Series: Exodus: The God Who Is
The God who Calls Us to Remember
September 13, 2020 | Mike Stancak
Passage: Exodus 12:21-28
We are nearing the moment in Exodus when God leads his people out from bondage, but before the climactic moment we are given a strange interruption: God gives his people a ritual. The Passover meal must be practiced for generations to come, and with every passing year this feast will rehearse God's great act of redemption. Before salvation can come about, the people must be prepared for how they will remember it. The same God who gave the Israelites Passover is the God who calls us to remember the way in which he brings salvation to the world.

My hope is held in Your hand
When castles crumble and breath is fleeting
Upon this rock I will stand
Upon this rock I will stand

But Jesus Lord of All
We raise the anthem, our loudest praises ring
We crown Him Lord of All

The curse of sin’s tyranny
My life is hidden ‘neath Heaven’s shadow
Your crimson flood covers me
Your crimson flood covers me

Remembrance
by Hillsong Worship
Verse 1
I take the bread of life
Broken for all my sin
Your body crucified
To make me whole again
I will recall the cup
Poured out in sacrifice
To trade this sinner's end
For Your new covenant
Chorus 1
Hallelujah
I'll live my life in remembrance
Hallelujah
Your promise I won't forget
Verse 3
I'll walk salvation's road
With fear and trembling
Your way borne as my own
As Christ is formed in me
Chorus 2
If ever I should lose my way
If ever I deny Your grace
Remind me of the price you paid
Hallelujah
I'll live in remembrance
Bridge
You've been so so good to me
You've been so so good to me
Oh to think where I would be
If not for You if not for You
Chorus 3
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
Remind me You're not finished yet
Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
I'll live in remembrance
Grace Alone by Dustin Kensrue
Verse 1
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song to Him Who sits on

Holy holy holy is the Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and is to come
With all creation I sing Praise to the King of kings
You are my everything And I will adore You
Verse 2
Clothed in rainbows of living color
Flashes of lightning rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor strength and glory and power be
To You the only wise King
Verse 3
Filled with wonder awestruck wonder
At the mention of Your name
Jesus Your name is power breath and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
DOXOLOGY
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Praise Him all creatures here below
Praise him above ye heavenly hosts
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
