No Other Name
There is no other name�In heaven can be found�Through whom we are
redeemed�Through whom your grace
abounds�No other name can save�But Jesus Christ our Lord
My joy in sorrow’s tears�My strength to cast out fears�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus�My hope in darkest night�My broken soul's delight�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus
There is no victory�But Jesus crucified�No other cure for sin�But that our Savior died�No other hope we have�But that he rose again�Again
My joy in sorrow’s tears�My strength to cast out fears�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus�My hope in darkest night�My broken soul's delight�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus
No other throne endures�No other song remains�But ‘Worthy is the Lamb�Who was for sinners slain’�When every knee shall bow�And tongue confess you are
Lord�You are Lord
My joy in sorrow’s tears�My strength to cast out fears�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus�My hope in darkest night�My broken soul’s delight�No other name but Jesus,
Jesus

The Folly of a Faulty Relationship with God
Acts 19:1–20
Acts 19:1–20
Remedies for a Faulty Relationship with God
Acts 19:1–20
1 While Apollos was at Corinth, Paul took the road through the interior and arrived at Ephesus. There he found some disciples 2 and asked them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They answered, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” 3 So Paul asked, “Then what baptism did you receive?” “John’s baptism,” they replied.
Acts 19:1–20
4 Paul said, “John’s baptism was a baptism of repentance. He told the people to believe in the one coming after him, that is, in Jesus.” 5 On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. 6 When Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied. 7 There were about twelve men in all.
Acts 19:1–20
Remedies for a Faulty Relationship with God
Acts 19:1–20
8 Paul entered the synagogue and spoke boldly there for three months, arguing persuasively about the kingdom of God. 9 But some of them became obstinate; they refused to believe and publicly maligned the Way. So Paul left them. He took the disciples with him and had discussions daily in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. 10 This went on for two years, so that all the
Jews and Greeks who lived in the province of Asia heard the word of the Lord.
Acts 19:1–20
Remedies for a Faulty Relationship with God
Acts 19:1–20
11 God did extraordinary miracles through Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them. 13 Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed. They would say, “In the
name of the Jesus whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.”
Acts 19:1–20
14 Seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this. 15 One day the evil spirit answered them, “Jesus I know, and Paul I know about, but who are you?” 16 Then the man who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding. 17 When this became known to the Jews
and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor.
Acts 19:1–20
Remedies for a Faulty Relationship with God
Acts 19:1–20
18 Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. 19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas. 20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.
Acts 19:1–20
Remedies for a Faulty Relationship with God
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.”
Beneath the Cross
Beneath the cross of Jesus�I find a place to stand�And wonder at such mercy�That calls me as I am
For hands that should discard me�Hold wounds which tell me ‘Come’�Beneath the cross of Jesus�My unworthy soul is won
Beneath the cross of Jesus�His family is my own�Once strangers chasing selfish
dreams�Now one through grace alone
How could I now dishonor�The ones that You have loved�Beneath the cross of Jesus�See the children called by God
Beneath the cross of Jesus�The path before the crown�We follow in His footsteps�Where promised hope is found
How great the joy before us�To be His perfect bride�Beneath the cross of Jesus�We will gladly live our lives
