In your blues song book
Stand up stand up for Jesus
Music
Song 491 in your blues hymn book
Let's sing it together on the first
Stand up stand up for Jesus
He's soldiers of the cross
Lift high his royal banner
It must not suffer loss
From victory unto victory
His army shall he lead
Till every foe is vanquished
And Christ is Lord indeed
Stand up stand up for Jesus
The trumpet call obey
Forth to the mighty conflict
In this his glorious day
Ye that are men now serve him
Against a numbered post
Let courage rise with danger
And strength to strength oppose
Stand up stand up for Jesus
Stand in his strength alone
The arm of flesh will fail you
He dare not trust your own
Put on the gospel armor
Each piece put on with prayer
Where ever you go
Put on the gospel armor
Each piece put on with prayer
Where duty calls or danger
Be never wanting there
Hey man brother Sean could you help us up with a prayer
Amen
Amen our second song
will be song number 487 Faith is the Victory
Song number 487 in your blues song books
Faith is the Victory
Song 487 let's sing it together on the first
Tempt along the hills of light
Ye Christian soldiers rise
And press the battle air
The night shall veil the glowing skies
Against the foe in veils below
Let all our strength be hurled
Faith is the victory we know
Overcomes the world
Faith is the victory
Oh glorious victory that overcomes the world
His banner over us
His love our sword the word of God
We tread the road the saints above
Out of triumph trod
By faith they like a whirlwind's breath
Swept on o'er every field
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield
Faith is the victory
Oh glorious victory that overcomes the world
On every hand
The foe we find drawn up in dread array
Let tents of ease be left
Behind and onward to the fray
Salvation's helmet on each head
With truth all gird about
The earth shall tremble neath our tread
And echo with our shout
Faith is the victory
Oh glorious victory
That overcomes the world
To him that overcomes the foe
That raiment shall begin
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in hand
Then upward from the hills of light
Our hearts with love aflame
Will vanquish all the hosts of night
In Jesus' conquering name
Faith is the victory
Oh glorious victory
That overcomes the world
Welcome everybody to Sturt Foundation Baptist Church
for our midweek service. Let's go ahead and take our bulletins and go through some announcements
If you need a bulletin, Brother Sean will bring you a bulletin
No cost, just keep your hands up
On the front cover we have our verse of the week
It says there is no fear in love, but perfect love casteth out fear
because fear hath torment he that feareth is not made perfect
in love. 1 John 4 verse 18. Our service times are listed
below on the inside page there
and 1030 a.m. is the preaching service, Sunday mornings, Sunday evenings
3.30 p.m. and of course this week is Mother's Day
We will be in Exodus chapter 16 for the afternoon service
Thursday Bible study is the study you're in tonight
6.30 p.m. and we're in Hebrews chapter 11. We're drawing near the end
of the book. It's been a fun study. It's been a lot harder than
I thought it was going to be, but I should have just known that. There's a lot of great doctrine
in Hebrews, a lot of great truths in Hebrews, but it's been great
studying this book and we're going to get through chapter 11 tonight
Our soul winning times are listed below. We had soul winning tonight. We had 16
out and zero salvations, but God rewards us for the labor
that we do. We've had some good months
the last few months here soul winning, even January
We've gotten a lot more salvations than we did at this time
last year, so keep up the good work soul winning
We got skunked last night in Seattle too, but we've already had
27 salvations in two weeks at that new church plant up there, so
praise the Lord for that. Then we had the men's leadership
class. That was Tuesday night
and on May 13th, this Saturday is going to be the ladies' tea
It's going to be here at the church building at noon. Ladies, feel free to dress up
I guess everybody votes on who the best dressed is
and there's multiple different prizes that you can win. My wife went and picked out
a bunch of nice gifts for everybody
Well, they're not gifts. I guess you win them
You have to dress up. If you don't want to dress up, you don't have to. It's for all ladies. It's not just mothers
and daughters. It's all ladies are welcome to attend
That's at noon and lunch will be provided, tea will be provided
dessert will be provided, and fun will be provided and fellowship
Hope you come. If you haven't signed up yet, please let my wife know
Just message her on WhatsApp or whatever
And then Mother's Day, of course, is May 14th and it kind of put the
challenge out there to get a certain type
of food, like if the ladies had some ideas, and Crystal had a couple
ideas that were really good. However,
Pastor Shelley did not approve of the Indian food. No, I'm just kidding
But yeah, I figured, I don't know how many people actually like Indian food
But I like Indian food, so I think Pastor Shelley is wrong on that doctrine
But it depends on where you get it from
Anyway, we're going to actually have round table pizza, so sorry about that
Miss Crystal, I got a garlic chicken so that
it would be kind of like, I don't know
I don't know what that even means, but anyway, so we'll have pepperoni, we'll have
Indian, meat lovers, and then the chicken
The fancy chicken. We'll have salad, so
I did actually for the gluten-free people, got three small pizzas
So I got pepperoni, Hawaiian, and
meat marble?
So those small pizzas, don't touch them kids, don't touch them
anybody else, they're for the celiac people
They're suffering when they eat flour, so brother Ryan, I know, he really has it bad
So if he touches anything that's been cross-contaminated
He's sick for days, so anyway, but we got that going on
Of course we'll provide water, but if you want to bring any drinks
You're more than welcome to do so, but lunch will be provided after the service
There will be a gift for every mother, there's actually two gifts for every mother
And I do have to explain that, so I got on the Sword of the Lord
website, I got Preaching for Mothers, and it's like
It's from an independent Baptist website, we get
our Sword of the Lord stuff for our music and things like that
And one of the sermons that's in it is from Charles Spurgeon
So I gotta have a disclaimer on that
So we don't promote Charles Spurgeon here, so if you want the book
You can take the book if your husband's okay with that or whatever, but
I want to see you just put a big X on those pages
Or just cut them out if you want to, but you don't have to take a copy of it
That's fine, but I got something else that's a special surprise
Also along that, because I felt bad about that and I don't want to give out
Stuff that has preaching from false pastors and Calvinists
And stuff like that, so anyway
Those will be available upon request, and then please dash that
With a potter's vessel. Alright, so also we have coming up
A church work day, that's next Saturday at 10.30
There's a lot of furniture that we've been buying for the conference
I need people to help build, so
There's chairs, there's like four chairs
A table, and there's some other stuff, but there's also
I'd like to have some people help clean up around the building and inside the fenced area
We got a bunch of those, you know, whatever, getters
Trash picker uppers, or whatever you want to call them
So you don't have to touch anything, you can wear 10 pairs of gloves if you want
But we'll have all the stuff you need to help make it look nice for the conference
That's kind of what we're shooting for, so
I hope that you would show up for that, I don't want to interrupt soloing or anything like that
So if you could just come for a couple hours that day, that'd be great, and there's other stuff that's
around here that you've probably been saying, pastor needs to do this, but
I need help, so if you can come help for the church work day
I'd really appreciate it, I think it's the first time we've ever had something like that
Anyway, we kind of need it, so it's kind of a spring cleaning
Brother Sean's sermon inspired me to do some real
spring cleaning too, so anyway, also we have the
conference coming up that next week, and that's on Thursday
Starts on Thursday, ends on Sunday, and Thursday we'll have
Pastor Shelley preaching for us, Friday Pastor Anderson, those are both at
7pm, Saturday Pastor Jimenez will be preaching for us in the morning at
10.30am, Sunday morning
Pastor Jones, then I'll be preaching the last service
There's a note in there to RSVP for hats or ladies teas
So I guess they're not, I don't think that they're cut like a ladies tea though
So if you're RSVPing for that and you're telling me your
shirt size, it's just going to be like a regular shirt size
I don't think they're cut for ladies, at least not the one I saw wasn't
So the men are getting the hats and the ladies are getting the t-shirts
That's kind of how that's going, but I'm asking if you would just
please RSVP and let me know that you're going to be here, if you're going to be here for the whole conference
If you're here for any day, it's fine, I realize not everybody's going to be able to
come to every night, but with this all-star lineup at the beginning
of the conference, you're not going to want to miss that
I already know what they're all preaching about, and so they're going to be very exciting
sermons
To RSVP, you can either text and say, hey this is so-and-so
I'm RSVPing, and then you can also
just email me at shirtfoundationbaptist.com
and just let me know, and I need to know the shirt size
and the t-shirts and hats are for 13 and up, we will have prizes
and stuff like that for the kids, so don't worry about
they're not getting the shaft, so there will be some nice stuff for them
too, so anyway, please make sure you RSVP
because here's the thing, if a bunch of people RSVP and then there's no more hats
left, I don't want our own church family to not get them, and most of the people that have RSVPed
are church family, so I appreciate that
church family, well done, you're making strides in the
new IFB for RSVPing, so it's been a problem
for seven years, Pastor Jimenez, he's always
trying to get people to do it for the Red Hot Preaching Conference, I think he kind of gave up, but anyway
let's see, so the last thing on there, we have, and also for the
conference, just real quick, we have 3 o'clock on Thursday and Friday
there will be soul winning, there will be meals provided at 5 o'clock on both nights
so you can come in, you can go soul winning, and then come right in and eat
so the meals will be provided, and then lunch on Saturday
lunch on Sunday, and then there's going to be Q&As
after each pastor preaches, and so it'll just be
Brother Dylan's going to kind of be the MC, and he's going to let you guys ask
whatever questions you want, and I will make this option available, if you want to just
put your question on a communication card, you don't want to stand up, maybe you're shy
and you don't want to stand up and ask, we'll take some
you know, you can put your, whatever question you have on a communication card
and drop it in the donation box that's up there, that's the donation slash communication
card box that's right there as you walk into church, so
if you have a question, go ahead and do that, or you can just do it live
during the Q&A session, and then we're going to
probably take some from the internet, and then it'll be a quick like
20 to 30 minute, well that's
yeah, anyway, you just never know with the pastors
like one question could be like a 30 minute answer with me
anyway, so that's the conference, it's coming up, it's coming up
fast, Miss Bobby, do you need help with anything, or do you have like
stuff that you want to delegate, that you're just waiting for that person
to come up and say, what must I do to help with
this conference? You do, okay, so if anybody wants to help with
any of the, as you can see it's getting decorated, it's supposed to kind of look like
a king's court, so there's a lot of stuff that still needs to be done
so if you want to help, please see Miss Bobby or Brother Ramon
they're kind of doing the decorations and stuff like that, so
they'd be happy to put you to work, and let's see, June 9th through 12th
is the Sure Foundation Baptist Church Winnipeg official launch
and they've already been running under our banner since October
Brother Jim Weeb is leading a group of about 28 people up there
and he's been doing that for about 5 years just as like a soul winning group
and he's been preaching, and he's been doing a good job, and so I'm
going to go up there, and if anybody wants to go, it's more than welcome to go
and I'm going to be ordaining Brother Jim as an evangelist there
so that's all I have for announcements there, and then of course the
spiel, we are a family integrated church, that means we don't separate the children
from the parents for any reason, and
please make sure you're utilizing the mom baby room or dad baby room located in the back
areas of the church there, there's the dad baby room back there, mother baby room there
and please know mom's in the dad baby room and dad's in the mom baby room during the service
please, and no running in the building
no letting your children go into
areas by themselves where there's no adult watching, so please just
make sure you're watching your children, silence your cell phones, replace them on silent for the
airplane mode for the service, and if you need an escort to your vehicle
the ushers are available to do that for you, they're the guys with the gold pins or silver pins
that say usher on them, and the jackets, online donations are available
on our website and our text giving numbers on the page there, the ties from
last month are at the bottom of the page, and what's the date today?
It's the 11th, and it's Jack's birthday tomorrow, right? Where's Jack?
Hey Jack, how's it going? How old are you going to be?
Nine. That's one of the best ages to be.
Nine and ten. Anyway, well happy birthday Jack, let's go ahead and sing
happy birthday to him.
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, God bless you
Happy birthday to you
Alright, enjoy that
nine year old year, it's going to be a great one. Alright, that's all I have
for announcements, let's go ahead and sing another song
I'm sorry, I just have one more thing, I'm sorry, but
wait there's more, no, I am starting to implement the
communication card system, and we did it when we first started as a church
and I just think it's probably a good idea, our church is growing, so
for now, if you're new to our church
and we don't have your information like your birthday or
phone number or address and stuff like that, obviously we're not going to sell
your information to Google or anybody else, they already have it anyway, so
we'll keep your information private, it's just if we want to communicate with you
or if you want to communicate with us
but anyway, if you fill out one of those communication cards, if you're new to our church or maybe
you've been here a while and you're not really new
but we still don't have that information, please fill one of those cards out
how many people in your family, how old your children are
what their birthdays, the birthdays and anniversaries, all that kind of stuff
so we can update our database as far as being able to put that stuff in the bulletin
alright, that's all I have this time, and you can drop
it in the, if you fill out a communication card, you can drop it in the plates
as the ushers go by, and the reason why I have that box back there is
so that if you forgot, but you want to still do it
those will be there until the end of the service, and then at the end of each service we'll take the box and unlock it
and check the communication cards, alright? Alright, let's sing another song
alright
our next song is song number 177, He Included Me
song number
177 in your blue hymn books, He Included Me
song 177, He Included Me, let's sing it
together on the first, I am so happy in
Christ today, that I go singing
along my way, yes I'm so happy
to know and say, Jesus included
me too, Jesus

the Lord said, whosoever
He included me

He included me, when
the Lord said, whosoever
He included me
ever God's Spirit is saying
come hear the bride saying
no longer roam, but I am sure
while they're calling home, Jesus
included me too
Jesus included me
yes, He included me
when the Lord said, whosoever
He included me

me, yes He included
me, when the Lord said

me, freely
come drink words the soul to thrill
oh, with what joy they my heart do fill
for when He said, whosoever will

me, yes He included
me, when the Lord said

me, Jesus
