day long;
I sing, for I cannot be silent;
His love is the theme of my song.
4
I know I shall see in His beauty
The King in whose way I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.
The King in whose way I delight;
Who lovingly guardeth my footsteps,
And giveth me songs in the night.

Hear our Praises
“Sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth.
Sing to the Lord, praise his name;
proclaim his salvation day after day.”
Rueben Morgan wrote this song in 1999 and was featured on Hillsong’s album Shout to the Lord 2000 as a declaration song of worship. And while it is an inspirational song to proclaim God’s praises everywhere, it also serves as a prayer of the Great Commission. With our homes and communities filled with Christ’s love, and the areas of suffering and injustice bowing to Jesus, then the whole world will declare in unity the glory of God.
From the mountains to the valleys,
Hear our praises rise to you,
From the heavens to the nations,
Hear our singing fill the air.
We need to wake up to the fact that according to I Corinthians 1, we are all called to agree together, perfectly united in mind with the message of Christ and not to be divided. This can only be accomplished when we seek Him first in everything we say and do.

As The Deer
Psalm 42:1 (NASB95)
“As the deer pants for the water brooks,
So my soul pants for You, O God.
Written in 1981 while attending a summer session at Christ for the Nations
Institute in Dallas, TX, Marty Nystrom was on a quest to recover his joy. He had
been active in ministry while also teaching, but something was missing. His
roommate suggested that he go on a fast to help him recover his joy. So Marty
took the challenge and on the nineteenth day of his fast, he found himself sitting
at a piano, playing some chord progressions when he looked over and saw a
Bible on a music stand that was opened to Psalm 42. After reading through the
passage, he began to sing its message. The song was finished in a matter of
minutes:
As the deer panteth for the water, so my soul longeth after Thee
You alone are my hearts desire and I long to worship Thee.
We need to wake up and renew our hunger and thirst for more of God. It is not
something that anyone else can do for you. Just like you can lead a horse to water,
but you can’t make it drink, the same is true for us in our personal walk with Christ.

As The Deer
As the deer panteth for the waterSo my soul longeth after TheeYou alone are my heart’s desireAnd I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength, my shieldTo You alone may my spirit yieldYou alone are my heart’s desireAnd I long to worship Thee
As the deer panteth for the waterSo my soul longeth after TheeYou alone are my heart’s desireAnd I long to worship Thee
You alone are my strength, my shieldTo You alone may my spirit yieldYou alone are my heart’s desireAnd I long to worship Thee
You’re my friendAnd You are my brotherEven though You are a KingI love You more than any otherSo much more than anything
You alone are my strength, my shieldTo You alone may my spirit yieldYou alone are my heart’s desireAnd I long to worship Thee

Rock of Ages
Psalm 62:1-2 (NASB95)
“Truly my soul finds rest in God; my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation; he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”
In 1740, Augustus Toplady was the pastor in Somerset England, traveling along a road near Burrington Combe when an intense storm broke out. The rugged cliffs on one side and a deep gorge on the other, forced him to dash into a cave
for shelter. The words for the hymn began to form in his mind as he thought of the shelter being found in the rock of faith and it giving protection from the storms of life.
Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee
We need to wake up and acknowledge the words of this hymn! It is a solid testimony of the powerful sacrifice of Christ who is not only our Savior, but He is our source of protection and encouragement.
