Welcome to Shur Foundation Baptist Church. If you could find your seats and grab your blue songbooks and turn to page number 194.
We're going to be singing Jesus I, My Cross Have Taken.
Song 194, let's sing it together on the first.
Jesus I, My Cross Have Taken
All to leave and follow Thee
Destitute, despised, forsaken
Thou from hence my all shall be
Perish every fond ambition
All I've sought and hoped and known
Yet how rich is my condition
God and heaven are still my own
Let the world despise and leave me
They have left my Savior too
Human hearts and looks deceive me
Thou art not like man untrue
And while Thou shalt smile upon me
God of wisdom, love and mind
Foes may hate and friends may shun me
Show Thy face and all is bright
Man may trouble and distress me
Twill but drive me to Thy breast
Life with trials, heart may press me
And will bring me sweeter rest
O, tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me
O, twere not in joy to charm me
Were that joy unmixed with Thee
Haste me on from grace to glory
Armed by faith and being by prayer
Heaven's eternal days before Thee
God's own hand shall guide Thee there
Soon shall close Thy earthly mission
Swift shall pass Thy pilgrim days
Hope shall change to glad fruition
Faith through sight and prayer to praise
Amen. Brother Alex, could you open it up in a word of prayer?
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank You for our courage here.
We thank You for all the people who have come out tonight.
We thank You for those who have come out tonight.
Amen.
Our second song will be song number 96,
I Gave My Life For Thee.
Song number 96 in your blue hymn books,
I Gave My Life For Thee.
Song number 96, let's see it together in the verse.
I gave my life for Thee
My precious blood I shed
That Thou might transom be
And quicken from the dead
I gave, I gave my life for Thee
What hast Thou given for me?
I gave, I gave my life for Thee
What hast Thou given for me?
My Father's house of light
My gloried circle grown
I left for earthly night
For wandering sad and lone
I left, I left it all to Thee
Hast Thou left aught for me?
I left, I left it all for Thee
Hast Thou left aught for me?
I suffered much for Thee
More than Thy tongue can tell
Of citrus agony
To rescue Thee from hell
I borne, I borne it all for Thee
What hast Thou borne for me?
I borne, I borne it all for Thee
What hast Thou borne for me?
And I have brought to Thee
Down from my home above
salvation full and free
My pardon and my love
I bring, I bring rich gifts to Thee
What hast Thou brought to me?
I bring, I bring rich gifts to Thee
What hast Thou brought to me?
If you don't have a bulletin, just lift up your hand. Brother Ramon will bring you a bulletin.
Anybody need one? Going once,
going twice. Alright, we've got one here. Sold!
On our front cover we have our verse of the week. It says,
And He took bread and gave thanks and break it, and gave unto them, saying, This is My body which is given for you,
this do, in remembrance of Me. Luke chapter 22 verse 19.
Of course we took the Lord's Supper together last Sunday night
and it just so happens we're going to be in Hebrews chapter 9 tonight
which is talking about the blood atonement. I didn't plan it that way, it just kind of happened
so, you know, praise God. So, anyway we're going to be talking about
the blood atonement of Christ tonight in our Bible study.
Our regular services are Sunday morning at 10.30, Sunday evening at 3.30
and then Thursday at 6.30. And then we have soul wanting
listed below there. We do have a special soul wanting time this Saturday.
It's only like an hour and a half difference I think, but it's going to be from 11 to 1.30.
So that'll be meeting. Brother Sean posted the
map inside the WhatsApp group. And did you make a map, a physical map
too? Okay. For all you boomers out there
including my...
No chance of rain. And hey, if you guys want to stay out
longer you're more than welcome to do so. But I figured
two and a half hours is a good long stretch and
do you want to stay out longer? No one's stopping you, alright?
So we had soul wanting, what, yesterday, not yesterday
yeah, yesterday you had a special, you had one saved yesterday? Did you have one on Monday?
No.
One Monday, one Wednesday. Did we have any Sunday though? I don't think we did.
So, then we won tonight. So praise God. So we had three saved
this week. So the Lord's really blessing our church right now.
Obviously the more soul wanting you do, the more chances
you're going to get to get someone saved. And so we had one saved
tonight. So Saturday it's not going to be at 12.30. It's going to be at 11
a.m. It's going to be in Portland Gresham. So give yourself some time to get there.
If there's no traffic, if you live here in Vancouver you can get there
in about 20 minutes. Battleground, not so sure. Other places, not
so sure. But I know from my house to this location I can usually make it there
in 20 minutes with no traffic. However, traffic has changed in the last seven years
in this area so there's just no guarantee. So give yourself some time to get there on time.
11 o'clock is not super early. We'll meet on location.
And are you going to divide it up? Who plans
on going? So a good number
of people and probably some people that aren't here. Good. So I don't know
do you want to just stick to the main map or do you think that one map is going to be good?
All right. So
okay. We've got plenty to do. So
we'll just meet at that location that's inside the WhatsApp group.
And then let's see. The praise report, you can see
the salvation, baptisms, and attendance totals from
last week. And we have two more baptisms. We're supposed to have
possibly three more baptisms this Sunday. So looking forward
to that. Pray that they end up being able to come. And
let's see. We did the Lord's Supper. We did the leadership
class. The men practiced baptizing each other. And they did it pretty good the first
time. So it's a little nerve-wracking. But
getting everything down, it's the timing.
The timing is what it is. And I messed up the timing still. And I've been
baptized quite a few people. But every once in a while it'll be a stretch
before I baptize. And I'll be like, what am I supposed to say again?
But you baptize in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. And you pretty much
you got it. And completely submerged.
So anyway, it was a fun class.
So this weekend I already mentioned the soul winning potion Gresham.
Of course Easter Sunday is this coming Sunday.
And we're having a potluck after the morning service. A lot of people signed up for dishes.
If you haven't signed up for a dish, it's not too late to do so.
And I got the hams in my truck
ready to hand to you after the service. And in case you didn't know,
it's okay to eat ham now. We're in the New Testament. Raise God for that, right?
So anyway, bacon. Man, what would
we do without bacon? Good night. Anyway,
so and then the family pictures are, I'm not exactly sure
about the family pictures. I know we're going to have the thing up, but
right after service, we might have to put it in a different spot is all I'm thinking. So me and my wife
are going to come tomorrow and kind of set up for the
potluck. But I posted something
in the group for the ushers. Would you please, every guy that's able bodied,
just run up right after the service and grab the tables and chairs
remaining. And we can set it all up down here. I just want to make sure
we get it down here. So if you wouldn't mind doing that, I appreciate it. But the pictures,
I'm not sure whether they're going to be done, but there's going to be a banner that you can take a picture
in front of. So as far as like before church, I'm not
sure about that. So we'll probably have more
information about that before Sunday rolls along here. So anyway,
then April 11th is the OMSI homeschool field trip. That's at
930 in the morning. That's next Tuesday.
And the admission's already paid for. Just show up, park your
vehicle, be on time, and then if you have any questions
see Mrs. Woods or just message her on Facebook or something. I think their family's
sick right now. A lot of families are sick right now, so let's remember to pray for people.
We've got whole families that are missing in action right now
because of illness. And then the crochet class is April 12th.
So got a big week. Then the next day
a lot of us are flying out to Detroit for the soul winning marathon. I posted the schedule
inside our group. I posted it inside the Detroit soul winning group. So hopefully
you got the gist of it. So
there'll be maps and everything posted in the WhatsApp group. If you're going to Detroit and you're not
in the Detroit soul winning WhatsApp group, please see brother Temo
because he's got the keys to the kingdom when it comes to that. So does anybody else
have admin on that? I don't. I should. I'm the pastor of the church.
Why don't I have the admin on it? Good night. Anyway,
there's go betweens happening. I should just be able to pop somebody in there. So
brother Temo, give me some admin love there. Anyway,
but yeah, see brother Temo. Don't call me. Don't text me.
I don't have the power. So anyway, so that's going to be
a great trip. Then April 29th, of course, we had scheduled
a Salem soul winning trip, but I'm going to talk to you more about that when we do
the prayer request. And then the men's preaching night
is going to be the next day on April 30th,
King James Conference coming up May 25th. So all the
other stuff you all know. I don't think there's any new visitors here, so I'm just going to
skip all that. And then someone has a birthday on the 11th, but we'll
have to just wait for that. Who was it that has a birthday on the 11th?
Somebody's trying to... that's all right. Anyway, that's all I have for announcements.
Let's sing another song. We'll receive the offering afterwards.
Next song is song number 240,
I Must Tell Jesus.
Song number 240 in your blue hymn books, I Must Tell Jesus.
Song 240, sing it together on the first.
He loves and cares for his own
I must tell Jesus
I cannot bear my burdens alone
I must tell Jesus
Jesus can't help me
I must tell Jesus
all of my troubles
He is a kind, compassionate friend
If I but ask Him
He will deliver
Make of my troubles, quickly and ever
I must tell Jesus
I cannot bear my burdens alone
I must tell Jesus
Jesus can't help me, Jesus alone
Tempted and tried
I need a great Savior
Who can help my burdens to bear
I must tell Jesus
Be all my cares and sorrows will share
I must tell Jesus
I cannot bear my burdens alone
I must tell Jesus
Jesus can't help me, Jesus alone
O how the world to evil
allures me
O how my heart is tempted to sin
I must tell Jesus
And He will help me
Over the world, the victory to win
I must tell Jesus
I cannot bear my burdens alone
I must tell Jesus
He can't help me, Jesus alone
Amen. Brother Sean, could you bless the offering for us?
Lord, thank you so much for this day.
Thank you all so much.
