Giving Up to Gain: Sermon #3: Giving Up Revenge Over the last three weeks, we have marveled over the beauty of the new society Jesus was initiating. No more hatred, using people, or broken promises. Sounds great, right? Well, how about adding that we don’t need to revenge on people who do us wrong (Matthew 5:28-38)? This is the freedom we can live in and invite others into!
Because of Your Love Paul Baloche
As we come into Your Presence we remember every blessing That You've poured out so freely from above
Lifting gratitude and praises for compassion so amazing Lord, we've come to give You thanks for all You've done
Because of Your love, we're forgiven Because of Your love, our hearts are clean
We lift You up with songs of freedom Forever we're changed because of Your love
As we come into Your Presence we remember every blessing That You've poured out so freely from above
Lifting gratitude and praises for compassion so amazing Lord, we've come to give You thanks for all You've done
Because of Your love, we're forgiven Because of Your love, our hearts are clean
We lift You up with songs of freedom Forever we're changed because of Your love
Because of Your love, we're forgiven Because of Your love, our hearts are clean
We lift You up with songs of freedom Forever we're changed because of Your love
When my heart is overwhelmed I will look to You alone God my rock, God my rock
You will stand when others fall You are faithful through it all God my rock, God my rock
In the blessing, in the pain through it all You’ve never failed me
You are the strength of my heart I can rely on You, I can rely on You
When I’ve struggled to believe You have not let go of me God my rock, God my rock
Carried through the darkest storms You have held me in Your arms God my rock, God my rock
In the blessing, in the pain through it all You’ve never failed me
You are the strength of my heart I can rely on You, I can rely on You
You are the joy of my life You are my song in the night There is no one as true Jesus I trust in You
When my heart is overwhelmed I will look to You alone God my rock, God my rock
You will stand when others fall You are faithful through it all God my rock, God my rock

It’s falling from the clouds A strange and lovely sound I hear it in the thunder and the rain
It’s ringing in the sky Like cannons in the night The music of the universe played…we’re singing
You are Holy, Great and Mighty The Moon and the Stars declare who You are
I’m so unworthy, but still You love me Forever my heart will sing of How great You are
Beautiful and free, the song of the galaxies Reaching far beyond the milky way
Let’s join in with the sound, Come on let’s sing it out As the music of the universe plays…singing
You are Holy, Great and Mighty The moon and the stars declare who You are
I’m so unworthy, but still You love me Forever my heart will sing of You
All Glory, Honor, Power is yours, Amen All Glory, honor, power is yours, Amen
You are Holy, Great and Mighty The Moon and the Stars declare who You are
You are Holy, Great and Mighty The Moon and the Stars declare who You are
Come thou fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount I’m fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my ebenezar Hither by Thy help I come And I hope by Thy good pleasure Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger Wandering from the fold of God He, to rescue me from danger, Interposed His precious blood
Oh to grace, how great a debtor Daily I’m constrained to be Let Thy goodness like a fetter Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it Prone to leave the God I love Here’s my heart O take and seal it Seal it for Thy courts above
Come thou fount of every blessing Tune my heart to sing Thy grace Streams of mercy never ceasing Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet Sung by flaming tongues above Praise the mount I’m fixed upon it Mount of Thy redeeming love
