Series: Atonement
For His Sheep
April 03, 2022 | Everett Meadors
Jesus is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. He does not take up a generic thing called "Sin" but he takes the definite sins of definite people, my sloth this morning, your anger last night, her covetousness yesterday. His sacrifice is a sufficient and effective payment that establishes the salvation of a vast multitude drawn from the whole world. This can be a difficult and controversial but glorious doctrine. Come here the message of hope in the Good Shepherd's life and death for his sheep.

God Is For Us
by CityAlight
We won't fear the battle, we won't fear the night
We will walk the valley with You by our side
You will go before us, You will lead the way
We have found a refuge, only You can save
Sing with joy now: our God is for us
The Father's love is a strong and mighty fortress Raise your voice now, no love is greater
Who can stand against us if our God is for us
Even when I stumble, even when I fall
Even when I turn back, still Your love is sure
You will not abandon, You will not forsake
You will cheer me onward with never-ending grace
Neither height nor depth can separate us
Hell and death will not defeat us
He who gave His son to free us
Holds me in His love

Lamb of God
by Vertical Worship
You came from heaven's throne
Ac - quainted with our sorrow
To trade the debt we owe
Your suffering for our freedom
The Lamb of God in my place
Your blood poured out my sin erased
It was my death You died I am raised to life
Halle - lujah the Lamb of God
My name upon Your heart
My shame upon Your shoulders
The power of sin undone
The cross for my sal - vation
There is no great - er love
There is no great - er love
The Savior lift - ed up
There is no great - er love
Abide With Me
Traditional Hymn
Abide with me fast falls the ev - en - tide
The darkness deepens Lord with me ab - ide
When other help - ers fail and com - forts flee
Help of the helpless a - bide with me
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile
And though re - bellious and per - verse mean - while
Thou hast not left me though I oft left Thee
On to the close Lord a - bide with me
I need Thy presence every pass - ing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the temp - ter’s power
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through cloud and sunshine a - bide with me
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight tears lose their bi - tter - ness
Where is thy sting death
Where grave thy vi - cto - ry
I triumph still a - bide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my clo - sing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Thy morning breaks and earthly sha - dows flee
In life in death Lord a - bide with me
In life in death Lord a - bide with me
In life in death Lord a - bide with me

Crowns
Hillsong Worship
There is a hill I cher - ish
Where stood a precious tree
The emblem of salva - tion
The gift of Cal - vary
How is it I should pro - fit
While He is crucified
Yet as His life was ta - ken
So I was granted mine
My wealth is in the cross
There's nothing more I want
Than just to know His love
My heart is set on Christ and I will count all else as loss
The greatest of my crowns means nothing to me now
For I counted up the cost
And all my wealth is in the Cross
And all my wealth is in the cross
I will not boast in rich - es I have no pride in gold
But I will boast in Jesus
And in His Name alone
And when I stand in glo - ry
My crowns before the Lord Let this be my confess - ion
My wealth is in the cross
COMMUNION
What a Friend We Have In Jesus
Traditional Hymn
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Every - thing to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Every - thing to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptations
Is there trouble any - where
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Jesus Jesus How we trust You
How we’ve proved you o’er and o’er
Jesus Jesus precious Jesus
O for grace to trust You more
Are we weak and heavy laden
Cumbered with a load of care
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee
Take it to the Lord in prayer
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there
In His arms He'll take and shield thee
Thou wilt find a solace there
Is He Worthy?
Andrew Peterson
Do you feel the world is broken? (We do)
Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)
But do you know that all the dark
Won't stop the light from getting through? (We do)
Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)
Is all creation groaning? (It is)
Is a new creation coming? (It is)
Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)
Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave
He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
Is he wor - thy? Is he wor - thy?
Of all blessing and honor and glo - ry?
Is he wor - thy of this? (He is)
Does the Father truly love us? (He does)
Does the Spirit move among us? (He does)
And does Jesus our Messiah hold forever those he loves? (He does)
Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)
Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?
Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?
The Lion of Judah, who conquered the grave
He is David's Root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave
From every people and tribe, every nation and tongue
He has made us a kingdom and priests to God to reign with his Son
Is He wor - thy? Is He wor - thy?
Of all blessing and honor and glo - ry?
Is He wor - thy? Is He wor - thy?
Is He worthy of this?
He is! He is! He is! He is!
He is wor - thy, He is wor - thy
Of all blessing and honor and glo - ry
He is worthy of this He is
Jesus Paid It All
Traditional Hymn
I hear the Savior say, thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness, watch and pray, find in me thine all in all
Lord, now indeed I find thy power and thine a - lone
Can change the leper's spots and melt the heart of stone
Jesus paid it all All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain He washed it white as snow
And when before the throne I stand in him com - plete
Jesus died my soul to save my lips shall still re - peat
O praise the one who paid my debt
and raised this life up from the dead
O praise the one who paid my debt
and raised this life up from the dead
Doxology
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, Amen
