SOMETHING ABOUT THE 

NAME JESUS

 

There is something about the

name Jesus Something about the name Jesus.
It is the sweetest name I know
Oh how I love the name Jesus, Oh how I love the name Jesus
It is the sweetest name I know.

Some people say I'm crazy but, I can't explain the power that I feel when I call your name said it's just like fire shut-up in my bones.
The Holy Ghost is moving and just won't leave me alone.

Said it's sweeter than honey from a honeycomb.

I can feel the Holy Ghost moving and it won't leave me alone

 

At the name of Jesus every knee has got to bow

so you don't have to wait till the fire comes you can call on him shout praise him do it right now.

 

I WILL TRUST IN THE LORD 

 

I will trust in the Lord 

I will trust in the Lord 

I will trust in the Lord ‘til I die 

I will trust in the Lord 

I will trust in the Lord 

I will trust in the Lord ‘til I die 

 

I’m going to treat everybody right . . . 

 

I’m going to watch, fight and pray . . . 

 

I’m going to stay on bended knee . . .

Church Theme 2023

 

“Year of Miraculous Outpouring & Majestic Praise”

Exodus 15:6 , 11; Psalm 8:1; Psalm 29:4; Psalm 111:3; 2 Peter 1:17; Psalm 77:4

Matthew 11:20-2; Acts 19:11; Acts 12:28; 1 Corinthians 12:28; Hebrews 2:4

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

God is doing a new thing and taking us to a new level. He calls us to seek Him and will do miracles in our midst. This year we are praying for miracles in our lives, the lives of our families, and our Church family. As we pray and seek His face, we are going to give God Majestic Praise along the way. The songwriters said: I seek a miracle every day and I just want to Praise Him.

Sermon Title: “This Ain't Going to End Like you think it will”

Scripture: Exodus 14: 10-18

 

“FIRESIDE CHAT” QUESTIONS

1.     When was the last time you said "Trouble in my way"... BUT God?

 

2.     Why is it when trouble comes we are so quick to say: This ain't
going to end well?

 

3.     When trouble comes, Why do we first jump to complain? Even about God?

 

4.     Have we been guilty of saying: God what have you done for me

        lately? Forgetting how faithful He has been?

 

5.     How do you interpret the "red seas" and approaching Pharaoh’s armies
in your life?

 

6.     Can you praise God for obstacles & closed doors in your life?

 

7.     Why is it so hard to stand still and let God DO God?

 

 

 

 

Listening to God’s Words and messages for you.  Make a few personal notes as you listen. Revisit your notes during quiet time spent with the Lord over the coming week. Allow God to crystallize His truths in your life.
