Would That All Were As I Am

Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:7-9
Where do unmarried people fit in the vision of the Christian home and family life? We have heard how marriage and family gloriously fulfill the design of our bodies and reflect the mystery of Christ and the Church and portray the splendor of the gospel and the eternal fatherhood of God. Are the unmarried excluded from this vision or do they have another role reflecting and magnifying different facets of divine splendor? Come and see.

How Marvelous
Traditional Hymn with Bridge by Shane & Shane
I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And wonder how He could love me A sinner condemned unclean
How marvelous how wonderful
And my song shall ever be
How marvelous how wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me
He took my sins and my sorrows
He made them His very own
He bore the burden to Calvary
And suffered and died alone
Forever i will sing your praise Jesus, risen King
Oh my God, I stand amazed That You love me
And, When with the ransomed in glory
His face I last shall see
'Twill be my joy through the ages
To sing of His love for me
King Of Love
I Am They
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
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
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
Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
Oh Hallelujah Hallelujah
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

Be Still My Soul
Traditional Hymn
Be still my soul, the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to your God to order and provide
In every change he faithful will remain
Be still my soul, your best, your heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end
Be still my soul, your God will undertake
To guide the future as he has the past
Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake
All now mysterious shall be bright at last
Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while he dwelt below
In You I rest, in You I found my hope
In You I trust, You never let me go
I place my life within Your hands alone
Be still, my soul
Be still my soul, when dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears
Then shall you better know his love, his heart
Who comes to soothe your sorrow and your fears
Be still my soul, your Jesus can repay
From his own fullness all he takes away
Be still my soul, the hour is hast'ning on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul, when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last
His Mercy Is More
Matt Papa
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
Praise the Lord His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness new every morn
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
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
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 af - ford
Our sins they are many His mercy is more
COMMUNION
In Christ Alone
Keith & Kristyn Getty
In Christ alone my hope is found,
He is my light, my strength, my song;
This Cornerstone, this solid Ground,
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My Comforter, my All in All,
Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone! Who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones he came to save:
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid;
Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain:
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave he rose again!
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me,
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death,
This is the power of Christ in me;
From life's first cry to final breath.
Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man,
Can ever pluck me from His hand;
Till He returns or calls me home,
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Revelation Song
Covered by Kari Jobe
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain
Holy holy is He
Sing a new song to Him Who sits on
Heaven's mercy seat
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
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
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 host
Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost
Amen
