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)
Welcome
We’re glad you’re here!

Prayer
Speak O Lord as we come to You�To receive the food
Of Your holy word�Take Your truth, plant it deep in us�Shape and fashion us
In Your likeness
That the light of Christ
Might be seen today�In our acts of love
And our deeds of faith�Speak O Lord and fulfill in us�All Your purposes for Your glory
Teach us Lord full obedience�Holy reverence, true humility�Test our thoughts and our attitudes�In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise�Cause our eyes to see�Your majestic love and authority�Words of power that can never fail�Let their truth prevail over unbelief
Speak O Lord and renew our minds�Help us grasp the heights
Of Your plans for us�Truths unchanged
From the dawn of time�That will echo down
Through eternity
And by grace we’ll stand
On Your promises�And by faith we’ll walk
As You walk with us�Speak O Lord till Your church is built�And the earth is filled with Your glory

Being a Christian of Noble Character

Being a Christian of Noble Character
Acts 17
10 As soon as it was night, the believers sent Paul and Silas away to Berea. On arriving there, they went to the Jewish synagogue. 11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. 12 As a result, many of them believed, as did
also a number of prominent Greek women and many Greek men.

13 But when the Jews in Thessalonica learned that Paul was preaching the word of God at Berea, some of them went there too, agitating the crowds and stirring them up. 14 The believers immediately sent Paul to the coast, but Silas and Timothy stayed at Berea. 15 Those who escorted Paul brought him to Athens and then left with instructions for Silas and Timothy to join him as
soon as possible.

(d. 1555, 1556)
Luke 22:19–21: “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.”
1 Corinthians 11:27–29: So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and
drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves.
1 Corinthians 11:23–25: For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, 24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in
remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
Christ Is Mine Forevermore
Mine are days that God has
numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings
But mine is hope in my
Redeemer
Though I fall His love is sure
For Christ has paid for
every failing
I am His forevermore
Mine are tears in times of
sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must
travel
Where I see no earthly good
But mine is peace that flows from
heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes His work in me
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name
But mine is armor for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Come rejoice now O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found
its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
