Heart Of Worship
Altar
It Is Well With My Soul
Mighty To Save
Heart Of Worship
Verse 1
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart
Pre-Chorus
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart
Chorus
I’m coming back to the heart of worship
And it’s all about You all about You Jesus
I’m sorry Lord for the thing I’ve made it
When it’s all about You
All about You Jesus
Verse 2
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I’m weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Ev’ry single breath
(back to top)
Altar
Verse 1
You beckon me beckon me
To leave all that I’ve known
You beckon me beckon me
To call you as my own
This is life this is life
To bid me come and die
Spirit of the living God
You’re all that satisfies
All that satisfies
Chorus 1
Here I give my everything
Surrendered at the altar of my King
For I am His and He is mine
Oh I know that He will
Never leave my side
He’ll never leave my side
Verse 2
You beckon me beckon me
To leave all that I’ve known
You beckon me beckon me
To call you as my own
This is life this is life
To bid me come and die
Spirit of living God
You’re all that satisfies
All that satisfies
Chorus 2
So here I give my everything
Surrendered at the altar of my King
For I am His and He is mine
Oh I know that He will
Never leave my side
Bridge
My desire is for You
All of Heaven adores You
I’ve tasted and I’ve seen
That You are good
Your kingdom’s forever
Your throne lasts forever
And forever I will sing
That You are good
Bridge
‘Cause I’m hanging on
To Your every word
Like a melody
That no one else has heard
Soon I’ll be at heaven’s shore
After all it’s what I’ve waited for
After all it’s what I’ve waited for
Chorus 3
So here I give my everything
I’m surrendered at the altar of my King
For I am His and He is mine
Oh I know that He will
Never leave my side
Oh I know that He will
Never leave my side
He’ll never leave my side
It Is Well With My Soul
Verse 1
When peace like a river
Attendeth my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well
It is well with my soul
Chorus
It is well with my soul
It is well
It is well with my soul
Verse 2
Tho’ Satan should buffet
Tho’ trials should come
Let this blest assurance control
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate
And hath shed His own blood
For my soul
Verse 3
My sin O the bliss
Of this glorious tho’t
My sin not in part but the whole
Is nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord O my soul
Verse 4
And Lord haste the day
When the faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend
Even so it is well
With my soul
Mighty To Save
Verse 1
Ev’ryone needs compassion
Love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Ev’ryone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Chorus
Saviour He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Verse 2
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Ev’rything I believe in
Now I surrender
Bridge
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King
Jesus
Shine your light and let the whole world see
We’re singing
For the glory of the risen King

FBC Richland: Who We Are (Week Seven)
Pastor Tim Walker
17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
18 All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation.
20 Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.
2 Corinthians 5:17-20 ESV
1 Soon afterward he went on through cities and villages, proclaiming and bringing the good news of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with him,
2 and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
3 and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s household manager, and Susanna, and many others, who provided for them out of their means.
4 And when a great crowd was gathering and people from town after town came to him, he said in a parable,
5 “A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell along the path and was trampled underfoot, and the birds of the air devoured it.
6 And some fell on the rock, and as it grew up, it withered away, because it had no moisture.
7 And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up with it and choked it.
8 And some fell into good soil and grew and yielded a hundredfold.” As he said these things, he called out, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”
9 And when his disciples asked him what this parable meant,
10 he said, “To you it has been given to know the secrets of the kingdom of God, but for others they are in parables, so that ‘seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.’
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
12 The ones along the path are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not believe and be saved.
13 And the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear the word, receive it with joy. But these have no root; they believe for a while, and in time of testing fall away.
14 And as for what fell among the thorns, they are those who hear, but as they go on their way they are choked by the cares and riches and pleasures of life, and their fruit does not mature.
15 As for that in the good soil, they are those who, hearing the word, hold it fast in an honest and good heart, and bear fruit with patience.
Luke 8:1-15 ESV
2 Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
3 Already you are clean because of the word that I have spoken to you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me.
5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.
7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 By this my Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit and so prove to be my disciples.
9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love.
10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as
I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in
his love.
11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.
John 15:1-11 ESV

The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together.
“Rope in”– brother to brother and sister to sister – on a weekly basis so that together we can draw near to God and join him in his kingdom work.
This is an exploration – commit and prepare for a long and rewarding journey.

Ministry of the Month – February 2022
David & Andrea Foster
ABWE; Richland WA & Training for Ministry in Thailand
David and Andrea Foster are full-time missionaries, raising support to work in the Isan region of Thailand with ABWE (Association of Baptists for World Evangelism). Their ministry includes evangelism & discipleship, youth outreach, men’s & women’s fellowship groups, leadership development, and church planting. David preached the gospel in 21 different churches in 2021. They are currently mentoring men & women in the US and Cambodia. David is from Richland, Washington, and Andrea is from St. Louis Park, Minnesota. They have two children, Karen (17), and Sarah (4).
David was saved during a Vacation Bible School program here at FBC. Andrea was saved during a Good News Club program. Karen was saved after an AWANA event. In December, Sarah accepted Jesus as her Savior.
It is said that in Thailand, 95% of the people will never meet a Christian. The focus of the Fosters’ ministry and message is to help people meet, know, and follow Jesus, to encourage and develop a healthy relationship with Him, and to leave behind the ‘backpack’ mentality of taking God with them on their journey and instead focusing on the ‘new life journey’ of following and even pursuing Christ. God has already opened many doors for them to share the Gospel to people from all walks of life, and to many different cultures and nationalities. Until they move to Thailand, they will continue to do ministry where God has placed them.
Join a Missions Team Breakout Session on Sunday, February 27 at 11:00 AM to hear more about their ministry.
Prayer Requests:
- Praise for Sarah asking Jesus into her heart
- Praise for a very successful year of ministry and training in 2021
- Prayer for David, Andera, and their daughters to have a healthy relationship with God and each other
- Prayer for their monthly support level to reach 100% so they can then move to Thailand
- Prayer for ministry opportunities while they are here, that they continue to see open doors to share the Gospel
- Prayer for the Isan people of Northeastern Thailand to hear the Gospel
- Prayer for Andre in Cambodia, as they mentor him and others in his church, and as he pursues planting more churches in Cambodia
