Today’s Sermon:
Luke 12:13–21
Being Rich toward God
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here!
I Stand Amazed
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
How marvelous how wonderful�And my song shall ever be�How marvelous how wonderful�Is my Savior's love for me
And with the ransomed in glory�His face I at last shall see�’Twill will be my joy
through the ages�To sing of His love for me
How marvelous how wonderful�And my song shall ever be�How marvelous how wonderful�Is my Savior's love for me
Here I Am To Worship
Light of the world�You stepped down into
darkness�Opened my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made�This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
So here I am to worship�Here I am to bow down�Here I am to say that
You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely�Altogether worthy�Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days�O so highly exalted�Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created�All for love’s sake became
poor
So here I am to worship�Here I am to bow down�Here I am to say that
You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely�Altogether worthy�Altogether wonderful to me
And I’ll never know
How much it cost�To see my sin
Upon that cross
(2x)
So here I am to worship�Here I am to bow down�Here I am to say that
You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely�Altogether worthy�Altogether wonderful to me
So here I am to worship�Here I am to bow down�Here I am to say that
You’re my God
You’re altogether lovely�Altogether worthy�Altogether wonderful to me
Scripture Reading
Luke 12:13–15
Luke 12:13–15
13 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.”

I Want To Know You
I’ve tried in vain a thousand
ways
My fears to quell my hopes
to raise
But what I need your word
has said
Is ever, only, Jesus
You died, You live
You reign, You plead
There’s love in all your words
and deeds
This weary heart finds all it
needs
Is ever, only, Jesus
I want to know You
Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens
King of my soul
I trade my treasures
And all my rewards
Jesus to know You
Then know You more
Though some should curse
Me for Your name
I have no fear
I have no shame
You stand with me
For all my days
My ever, only, Jesus
I want to know You
Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens
King of my soul
I trade my treasures
And all my rewards
Jesus to know You
Then know You more
Like wave after wave
On the ocean
Like all of the sand
On the shore
Your beauty and glory
Are endless
O Jesus I must know
You more
Like wave after wave
On the ocean
Like all of the sand
On the shore
Your beauty and glory
Are endless
O Jesus I must know
You more
I want to know You
Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens
King of my soul
I trade my treasures
And all my rewards
Jesus to know You
Then know You more
I want to know You
Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens
King of my soul
I trade my treasures
And all my rewards
Jesus to know You
Then know You more

Because He
Lives
God sent His Son
They called Him Jesus
He came to love
Heal and forgive
He bled and died
To buy my pardon
An empty grave is there
To prove My Savior lives
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
How sweet to hold
A newborn baby
And feel the pride
And joy he gives
But greater still
The calm assurance
This child can face
uncertain days
Because Christ lives
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
And then one day
I’ll cross that river
I’ll fight life’s final
War with pain
And then as death
Gives way to vict’ry
I’ll see the lights of glory
And I’ll know He reigns
Because He lives
I can face tomorrow
Because He lives
All fear is gone
Because I know
He holds the future
And life is worth the living
Just because He lives
Knowledge is like paint . . .
It does no good until it is APPLIED.
