Leader - Jesus' resurrection was causing a great stir in Jerusalem.
People - Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. Matthew 28:16 (NIV)
People - Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
Matthew 28:16 (NIV)
Leader - Today there is still a great stir over the Resurrection, and there are still only two choices: to believe that Jesus rose from the dead, or to be closed to the truth—denying it, ignoring it, or trying to explain it away.
People - When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Matthew 28:17 (NIV)
Leader - God gave Jesus authority over heaven and earth. On the basis of that authority, Jesus told his disciples to make more disciples as they preached, baptized, and taught.
People - Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
Matthew 28:18 (NIV)
Leader - With this same authority, Jesus still commands us to tell others the Good News and make them disciples for the Kingdom.
People - Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Matthew 28:19 (NIV)
Leader - We are to go—whether it is next door or to another country—and make disciples. It is not an option but a command to all who call Jesus "Lord."
People - and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
Matthew 28:20 (NIV)
Leader - If we refuse to serve the King faithfully, we are disloyal subjects, fit only to be banished from the Kingdom. We must make Jesus King of our life and worship him as our Savior, King, and Lord.
Some glad morning when this life is o'er,
I'll fly away!
To a home on God's celestial shore:
I'll fly away!
I'll fly away, oh Glory, I'll fly away, When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away!
When the shadows of this life have gone,I'll fly away.
Like a bird from prison bars have flown,I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, oh Glory, I'll fly away, When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away!
Just a few more weary days and then I'll fly away.
To lead on where joys shall never end:I'll fly away.
I'll fly away, oh Glory, I'll fly away, When I die, hallelujah by and by, I'll fly away!
We bow our hearts, we bend our knees
O Spirit come make us humble
We turn our eyes from evil things
O Lord we cast down our idols
CHORUS:
Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts
Let us not lift our souls to another
O God let us be a generation that seeks
that seeks your face O God of Jacob
O God let us be a generation that seeks
that seeks your face O God of Jacob
Message
"The Urgency of God"
Lord, I will lift mine eyes to the hills
Knowing my help is coming from You
Your peace, You give me in time of the storm
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise to you
You are the source of my strength
You are the strength of my life
I lift my hands in total praise to you
Amen
