Series: Lasting Things: A Series in Hebrews
Nothing But the Blood
March 07, 2021 | Mike Stancak
Passage: Hebrews 9:1-22
One of the most alienating things about the Bible to modern readers is it’s fixation on blood. The Scriptures are a blood drenched library. It’s enough to make money right Christianity off as a primitive leftover of the ancient past. But in reality, all of this blood is the clue to humanity‘s real condition before God. If we aren’t used to it today, it may only be because we have come to take the finality of Christ’s sacrifice for granted. This week we explore how Jesus satisfies the deepest need of humanity and stands in our place by his blood.

Glorious Day
by Passion
Verse 1
I was buried beneath my shame
Who could carry that kind of weight
It was my tomb 'til I met You
I was breathing but not alive
All my failures I tried to hide
It was my tomb 'til I met You
Chorus
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
You called my name and I ran out of that grave
Out of the darkness into Your glorious day
Verse 3
Now Your mercy has saved my soul
Now Your freedom is all that I know
The old made new Jesus when I met You
Bridge
I needed rescue my sin was heavy
But chains break at the weight of Your glory
I needed shelter I was an orphan
Now You call me a citizen of Heaven
When I was broken You were my healing
Now Your love is the air that I'm breathing
King of Love
By I Am They
Verse 1
The King of Love my Shepherd is whose goodness faileth never
I nothing lack if I am His and He is mine forever, and He is mine forever
Where streams of living water flow my ransomed soul He leadeth
And where the verdant pastures grow with food celestial feedeth
Chorus
Never failing Ruler of my heart
Everlasting Lover of my soul
On the mountain high or in the valley low
The King of Love my Shepherd is
The King of Love my Shepherd is
Verse 2
Lost and foolish off I strayed but yet in love He sought me
And on His shoulder gently laid and home rejoicing brought me
In death's dark veil I fear no ill with Thee dear Lord beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still, Thy cross before to guide me
Bridge
Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
Verse 3
And so through all the length of days Thy goodness faileth never
Good Shepherd may I sing Your praise Within Your house forever
Within Your house forever

Great Is Our God
By Young Oceans
Verse 1
Come let us praise Him
Let us kneel at the throne of our God
Through His Son our salvation was bought
With mercy and grace.
Come let us bow down
In His hands are the depths of the earth
With one voice we proclaim His great worth
Lord our God
Chorus
And we will seek Him our Rock of Salvation
Morning by morning with Thanksgiving we come
And we will bow down with creation we cry out
In daylight and darkness we sing to the Lord
Great is our God
Great is our God
Great is our God.
Verse 2
Lord of all nations We will stand at the end of our days
In your courts and declare your great ways In Spirit and Truth
We long for your kingdom Bring your thunder and gather the earth
All who tremble will tell of Your worth Lord our God
LORD’S SUPPER
Center/His Mercy Is More/Holy
Charlie Hall, Matt Papa, Matt Boswell, Traditional Hymn
Intro
Oh Christ be the center of our lives
Be the place we fix our eyes
Be the center of our lives
Verse 1
What love could remember no wrongs we have done
Omniscient all knowing He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Chorus
Praise the Lord His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness new every morn
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Verse 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest the vilest the poor
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
Verse 3
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment His life was the cost
We stood 'neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many His mercy is more

I Will Follow
By Jon Guerra
Verse
When the sea is calm and all is right
When I feel Your favor flood my life
Even in the good, I'll follow You
Even in the good, I'll follow You
When the boat is tossed upon the waves
When I wonder if You'll keep me safe
Even in the storms, I'll follow You
Even in the storms, I'll follow You
Chorus
I believe everything that You say You are
I believe and I have seen Your unchanging heart
In the good things and in the hardest part
I believe and I will follow You
I believe and I will follow You
Verse 2
When I see the wicked prospering
When I feel I have no voice to sing
Even in the want, I'll follow You
Even in the want, I'll follow You
Verse 3
When I find myself so far from home
And You lead me somewhere that I don't wanna go
Even in my death, I'll follow You
Even in my death, I'll follow You
When I come to end this race I've run
And I receive the prize that Christ has won
I will be with You in Paradise
I will be with You in Paradise
