WE BRING GOD S TITHES & OUR OFFERINGS SHEPHERDING PRAYER Jesse York, Pastor SCRIPTURE READING Galatians 3:21-29 Is the law then contrary to the promises of God? Certainly not! For if a law had been given that could give life, then righteousness would indeed be by the law. 22 But the Scripture imprisoned everything under sin, so that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. 23 Now before faith came, we were held captive under the law, imprisoned until the coming faith would be revealed. 24 So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith. 25 But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a guardian, 26 for in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. 29 And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise. CHILDREN S SERMON Who are God's Children?
WE SING A SONG OF ASSURANCE He Will Hold Me Fast When I fear my faith will fail Christ will hold me fast When the tempter would prevail I could never keep my hold Through life's fearful path For my love is often cold He must hold me fast For my Savior loves me so Those He saves are His delight Christ will hold me fast Precious in His holy sight He'll not let my soul be lost His Promises shall last Bought by Him at such a cost For my life He bled and died Christ will hold me fast Justice has been satisfied Raised with Him to endless life Till our faith is turned to sight When He comes at last Ada Ruth Habershon & Matthew Merker 2013 Merker, Matthew CCLI Song # 7016161 -- CCLI License # 237793
PREACHING OF THE WORD Jesse York, Pastor "God heard the voice... Genesis 21:6 21 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned. 9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing. 10 So she said to Abraham, Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac. 11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son. 12 But God said to Abraham, Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named. 13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring. 14 So Abraham rose early in the morning and took bread and a skin of water and gave it to Hagar, putting it on her shoulder, along with the child, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beersheba. 15 When the water in the skin was gone, she put the child under one of the bushes. 16 Then she went and sat down opposite him a good way off, about the distance of a bowshot, for she said, Let me not look on the death of the child. And as she sat opposite him, she lifted up her voice and wept. 17 And God heard the voice of the boy, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. 18 Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation. 19 Then God opened her eyes,
and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink. 20 And God was with the boy, and he grew up. He lived in the wilderness and became an expert with the bow. 21 He lived in the wilderness of Paran, and his mother took a wife for him from the land of Egypt. SERMON NOTES
