Tithes & Offerings

Leader: Jesus does not leave any doubt about what he came to do: He came to die. He tells his disciples repeatedly that this is the case. In fact, by Mark chapter 10, Jesus has already predicted his death twice: first in Mark chapter 8 after Peter had said, “You are the Christ”:

All: 31 [Jesus] then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. 32 He spoke plainly about this…
Leader: Then again in chapter 9:
All: 30 Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, “The Son of Man is going to be betrayed into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise.”
Leader: But just in case the disciples have missed it, Jesus repeats it in chapter 10:
32 They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him.
All: 33 “We are going up to Jerusalem,” he said, “and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.”
Leader: You would think that by this time the disciples would have grasped the reason Jesus had come and the reason he was going to suffer and die. After all, he told them enough times. But in the following story it becomes clear that such is not the case. James and John and the other people following Jesus were hearing for at least the third time about his impending and necessary death. Immediately these two disciples have a request for Jesus:
Women: 35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. “Teacher,” they said, “we want you to do for us whatever we ask.”
Men: 36 “What do you want me to do for you?” he asked.
Women: 37 They replied, “Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory.”
Men: 38 “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said. “Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?”
Leader: The brothers are saying, “When you take power, we would like the top places in your cabinet.” Here’s the irony of their request. What was Jesus’ moment of greatest glory?
All: 39 “We can,” they answered.
Leader: Jesus said to them, “You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared.”
All: 41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.
Leader: 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
"Heart of Worship"

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
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
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
King of endless worth, no one could express,
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor, all I have is Yours,
Every single breath
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
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
I'm sorry, Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You, Jesus
"Amazing Grace I've Been Set Free"

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear,
The hour I first believed!
My chains are gone, I've been set free.
My God, My Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood his mercy reigns.
Un-ending love, amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
My chains are gone, I've been set free.
My God, My Savior has ransomed me.
And like a flood his mercy reigns.
Un-ending love, amazing grac
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be forever mine.
(Will be forever mine)
(You are forever mine)
