Closing Song:
He Leadeth Me # 330

Key verses this week:
Psalms 139:7-12 - Our God is so great, He will guarantee that there will never be a time we are without Him.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?  Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,”
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

Colossians 1:16-18 - Jesus is "Above All"
16 For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

Sunday, September 8th Order of Worship at Zion Bible Church

Opening Song:
Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)

Worship Set:
Standing on the Promises # 147
Jesus Is All the World to Me # 28
As the Deer

Closing Hymn:
The Way of the Cross Leads Home # 162
 
Our theme verse today is John 14:6 -
"Jesus answered, 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.'"
 
With this promise of salvation, comes a promise that is also dangerous - if we depend on anything else other than Jesus' and His finished work on the cross, we will never make it to heaven.  We do not have to depend our enough good works, nor should we depend on anyone else who is not God's only Son.  Jesus' greatest promise it that He is our way, our only way.  Thus, we need to look to the cross for our way home.
 
The refrain of the song Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me) contains more promises we can depend on:
 
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day
