NEW LADIES BREAKOUT SESSION – COMING NEXT WEEK 1/8/23

Introducing a new Breakout Session for Ladies coming NEXT WEEK: Living a Life of True Worship.

Study Description:
How does one worship a Holy God? Is there a longing within you to worship God in spirit and in truth? To know that you have approached a holy God through your reasonable service of worship?

We all worship someone, something–and our worship takes many forms. But according to God, if your worship is to be true worship it must be His way. God said, “By those who come near Me, I will be treated as holy, and before all the people I will be honored.”

How…when…where does man worship God in spirit and in truth? This is what you will discover for yourself as we study and discuss together what God says about all those who would come near to Him.
In this 40 minute-per-session Bible study we will investigate powerful Biblical truth on the important issue of worshiping a holy God. Each lesson is designed to draw you into God’s Word through basic inductive Bible study. No homework is required, so everyone in the group can work through the lesson together at the same time. Join one of the worlds’ most respected Bible teachers, Kay Arthur, in a study that will revolutionize your thinking –and your life.
 
When and Where:
Please join this Breakout Session on Sundays at 11:00 AM beginning on January 8 in Room 307. This is a large room with plenty of seating! This Breakout Session is for ladies age 16 and older, and it is 6 weeks long. We may not meet every week due to our leader’s travel schedule, but these dates will be updated and posted as soon as we know the schedule.
 
Church App Group:
We ask that you please join the Breakout Session group! This will help leaders know how many people plan to come. This will also enable you to receive reminders for each session, message other session attendees, and have access to group resources. After you join this group, you can visit the resources tab to find a link to the book.
 
Books:
If you have not yet purchased a book, please get one before you come! This study does not have homework, we will do the study together in class. Please contact Stacy Mouat if you have any questions about the Breakout Session or finding a book. Join this Breakout Session group in the ChurchCenter App: Home> Connect> Groups or by clicking here.

We can’t wait to see you there!

God So Loved

Verse 1

Come all you weary
Come all you thirsty
Come to the well that never runs dry
Drink of the water
Come and thirst no more

Verse 2

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 3

Bring all your failures
Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross
Jesus is waiting there
With open arms

Chorus 2

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 loved God so loved the world

Bridge

Praise God praise God
From whom all blessings flow
Praise Him praise Him
For the wonders of His love

Chorus 3

For God so loved the world that He gave us
His one and only Son to save

Bring your addictions
Come lay them down at the foot of the cross

Healer

Verse 1

You said if we believe
Then greater things would come
So pour Your Spirit out
Like a river like a flood

Deliver every heart
Body soul and mind
All the darkness bows
Before the feet of Christ

Chorus

The Healer’s in this place
The Healer’s in this place
Jesus You are moving in our praise

There’s freedom in Your name
There’s freedom in Your name
Jesus You are Healer in this place

Verse 2

You said if we believe
We would see Your kingdom come
So pour Your Spirit out
Come and let Your will be done

You’ve defeated death
And You remain our living hope
We believe Your Word
You’re the God of miracles

Bridge

Let the blind see all Your glory
Let the dead rise testifying
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
Let the mourning turn to dancing
Fear is silenced in our praising
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus

Ending

There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus

Who You Say I Am

Verse 1

Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me

Chorus 1

Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am

Verse 2

Free at last
He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me

Chorus 2

In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am

I am chosen not forsaken
I am who You say I am

I am who You say I am

You lead us by still waters into mercy
And nothing can keep us apart

(So) remember Your people
Remember Your children
Remember Your promise O God

Chorus 1

Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough
Your grace is enough for me

Verse 2

Great is Your love and justice God of Jacob
You use the weak to lead the strong
You lead us in the song of Your salvation
And all Your people sing along

Chorus 2

Yeah Your grace is enough
Heaven reaches out to us
Your grace is enough for me
God I sing Your grace is enough
I’m covered in Your love
Your grace is enough for me for me
