My Redeemer Lives
O Come To The Altar
We Fall Down

His blood has covered my sin
I believe I believe
My shame He’s taken away
My pain is healed in His name
I believe I believe
Pre-Chorus
I’ll raise a banner
‘Cause my Lord has conquered the grave
Chorus
My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
My Redeemer lives
Bridge
You lift my burdens
I’ll rise with You
I’m dancing on this mountaintop
To see Your kingdom come
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
Bridge
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
We Fall Down
Verse
We fall down
We lay our crowns
At the feet of Jesus
The greatness of mercy and love
At the feet of Jesus
Chorus
And we cry holy holy holy
And we cry holy holy holy
And we cry holy holy holy is the Lamb
See A Victory/What A Beautiful Name
Verse 1
The weapon may be formed but it won’t prosper
When the darkness falls it won’t prevail
‘Cause the God I serve knows only how to triumph
My God will never fail
My God will never fail
Chorus
I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You Lord
I’m gonna see a victory
I’m gonna see a victory
For the battle belongs to You Lord
Verse 2
There is power in the mighty name of Jesus
Every war He wages He will win
I’m not backing down from any giant
I know how this story ends
Yes I know how this story ends
Pre-Chorus
Death could not hold You the veil tore before You
You silenced the boast of sin and grave
The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory
For You are raised to life again
You have no rival You have no equal
Now and forever God You reign
Yours is the Kingdom Yours is the glory
Yours is the Name above all names
Bridge
You take what the enemy meant for evil
And You turn it for good
You turn it for good

To Those Who Overcome: Ephesus
Pastor Tim Walker
1“To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ‘The words of him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands.
2“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false.
3I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name’s sake, and you have not grown weary.
4But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.
5Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.
6Yet this you have: you hate the works of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
7He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers I will grant to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.’

“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.
