BURNING IN MY SOUL

Verse 1
There is power power
Here in this hour this hour
We’re all together together
Waiting here as one

Whoa hear the sound from Heaven
Whoa a mighty rushing wind
Whoa we’re calling for revival
God let Your fire fall again
It’s burning in my soul
Burning in my soul

Verse 2
All Your sons and Your daughters
Dreaming the dreams of their Father
Seeing the signs and the wonders
The Kingdom of God

Bridge
I cannot contain it
This fire inside
I cannot contain it
So let it shine
I cannot contain it
This light of mine

Chorus 2
It’s burning in my soul
Hear the sound from Heaven
Whoa a mighty rushing wind
Whoa we’re calling for revival
God let Your fire fall again

Interlude
It’s burning in my soul
Burning in my soul
It’s burning in my soul
Whoa

Waiting here as one

ONLY KING FOREVER

Verse 1
Our God, a firm foundation
Our rock, the only solid ground
As nations rise and fall
Kingdoms once strong now shaken
But we trust forever in your name
The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

Chorus
You are the only King forever
Almighty God we lift you higher
You are the only King forever
Forevermore, you are victorious

Verse 2
Unmatched in all your wisdom
In love and justice you will reign
Every knee will bow
We bring our expectations
Our hope is anchored in your name
The name of Jesus
We trust the name of Jesus

Bridge
We lift our banner high
We lift the name of Jesus
From age to age you reign
Your kingdom has no end

SERMON NOTES with SCRIPTURE

SERMON TITLE: Ministry to Others
PASSAGE: Romans 15:14-22

The Problem: We lose sight of the big picture.

__________

Romans 15:14-16 (NIV)

¹⁴ I myself am convinced, my brothers and sisters, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with knowledge and competent to instruct one another. ¹⁵ Yet I have written you quite boldly on some points to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me ¹⁶ to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles. He gave me the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

Main Point: Something Bigger is Going on. (vv. 14-16)

__________

Greek:
agathōsynē: Uprightness, kindness and generosity towards others.

Question:
Am I too close to the trees to see the forest?

__________

Romans 15:17-20 (NIV)

¹⁷ Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. ¹⁸ I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— ¹⁹ by the power of signs and wonders, through the power of the Spirit of God. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. ²⁰ It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else’s foundation.

Observation 1: Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. (vv. 17-20)

__________

Paul is heavily relying on the power of God to see people walk in relationship with Jesus.

__________

Question:
How is God speaking to you right now?

__________

Romans 15:21 (NIV)

²¹ Rather, as it is written:

“Those who were not told about him will see,
and those who have not heard will understand.”

Observation 2: There are people who haven’t heard about Jesus. (v. 21)

__________

Question:
Are you willing to help people who have never heard about Jesus…hear about Jesus for the first time?

__________

Romans 15:22 (NIV)

²² This is why I have often been hindered from coming to you.

The Challenge: Be and stay on mission with Jesus. (v. 22)

__________

Question:
Are you on mission with Jesus?

WE BELIEVE

Verse 1
In this time of desperation
When all we know is doubt and fear
There is only one foundation
We believe we believe
In this broken generation
When all is dark You help us see
There is only one salvation
We believe we believe

Chorus
We believe in God the Father
We believe in Jesus Christ
We believe in the Holy Spirit
And He’s given us new life
We believe in the crucifixion
We believe that He conquered death
We believe in the resurrection
And He’s coming back again
(We believe)

Verse 2
So let our faith be more than anthems
Greater than the songs we sing
In our weakness and temptations
We believe we believe

Bridge
Let the lost be found and the dead be raised
In the here and now let love invade
Let the church live loud our God will save
We believe we believe
And the gates of hell will not prevail
For the pow’r of God has torn the veil
Now we know Your love will never fail
We believe we believe

Ending
He’s coming back again
He’s coming back again
We believe we believe

WHO YOU SAY I AM

Verse 1
Who am I that the highest King
Would welcome me
I was lost but He brought me in
Oh His love for me
Oh His love for me

Chorus 1

Who the Son sets free
Oh is free indeed
I’m a child of God
Yes I am

Verse 2
Free at last
He has ransomed me
His grace runs deep
While I was a slave to sin
Jesus died for me
Yes He died for me

Chorus 2
In my Father’s house
There’s a place for me
I’m a child of God
Yes I am

Bridge
I am chosen not forsaken
I am who You say I am
You are for me not against me
I am who You say I am

Tag
I am who You say I am
