I Will Build My Church (10-04-2020)

Hymns

All In All

By: Dennis Jernigan

1.
You are my strength
When I am weak,
You are the treasure that I seek,
You are my all in all;
Seeking you as a precious jewel,
Lord, to give up I’d be a fool,
You are my all in all.

Chorus
Jesus, Lamb of God,
Worthy is Your name;
Jesus, Lamb of God,
Worthy is Your name.

2.
Taking my sin,
My cross, my shame,
Rising again; I bless Your name,
You are my all in all;
When I fall down You pick me up,
When I am dry You fill my cup,
You are my all in all.

Unashamed

By: Douglas Kaine Mckelvey, Jon Neufeld, Tim Neufeld

1.
I have not much
To offer You,
Not near what You deserve;
But still I come
Because Your cross
Has placed in me my worth.

2.
Oh Christ, my King of sympathy
Whose wounds secure my peace,
Your grace extends
To call me friend,
Your mercy sets me free.

Chorus
And I know I’m weak,
I know I’m unworthy
To call upon Your name,
But because of grace,
Because of your mercy,
I stand here unashamed.

3.
I can’t explain
This kind of love,
I’m humbled and amazed,
That You’d come down
From heavens heights
And greet me face to face.

Bridge
Here I am at Your feet,
In my brokenness complete.

Matthew 16:13-28

13 Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” 14 And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” 15 He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” 16 Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” 17 And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” 20 Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ.

21 From that time Jesus began to show his disciples that he must go to Jerusalem and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised. 22 And Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him, saying, “Far be it from you, Lord! This shall never happen to you.” 23 But he turned and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.”

24 Then Jesus told his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. 25 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. 26 For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come with his angels in the glory of his Father, and then he will repay each person according to what he has done. 28 Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.”
