Series: Lasting Things: A Series in Hebrews
Receiving the Kingdom
April 25, 2021 | Mike Stancak
Passage: Hebrews
As a Christian receives the kingdom, he also receives its king. The life that follows is a process in which the Christian asks, over and over, "How might Christ rule over this? And this? And this?" Here at the end of Hebrews, the author takes up the role of a teacher demonstrating a few lines of handwriting so we can take the pen and complete the page for ourselves. He goes, taking one area of life after another, and shows us, "This is how Christ rules here. Now go and let him rule elsewhere."

Psalm 24
CONFESSION OF FAITH (The Philippians Hymn)
Leader: All praise to Christ the King
Congregation :
who, though he was in the form of God,
did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself,
taking the form of a servant,
being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form,
he humbled himself
by becoming obedient to the point of death,
even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him
and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
so that at the name of Jesus
every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth
and under the earth,
and every tongue confess
that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
Your Name Is Matchless
by Sovereign Grace Music
Verse 1
We were sinners we were orphans
we were looking for a home
We were lost and we were broken wandering alone
Looking down at our condition
you sent Your Son to change our fate
Though we were hopelessly imprisoned
He came to take our place
Chorus 1
Glory to the name of Jesus
Glory to the only name that saves
Ransomed the captives Your name is matchless
Verse 2
What a mystery to fathom
that we're Your children set apart
For we were enemies not pilgrims prodigals at heart
But Your Spirit now has caused us
to no longer doubt Your love
Abba Father You have bought us
adopted through Your Son
Chorus 2
Glory to the name of Jesus
Glory to the only name that saves
Ransomed the captives Your name is matchless
Glory to the name that freed us
Glory to the love that made a way
Beauty for ashes Your name is matchless
Bridge
Glory to Your name,
Glory to Your name,
Glory to Your name
Verse 3
Ponder all we have been given
heirs to God through Jesus' name
A sting-less death has been made certain
And glory now awaits Your glory now awaits

Broken for all my sin
Your body crucified
To make me whole again

Poured out in sacrifice
To trade this sinner's end
For Your new covenant

With fear and trembling

If ever I deny Your grace
Remind me of the price You paid

Oh to think where I would be
If not for You if not for You

As far as heights reach from the depths
As far as east is from the west
So far Your grace has carried me
Until I see You face to face
Until at last I've won my race

Hallelujah I'll live in remembrance

Yet Not I But Through Christ In Me
By CityAlight
Verse 1
What gift of grace is Jesus my redeemer
There is no more for heaven now to give
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
For my life is wholly bound to his
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Verse 2
The night is dark but I am not forsaken
For by my side, the Saviour He will stay
I labour on in weakness and rejoicing
For in my need, His power is displayed
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
Through the deepest valley He will lead
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Verse 3
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
The future sure, the price it has been paid
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
And He was raised to overthrow the grave
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated
Jesus now and ever is my plea
Oh the chains are released, I can sing: I am free!
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
Verse 4
With every breath I long to follow Jesus
For He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me
Until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
