Blessed Assurance
Blessed assurance
Jesus is mine
O what a foretaste
Of glory divine
Heir of salvation
Purchase of God�Born of His Spirit
Washed in His blood
This is my story
This is my song�Praising my Savior
All the day long
(2x)
Perfect submission
Perfect delight�Visions of rapture
Now burst on my sight
Angels descending
Bring from above�Echoes of mercy
Whispers of love
This is my story
This is my song�Praising my Savior
All the day long
(2x)
Perfect submission
All is at rest�I in my Savior
Am happy and blest
Watching and waiting
Looking above�Filled with His goodness
Lost in His love
This is my story
This is my song�Praising my Savior
All the day long
(2x)
Scripture Reading
Hebrews 10:23–25
Hebrews 10:23–25
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. 24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
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

Becoming a Stable Person
James 5:7–12
Becoming a Stable Person
Stability follows growth in patience and faithfulness.
Becoming a Stable Person
Stability follows growth in patience and faithfulness.
James 5:7–12
7 Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. 8 You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
James 5:7–12
9 Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!
Becoming a Stable Person
Stability follows growth in patience and faithfulness.
James 5:7–12
10 Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
James 5:7–12
11 As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
Becoming a Stable Person
Stability follows growth in patience and faithfulness.
Robert Thornton’s Lexicon of Intentionally Ambiguous Recommendations (LIAR)
James 5:7–12
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
Becoming a Stable Person
Stability follows growth in patience and faithfulness.
There Is A Hope So Sure
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
There is a hope so sure
A promise so secure
The mystery of God
At last made known
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
Treasures so vast appear
All wisdom, knowledge here
It’s Christ in us
The hope of glory
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
And the life that I now live
No longer is my own
Jesus lives in me
The hope of glory
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
And each day I live
No longer is my own
Jesus lives in me
The hope of glory
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
There is a life so true
A life of love so pure
For all our sin
A perfect sacrifice
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
And when that life was nailed
On cruel cross impaled
Our sinful flesh
With him was crucified
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
There is a life so strong
That a whole world of wrong
And all the powers of hell
Could not defeat
There is a hope so sure A promise so secure The mystery of God At last made known
For Jesus rose again
And if we died with him
With him we'll rise
To share his endless life
Closing Prayer
Share your faith!
