Our Affirmation of Faith
We believe in God the creator of us all, whose desire for
diversity is seen in the rainbow of humanity. With unrelenting
passion God Seeks to be in relationship with all of us.
We believe in Jesus the Christ, who is the embodiment of
God’s redeeming grace; And in the Holy Spirit through whom
that grace continues its restoring work.
We believe in the Church. It is the body of Christ on the earth
today. As ministers of this church, we are all called like Jesus,
to heal, to deliver, to teach, and to serve.
We believe that together we can change the world,
in our time and for all time Amen!
Affirmation Chorus: In This Place
In this place, There’s joy that I can’t explain
In this place, There’s healing for all my pain
There is love unlike I’ve ever known
Everybody here makes me feel at home
As we gather here, I know I’m not alone
I feel God’s presence, Moving in this place..
YOUR LOVE IS BEAUTIFUL
You surrounded me with your songs of praise, You have brought me to this place
Where your love and grace, move within my life, Now Your message is my light
Chorus: Your love is beautiful, Your love is beautiful, It’s the reason why I sing
All around the world, let the praise begin, All around the world, let the praise begin
(BREAK) I am planted here by the waters and I am living for the King
I have found my place in the house of God, This is where I’m meant to be
Chorus 2: Your love is beautiful, Your love is beautiful, It’s the reason why I sing
All around the world, let the praise begin, All around the world, let the praise begin
All around the world, let the praise begin, All around the world, let the praise begin
(Long break then repeat Chorus 2)
GOD OF ALL MY DAYS
I came to You with my heart in pieces, And found you God with healing in your hands
I turned to You, put everything behind me, And found the God who makes all things new
I looked to You, drowning in my questions, And found the God who holds all wisdom
And I trusted You and stepped out on the ocean, You caught my hand among the waves
Chorus: ‘Cause You’re the God of all my days, Each step I take You make a way.
And I will give You all my praise. My seasons change, You stay the same.
You’re the God of all my days (Pause)
I ran from You, and wandered in the shadows, And found a God who relentlessly pursues
I hid from You, haunted by my failure, And found the God whose grace still covers me
I fell on You when I was at my weakest, And found the God, the lifter of my head
And I’ve worshiped You. And felt You right beside me You’re the reason that I sing(chorus)
In my worry, God You are my stillness, In my searching, God You are my answers
In my blindness, God You are my vision, In my bondage, God You are my freedom
In my weakness, God You are my power, You’re the reason that I sing (chorus)
In my blindness, God You are my vision. In my bondage,
God You are my freedom… All my days
DO IT AGAIN
Randy: Walking around these walls
I thought by now they’d fall. But You have never failed me yet
Tammy: Waiting for change to come
Knowing the battle’s won. For You have never failed me yet
Chorus: Your promise still stands, Great is Your faithfulness, your faithfulness
I’m still in Your hands, This is my confidence, You’ve never failed me yet
(Randy) Never failed me yet
Verse: I know the night won’t last, Your Word will come to pass
My heart will sing Your praise again, God, You are still enough
Keeping me in Your love, My heart will sing Your praise again (Chorus 2x)
Bridge I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ve seen You move, You move the mountains
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, You made a way, where there was no way
And I believe, I’ll see You do it again, I’ll see You do it again OH (pause) (Chorus 2x)
Outro: Oh, You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
You’ve never failed me yet, And I never will forget
TODAY’S SCRIPTURE:
If you reason with an arrogant cynic, you’ll get slapped in the face;
confront bad behavior and get a kick in the shins.
So don’t waste your time on a scoffer; all you’ll get for your pains is abuse.
But if you correct those who care about life,
that’s different—they’ll love you for it!
Save your breath for the wise—they’ll be wiser for it;
tell good people what you know—they’ll profit from it. PROVERBS 9:7-9
Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
For he will despise the wisdom of your words. PROVERBS 23:9
“Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do,
they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces. “
MATTHEW 7:6
“Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore
wise as serpents, and harmless as doves” MATTHEW 10:16
