HYMN He’s Alive

HYMN I’ve Just Seen
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yEW4EVvFNXo
SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 25:6-9
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken.
It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
HYMN Then Came The Morning
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR3U9VMvkSY
SCRIPTURE: Psalm 118:14-24 (NIV)
The Lord is my strength and my defense;
he has become my salvation.
Shouts of joy and victory
resound in the tents of the righteous:
The Lord’s right hand is lifted high;
the Lord’s right hand has done mighty things!”
I will not die but live,
and will proclaim what the Lord has done.
The Lord has chastened me severely,
but he has not given me over to death.
Open for me the gates of the righteous;
I will enter and give thanks to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord
through which the righteous may enter.
I will give you thanks, for you answered me;
you have become my salvation.
The stone the builders rejected
has become the cornerstone;
The Lord has done this,
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
The Lord has done it this very day;
let us rejoice today and be glad.
HYMN More Than Wonderful

PRAYER
Holy God, we know the power of redemption. Jesus accepted death on the cross to break the hold of death over us. Though the power of the Spirit, each of us are raised from sin by bringing us to repentance. We ask for forgiveness. In your grace, walk with us in each of our every struggle and continue to transform us to be faith-filled.
God who raised Jesus to new life, we ask for the needs of: each other, the church, our nation and the world. We ask that you continue to protect President Trump and Vice President Pence and their families physically, mentally and spiritually. Continue to give wisdom to President Trump and Vice President Pence. Provide them with the courage to faithfully persevere in honoring their commitments to You and ‘we the people.’
Give this administration insight to first strengthen our nation to heal our land in order to have available resources to heal other nations. Give President Trump, Vice-President Pence and their Administration ability to break the evil power-hold from individuals within the ‘deep-state’ that even now are attempting to undermine the rule of law and order in our nation.
Help each citizen recognize their unique responsibility to maintain the freedom you have given each citizen within the United States. Let your Spirit help us in our witness to the world it is truly in God that we put our personal and national trust. We rejoice and pray with in the name of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Amen
HYMN We Shall Behold Him
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KZ3H3lg9NZM
SCRIPTURE: 1 Corinthians 15:35-49 NIV
But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else.
But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.
The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.

OH HOLY FATHER, we thank YOU for paying our debt and we ask YOU spare our nation's debt as You did ours. We have lost touch with Your love and our Faith in You. We ask Your help in finding that Love and Faith once more. We are ashamed to have strayed so far from You and Your teachings. Our nation is no longer a light from atop a hill; it has been dimmed by the dark shadows which surround us. Blow the darkness away that we may see LIGHT once again.
