Announcements

TODAY:
ADULT SUNDAY SCHOOL CLASSES
Sunday school classes begin at 11:00. We hope you’ll join us after the service in one of these classes:

Bible Talk with Pastor Isaac: An interactive study for both youth and adults
– Room 302/304
Current topic: What it means to be the Church
This week: What are the God given missions assigned to the Church and how do we live them?

Book of Titus with Paul Eslinger: An interactive bible study for adults
– Room 303/305
Current passage: Titus 1:1-9
This week: Titus 1:2 talks of the hope of eternal life. There are a lot of other “hope” statements in the New Testament. What do they imply? Also, Titus 1:3 says that in due time God manifested his Word through preaching. Due time implies a waiting period… What are some of the main themes that Paul makes for Christians in the Church age that are different than before?

Lay Me Down

Our God

Great Are You Lord

Lay Me Down

Verse 1

With this heart open wide
From the depths from the heights
I will bring a sacrifice

Verse 2

With these hands lifted high
Hear my song hear my cry
I will bring a sacrifice
I will bring a sacrifice

Chorus

I lay me down
I’m not my own
I belong to You alone
Lay me down lay me down

Oh hand on my heart this much is true
There’s no life apart from You
Lay me down lay me down
Oh lay me down lay me down

Verse 3

Letting go of my pride
Giving up all my rights
Take this life and let it shine
Take this life and let it shine

Bridge

It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way
It will be my joy to say
Your will Your way always

Our God

Verse

Water You turned into wine
Opened the eyes of the blind
There’s no one like You
None like You

Verse 2

Into the darkness You shine
Out of the ashes we rise
There’s no one like You
None like You

Chorus

Our God is greater
Our God is stronger
God You are higher than any other

Our God is healer
Awesome in power
Our God our God

Bridge

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against

And if our God is for us
Then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us
Then what could stand against
What could stand against

Great Are You Lord

Verse 1

You give life You are love
You bring light to the darkness
You give hope You restore
Ev’ry heart that is broken
And great are You Lord

Chorus

It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise
We pour out our praise
It’s Your breath in our lungs
So we pour out our praise to You only

Bridge

And all the earth will shout Your praise
Our hearts will cry these bones will sing
Great are You Lord

Scripture & Sermon Notes

Harmony: Dealing with Discord

Pastor Isaac Terry

1 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth.

3 For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.

4 When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
5 Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

6 On account of these the wrath of God is coming.

7 In these you too once walked, when you were living in them.

8 But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth.

9 Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices

10 and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

11Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.

14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.

16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.

17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Colossians 3:1-17 (ESV)

Missionary of the Month

Steve & Mendi Everett

Steve and Mendi have been serving with ABWE since 2001. For 10 years of that time they lived and served in southern Brazil assisting in church planting as well directing a retreat center called Sitio da Esperança. This property was used to offer “like-minded” churches in the area a place for retreats, baptisms, sporting events, training opportunities and classes, Bible study groups, and family events. It was a great way for churches to encourage their flocks and grow in their fellowship. It also was a great way to evangelize through sporting tournaments, youth rallies, and youth/adult retreats.

They are now based in Salem, OR and have an emphasis on partnering with Brasilian ministry workers to further the gospel reach worldwide. They are partnering with them in an effort to reach further into their communities or the communities they work in through teaching English, running sports camps, construction projects, offering specific training modules, or anything else within the skill sets the Lord has given them that aids in reaching others for the Lord. Their desire is to allow their national partners dictate what type of help and ministry is needed.

As a bonus, they get to share these things with churches in the US in hopes of inspiring and encouraging Christians to jump on board with what God is doing around the world. And by “jumping on board” they mean by going on short-term missions trips or contributing financially towards these ministries and national partners.

Steve’s Mom and Grandma are both former members of First Baptist Church. Mendi is also a former member, and attended First Baptist in her jr. high and high school years, so they both have long time ties to this church.

To make a one-time gift (love offering) to the Everetts, you may choose “missionary of the month” in the drop-down menu of the ChurchCenter app’s giving option. This option is also available online, here.
Alternatively, you may visit their ABWE giving page.
