Poage Landing Days Community Worship Service September 23, 2018 11 a.m. THE CHURCH GATHERS TO WORSHIP Praise This Is Amazing Grace Who breaks the power of sin and darkness? Whose love is mighty and so much stronger? The King of Glory, the King above all kings. Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder? And leaves us breathless in awe and wonder? The King of Glory, the King above all kings. [Chorus] (Yeah) (Oh) This is amazing grace...this is unfailing love, That You would take my place That You would bear my cross. You laid down Your life That I would be set free. Oh, Jesus I sing for all that You've done for me. Who brings our chaos back into order? Who makes the orphan a son and daughter? The King of Glory the King of Glory. Who rules the nations with truth and justice? Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance? The King of Glory the King above all kings. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Worthy is the King who conquered the grave. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain. Worthy is the King who conquered the grave. Worthy is the Lamb who was slain.

I Saw the Light I wandered so aimless life filled with sin I wouldn't let my dear Savior in Then Jesus came like a stranger in the night Praise the Lord I saw the light [Chorus] I saw the light I saw the light No more in darkness no more in night (And) now I'm so happy no sorrow in sight Praise the Lord I saw the light Just like a blind man I wandered along Worries and fears I claimed for my own Then like the blind man that God gave back his sight Praise the Lord I saw the light [Chorus] I was a fool to wander and stray Straight is the gate and narrow the way Now I have traded the wrong for the right Praise the Lord I saw the light [Chorus] CCLI Song # 45064 Hank Williams Sr. 1948.

Death Was Arrested Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin, lost without hope with no place to begin. Your love made a way to let mercy come in, When death was arrested, and my life began. Ash was redeemed, only beauty remains. My orphan heart was given a name. My mourning grew quiet, my feet rose to dance. When death was arrested, and my life began. [Chorus] Oh Your grace so free washes over me. You have made me new now life begins with You. It's Your endless love pouring down on us. You have made us new now life begins with You. Released from my chains, I'm a pris'ner no more. My shame was a ransom He faithfully bore. He cancelled my debt and He called me His friend. When death was arrested, and my life began. Our Savior displayed on a criminal's cross, Darkness rejoiced as though Heaven had lost. But then Jesus arose with our freedom in hand. That's when death was arrested, and my life began. Oh, we're free, free, forever we're free. Come join the song of all the redeemed. Yes, we're free, free, forever amen. When death was arrested, and my life began.

Scripture Hebrews 11:10 For he looked forward to the city that has foundations, whose architect and builder is God. Revelation 18:21-24 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, With such violence Babylon the great city will be thrown down, and will be found no more; and the sound of harpists and minstrels and of flutists and trumpeters will be heard in you no more; and an artisan of any trade will be found in you no more; and the sound of the millstone will be heard in you no more and the light of a lamp will shine in you no more; and the voice of bridegroom and bride will be heard in you no more; for your merchants were the magnates of the earth, and all nations were deceived by your sorcery. And in you was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of all who have been slaughtered on earth. Sermon City of Hope O Come to the Altar Are you hurting and broken within? Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin? Jesus is calling. Have you come to the end of yourself? Do you thirst for a drink from the well? Jesus is calling. [Chorus] O come to the altar. The Father's arms are open wide. Forgiveness was bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Leave behind your regrets and mistakes. Come today there's no reason to wait. Jesus is calling Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy. From the ashes a new life is born. Jesus is calling Oh what a Savior Isn't he wonderful? Sing alleluia Christ is risen Bow down before him For he is Lord of all. Sing alleluia Christ is risen (Continued on the next page)
Bear your cross as you wait for the crown. Tell the world of the treasure you've found. CCLI Song # 7051511 Chris Brown Mack Brock Steven Furtick Wade Joye 2015 Music by Elevation Worship Publishing (Admin. by Essential Music Publishing LLC) Benediction Please stand, as you are able The following is taken from A History of Ashland, Kentucky 1786 to 1954 published by the Ashland Centennial Committee for the Celebration of its Centennial, October 1,2 and 3, 1954: Religion played a very important part in the lives of the settlers of Poage Settlement, and those strong religious roots put down by Ashland s pioneers are reflected in the large number of energetic and healthy churches of our presentday city. Perhaps unlike other rowdy Ohio River cities of the early days, Ashland acquired a reputation up and down the rivers as the place where they have seven Sundays in the week. It was almost 5 years after Ashland was so named and incorporated before the citizens even thought it necessary to build a jail. Samuel W. Wilson in his History of Kentucky stated that the early history of Ashland before it became a city was principally the story of the Bethesda Presbyterian Church. More properly, it might be said that it was a story of the early iron industry in Kentucky which centered around the Poage Settlement and that the center of the Poage Settlement was the Bethesda Church, now the First Presbyterian Church. On June 11, 1819, the Poages and other settlers decided it was time to form a church. They met in the log home of Major James Poage near the river landing which is now 16th Street.
