["In the Hall of the Mountain King"]
Good evening and welcome to Verity Baptist Church.
Let's go ahead and find our seats this evening.
Find the seats and find a hymnal close to you
and turn to page number 65.
Song number 65.
We'll open the service with just over
in the glory land, song number 65.
Let's go ahead and sing it out,
song number 65 on the first.
I'm a home prepared where the saints abide
Just over in the glory land
And I long to be by my Savior's side
Just over in the glory land
I'll join the happy angel band
Just over in the glory land
The mighty folks I'll stand
Just over in the glory land
Song number 65 on the second.
I am on my way to those mansions fair
Just over in the glory land
Fair to sing God's praise and His glory share
Just over in the glory land
I'll join the happy angel band
Just over in the glory land
There with the mighty host I'll stand
Just over in the glory land
Sing it out on the third.
What a joyful thought that my Lord shall see
Just over in the glory land
And with kindred say there will ever be
Just over in the glory land
I'll join the happy angel band
Just over in the glory land
With the mighty host I'll stand
Just over in the glory land
Sing it out on the last.
With the black heart strong I will shout and sing
Just over in the glory land
That Hosanna soon cries the Lord and King
Just over in the glory land
The happy angel band
Just over in the glory land
There with the mighty host I'll stand
Just over in the glory land
We'll sing a stanza from the song that you picked. Go ahead Emily.
144.
James said no. Do you have another one?
145. There you go.
Song number 1
4-5 on the first.
When peace like a river
Endeth my way
When sorrows like sea
Billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well
With my soul
It is well, it is well
With my soul
Um, Noah, go ahead.
169.
Come thou fount of every blessing.
169 on the first.
Come thou fount of every blessing
To my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
But for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some my Lord is shining
Some by flaming tongues of blood
I am fixed upon it, not to die
Reaching in blood
Um, Mr. Siye,
316? 216.
You said on the last? On the first.
Song number 216 on the first. We're going to skip that last tag as well.
Song number 216 on the first.
That was the end of one dream
In the cold night of sin I did roam
When Jesus, the
kind shepherd, found me
And now I am on my way home
Surely good the
sinner too fell far away
For the days, all the days of my life
Surely good the sinner too
fell far away
For the days of my life
Go ahead. I can't remember your name.
448.
Song 448.
To worship. Song 448 on the first.
Brethren we have met
To worship and adore the
Lord our God
Will you pray with all your power
While we try to reach the word
All in Spain, unquest the spirit
Of the holy one from town
Brethren, pray the holy man
And I will be shallowed all around
Uh, go ahead.
Song number 143. This will be the last song
for our favorites. Let's end it with 143.
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Sing it out on the first.
Pray for all that live on
This is my story, this is my song
Is it the sinner
All the day long. Amen. Great singing.
Amen. Alright, well let's take our bulletins tonight.
We'll look at some announcements real quickly. If you do not have a bulletin
just raise your hand and one of our ushers can get one for you.
If you need a bulletin just put your hand up and we will get one for you. The verse this week
Proverbs 21, 23. Who so keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his
soul from troubles. And that's a good verse there. We like that.
If you open up your bulletin you'll see our service time Sunday morning service 10.30 am.
We had a wonderful service this morning. We're glad you're back out of course for the evening service tonight.
And we do invite you to be with us on Wednesday night for the midweek Bible study.
If you look at our sowing times, our main sowing times on Saturday mornings at 10 am
and then we have additional sowing times on Thursdays, Fridays and Sundays at 2 pm. If you are
a sowinger don't forget to add your salvations on the communication
card so we can add those to the bulletin. If you have a map that you did not
finish clearly mark what was done, what was not done and put it in the bin in the foyer so we can
get that recycled through and get it done. And if you're
running late you can call us or text us there at the number 916-868-9080
Let us know your plan on being there but you're running late. That way
our team captains can make sure they have a partner and a map and anything
you need. If you are a first time guest, if it's your
first time here at Verity Baptist Church we're glad you're with us. We have a gift we'd like to give you
as you walk out of the church building tonight. If you go out our main foyer or out our
secondary foyer you'll see a little table set up and on that table you'll see these
little gift bags. Please make sure you grab one on your way out as a
gift from us to you for being our guest tonight. There are several resources in this
bag that we'd like you to have but the one I like to highlight is this documentary that our church
made. It's called Being Baptist and it's very well made, very interesting. We think you'll like it
and want to give this to you as a gift so please make sure you don't leave here tonight without grabbing one of these gift bags
and if you are a guest we'd ask that you please take a moment and fill out
the communication card which is inserted in your bulletin. If you need a pen
just raise your hand and one of our ushers can bring you by a Verity Baptist Church
pen. You're welcome to keep the pen as a gift from us as well and we'd like
to send you a little gift and we'd like to have a record of your attendance but we need your info to do that so
please take a moment to fill the card out. When we're done with the announcements we're going to sing a song. When we're done
singing we're going to receive the offering and as the offering goes by you can drop this card in
the offering plate. If you look at the announcements there of course we are a family
integrated church. Children and infants are always welcome in the service. We don't separate children
from their parents for any reason. If you need to be baptized please let us know. We'd love to baptize
you. The baptistry is filled, the water is warm and you can let us know on your communication
card that you'd like to speak to somebody about that. If you look at the announcements and upcoming
events of course we've got our sermon series that we're going through
on Sunday morning's judgment, Sunday night declaring doctrine and then
the book of Amos on Wednesday night and then the
big announcements of the big event that we have coming up is the next generation
youth rally. That's March 7th through the 8th
and we've been preparing for this and there's a lot of work that has gone into
it and this week we're one week away. This week just pray for us
because we're probably going to be working around the clock just to kind of get
everything where it needs to be so we would appreciate
your help any way that you can. A couple of things
the way that you could help if you'd like to help is to sign up
for the Cookie Fellowship on both Tuesday night and Wednesday night after the services we're having
a Cookie Fellowship and we've got clipboards in the foyer.
You can sign up to bake cookies or buy cookies, bring cookies
and we'll enjoy those after the evening services. I want to make sure that our
church family knows that everyone is invited for the evening
services so there are events all day long on both Tuesday
and Wednesday. Obviously most of that is for the teens. It is a conference for teens
but on the evening services
everyone is invited to come and we want to encourage you to be here.
Of course Pastor Anderson from Faith Forward Baptist Church in Tempe Arizona is going to be preaching for us on Tuesday night
March 7th and then I'll be preaching on Wednesday night March 8th
and the services start at 7pm so
just get here, be here and I guess the advice that I would give you
I feel like a lot of people, maybe people in our church or people in our movement
I've never really experienced a youth rally or a youth conference but just
get on board alright so the services are not going to be like a normal
church service. They're going to be geared for the kids. We're going to have a lot of games and competition
a lot of fun and preaching for the teens
but just be excited and we're going to have teams competing
and different games so make sure you're cheering for them and all of that.
There have been questions about the wrestling shows. There's going to be a wrestling show
after the services, both evening services
we're going to have a ring set up in the fellowship hall
for the wrestling show and the church family is invited to stick around for that
but obviously the priority is for the kids, the kids that have registered
for the conference and the delegates that are coming
we have people coming from different states and all of that so in the fellowship hall
we're going to have the ring set up and there'll be seats
we just want to make sure the kids get a good seat but I'm sure we'll have enough seats
for everybody or you can stand up in the back if you'd like. We're going to be
open up the roll up doors and have chairs outside so we'll make it work
and you're welcome to stick around for that but it's going to be a great event
and if it seems like I'm not being that excited about it
it's just because I'm very tired because we are staying up late
and working on stuff and getting things ready but please be in prayer
and be praying for our church family too. We've got so many families that are out
sick right now and just pray that they can all be in the back
and just pray that they can all be better by March 7th and make sure we have a good showing
for the conference and that we can get everything
done well. So if you look at the announcements there
we have a baby shower for Ms. Skylar Thompson
on Saturday March 18th at 3pm and Ms. Skylar is having a girl
she's registered on Amazon and is a potluck so if you can please bring a dish to share
if you'd like to attend you can sign up on your communication card and then we have the vision offering
coming up on Sunday March 26th. I'm not going to go through the whole card
but I do want you to be aware that there's a card in your bulletin about our vision offering
and I'd love for you to just go through it read it and this is a special
offering we take every spring and if you would just pray about
participating we would appreciate that. Nine chapters a day go by and check for your name
if you've not done that yet. BBC choir they started practice today
homeschool group they've got a PE class this Thursday
March 2nd at 10am and then there's other things there for you to look at
please don't forget to turn your cell phones off or place them on silent during the service
they're not a distraction to anybody. If you look at the back of the bulletin birthdays and anniversaries
for the month of February we have Elijah Usher's birthday is
tomorrow February 27th. Ms. Julissa Zuniga has a birthday
on February 28th. Brother Mike and Ms. Blanca Beale have an anniversary
on February 28th. Valente and Ms. Nicole Perez have an
anniversary on February 28th and Ms. Denise Anderson has a birthday
on March 4th. Praise report money matters all those things are there
for you to look at and I think that's it for all of the announcements so let's go ahead and take our
song books and we're going to go to page number 27
page number 27 and we're going to sing
the old rugged cross as we prepare
to receive the offering tonight. Page number 27
page number 27 the old rugged cross
let's go ahead and sing it out on the first
on a hill far away
to an old rugged cross
the emblem of suffering
and shame
and I love that old cross
and fast the world of was
sinners was swaying
so I'll cherish
the old rugged cross
I told you
at last I lay down
I will lead you to the old
rugged cross
and exchange it someday
for a crown
page number 27 let's go ahead and sing it out on the second
I realize it's Sunday night you're probably tired I'm tired but it's about the
cross so let's sing it out with some passion on the second
oh that old rugged cross
so despised by the world
and wondrous attraction
for you
for the near lamb of God
let his glory above
you bear it in thy
glory
so I'll cherish the old rugged
cross
till my trophies at last I
lay down
I will cling to the old rugged
cross
and exchange it someday for
a crown
in the old rugged
cross
a wondrous
view
what was on that old cross
was a summer and night
to find it and sanctify
me
so I'll cherish the old rugged
cross
till my trophies at last I
lay down
I will cling to the old rugged
cross
and exchange it someday for
a crown
to the old rugged cross
I will never be true
if shame and greed
grows widely bare
we'll call them someday
to thy home far away
where in glory forever
I'll share
so I'll cherish the old rugged
cross
till my trophies at last I
lay down
I will cling to the old rugged
cross
and exchange it someday for
a crown
Amen, good singing, we'll have the guys come up
and help us with the offering at this time and let's go ahead and bow our heads
to the Bible to prayer. Heavenly Father, Lord, we do ask that you bless the offering
the gift and the giver. Lord, we ask that you meet with us tonight as we
take some time to study the Bible together. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
