Who breaks the power of sin and darkness
Whose love is mighty and so much stronger
The King of Glory the King above all kings

Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder
And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder
The King of Glory the King above all kings
Chorus
(Yeah) (Oh) This is amazing grace
This is unfailing love
That You would take my place
That You would bear my cross
You laid down Your life
That I would be set free
Oh Jesus I sing for all that You’ve done for me
Verse 3
Who brings our chaos back into order
Who makes the orphan a son and daughter
The King of Glory the King of Glory

O Come To The Altar
Verse 1
Are you hurting and broken within
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself
Do you thirst for a drink from the well
Jesus is calling
Chorus
O come to the altar
The Father’s arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ
Verse 2
Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today there’s no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes a new life is born
Jesus is calling

Oh what a Savior
Isn’t he wonderful
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Bow down before him
For he is Lord of all
Sing alleluia Christ is risen
Verse 3
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown
Tell the world of the treasure you’ve found
Great Are You Lord
Verse
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

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

To all who are the tired and the heavy laden
Hope has come

Lift up your eyes lift up your head
The power of our sin is dead

Death is swallowed up in victory
Through the Son
The grave has lost its sting and its grip over me
Yes (‘Cause) He has won
(Yes He has won)
Verse 2
To those who seek the love of a perfect father
Hope has come
To those who see the light of the risen Savior
Hope has come
Lift up your eyes lift up your head
The power of our sin is dead

Sing it louder sing it louder

Sermon Study Guide
Rooted Desires
Pastor Isaac Terry
28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
Matthew 11:28 ESV
As we leave on mission…
What must I do in response?
How does this truth apply to my life?
Personally?
As the church?
In my community?
What steps do I need to take to apply this?
(Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-based Goals)
To whom will I be accountable?
(reach out and ask… follow up)
The Christian life is designed to be transferred relationally and journeyed together. You need to “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
Juan Marcos and Raquel Jean
World Reach: Birmingham, AL
Juan Carlos and Raquel Jean serve with World Reach, Inc., a missions organization based out of Birmingham, Alabama. There are 27 families serving abroad as missionaries with World Reach. Of those families, 20 use Spanish as the language of their home. They are serving in Honduras, El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Argentina, Romania and in the Balkan Region. For these missionaries their first culture is a Latino culture with Spanish as their first language. It is Juan and Raquel’s job to liaison between these missionaries and the home office. They help with simple jobs like translating prayer letters and ministry reports, but also through the more weighty and difficult task of translating culture and expectations. What has proven to be invaluable is participating in ministry alongside their Hispanic missionaries. Traveling to the countries where they serve, Juan and Raquel are able to understand at a deeper level what their life and ministry is like, and therefore know how to better serve them. Their goal is to offer missionary care to the Hispanic missionaries so that they are able to serve where God has called them and not feel so isolated and alone.
The other side of their ministry is Juan being heavily involved in the Mobile Bible Institute. World Reach has Bible Institutes in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia. A team of missionaries is currently working on a project to reconceptualize the classes and teaching methods. These courses are mainly for Pastors and leaders of local congregations. Each country is different, each with unique needs and contexts. The goal is to have courses that will minister to these pastors where they have the greatest need and produce men and women who walk with God and are able to address the needs of their church and community as Jesus calls us to do.
Juan Carlos and Raquel Jean are thankful for how God has used their life in missions to teach them. What they have learned has brought them to where they are today and has given them the tools they need to serve within World Reach at this time.
Prayer Requests:
- Please pray for unity and wisdom as we coordinate our seven teams in four countries.
- Pray for the Lord’s leading for travel plans as we start to make them but there is still uncertainty because of covid.
