Opening Hymn: Let faith arise by Bridge City;
Verse]
Knock; and the doors will open
Speak; and the mountains will move
Anything we ask God, God can do
Believe; in the One who freed us
Trust; in the One who hears us
‘Cause anything we ask God, God can do
[Chorus]
Let faith arise, let faith arise
God is on our side, God is on our side
We’ll overcome, the battle’s won
Our Saviour King, our victory
[Verse]
Knock; and the doors will open
Speak; and the mountains will move
Anything we ask God, God can do
Believe; in the One who freed us
Trust; in the One who hears us
‘Cause anything we ask God, God can do
[Chorus]
Let faith arise, let faith arise
God is on our side, God is on our side
We’ll overcome, the battle’s won
Our Saviour King, our victory
[Bridge]
God is with us
He is for us
Faithful is our God
God is with us
He is for us
Faithful is our God
God is with us
He is for us
Faithful is our God
Appostle Paul wrote the book of Romans as a letter to a church in Rome. Many believers were given a lot of encouragement after reading it. Paul declared the Gospel as Our Heavenly Father’s power and salvation given to the people who believe in him. Our Heavenly Father wishes his people to repent of any wrong doing that was done and remember to always love one another and not judge each other. The appostle Paul states how in the eyes of Our Heavenly Father no person that just follows a law is righteous. The only way to receive being righteous is to accept Jesus Christ as Our Lord and Savior and turn away from sin. Abraham was declared righteous because he had a strong faith. He received the promise through the righteousness of faith. (13-22) And we are justified in the same way of believing. (23-25). Paul wrote this book in Corinth while on a trip visiting a church in Rome.
James mentions where Our Heavenly Father talks about how his children who are very strong in faith will grow strong within him. Trials and hard times in life help us draw closer to Our Heavenly Father. According to James, faith is demonstrated through one’s actions. It is not enough to claim to simply believe in Jesus, but it is important to follow up your words with actions.
Fact corner;
We want you to remember that Jesus died for us, and you should believe in him. Jesus will be your savior as long as you believe in him. He will be your mediator between the Heavenly Father and you. He did it for everyone, even people not yet born or thought of.
Closing Hymn; You Lead by Jamie Grace
I’ve got waves that are tossin’ me,
Crashin’ all over my beliefs,
And in all sincerity, Lord,
I wanna be yours,
So pull me out of this mess I’m in,
‘Cause I know I’m wanderin’
Lead my soul back home again,
I’ve always been yours,
And this world may push, may pull,
But your love it never fails,
You lead, I’ll follow,
Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace,
You know the way,
You guide me tenderly,
When you lead, I’ll follow,
Just light the way and I’ll go,
‘Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,
As a child I heard your voice,
But as a girl I made my choice,
There is no other way for me,
I’m devoted to you,
You’re my peace on the heavy days,
You’re the warmth of an autumn blaze,
Your love carries me away,
And it’s never too soon, no.
And this world may push, may pull,
But your mercy never fails,
You lead, I’ll follow,
Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace,
You know the way,
You guide me tenderly, yeah,
When you lead, I’ll follow,
Just light the way and I’ll go,
‘Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on, on, on and on,
Just lead me on, on, on and on,
Sometimes when I wake up,
I don’t wanna rise up
Out of my bed,
Too many thoughts in my head,
Don’t wanna be who I used to be,
Gonna take the back seat and let you lead,
And I need to stop, need to stop,
‘Cause I’m going too fast,
And I know my God is still God,
And you got my back,
You lead, I’ll follow,
Your hands hold my tomorrow,
Your grip, Your grace,
You know the way,
You guide me tenderly, yeah,
When you lead, I’ll follow,
Just light the way and I’ll go,
‘Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see,
So lead me on.
Lead me on.
