2 Sunday, March 8, 2015 We at the Lansing Church of Christ would like to extend a warm welcome to all of our visitors. It is truly a blessing to have you in our midst to praise and worship the Lord with us in spirit and in truth. As saints of God, we are striving to make heaven our eternal home. We have been redeemed by his Blood, sanctified by his Spirit, and sustained by his Grace. God is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hear (Rom 10:17) Believe (Heb 11:6) Repent (Acts 2:38) After baptism, then what??? Confess (Matt 10:32) Get to know him (Eph 3:17-19; 1 Jn 2:3-5; 2 Tim 2:15) Walk worthy (Eph 4:1-3; 1 Thess 4:7-8) Pray (1 Jn 5:11-15; 1 Thess 5:17-18) Love (1 Jn 3:22-24; 1 Jn 4:8) Assemble & Worship (Heb 10:25; Jn 4:24; Jn 9:31) Baptism (Mark 16:16) Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves! The accumulation of our sin Was a weighty cross to bear Our sins of past, present, and future Hung Lord Jesus there But mighty were those arms of love Stretched out for you and me Worthy were those feet that walked And prayed in Gethsemane From His side poured out water and blood Not one bone was broken Fulfilled prophecy to the letter Thus our God had spoken Here the Saviour of the world Obedient to His Father's will Gave up the ghost and died our death So He could Deliver still Deliver still He does our Lord Sinners He saves by grace Whomsoever shall call upon Christ's name Will see Him face to face He is the Resurrection and the Life He's conqueror over the grave Tell the world this story brother Jesus Saves! Jesus Saves! The temporary Sunday school teacher was struggling to open a combination lock on the supply cabinet. She had been told the combination, but couldn't quite remember it. Finally she went to the pastor's study and asked for help. The pastor came into the room and began to turn the dial. After the first two numbers he paused and stared blankly for a moment. Finally he looked serenely heavenward and his lips moved silently. Then he looked back at the lock, and quickly turned to the final number, and opened the lock. The teacher was amazed. "I'm in awe at your faith, pastor," she said. "It's really nothing," he answered. "The number is on a piece of tape on the ceiling." I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. 2 Cor. 5:21
