”Thank you Jesus for the Blood”

Verse 

I was a wretch I remember who I was

I was lost I was blind I was running out of time

Sin separated the breach was far too wide

But from the far side of the chasm

You had me in Your sight

Verse 

So You made a way across the great divide

Left behind Heaven's throne to build it here inside

There at the cross You paid the debt I owed

Broke my chains freed my soul

For the first time I had hope

Chorus 

Thank You Jesus for the blood applied

Thank You Jesus it has washed me white

Thank You Jesus You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

Verse 

You took my place laid inside my tomb of sin

You were buried for three days

But then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting and life has no end

For I have been transformed by the blood of the Lamb

(Bridge)

There is nothing stronger

Than  the wonder working power

Of the blood, the blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by our Father

Through the blood the blood

CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER

SERMON TEXT | ESTHER 9:20-32 ESV

The Feast of Purim Inaugurated

20 And Mordecai recorded these things and sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far, 21 obliging them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and also the fifteenth day of the same, year by year, 22 as the days on which the Jews got relief from their enemies, and as the month that had been turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and gladness, days for sending gifts of food to one another and gifts to the poor.

23 So the Jews accepted what they had started to do, and what Mordecai had written to them. 24 For Haman the Agagite, the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur (that is, cast lots), to crush and to destroy them. 25 But when it came before the king, he gave orders in writing that his evil plan that he had devised against the Jews should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. 26 Therefore they called these days Purim, after the term Pur. Therefore, because of all that was written in this letter, and of what they had faced in this matter, and of what had happened to them, 27 the Jews firmly obligated themselves and their offspring and all who joined them, that without fail they would keep these two days according to what was written and at the time appointed every year, 28 that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, in every clan, province, and city, and that these days of Purim should never fall into disuse among the Jews, nor should the commemoration of these days cease among their descendants.

29 Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew gave full written authority, confirming this second letter about Purim. 30 Letters were sent to all the Jews, to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, in words of peace and truth, 31 that these days of Purim should be observed at their appointed seasons, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther obligated them, and as they had obligated themselves and their offspring, with regard to their fasts and their lamenting. 32 The command of Esther confirmed these practices of Purim, and it was recorded in writing.

“Jireh”

Verse

I'll never be more loved than I am right now

Wasn't holding You up

So there's nothing I can do to let You down

It doesn't take a trophy to make You proud

I'll never be more loved than I am right now, oh

 

Verse

Going through a storm but I won't go down

I hear Your voice

Carried in the rhythm of the wind to call me out

You would cross an ocean so I wouldn't drown

You've never been closer than You are right now

 

Chorus

Jireh, You are enough

Jireh, You are enough

And I will be content in every circumstance

Jireh, You are enough

Forever enough Always enough

More than enough

 

Verse

I don't wanna forget how I feel right now

On the mountaintop

I can see so clear what it's all about

So stay by my side when the sun goes down

Don't wanna forget how I feel right now (Jireh)

Chorus

 

Bridge

I'm already loved I'm already chosen

I know who I am I know what You've spoke

I'm already loved More than I could imagine

And that is enough, (that is enough)

'Cause You are enough (You are enough)

So I am enough (so I am enough)

 

If He dresses the lilies with beauty and splendor

How much more will He clothe you?

How much more will He clothe you?

If He watched over every sparrow

 

How much more does He love you?

How much more does He love you?

It's more than you ask, think or imagine

According to His power working in us

It's more than enough

Echo ( In Jesus Name) 

You moved the mountains

Told the wind and waves "Be still"

You cast out demons

Bid the empty soul "Be filled"

 

And now there's breakthrough

Now there's freedom in Your name

You gave us power

And the keys to do the same

 

Verse 

You hold redemption

Made accusers drop their stones

You showed us mercy

With Your mighty miracles

 

And now there's breakthrough

Now there's freedom in Your name

You gave us power

And the keys to do the same

 

Chorus

Now we proclaim (In Jesus' Name)

That walls fall down (In Jesus' Name)

And strongholds break (In Jesus' Name)

Amen!

 

We are healed (In Jesus' name)

There's miracles (In Jesus' Name)

So pour it out (In Jesus' Name)

Amen!

 

Verse 

You crushed the darkness

Made a fool of death and grave

Oh, King Jesus

You make royals out of slaves

 

And now there's breakthrough

Now there's freedom in Your name

You gave us power

And the keys to do the same

 

Chorus

Bridge

CONFESSION OF FAITH

We know God by two means: First, by the creation, preservation, and government of the universe, since that universe is before our eyes like a beautiful book in which all creatures, great and small, are as letters to make us ponder the invisible things of God: God’s eternal power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20. All these things are enough to convict humans and to leave them without excuse. Second, God makes himself known to us more clearly by his holy and divine Word, as much as we need in this life, for God’s glory and for our salvation. Belgic Confession, Art. 2

“How Great Is Our God”

Verse 

The splendor of the King clothed in majesty

Let all the earth rejoice all the earth rejoice

He wraps Himself in light and darkness tries to hide

And trembles at His voice and trembles at His voice

Chorus

How great is our God sing with me

How great is our God and all will see

How great how great is our God

Verse 

And age to age He stands and time is in His hands

Beginning and the end beginning and the end

The Godhead three in one Father Spirit Son

The Lion and the Lamb the Lion and the Lamb

Bridge

Name above all names worthy of all praise

My heart will sing how great is our God
