  4. All my dreams are gonna true

  5. When you're living without me

  6. And I'm trying to hold on

  7. Seems like I've lost my way

  8. I go running to your mountain

  9. Where you must be setting me free

  10. You are my strong tower

  11. A sheltered home for me

  12. Beautiful and mighty

  13. Everlasting dear

  14. You are my strong tower

  15. A fortress without wing

  16. Your name is true and holy

  17. And your face is all I see

  18. In the middle of my darkness

  19. In the midst of all my fears

  20. You are my refuge and my home

  21. That's good.

  22. A lot of things to do, a lot of preparations

  23. And I don't know about you, but I'm looking forward to 65, 70 degrees

  24. Even though we haven't had a hard winter, we've been stuck inside mostly

  25. So praise the Lord for a warm weather

  26. Anybody got another announcement they want to say or mention?

  27. Not this one.

  28. Okay, so we'll do a prayer and then we'll go into our worship

  29. The Father, Lord, thank you for this bright, beautiful day you've given us

  30. Thank you for another day to live in the life and to be here today with other people in your body

  31. We worship you.

  32. We just ask the Lord to be with us, the worship team is the leaders

  33. The pastor who speaks, he's going to come and speak to us the words that you've given up him to share for us

  34. And also Lord, be with our little ones as they separate in a little bit to go to their blessings

  35. And just ask the Lord to watch over us, keep us safe, speak to us today, Lord

  36. And I thank you for all you do for us, we give you the name of our praise

  37. Amen

  38. Let me have this one

  39. Alright, good morning everybody

  40. Good morning

  41. Good morning

  42. Good morning

  43. Good morning everybody

  44. Good morning

  45. Praise Jesus for a great, beautiful day outside

  46. Alright, so this is the time where we all have a moment to share

  47. Things that have inspired us, moments or conversations, things that we've seen throughout the week

  48. If you've got any volunteers, the moments that we've seen throughout the week that inspire you

  49. Ariana

  50. I have a song

  51. I have a good song

  52. Are you sure you want to sing?

  53. I lost my key in the greater north

  54. Alright, talk about the song

  55. In life, we get so lost, yes, in stress from work and school and trying to get to places on time

  56. That we forget how many good things God has given us

  57. Amen

  58. Yeah, that song really hits really well with me

  59. That's me with some pretty thick skin, but it's that little stuff that really gets to me some days

  60. We've got to remember that those are trials from God to make us stronger

  61. I have a song written somewhere, I'm going to read a little snippet of it, I'm not going to share a little song

  62. Just in the interest of time

  63. But I'm just going to read this first little piece of it

  64. It says the greatest pattern and example that you just showed us, what he displayed at the cross

  65. Remember when they were spitting on him, when they were hating him

  66. He said forgive them for they know not what they do

  67. Yes, he loved us anyways, he loved them anyways

  68. The times that we despise him, the times that we push them away and saying I don't want your ways, I want to do my things

  69. He loved us anyways

  70. I am forever grateful for that type of love

  71. Thank you Father God, bless my enemies, my family or my friends

  72. So we have to understand that there's so many times

  73. I can think of countless times before I got saved where I despised God, hated everything about God

  74. I thought he was out to get me, I thought he was just a big bully

  75. And yet I have learned that even though we can do that to God, he still loves us

  76. And it's that kind of love that we as Christians should have towards everyone

  77. And it is, I personally, I mean personally, I think that is the hardest thing to do

  78. Because I'm sorry, I have a very hard time loving people that curse me, that hate me, that talk down on me

  79. I have a very hard time trying to show that person love and I can't imagine anyone would be able to easily do that

  80. But that is the example that God set for us as Christians that this is the kind of love we should have

  81. And can you just imagine the amount of change in the world if everyone could have that same thought that God had when he said Jesus

  82. Was just to show love

  83. The amazing change that the world would be fixed, I mean there's so many things that

  84. There's a better place, man

  85. Yeah, and that's the thing, the world would be so much better off if we would just learn to love

  86. And you could still love somebody and disagree with them, but as long as we love each other and we care about each other

  87. We wouldn't have all this stupid stuff that we have going on right now

  88. Alright, so I was standing up here, Ariana brought a song, RJ's brought song lyrics

  89. And it's a pretty consistent theme is people are bringing inspiration from music

  90. And realizing that it's a great blessing that God has given us the creativity

  91. And all the tools we need to make amazing music to inspire and encourage other people

  92. And for Christians to take inspiration from potentially non-Christian music at times

  93. It's really amazing and a great blessing

  94. One of my favorite songs is a non-Christian song, it's a very emotional song

  95. Tommy?

  96. This is really cool, no one sent this to me, I'm Serita Lonsich

  97. I asked God to take away my habit, God said no, it's not for me to take away but for you to give it up

  98. I asked God to grant me patience, God said no, patience is a byproduct of tribulations, it isn't granted, it is learned

  99. I asked God to spare my pain, God said no, suffering draws you apart from the world that cares and brings you closer to me

  100. I asked God to give me happiness, God said no, I give you blessings, happiness is up to you

  101. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy in life, God said no, I will give you life so that you may enjoy all things

  102. I asked God to help me love others as much as he loves me, God said ah finally you get the idea my child

  103. And I'll finish with this verse, Romans 8, 38, 39

  104. Fright convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither present nor the future nor any powers

  105. neither height nor death nor anything else in all creation will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord

  106. I think Paul just put it out there, that's everything, he didn't misbehave, that nothing could separate us from the love of Christ that's in Jesus

  107. Alright always share this and share it to yourself, share it to God and share it with somebody else, what are you convinced about, think about it

  108. Alright, anybody else got anything before we get back into worship?

  109. Alright I'm going to pray, we're going to go with the offering to worship

  110. Lord thank you for this day, thank you for this beautiful heart you've given us to live on

  111. The love you provided for us, you're your son for us

  112. We need your help Lord and I pray that you would give it to us to show that same love to others around us

  113. People who curse us, people who may dislike us or hate us or come against us

  114. We know that you love them, we want to love them the same way you love them Lord

  115. You help us to not take for granted all the moments that we live, I know I do it all the time

  116. But every moment you've created for us, so beautiful Lord, I'm so grateful for it

  117. I pray that you would bless the tithes and offerings, be with us as we go out in the world

  118. You bring us comfort with some Lord, would you say amen
