Pray that God will move on us to be more evangelistic and, through our obedience in sharing the Gospel, will save many. 5. Pray for the gospel to be proclaimed and displayed in the marriages and families in our church. “The Blessing Greater than Marriage”— Isaiah 56:3-5 Pastor J. Josh Smith This coming Sunday we will conclude our sermon series Extending Eden by looking at the topic of singleness. Let me be clear: We are not tacking this message onto the end of this series to be sentimental toward singles within our church. We include this message in this series because this whole series has centered on the mission and plan of God, and singleness, just as marriage, must be aligned under His plan. The Bible has an extremely high view of singleness. Marriage is not the end; it is a means to the end of glorifying God. This is the exact same mission to which all those who are single in Christ have been called. As you prepare for Sunday, read through the following passages: 1 Corinthians 7 and Isaiah 56:4-5. How has Jesus redefined our identity and ambitions? How has He provided everything we often look for in earthly relationships? All Christians are a part of the offspring of Christ; we are members of the family of God. What implications does this have on the way single and married adults view their earthly family? This is a message that will be incredibly important for our entire church family as we learn about a family that transcends earthly marriages and progenies. -Prelude Music- Let The Church Say Amen Andraé Crouch -Praise & Adoration- Every Praise John David Bratton & Hezekiah Walker All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name Edward Parronet & Oliver Holden God Is Able Ben Fielding & Reuben Morgan -Adoration Song- Fall Afresh Jeremy Riddle Mighty Wind Andraé Crouch But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you. - John 14:26 Every Praise Chorus Every praise is to our God Every word of worship with one accord Every praise every praise is to our God Sing hallelujah to our God Glory hallelujah is to our God Every praise every praise is to our God Bridge God my Savior God my Healer God my Deliverer Yes He is yes He is (Yes He is yes He is) Ending Every praise is to our God Every word of worship with one accord Every praise every praise Every praise every praise Every praise every praise Every praise every praise Every praise every praise Every praise every praise Every praise every praise is to our God August 16, 2015 God Is Able Verse 1 God is able and He will never fail He is almighty to God Greater than all we seek, greater than all we ask He has done great things Chorus Lifted up, He defeated the grave; raised to life Our God is able, in His name we overcome For the Lord our God is able Verse 2 God is with us and God is on our side He will make away.
