◦ Garold Syring
◦ the Worship Ministry
2. Pray that the Holy Spirit will move in our corporate gatherings, leading us to exalt Jesus Christ.
3. Pray that CCC will grow in Christ-exalting, Kingdom advancing ministry in 2018.
4. Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many.
5. Pray that we will become a house of prayer.
Garold Syring will be filling the pulpit this Sunday. His sermon is titled ‘Citizens of Heaven’. He will be using Philippians 3:15-21 as his text.
Jesus taught that his kingdom and his followers were not of this world (John 17:14-19; 18:36 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth. Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.”). Paul's remarks in Philippians 3 reflect a similar idea: Because Christians are citizens of heaven, their thought, language, priorities, and behavior will follow heavenly standards instead of world ones. The value we place on earthly things will be comparatively limited as we store up eternal treasures in heaven-our true home in God's presence.
During Paul's second missionary journey, he visited Philippi, a Roman colony located far from the center of the empire. His letter to the Philippians was written from prison, probably many years after he planted the church. In this passage of Philippians 3:15-21 we will be challenged to see ourselves as citizens of heaven-and to live accordingly.
Prepare yourself for worship as you enter the sanctuary Sunday morning. It is very important that we take time to prepare our hearts to worship God before we set foot in the sanctuary on Sunday morning. God made this clear amid the awesome circumstances of the giving of the law in Exodus 19. God called the people to prepare to come into His presence, or near His presence, but not actually onto the mountain where He would speak to Moses. "Then the LORD said to Moses, 'Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow and let them wash their clothes. And let them be ready for the third day. For on the third day the LORD will come down upon Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people" (Exodus 19:10-11). God wanted the people of Israel, before they come near to Him, to get ready to come near to Him, to prepare themselves for an encounter with Him.

We have thought on Your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of Your temple.
-Psalm 48:9
How Great Is Our God
The splendor of the King clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, let all the earth rejoice.
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide,
and trembles at His voice, trembles at His voice.
How great is our God! Sing with me; How great is our God!
And all will see how great, how great is our God.
Age to age He stands and time is in his hands,
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End.
The God-head, three in one, and Father and Spirit and Son,
The Lion and the Lamb. The Lion and the Lamb.
How great is our God! Sing with me; How great is our God!
And all will see how great, how great is our God.
Name above all names, worthy of all praise.
My heart will sing: How great is our God.
Name above all names, worthy of all praise.
My heart will sing: How great is our God.
How great is our God! Sing with me; How great is our God!
And all will see how great, how great is our God.

One Thing RemainsHigher than the mountains that I face, stronger than the power of the grave,
Constant in the trail and the change; this one thing remains.
Higher than the mountains that I face, stronger than the power of the grave,
Constant in the trail and the change; this one thing remains:
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never tuns out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never tuns out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never tuns out on me.
Your love, Your love.
And on and on and on and on it goes, it overwhelms and satisfies my soul,
And I never, ever have to be afraid; This one thing remains:
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up. It never runs out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me,
Your love, Your love.
In death, in life I’m confident and covered by the power of Your great love.
My debt is paid. There’s nothing that can separate my heart from You great love.
You love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me.
Your love, Your love.
And on and on and on and on it goes, It overwhelms and satisfies my soul,
And I never, ever have to be afraid; This one thing remains,
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out on me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never runs out one me.
Your love never fails and never gives up, it never tuns out on me,
Your love, Your love, Your love.
