For His Sheep

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

WELCOME

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

The Atonement is incomprehensible if Christ is not our substitute. All...
