Sunday, July 26
As stewards of God’s words and works, it is with delight that we have the opportunity to gather as His people in worship by way of a reminder of the truth, power, and goodness of the sacred Scriptures. May we gather in His name and for His glory as we endeavor to make much of Christ through scripture, prayer, song, and the preaching of His Word. We look forward to gathering together this Lord’s day – For Christ, to God’s Glory, and Man’s Joy!

This Sunday’s Sermon
Paul Preaches Christ | Acts 13:13-43 | Manny Pereira
The words are still reverberating: “he was astonished at the teaching of the Lord.” Now, a new scene comes into view that unfolds and showcases this teaching. The apostle Paul is in a synagogue. He is invited to speak. The result is the very first sermon recorded in Acts that was preached by Paul. It is stunningly centered on Christ. In an impressive economy of words, Paul leads his hearers on a tour through God’s ancient promises. The tour leads to Jesus. Similar to the precision and power of Peter’s preaching at Pentecost, Paul preaches Christ.
The Believer’s Baptism
We believe that the Lord Jesus Christ has committed two ordinances to the local church, baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We believe that Christian baptism is the immersion of a believer in water into the Name of the triune God. We believe that the two ordinances should be observed and administered until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ (Matthew 28:18-20; Acts 2:41; 8:38-39; 1 Corinthians 11:23-32). If you are interested in being baptized or have more questions, please contact us: contact@trinitybiblechurch.org

Today’s Song Lyrics
Crown Him with Many Crowns
Verse 1
Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne;
Hark, how the heavenly anthem drowns
All music but its own!
Awake my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail Him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
Verse 2
Crown Him the Son of God,
Before the worlds began,
And ye who tread where He hath trod,
Crown Him the Son of Man.
Who every grief hath known
That wrings the human breast,
And takes and bears them for His own,
That all in Him may rest.
Verse 3
Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.
Verse 4
Crown Him the Lord of heav’n,
Enthroned in worlds above;
Crown Him, the King to whom is giv’n
The wondrous name of Love.
Crown Him with many crowns,
As thrones before Him fall;
Crown Him, ye kings with many crowns,
For He is King of all.

Sanctus (Holy, Holy, Holy)
Verse 1
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord;
Holy, holy, holy, creation bows before You.
Worthy, worthy, worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive the highest praise.
(Chorus)
Name above all other names,
King above all other kings.
All of Heaven cries,
“The Lord Almighty reigns forevermore!”
“He reigns forevermore!”

The Solid Rock
Verse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
(Chorus)
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
Verse 2
When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vale.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
(Repeat Chorus)

I Set My Hope on Jesus
Verse 1
When this life of trials tests my faith,
I set my hope on Jesus.
When the questions come and doubts remain,
I set my hope on Jesus.
For the deepest wounds that time won't heal,
There's a joy that runs still deeper.
There's a truth that's more than all I feel;
I set my hope on Jesus.
Chorus
I set my hope on Jesus,
My Rock, my only trust,
Who set His heart upon me first;
I set my hope on Jesus.
Verse 2
Though I falter in this war with sin,
I set my hope on Jesus.
When I fail the fight and sink within,
I set my hope on Jesus.
Though the shame would drown me in its sea,
And I dread the waves of justice,
I will cast my life on Calvary;
I set my hope on Jesus.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Though the world call me to leave my Lord,
I set my hope on Jesus.
Though it offer all its vain rewards,
I set my hope on Jesus.
Though this heart of mine be prone to stray,
Give me grace enough to finish.
Till I worship on that final day,
I set my hope on Jesus.
(Repeat Chorus)

Christ, The True and Better
Verse 1
Christ, the true and better Adam,
Son of God and Son of man;
Who, when tempted in the garden
Never yielded, never sinned.
He, Who makes the many righteous,
Brings us back to life again.
Dying, He reversed the curse; then,
Rising crushed the serpent’s head.
Verse 2
Christ, the true and better Isaac,
Humble Son of sacrifice;
Who would climb the fearful mountain,
There to offer up His life.
Laid with faith upon the altar;
Father’s joy and only Son.
There salvation was provided;
Oh, what full and boundless love!
(Chorus)
Amen, amen from beginning to end.
Christ, the story, His, the glory.
Alleluia, amen.
Verse 3
Christ, the true and better Moses,
Called to lead a people home;
Standing bold to earthly powers,
God’s great glory to be known.
With His arms stretched wide to heaven,
See the waters part in two.
See the veil was torn forever;
Cleansed with blood we pass now through.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4
Christ, the true and better David;
Lowly Shepherd, mighty King.
He, the champion in the battle;
Where O death, is now thy sting?
In our place He bled and conquered;
Crown Him Lord of Majesty.
He shall be the throne forever.
We shall e’re His people be.
(Repeat Chorus)
