“The Wonderful Cross”
When I survey the wondrous cross on which the Prince of Glory died, my richest gain I count but loss, and pour contempt on all my pride. See from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; did e’er such love and sorrow meet, or thorns compose so rich a crown?
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross bids me come and die and find that I may truly live. O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross; all who gather here by grace draw near and bless Your name.
Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small. Love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all. O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross bids me come and die and find that I may truly live.
O the wonderful cross, O the wonderful cross; all who gather here by grace draw near and bless Your name. CCLI Song # ©2000 worshiptogether.com songs\sixsteps Music. CCLI License #

“In Christ Alone”
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my light, my strength, my song. This Cornerstone, this solid ground, firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace, when fears are stilled, when strivings cease. My Comforter, my All in all, here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh, fullness of God in helpless babe! This gift of love and righteousness, scorned by the ones He came to save.
‘Til on the cross, as Jesus died, the wrath of God was satisfied. For every sin on Him was laid. Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay; Light of the world, by darkness slain. Then, bursting forth in glorious day, up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory, sin’s curse has lost its grip on me. For I am His and He is mine, bought with the precious blood of Christ.
No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me. From life’s first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny.
No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand. ‘Til He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I’ll stand.
No power of hell, no scheme of man, can ever pluck me from His hand. ‘Til He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I’ll stand. CCLI Song # ©2001 Thankyou Music. CCLI License #
Jesus’ Resurrection: the First Day of New Creation I Corinthians 15:1-11 and I Corinthians 15: Pew Bible, pp. 1131, 1137.
I Corinthians 15:1-58. I. The Facts & the Truth about Jesus’ Resurrection ~ vss * II. The Resurrection of the Dead ~ vss * III. Resurrection Life ~ vss IV. Future Resurrection for All Believers ~ vss V. Encouragement ~ vs. 58
Today’s Key Idea: Jesus’ resurrection can make all things new... including you!
In I Corinthians 15, you and I discover the answers to three basic “What?” Questions about the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
First “What?” Question: “What really happened that First Easter?”
Second “What?” Question “So what? What does it matter?” Fact: there are major implications of Jesus’ resurrection!
1 Corinthians 15:45 “So it is written: ‘The first man Adam became a living being’; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.” Risen Jesus =’s Last Adam
Third “What?” Question “Now what? What should I do with Jesus’ resurrection?”
Take-Away Jesus’ resurrection: it can make all things new… including you!
Every head bowed, and all eyes closed, please.
“Lion Of Judah”
You’re the Lion of Judah, the Lamb Who was slain. You ascended to Heaven and evermore will reign. At the end of the age when the earth You reclaim, You will gather the nations before You.
And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb Who was crucified. With wisdom and mercy and justice You’ll reign at Your Father’s side.
And the angels will cry, “Hail the Lamb, Who was slain for the world. Rule in power.” And the earth will reply, “You shall reign as the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.”
There’s a shield in our hand and a sword at our side. There’s a fire in our spirit that cannot be denied. ‘Cause the Father has told us, “For these You have died— for the nations who gather before You.”
And the ears of all men need to hear of the Lamb Who was crucified. Who descended to hell, yet was raised up to reign at His Father’s side.
And the angels will cry, “Hail the Lamb, Who was slain for the world. Rule in power.” And the earth will reply, “You shall reign as the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.”
And the eyes of all men will be fixed on the Lamb Who was crucified. With wisdom and mercy and justice You’ll reign at Your Father’s side.
And the angels will cry, “Hail the Lamb, Who was slain for the world. Rule in power.” And the earth will reply, “You shall reign as the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords.”
As the King of all kings and the Lord of all lords. CCLI Song # , “Lion of Judah”. ©1997 Daybreak Music, Ltd. CCLI License #
