Sunday, June 28
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
The Church in the Great Commission | Acts 14:21-23 | Manny Pereira
The Great Commission is not individualistic. From beginning to end, the church is central. Scripture reveals the vital place of the local church in Christ’s mission to the nations. The risen Lord sends His people not merely to secure decisions or scatter isolated disciples, but to make obedient followers who are baptized, taught, gathered, and established in healthy local churches. Thus, the church is both the ordinary sender of missionaries and the enduring goal of missionary labor. The ultimate end of the Great Commission is the glory of Christ among all peoples. The local church is His appointed means and enduring display of that glory—a gathered people who know Him, obey Him, worship Him, and make Him known until the day when the redeemed from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation stand before the Lamb.

Today’s Song Lyrics
By Faith
Verse 1
By faith we see the hand of God
In the light of creation’s grand design.
In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,
Who walk by faith and not by sight.
Verse 2
By faith our fathers roamed the earth,
With the power of His promise in their hearts,
Of a holy city built by God’s own hand,
A place where peace and justice reign.
(Chorus)
We will stand as children of the promise;
We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward;
Till the race is finished and the work is done.
We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.
Verse 3
By faith the prophets saw a day
When the longed-for Messiah would appear,
With the power to break the chains of sin and death,
And rise triumphant from the grave.
Verse 4
By faith the church was called to go
In the power of the Spirit to the lost.
To deliver captives and to preach good news
In every corner of the earth.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 5
By faith this mountain shall be moved,
And the power of the gospel shall prevail;
For we know in Christ all things are possible
For all who call upon His name.
(Repeat Chorus)

May the Peoples Praise You
Verse 1
You have called us out of darkest night,
Into Your glorious light
That we may sing the wonders of
The risen Christ.
Verse 2
May our every breath retell the grace
That broke into our strife
With boundless love and deepest joy,
With endless life.
(Chorus)
May the peoples praise You,
Let the nations be glad!
All Your blessing comes that we may praise,
May praise the name of Jesus.
Verse 3
All the earth is Yours and all within,
Each harvest is Your own,
And from Your hand we give to You,
To make Christ known.
Verse 4
May the seeds of mercy grow in us
For those who have not heard,
May songs of praise build lives of grace
To spread Your Word.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 5
This our holy privilege to declare
Your praises and Your Name;
To every nation, tribe, and tongue
Your church proclaims.
(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
Holy, holy, is the Lord Almighty.
Worthy, worthy, is the Lamb who was slain.
Holy, Holy, is the Lord Almighty.
All creation praise Your glorious Name.
(Repeat Chorus)

The King In All His Beauty
Verse 1
O lift your eyes to Heaven, see
The Holy One eternal.
Behold the Lord of Majesty,
Exalted in His temple.
As symphonies of angels’ praise
Now strain to sound His glory.
Come worship, fall before His grace,
The King in all His beauty.
(Chorus)
How worthy, how worthy,
How worthy,
The King in all His beauty.
Verse 2
Now see the King who wears a crown,
One made of shame and splinters.
The sacrifice for ruined man,
The substitute for sinners.
As earth is stained with royal blood,
And quakes with love and fury.
He breathes His last and bows His head,
The King in all His beauty.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Now see the Savior lifted up,
The Lamb who reigns in splendor.
The hope of every tribe and tongue,
His kingdom is forever.
Bring praise and honor to His courts,
Bring wisdom, power, blessing.
For endless ages we’ll adore
The King in all His beauty.
(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)

The Lord Almighty Reigns
Verse 1
There’s an endless song
Waiting to be sung,
With the voice of every tribe,
The sound of ev’ry tongue.
When the bride of Christ,
On that day of days,
Brings with joy unto the Lamb
A multitude of praise.
Like the roar of mighty seas
And rolls of thunder, hear His people sing:
(Chorus)
“Hallelujah, hallelujah,
For the Lord Almighty reigns!
Hallelujah, hallelujah,
For the Lord, our God,
The Almighty reigns!”
Verse 2
We will join the feast,
Rest from battles won;
Tell with great rejoicing all
The wonders God has done
And like the roar of mighty seas
And rolls of thunder, all the church will sing:
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3
Certain of that day,
Christ we will proclaim;
Oh, that more would share the prize–
Salvation in His name.
Then greater will the anthem ring,
A mighty chorus rising to the King:
(Repeat Chorus)
