Preparing for Worship May 5, 2024 www.crossroadswsks.com WHAT TO PRAY THIS WEEK Speaker: Patrick Belshe Pray for those who will lead in worship: Garold Syring the Worship Ministry team Patrick Belshe Erin Toole Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in our corporate gatherings, leading us to exalt Jesus Christ. Pray that CCC will grow in Christ-exalting, Kingdom advancing ministry in 2024. Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many. Pray that we will become a house of prayer. This Sunday Patrick will be using 2 Samuel 22:29-37 as his text for his sermon entitled ‘ Exalt His Praise. 29For you are my lamp, O Lord, and my God lightens my darkness. 30 For by you I can run against a troop, and by my God I can leap over a wall. 31 This God—his way is perfect; the word of the Lord proves true; he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him. 32 “For who is God, but the Lord? And who is a rock, except our God? 33 This God is my strong refuge and has made my way blameless. 34 He made my feet like the feet of a deer and set me secure on the heights. 35 He trains my hands for war, so that my arms can bend a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of your salvation, and your gentleness made me great. 37 You gave a wide place for my steps under me, and my feet did not slip; A Mandate of Balance All ministry stems from knowledge of the person of God. To know Him is to love Him. To know Him is to love His people. To know Him is to have godly concern for the lost at home and abroad.

CCLI License # 2473598 Good, Good FatherOh, and I've heard a thousand stories of what they think You're like, but I've heard the tender whisper of love in the dead of night, And You tell me that You're pleased and that I'm never alone. You're a good, good Father, It's who You are, it's who You are it's who You are. And I'm loved by You; It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am. Oh, and I've seen many searching for answers far and wide, but I know we're all searching for answers only You provide. 'Cause You know just what we need before we say a word. You're a good, good Father, It's who you are, it's who You are, it's who You are. And I'm loved by You; It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am. You're a good, good father, It's who you are, it's who You are, it's who You are. And I'm loved by You; It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways to us. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways. You are perfect in all of Your ways to us. Oh, it's love so undeniable, I, I can hardly speak. Peace so unexplainable, I, I can hardly think; as You call me deeper still, as You call me deeper still, as You call me deeper still into love, love, love. You're a good, good Father. It's who You are, it's who You are, it's who You are. And I'm loved by You; It's who I am it's who I am. It's who I am. You're a good, good Father.

Why should my heart be lonely And long for heav'n and home When Jesus is my portion? My constant Friend is He: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. “Let not your heart be troubled.” His tender words I hear; And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubt and fear. Though by the path He leadeth But on step I may see: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. Whenever I am tempted, Whenever clouds arise, When songs give place to sighing, When hope within me dies, I draw the closer to Him; From care He sets me free: His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. I sing because I'm happy. I sing because I'm free; For His eye is on the sparrow, And I know He watches me. “A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” Words and music by Martin Luther We Are the Body of Christ One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ. One goal, one vision, to see You exalted; We are the body of Christ. And to this we give our lives; To see You glorified. One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ. One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ. One goal, one vision, to see You exalted; We are the body of Christ. And to this we give our lives; To see You glorified. One heart, one spirit, one voice to praise You; We are the body of Christ. And to this we give our lives; To see You glorified.
