Just Say You’re Sorry
Today we gather around God's Word to pray through, praise through, and preach through a piece of scripture so that we can practice to be a friend who stays.
Psalm 130:1-2
Out of the depths I call to you, Lord! Lord, listen to my voice;<br>let your ears be attentive to my cry for help.
<strong>"Lord, I'm waiting on your hope for..."</strong><br>(situation, hurt, pain, sickness, relationship, etc.)
Thank God I'm Free
I found a friend that never quits / No other loves as good as this
Why we sing it We sing knowing the hope that we have for all of eternity through Jesus.
Because He Lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow / Because He lives all fear is gone
Why we sing it <br>We look forward to seeing God face to face, when all the troubles of this life pass away.
Goodness Of God
With every breath that I am able / I will sing of the goodness of God
Why we sing it <br>Even when we don't understand our suffering, we first give praise to God for who He is.
Build My Life
Fill me with Your heart / And lead me in Your love to those around me
Why we sing it We leave practicing the love of God towards others in every area of our lives.
