JESUS IS REAL

 

Chorus 

Jesus is real!  I know the Lord is real to me! 

Jesus is real!  I know the Lord is real to me! 

 

Sometimes I’m feeling low, nowhere to go 

Jesus comes along and He makes me strong 

For I know, Oh Jesus is real! 

 

Repeat Chorus 

 

Sometimes when I’m feeling down, no one around 

Jesus is a friend 

For I know, Oh Jesus is real! 

 

I can feel Him in my hands, feel Him in my feet 

I know the Lord will take good care of me 

For I know, Oh Jesus is real! 

 

I can feel Him in my heart, feel Him in my soul 

I can even feel Him from the crown of head to my toes. 

For I know, Oh Jesus is real! 

 

Vamp 

Real!  Real!  Real!  Yes He’s real. 

I know He is.  I know He is.  I know He is.  Yes He’s real. 

Yeah!  Yeah!  Yeah!  Yes He’s real. 

I know He is.  I know He is.  I know He is.  

 

For I know, Oh  

For I know, Oh  

For I know, Oh Jesus is real! 

 

 

 

BLESSED ASSURANCE

 

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

 

Refrain:
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.
This is my story, this is my song,
praising my Savior all the day long.

 

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture now burst on my sight.
Angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

 

Perfect submission, all is at rest.
I in my Savior am happy and bless’d,
watching and waiting, looking above,
filled with his goodness, lost in his love.

 

 

 

 

 

THANK YOU LORD

 

Tragedies are common place
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
Economics down, people can't get enough pay
But as for me all I can say is
Thank you Lord for all you've done for me

Folks without homes living out in the streets

and the drug habit some say, they just can't beat
Muggers and robbers, no place seems to be safe
But You've been my protection every step of the way and I want to say
Thank you Lord for all You've done for me

(It could have been me) thank you
(Outdoors) thank you
(With no food) thank you
(And no clothes) thank you
(Or left alone) thank you
(Without a friend) thank you
(Or just another tragic number) thank you
(With a tragic end) thank you
(But you didn't see fit) thank you
(To let none of the things be) thank you
(Cause everyday by your power) thank you
(Your keep on keeping me) thank you
(And I want to say) thank you

I wanna to say thank you for love
Thank you for your power
Thank you for your protection
Every hour

 

 

SILVER AND GOLD

 

Silver and gold, silver and gold

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

No fame or fortune, no riches untold

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

 

Don't give me a mansion on top of a hill

Don't give me the world with its shallow thrills

But just give me a savior, my life He can hold

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

 

Woke up this morning feeling kind of down

I called on my best friend, she could not be found

But I called on Jesus, my life He can hold

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

 

 

MORE THAN ANYTHING 

 

I lift my hands in total adoration unto You 

You reign on the throne ‘cause You are God and God alone 

Because of You my cloudy days are gone 

I can sing to You this song 

I just want to say that I love You more than anything 

 

Love me in Your arms 

You were my shelter from the storm 

When all my friends were gone 

You were right there all along 

I’ve never known a love like this before 

I just want to say that I love You more than anything 

 

I love You Jesus 

I worship and adore You 

Just want to tell You 

Lord I love You more than anything

Summer Sermon Series : Discipleship

 

 

A “disciple” is a kind of student. It is someone who follows the teaching of, learns from and models their life after someone else — in our case, Jesus Christ Himself.

The people whom Jesus gave these essential instructions to had a pretty good understanding of what it meant to be His disciples. They had left everything to follow Him, and for three years they soaked up His instruction, experiencing incredible highs and lows as they discovered what it meant to follow their Lord.

When Jesus told His disciples to go and make disciples of all nations, they wouldn’t have seen this as a casual assignment to squeeze between other interests. This would need to become their primary focus. This must be ours as well because God gave us this assignment in the Great commission [Matthew 28": 16-20]

Join us each Sunday as we take a journey from scripture down the path of Discipleship. 

 

 

TITLE:  "Who Touched Me: Daring Faith in times of crisis"

 

SCRIPTURE READING: Mark 5:24-34

 

 

"FIRESIDE CHAT" QUESTIONS

 

1.As a Disciple of Christ what does it mean to be discerning about the crowd[s] we hang with?

 

2.Why is associating with the wrong crowd bad for your discipleship health? 

 

3.What is the connection between discipleship and " Trying to do the right thing?"

 

4.What do you do when it is God who asks you the question as in our text: who touched me ?

 

5.Why is it so important for us in our discipleship to tell someone what you have heard and what you know about Jesus?

 

6. Being able to say: "What Jesus means to me " is a measure of maturity of discipleship: Do you agree or disagree?

 

7.Discipleship involves "making disciples".  Are you engaged in this, why or why not?

 

8.Do you know where your limitation[s] ends and God's strength begins in your life?  What does this have to do with discipleship?

 

9.Why is the point of suffering in our life also the point of God's grace operating performing miracles so important to our growth in Christ?

 

10.Any idea as to what was in or behind the woman's touch of Jesus that made stop to ask the question?

 

11.What does it mean to "push through" to your blessing?

 

12.What has been your experience with "daring faith” to touch God touch the hem of his garment?  What did it do for you?

 

13.Why is "daring faith" so crucial to maturity of faith in the discipleship journey?

 

14.Why is it so hard to reach out to God.?. what prevents folk from doing it?

 

15.It is not a physical touch, but a "faith touch" that God responds to...so how do you bring that to God?
