["Pomp and Circumstance"]
["Glory to His Name"]
Heavenly Father, we just thank you again for another day to gather freely in your name,
to sing praises unto you, and to hear preaching from your timeless word.
Lord, I just pray that today you'd be with us for the song service,
that you'd incline your ear to us as we lift up your name in praise.
I pray that you'd be with Brother Dylan, fill in with your spirit,
and open our ears to the message that you've laid on his heart today, Lord.
And also, if you just would this evening, as many are traveling back home,
just keep us safe with the uncertain weather that's coming in.
These things we pray in Jesus' name, Amen.
All right, for our next hymn this morning, turn, if you would, to hymn number 13.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone?
Hymn number 13, 1-3.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone? Hymn 13.
We'll sing there, starting on the verse.
Must Jesus bear the cross alone?
And all the world go free?
No, there's a cross for everyone,
And there's a price for me.
The consecrated cross I'll bear,
Till death shall set me free.
And then go home, my crown to bear,
For there's a crown for me.
Upon the crystal pavement,
Down at Jesus' fearsome feet,
Joyful I'll cast my golden crown,
And his dear name repeat.
O precious cross, O glorious crown,
O resurrection day,
The angels from the stars come down,
And bear my soul away.
Amen.
All right, welcome everyone to Steadfast Baptist Church this morning.
If you need a bulletin, raise your hand.
We'll come around and get it to you.
We are in the process of printing those off.
We had an issue with the printer this morning.
So if you want to just keep your hand up,
and we will come around and get that to you.
On the front of the bulletin, we have our new chapter that we're starting,
2 Timothy chapter number 2.
So I encourage all those.
This is a clean slate to get involved in memorization throughout the week,
and there will of course be a prize at the end of that chapter
for those who are able to quote that to a non-family member.
Also on the inside, we have service time, soul winning times listed there,
as well as our nursing home ministry,
and then our month to date, year to date stats below that.
Also we want to be in prayer for our expecting ladies.
Ms. Emma Ward is due any minute, right?
So definitely keep them in your thoughts.
Also the Scott family and the Furr family.
And then our next fifth Sunday fellowship is March 10th,
and we'll get a theme for that ready for everyone,
so that way you can be preparing for that.
Of course we have Brother Oz and his family here this morning.
Great to have him here, and he's going to be preaching for us
both in the morning and evening service,
and so definitely get around to greet them.
And then February 24th is going to be a ladies event,
and that's going to be at the House of Clay.
You guys are going to be doing some ceramic painting.
And so I know for you ladies that is going to be a lot of fun.
That is nurselings only preferred, so please be aware of that.
Husbands, fathers, help your wife out with watching the children for that.
And then we do have a homeschool field trip on March 18th,
and that's going to be to the Cowboy Hall of Fame.
We've not been there yet as a church group.
Somewhere I went as a child, and I'm sure if you grew up in Oklahoma,
you probably had some type of a field trip there as well.
It's a great place for just learning history about Oklahoma,
and I encourage all of you to sign up for that.
Also, just before I keep going on, there is a ladies sign-up sheet.
So on the back table for the ladies event,
please make sure you get signed up for that
so we know exactly how many people are going to be attending.
And then as we get closer to March 18th,
we'll have a sign-up sheet for that as well.
March 30th will be our next soul-winning marathon.
That's Easter weekend, and that will be a local marathon
that we'll be doing here in the metro in Oklahoma City.
And so I encourage you to participate with that.
Also, one quick note, we have the giving statements for 2023 available.
So if you have not gotten yours, please let me know,
and I can get that to you.
And I can print that off after the sermon or after the service
and get that to you.
I feel like there was one other thing that I am not thinking of right this second.
Oh, I know what it was.
Pictures.
So directly after the service this morning,
we're going to be doing pictures.
We don't necessarily have any structured method of doing that at this moment.
If you would like to stay after, directly after service
and get your picture taken, can you just give me a raise of hand
if you'd like to get that done right after the service?
Okay, so I think we have plenty enough that...
