All Hail King Jesus
Jeremy Riddle
There was a moment when the lights went out
When death had claimed its victory
The King of love had given up His life
The darkest day in history
There on a cross, they made for sinners
For every curse, His blood atoned
One final breath and it was finished
But not the end we could have known
For the earth began to shake, and the veil was torn
What sacrifice was made, as the Heavens roared
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
There was a moment when the sky lit up
A flash of light breaking through
When all was lost He crossed eternity
The King of life was on the move
For in a dark, cold tomb, where our Lord was laid
One miraculous breath, and we're forever changed
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
And all hail the Savior of the world
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
Let every knee, come bow before the King of Kings
Let every tongue, confess that He is Lord
Lift up your shout, let us join with all of Heaven
Singing Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy
We're singing Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy
Crying out Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy
Singing Ho-Ho-Ho-Ho-Holy
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world!
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus
All hail, King Jesus
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
And all hail, King Jesus
All hail the Lord of Heaven and earth
All hail, King Jesus
All hail the Savior of the world
Good Good Father

You are perfect in all of your ways
You are perfect in all of your ways to us
Oh, it's love so undeniable
I, I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I, I can hardly think
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
As you call me deeper still
Into love, love, love

It's who I am, it's who I am it's who I am
How He Loves
John Mark McMillan
And He is jealous for me.
Love's like a hurricane. I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And, oh, how He loves us, oh.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us, oh.
And He is jealous for me.
Love's like a hurricane. I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of His wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory.
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
And, oh, how He loves us, oh.
Oh, how He loves us.
How He loves us, oh.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes.
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And Heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss.
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest.
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about the way...
That He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Yeah, He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves us.
Oh, how He loves.
Lord, I Need You
Matt Maher
Lord, I come, I confess
Bowing here I find my rest
Without You I fall apart
You're the One that guides my heart
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Where sin runs deep Your grace is more
Where grace is found is where You are
Where You are, Lord, I am free
Holiness is Christ in me
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
So teach my song to rise to You
When temptation comes my way
When I cannot stand I'll fall on You
Jesus, You're my hope and stay
Lord, I need You, oh, I need You
Every hour I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
You're my one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
My one defense, my righteousness
Oh God, how I need You
Sermon
Sentness
John 20:21 NLT
21 Again He said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so I am sending you.”
QUOTE
“There are two conversions in the Christian faith:
The first is to be called out of the world into the
Family of God, and the second is to be sent back
Into the world with the Gospel in your hands.”
- Martin Luther
Mark 16:15
“GO INTO the All the WORLD and
Preach the GOOD NEWS to
ALL creation”
Acts 2:42-47 NLT
42 All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.
43 A deep sense of awe came over them all, and the apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders. 44 And all the believers met together in one place and shared everything they had. 45 They sold their property and possessions and shared the money with those in need. 46 They worshiped together at the Temple each day, met in homes for the Lord’s Supper, and shared their meals with great joy and generosity— 47 all the while praising God and enjoying the goodwill of all the people.
And each day the Lord added to their fellowship those who were being saved.
QUOTE
“People had to be attracted from the existing
Shallow fellowship of their pagan clubs and taverns
By another fellowship which was
RICHER and MORE REWARDING”
- Tertullian
QUOTE
"How could a thousand Christians in AD 40 number 34 million by AD 350? Conversions occurred along relational networks; their care for their urban neighbors and the close knit community that led many to convert to Christianity."

Matthew 11:19 NIV
19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’
