This Sunday Guest Patrick will be using Acts 9:32- 43 as his text for a sermon entitled “Digging into familiar territory”.

32 Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to the [a]saints who lived at Lydda. 33 There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed. 34 Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed.” Immediately he got up. 35 And all who lived at Lydda and Sharon saw him, and they turned to the Lord.
36 Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did. 37 And it happened [e]at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room. 38 Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, “Do not delay in coming to us.” 39 So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them. 40 But Peter sent them all out and knelt down and prayed, and turning to the body, he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter, she sat up. 41 And he gave her his hand and raised her up; and calling the saints and widows, he presented her alive. 42 It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord. 43 And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.
 
Who Will Worship?
God Delivers Me

I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised,
    and I am saved from my enemies. Psalm 18:3
The Word and worship are interwoven practices. As God’s character and will are revealed in His Word our impulse is to worship Him.

God so LovedCome, all you weary, come, all you thirsty,
Come to the well that never runs dry.
Drink of the water, come, and thirst no more.
 
Come, all you sinners, come find His mercy.
Come to the table; He will satisfy.
Taste of His goodness, find what you’re looking for.
 
For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save us.
Whoever believes in him will live forever.
 
Bring all your failures, bring you addictions.
Come, lay them down at the foot of the cross.
Jesus is waiting there with open arms.
 
For God so loved the world that He gave us His one and only Son to save us.
Whoever believes in Him will live forever.
 
The power for hell forever defeated.
Now it is well, I’m walking in freedom.
For God so loved, God so love the world.
 
Praise God, praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him, praise Him for the wonders of His love.
Praise God, praise God from whom all blessings flow.
Praise Him, praise Him for the wonders of His love.
 
For God so loved the world that He gave us His one and only Son to save.
For God so loved the world that He gave us His one and only Son to save us.
Whoever believes in Him will live forever.
 
The power of hell forever defeated.
Now it is well, I’m walking in freedom.
For God so love, God so loved the world.
 
Bring all your failures, bring your addiction.
Come, lay them down at the foot of the cross.
Jesus is waiting. God so loved the world.

It Took A MiracleVerse 1My Father is omnipotent
And that you can't deny
A God of might and miracles
'Tis written in the sky
ChorusIt took a miracle to put the stars in place
It took a miracle to hang the world in space
But when He saved my soul
Cleansed and made me whole
It took a miracle of love and grace
Verse 2Tho' here His glory has been shown
We still can't fully see
The wonders of His might His throne
'Twill take eternity
Verse 3The Bible tells us of His pow'r
And wisdom all way thru
And ev'ry little bird and flow'r
Are testimonies too

I Sing The Almighty Power Of GodVerse 1I sing the mighty power of God
That made the mountains rise
That spread the flowing seas abroad
And built the lofty skies
I sing the wisdom that ordained
The sun to rule the day
The moon shines full at His command
And all the stars obey
Verse 2I sing the goodness of the Lord
That filled the earth with food
He formed the creatures with His word
And then pronounced them good
Lord how Thy wonders are displayed
Where'er I turn my eye
If I survey the ground I tread
Or gaze upon the sky
Verse 3There's not a plant or flower below
But makes Thy glories known
And clouds arise and tempests blow
By order from Thy throne
While all that borrows life from Thee
Is ever in Thy care
And everywhere that we can be
Thou God art present there

Only a Holy God
Who else commands all the host of heaven?
Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles?
Only a holy God.
 
What other beauty demands such praises?
What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice?
Only a Holy God.
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God.
 
What other glory consume like fire?
What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated?
Only a holy God.
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God.
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God.
 
Who else could rescue me from my failing?
Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father?
Only a holy God.
 
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God.
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God.
Come and behold Him, the One and the only.
Cry out, sing, “Holy, forever a holy God.”
Come and worship the holy God

God Will Make A WayChorusGod will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength
For each new day
He will make a way
He will make a wayCCLI Song # 458620 Don Moen © 1990 Integrity's Hosanna! Music (Admin. by Integrity Music) For use solely with the SongSelect® Terms of Use. All rights reserved. www.ccli.com CCLI License # 2473598
