The bible story this morning is taken from “50 WEIRDEST BIBLE STORIES” by Andy Robb, published by CWR. Copyright © 2008 Andy Robb

WIFE STRIFE. Take a look in Genesis chapter 20 and read verses 14 to 16 to see what else king Abimelech did to get back into God’s good books. Also if you would like to be reminded of the daily notes to help you read the bible, here they are again; Pens for 3-6yr olds, Topz for 7-11yr olds, YPs for 11-15yr olds and Mettle for 15-18yr olds.

Verse 1

He lavishes grace as our burdens grow greater He sends us more strength as our labours increase To added afflictions He offers more mercy To multiplied trials He multiplies peace

Verse 2

When we have exhausted our store of endurance When our strength has failed and the day is half done When we've reached the end of our earthly resources Our Father's full giving is only begun Our Father's full giving is only begun

Chorus

So lean hard lean hard, lean on the everlasting arms Lean hard lean hard Lean on the everlasting arms, lean on the everlasting arms

Verse 3

His love has no limits His grace has no measure His power has no boundary that's known unto men For out of His infinite riches in Jesus He giveth and giveth and giveth again He giveth and giveth and giveth again

Bridge

You lead me beside still waters Your goodness restores my soul I know that You'll never leave me I know that You won't let go

Ending

Your mercy flows like a river, Your mercy flows like a river Your mercy flows like a river on us

Light of the world You stepped down into darkness

Opened my eyes let me see

Beauty that made this heart adore You

Hope of a life spent with You

Chorus

So here I am to worship here I am to bow down

Here I am to say that You're my God

And You're altogether lovely altogether worthy

Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days Oh so highly exalted

Glorious in heaven above

Humbly You came to the earth You created

All for love's sake became poor

Bridge

And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross

And I'll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross

Sermon

Man of sorrows Lamb of God by His own betrayed The sin of man and wrath of God has been on Jesus laid

Verse 2

Silent as He stood accused beaten mocked and scorned Bowing to the Father's will he took a crown of thorns

Chorus

Oh that rugged cross my salvation where Your love poured out over me Now my soul cries out hallelujah, praise and honour unto Thee

Verse 3

Sent of heaven God's own Son to purchase and redeem And reconcile the very ones who nailed Him to that tree

Bridge

Now my debt is paid It is paid in full By the precious blood that my Jesus spilled Now the curse of sin has no hold on me Whom the Son sets free Oh is free indeed

Verse 4

See the stone is rolled away behold the empty tomb Hallelujah God be praised He's risen from the grave

Prayers of intercession

Led by Sarah Smith

Wonderful merciful Saviour, precious Redeemer and Friend Who would have thought that a Lamb could rescue the souls of men Oh You rescue the souls of men

Chorus

You are the One that we praise, You are the One we adore You give the healing and grace our hearts always hunger for Oh our hearts always hunger for

Verse 2

Counsellor, Comforter, Keeper, Spirit we long to embrace You offer hope when our hearts have hopelessly lost the way Oh we hopelessly lost the way

Verse 3

Almighty infinite Father faithfully loving Your own Here in our weakness You find us falling before Your throne Oh we're falling before Your throne
