this Sunday

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God...

... that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. (Hebrews 13:15)

Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee

Psalm 100:1-5
Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth.
Serve the LORD with gladness;
Come before Him with joyful singing.
Know that the LORD Himself is God;
It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves;
We are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Enter His gates with thanksgiving
And His courts with praise.
Give thanks to Him, bless His name.
For the LORD is good;
His lovingkindness is everlasting
And His faithfulness to all generations.

A Mighty Fortress

Psalm 18:2
The LORD is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer,
My God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.

Psalm 7:8-11
The LORD judges the peoples;
Vindicate me, O LORD, according to my righteousness
and my integrity that is in me.
O let the evil of the wicked come to an end,
but establish the righteous;
For the righteous God tries the hearts and minds.
My shield is with God,
Who saves the upright in heart.
God is a righteous judge,
And a God who has indignation every day.

Jesus Messiah

2 Corinthians 5:21
He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf,
so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

1 Peter 2:21-25
For you have been called for this purpose,
since Christ also suffered for you, l
eaving you an example for you to follow in His steps,
who committed no sin, nor was any deceit found in His mouth;
and while being reviled, He did not revile in return;
while suffering, He uttered no threats,
but kept entrusting Himself to Him who judges righteously;
and He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross,
so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness;
for by His wounds you were healed.
For you were continually straying like sheep,
but now you have returned to
the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls.

Reign Above It All

Colossians 1:13
For He rescued us from the domain of darkness,
and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,

2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said,
“Light shall shine out of darkness,”
is the One who has shone in our hearts
to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Christ.

Philippians 2:9
For this reason also,
God highly exalted Him,
and bestowed on Him the name
which is above every name,

Acts 4:12
And there is salvation in no one else;
for there is no other name under heaven
that has been given among men
by which we must be saved.”

Psalm 103:19
The LORD has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.

How Great Thou Art
