“We Sing As One”

Father in heaven we are Your children 

You gave us life oh Lord life eternal 

You hold nothing back from those You love 

You are Father in heaven we are Your children 

 

First and the Last oh Lord You know us deeply 

You search our hearts we trust You completely 

You lay out our paths and keep us close 

You are First and the Last oh Lord 

You know us deeply 

 

Chorus  

We sing as one Lord we are Your children 

Pour out Your Spirit upon the broken 

O loving Father come and draw near us 

We see Your glory and know that You hear us 

 

All ears shall hear and all eyes will witness 

Redeeming power and grace of Your Son Jesus 

For He alone can save and heal the lost 

O all ears shall hear and all eyes will witness

”Te alabaré mi buen Jesús”

Eres tu la única razón

De mi adoración oh Jesús!

Eres tu la esperanza 

Que anhele tener oh Jesús!

 

Confíe en ti me has ayudado

Tu salvación me has regalado

Hoy hay gozo en mi corazón

Con mi canto te alabaré

 

Te alabaré, te glorificare, te alabaré mi buen Jesús

En todo tiempo te alabaré, en todo tiempo te adorare

En todo tiempo te alabaré, en todo tiempo te adorare

 

Te alabaré, te glorificare, te alabaré mi buen Jesús 

Te alabaré, te glorificare, te alabaré mi buen Jesús 

“Reckless Love”

Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me

You have been so, so good to me

Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me

You have been so so kind to me

Chorus

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the 99

And I couldn't earn it

I don't deserve it, still You give yourself away

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me

You have been so, so good to me

When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me

You have been so, so kind to me

Chorus

Bridge

There's no shadow You won't light up

Mountain You won't climb up

Coming after me

There's no wall You won't kick down

Lie You won't tear down

Coming after me

Chorus

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | ESTHER 6 ESV

The King Honors Mordecai

6 On that night the king could not sleep. And he gave orders to bring the book of memorable deeds, the chronicles, and they were read before the king. 2 And it was found written how Mordecai had told about Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs, who guarded the threshold, and who had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus. 3 And the king said, “What honor or distinction has been bestowed on Mordecai for this?” The king's young men who attended him said, “Nothing has been done for him.” 4 And the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace to speak to the king about having Mordecai hanged on the gallows that he had prepared for him. 5 And the king's young men told him, “Haman is there, standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.” 6 So Haman came in, and the king said to him, “What should be done to the man whom the king delights to honor?” And Haman said to himself, “Whom would the king delight to honor more than me?” 7 And Haman said to the king, “For the man whom the king delights to honor, 8 let royal robes be brought, which the king has worn, and the horse that the king has ridden, and on whose head a royal crown is set. 9 And let the robes and the horse be handed over to one of the king's most noble officials. Let them dress the man whom the king delights to honor, and let them lead him on the horse through the square of the city, proclaiming before him: ‘Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.’” 10 Then the king said to Haman, “Hurry; take the robes and the horse, as you have said, and do so to Mordecai the Jew, who sits at the king's gate. Leave out nothing that you have mentioned.” 11 So Haman took the robes and the horse, and he dressed Mordecai and led him through the square of the city, proclaiming before him, “Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor.”

12 Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered. 13 And Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, “If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the Jewish people, you will not overcome him but will surely fall before him.”

Esther Reveals Haman's Plot

14 While they were yet talking with him, the king's eunuchs arrived and hurried to bring Haman to the feast that Esther had prepared.

“En La Cruz”

Me hirió el pecado, y fui a Jesús,

Mostrele mi dolor; Perdido,

Errante, vi su luz, bendijome en su amor.

Coro

En la cruz, en la cruz, do primero

Vi la luz, Y las manchas de mí

Alma yo lave: fue allí por fe do vi

A Jesús, Y siempre feliz por el seré.

Sobre una cruz, mi buen señor,

Su sangre derramo, Por este

Pobre Pecador a quien allí salvo

Venció la muerte con poder, y al

Cielo se exalto; Confiar en él es

Mi placer, morir no temo yo.

Aunque el se fue solo no estoy,

Mando al consolador,

Divino Espíritu, que hoy

Me da perfecto amor.

APOSTLES CREED

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead He ascended to heaven and is seated

at the right hand of God the Father almighty.  From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,  the holy catholic* church, the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.
