Good evening everyone!
Welcome to First Works Baptist Church!
Let's all find our seats.
As you find your seats, go ahead and grab a song sheet.
If you don't have one,
raise your hand. One of the ushers should be able to get you one.
Our first song,
Keep on the Firing Line.
Let's all stand together for this first song.
If you're able, keep on the firing line.
Keep on the firing line, all together nice and strong on that first verse.

Keep on the firing line
There are many dangers that we all must face
If we die of fighting in his no disgrace
Coward in the service he will find no place
So keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave, against all evil
Never run, nor leave lag behind
If you would win for God and the right
Just keep on the firing line
If God will only use a soldier he can trust
Keep on the firing line
If you wear a crown and bear the cross you must
Keep on the firing line
For the master dear
Help to vanish evil and to spread good cheer
Great should be rewarded for your service here
So keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave, against all evil
Never run, nor leave lag behind
If you would win for God and the right
Just keep on the firing line
When we get to heaven, brother, we'll be glad
Keep on the firing line
Out we'll praise the savior for the call we had
Keep on the firing line
When we see the souls that we have held to win
Leading them to Jesus from the paths of sin
With a shout of welcome we will all march in
Keep on the firing line
You must fight, be brave, against all evil
Never run, nor leave lag behind
If you would win for God and the right
Just keep on the firing line
Amen. Wonderful singing. Let's start off our service with a word of prayer.
Lord God, Heavenly Father, I thank you for giving us this day
to come to your house and I thank you for every precious soul here in this building tonight
I ask that you please bless the service tonight, Lord. I ask that you please bless the singing
and I thank you also, Lord, for giving this opportunity
to us to hear your word preached and I thank you for giving us
the Bible, Lord, and your word and a pastor who is willing to show us the truth
no matter what people may be offended by
and I thank you for the souls that were saved this afternoon and I ask that you please just bless the service tonight
Lord, bless every aspect of it. I feel the pastor may heal with your spirit as he preaches
and give us ears to hear, Lord, that we may leave here changed. In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
You may be seated.
Go ahead and turn your songbooks to song number 377
Song number 377, Rescue the Perishing
Song number 377 is our second song
all together on that first verse
All together on that first verse
Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save
Down in the human heart crushed by the tempter
Feelings lie buried that grace can be sown
Touched by our loving heart
Waken by kindness chords that are broken
Blue-fried windows form, rescue the perishing
Care for the dying, Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save
Rescue the perishing, duty demands it
Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide
Back to the narrow way, they should be with them
Tell the poor one where a Savior has died
Rescue the perishing, care for the dying
Jesus is merciful
Jesus will save
Alright great singing, thank you for being here this evening
Just a few announcements here before we sing our next song
Which will be song number 325, Trust and Obey

On soul winning, let's sing our next song, 325
Trust and obey song number 325
Song number 325
Trust and obey, all together on that first verse
When we walk with the Lord
In the light of His word
What a glory He sheds
On our way
While we do His good will
He abides with us still
And with all who will trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a shadow can rise
Not a cloud in the skies
But His smile quickly drives it away
But the power of fear
Not a sign or a tear
Can abide while we trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Not a burden we bear
Not a sorrow we share
But our toil He doth richly
Repain
Not a grief nor a loss
Not a frown nor a cry
But to trust and obey
Not a mountain nor a cross
But is blessed if we trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar
We lay
For the favor He shows
And the joy He bestows
Are for them who will trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust and obey
Then in fellowship suite
We will sit at His feet
Or we'll walk by His side
In the way
What He says we will do
Where He says we will go
Never fear, only trust and obey
Trust and obey
For there's no other way
To be happy in Jesus
But to trust
and obey
Amen, wonderful singing, at this time the ushers will come forward to collect the offering
