Offering

We thank you for your heart-felt generosity and sacrifice in giving. God is the ultimate giver who gave the most precious gift imaginable - His Son Jesus - to die on the cross for our sins. Our lives are transformed by the gospel of Christ. When we learn to give generously, it changes us, making us more like our generous Creator. In other words, generosity isn’t something God wants from you, it is something He wants for you.

Praise

Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord Praise the Lord
I’ll praise in the valley Praise on the mountain I’ll praise when I’m sure Praise when I’m doubting I’ll praise when outnumbered Praise when surrounded 'Cause praise is the water My enemies drown in
As long as I’m breathing I’ve got a reason to
Praise the Lord oh my soul Praise the Lord oh my soul
I’ll praise when I feel it And I’ll praise when I don’t I’ll praise 'cause I know You’re still in control 'Cause my praise is a weapon It’s more than a sound My praise is the shout That brings Jericho down
Praise the Lord oh my soul Praise the Lord oh my soul I won’t be quiet My God is alive How could I keep it inside Praise the Lord oh my soul
I’ll praise 'cause You’re sovereign Praise 'cause You reign Praise 'cause You rose and defeated the grave I’ll praise 'cause You’re faithful Praise 'cause You’re true Praise 'cause there’s nobody greater than You
Praise the Lord oh my soul Praise the Lord oh my soul Praise the Lord oh my soul Praise the Lord oh my soul I won’t be quiet My God is alive How could I keep it inside I won’t be quiet My God is alive How could I keep it inside I won’t be quiet My God is alive How could I keep it inside Praise the Lord oh my soul
Let everything that has breath Praise the Lord Praise the Lord

Scripture Reading

1 I love the LORD, because he has heard my voice and my pleas for mercy.

2 Because he inclined his ear to me, therefore I will call on him as long as I live.

3 The snares of death encompassed me; the pangs of Sheol laid hold on me; I suffered distress and anguish.

4 Then I called on the name of the LORD: “O LORD, I pray, deliver my soul!”

12 What shall I render to the LORD for all his benefits to me?

13 I will lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD,

14 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people.

15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of his saints.

16 O LORD, I am your servant; I am your servant, the son of your maidservant. You have loosed my bonds.

17 I will offer to you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call on the name of the LORD.

18 I will pay my vows to the LORD in the presence of all his people,

19 in the courts of the house of the LORD, in your midst, O Jerusalem. Praise the LORD!

Scripture

13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.

14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance,

15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct,

16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile,

18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold,

19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot.

20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you

21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

22 Having purified your souls by your obedience to the truth for a sincere brotherly love, love one another earnestly from a pure heart,

23 since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God;
