First works Baptist Church, go ahead and please stand with me.
As we sing our handout, this world is not my home.
The handout, this world is not my home. If you do not have the handout, go ahead and raise
your hand, the ushers will get one to you. The handout, this world is not
my home. On the first verse.
This world is not my home, I'm
just a passing through. My treasures are laid out
somewhere beyond the blue. The angels
beckon me from heaven's open door and I
can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know I have no
friend like you. If heaven is not my home
then Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door and I
can't feel at home in this world anymore.
They're all expecting me and that's one
thing I know. Christ's Savior's pardoned me
and now I onward go. I know He'll take me
through though I am weak and poor and I
can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend
like you. If heaven is not my home then
Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me
from heaven's open door and I
can't feel at home in this world anymore.
I have a loving Savior
up in glory land. I don't expect to stop
until I'm with Him stand. He's waiting now
for me in heaven's open door and I
can't feel at home in this world anymore.
Oh Lord, you know I have
no friend like you. If heaven is not my home
then Lord what will I do? The angels
beckon me from heaven's open door
and I can't feel at home in this world
anymore the last. Just up in glory land
we'll live eternally. The saints
on every hand are shouting victory.
The songs of sweetest praise drift back from
heaven's shore and I can't feel at home in
this world anymore. Oh Lord, you
know I have no friend like you. If
heaven is not my home then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from heaven's
open door and I can't feel at home
in this world anymore.

Thank you for being here this evening. Welcome to First Works Baptist Church. Just a few announcements
here before we sing our next song, which will be 324.
If you want to get that ready in your songbooks, 324, Draw Me Near.
Just a few announcements here. Of course, our Sunday morning service is at 10 30.
Sunday evening is at 5 p.m. And then we have our Thursday night Bible study at 7 o'clock.
And again, happy birthday to you all in the month of August.
Hope you enjoyed those donuts there. And then we added some more soul
winning times. You can review them at your discretion. Of course, tomorrow
is the TJ soul winning. We're going to be meeting here at the building at
9 a.m. and then head over to TJ. And so if you'd like
to participate in that, you're welcome to. But you do have to speak Spanish.
Okay, and so you can see brother Ulysses Hernandez for more details about
that. Lord willing, we'll make some more trips to TJ in the coming months.
And so that's the goal being prayer over us that we would get a lot of people saved
tomorrow. And so that'll be tomorrow. And then hold fast. Soul winning marathon is coming up
on Saturday, August 12th. And the church van will
be leaving the building. If you want to go, it'll be leaving the building on Saturday
at 5 a.m. Brother Glenn is going to be in charge of that. So if you want some details
on that, you can see him. The preaching begins at 10 a.m.
Pastor Aaron Thompson will be there giving a challenge, a soul winning challenge. And then
the soul winning will begin thereafter. And so hope to see you there. Ladies
prayer breakfast is on Saturday, August 12th. Mr. Gonzalez
heads that up and so you can see her for more details. And I mentioned this this morning.
But if you can please, of course, pray for Miss Olivia Lee.
Let me read this again. This is due to the health issues that are dangerous
to both Olivia and the baby. Miss Olivia Lee is scheduled for a C-section
on Friday. The baby will only be 32 weeks and will have an extended
stay in the NICU. We would like to be a blessing by providing gift cards
or monetary gifts that they can use while Olivia and the baby are recovering.
Please talk to Miss Tamara Brash to sign up via meal train
dot com. And so please pray for them. Pray for Brother John and Miss Olivia.
I know this is a difficult time for them. But also if you can, please be a blessing to them.
And see Miss Tamara so we can help them out with that. And then
of course the regular reminders. No food or drink allowed in a main auditorium.
Please make sure you silence your phones during the preaching so as to not be a distraction
during the service. Let's go ahead and take some soul knee numbers from this past week.
Salvations from Monday to Thursday. Any salvations from Monday to Thursday?
We got four over here. Anybody else? How about Friday and Saturday? Salvations
for Friday and Saturday. One right over here. One right over there. Anybody else?
Yes. One. Okay. How about this afternoon? Salvations for this afternoon.
One for Brother Marcus' team. Two for Brother Cody's. One for Brother Hikes
team. One for Brother Morrie's team. Two for Brother Glenn's team.
And we got one for Brother Elise's team. Did we miss anybody else? Okay. Keep up the
great work. Let's go ahead and sing our next song. 324, Draw Me
Nearer.
Song number 324, Draw Me Nearer.
Song number 324.
I am thine
O Lord, I have heard thy voice
and it told thy love to
me. But I long to
rise in the arms of faith
and be closer drawn to thee.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord
to the cross where thou hast died.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord
to thy precious
pleading sign.
Consecrate me now to thy
service Lord by the power of
grace divine. Let my
soul look up with a steadfast hope
and my will be lost
in thine. Draw me
nearer nearer blessed
Lord to the cross where thou
hast died. Draw me
nearer nearer blessed
Lord to thy
precious pleading sign.
Hold the pure delight
of a single out
that before thy throne I
send. When I kneel in
prayer and with thee my God
I can lose friend with friend.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord to the
cross where thou hast died.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord
to thy precious
pleading sign. On the last
days there are depths of love that
I cannot know till I cross
the narrow sea.
There are heights of joy that
I may not reach till I rest
in peace with thee.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord to the cross
where thou hast died.
Draw me nearer
nearer blessed Lord
to thy precious
pleading sign.
Great singing. As the ushers come forth for the offering please turn your Bibles to
Matthew chapter 15.
