Call to Worship

By Maurice Montgomery

O, clap your hands, ye saints of God

With voice of triumph sing;

For our Redeemer is our God,

Our Prophet, Priest, and King.

Sing praises to Him, sing His praise,

With understanding sing;

For He is sovereign o'er our days,

O'er all the earth the King.

With thankful hearts we praise Thee Lord,

Divine, eternal Son;

For giving ears to hear Thy Word,

For life in us begun.

For Christ and what He is to us,

We praise Thee without end;

For bringing us in Him to trust,

The sinner's perfect Friend.

O, hear our praises sovereign Lord,

And freely give us grace

And keep us through Thy precious Word,

To see Christ face to face

(Tune: Majestic Sweetness)

"JESUS ONLY"

Matthew 17:8 "And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only."

Every disciple of Christ must be brought to see, "Jesus only." We may see and do great things; however, when all is said and done, "Jesus only" is our hope, our salvation, our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification and our redemption. "Jesus only" is our message to the church and to a dying world. I believe the reason for all that we experience is to continually bring us to see "Jesus only." It is through Him only that we learn all things; "Jesus only" is the key of knowledge. "Take my yoke upon you and learn of me..." Mat 11:29

~Pastor John Chapman

WHAT IS YOUR REASON?

If a minister compromises the message of grace and the gospel of our Lord Jesus, we begin to search for reasons. If a prominent church member becomes entangled in the world, business, or any number of interests which take him away from the fellowship or causes him to neglect things spiritual, we begin to search for reasons. One might produce a variety of reasons for this departure from Christ and strong attraction to the flesh, but there is ONE CHIEF REASON--THIS PERSON HAS NEVER SEEN CHRIST JESUS, OUR LORD! He has never beheld, in his heart, the great glory, beauty, and sufficiency of Christ. The Lord Jesus has never become to him, "My beloved!"

As Solomon said, "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine" (Song of Sol. 6:3). John said, "He that SEETH THE SON and believeth on Him hath eternal life" (Jn. 6:40). To see Christ as He is, is to lose interest in all others! To see Christ as the ultimate joy, peace, rest, and glory is to cease from all other works and pursuits and enter His rest. To see Christ as God's only anointed Redeemer, complete Saviour, and effectual atonement is to trust Him and Him alone to save and keep us. To see even the REPROACH of Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of this world is to walk away from them with no regrets and never look back! To even look back is to perish with Lot's wife. But he that seeth the Son knows that nothing back there is worth comparing to Him!

~Pastor Henry Mahan

WORDS OF WISDOM

The law knows nothing of mercy; the gospel knows nothing else. By the Law I learn that I am guilty, but by the gospel I learn that I am guilty, but by the gospel I learn that I am justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. By the law I learn that I have ruined myself by sin and stand exposed to Divine vengeance, but by the gospel I learn that the Lord Jesus was made sin for me that I might be made the righteousness of God in Him. By the law my hopes are destroyed, and by the gospel my expectations are raised. By the law I am stripped, exposed, condemned, and slain; but by the gospel I am quickened, justified, accepted, and clothed.
