WHEN TROUBLE COMES

WHEN TROUBLE COMES
When trouble comes, it will and does
What will you do, to survive and move forward?
Will you rely on family ties, money, job, or fame?
Will you pray?  Will God answer?  What would God say?  

Our Father, God, has spoken in Jesus Christ
He is the way, the truth and life-Jesus is the only way to the Father
He says He loves us and will stand with us
To prove His love He died for us so that we might have forgiveness for sin

Christ is our Savior and He brings us mercy from God
Mercy is the Lord’s characteristic way He deals with His children
The Lord speaks comfort to us-He will bind up our wounds-He cares for you and me
When trouble comes Jesus seeks to comfort us in our affliction

Jesus is our resource when trouble comes-no matter what kind of trouble it is
Jesus seeks to help us-His comfort comes to us-Greater the problem-Greater the comfort
He provides the resource we need so that we can glorify the Father
As we go forward we will comfort those in need as we ourselves were comforted

Will trouble come our way?  Yes
What do we do with our troubles?  Turn to Jesus
Jesus delivers us from our trouble or He will see us through them
When trouble comes the only way is with Jesus

LIFE COMES FROM JESUS

Destruction is certain for the leaders who say all is fine
They rewrite God’s Word and speak soothing refrains to one and all
They see no reason to bend the knee to Jesus
They say there are many ways to God
Sitting in jaded seats they write and teach
Outside the children are dying and going to hell
Who will feed them? Who will care for their needs?

Twenty seven hundred years ago Ezekiel said the Shepherd was coming
He would heal the hurting, feed the poor, care for the broken
Christ would lead God’s children home, He was the Shepherd
He came two thousand years ago, the Shepherd is here
He is alive today, He came for you
His children hear His voice, He will care for them
Jesus is Lord, He will care for you, He is our Shepherd

How about your life? Is Christ in charge of your life?
If you ask Him to forgive you of your sin Jesus will save you
He will never forget you, He will not leave you alone, He gives you life eternal
Christ calls us to gather together in the Church, His bride
We become His hands and feet-He is the great Shepherd
We are His hands and feet-we care for the poor, the sick, the lost
Our job is to profess Christ every moment of every day-Jesus is Lord

God’s Church-the Body of Christ-is different than the world
If Christ isn’t the Head it is simply an organization
Christ calls us, pushes us to care for those around us
Someone in need is our responsibility
We pray, we study, we worship, we grow in Christlikeness
Everyday we live we care for others as if they were us
We are the Shepherds-Christ our example is our Shepherd

JESUS BRINGS THE GOOD NEWS

JESUS BRINGS THE GOOD NEWS
Jesus came to preach the Good News
“The time has come
The kingdom is near
Turn from your sins and believe this Good News”

A word of hope you can believe
If you stand firm
Assuring you of what you’ve heard
Christ has come, God’s presence is here

A foundation of peace
To prepare our way
Everyday we will experience God’s peace
Quieting our hearts, comforting our souls

A life filled with love
The Lord has overwhelmed us with His love
More than 7,000 promises in His WORD
Jesus died in our place freeing us from slavery to sin-God loves you

We have a new life-no longer under the stain of sin-
By His grace we are saved
Death cannot harm us-we have eternal life in Jesus
Christ has come and taken the sting out of death-do not be afraid

Now we are partners with Christ - spreading the Good News
Christ has made us part of God’s family
Our old life is gone-all things have been made new
We can do the will of the Father-Jesus is our Lord

THE BIBLE-Psalm 119:1-8

May 26, 2012
Clay Corvin

A song of Scripture instructing us, live this way for joy and peace,

Keep your focus on the Lord, His law, His word, let obedience be your way

Love the Lord and His Word will draw you like a magnet, pulling you to fellowship

Strengthening, encouraging, guiding, enlightening, the Lord will walk with you

 

Bend your knee to His law, making sure you are following His path

When you know Him you will know His way and walking in it will be your way

His will, your hearts desire, you will not hesitate from the right way

Easily living filled with the Lord, His Word echoing in your heart

 

Know His law, Know His way and walk in it and His light will shine on you

The Lord will carefully equip you as you do His will, holiness your companion

It will be natural, life giving, others will seek you out, watching your obedience

Choose God’s way, surrender to His holiness, let His light shine through you

 

Humility is a characteristic of a holy one, God’s presence calls us to learn

We seek to know Him more, our love for Him creates love for others

The true picture of a holy one, Christ on the Cross dying for you and me

True holiness equips us to live and die, the world is cold and lonely

 

A song of Scripture calling us to grow in Christ, suffer with Him

By His strength we will endure, by His stripes we were healed

Lord I do believe, help my unbelief, Christ is King in us and for us

Know the Lord, Come Christ calls, come and die with me

SIMPLE TRUTHS

May 12, 2012
Clay Corvin
General

Life is not forever
Every life will end in death if Jesus tarries
Live life to the fullest each day
Remember that death is coming
Faster than you know
As surely as day follows night
Death is on the way

Don’t treat each day as your last
Live each day knowing you will one day die
Do what matters
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Let go of yourself and see the need people have
Meet that need
It will energize you, the Lord will see you thru

Death is not forever
If Christ has your life
Death will result in life
Eternal life, lasting beyond forever
The Lord will be with you
When death rears its ugly head
Christ will reach out to you and real life will begin

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Clay Corvin

I want riches, friends, the good life: what do I do?
Seek first His kingdom & His righteousness
All these things will be given to you as well
I’m all alone, no one cares:
Jesus died for you that you might have life
It’s too hard:
He will wipe away every tear
Don’t let life toss you aside,
Give your heart to Jesus and He will abide
You will never be alone
Where ever you are will be home
No one can destroy you
Nothing can take you away from Jesus
Keep the Son in your eyes,
Darkness will not overwhelm you
Take Him all of your cares
Jesus will take them from you and heal you
Every day with Jesus,
Is sweeter than the day before
Let Jesus have your heart
You will never have a broken heart
Tell Him your troubles
Jesus will walk thru the fire with you
The Lord be with you
The Lord be with your spirit

THE FUTURE

May 5, 2012
Clay Corvin
General

The Future is anchored in the present
We seek to do and be
Reaching out to dreams and visions
Filled with ernest desire
Lord what should I do?

Live your life based on God’s rule
Knowing His commandments
Writing them on your heart
Using them to evaluate life
Love the Lord with all of your heart

Chaos comes calling so often
His Word gives me strength for today
Building a solid foundation
That I might live with Him
Letting the world know I belong to Christ

Joy will walk with me
In good times and bad 
Riches will overflow my life
Prayer will change me
Bringing me closer to Jesus

The choice is mine
Do the next right thing
Jesus is Lord
Christ be Lord of my life
I surrender to YOU

JESUS LIVES

April 7, 2012
Clay Corvin
General

He lived our life of pain and strife, knowing what we face
Jesus was our sacrifice; He paid our price so we would have life
He died for us, raised by the power of God, He lives for us

He is our living savior, ministering to us, living in us
Interceding with the Father, forgiving us
Calling us to be partners in ministry, we are His hands and feet

We are not alone, all our troubles Christ will own, He knows our pain
He gives His life, peace, love and hope; a different way of life
Life eternal, no shadow from our past, confidence today, no fear for tomorrow

Christ abides, equipping us to change, to be like Him
We will suffer, Christ suffers with us
Life will be worthwhile, Jesus gives us His victory

Nothing can destroy us, we belong to God
Christ is our elder brother, He is our strength, He shows us the way
Hope becomes real, life has a purpose, we live because He lives in us

Great is His faithfulness, He never wearies of our life
Jesus is Lord every minute and it isn’t based on our deeds
Christ is our living hope, Jesus is alive, He is alive in you and me

New in Christ
Raised from death
I belong
God has a hold on me
Jesus is my Lord

His truth echoes throughout eternity

Christ is THE savior
Jesus is my Lord

God is a gracious Lord

United with Christ, a member of God’s family
Speaking to Him so that I can deal with daily strife
Giving my heart to Him, He knows me and cares for me
He marks my path, He provides my victory, His way is LIFE
Jesus is my Lord

His work is done in me
Growing into Christ likeness is my joy
He uses me, to be His hands and feet
I am the only Jesus many will see
Jesus is my Lord

One day soon I will stand face to face
Christ will hold my hand
Father this is our child Christ says
Welcome the Father declares
Jesus is my Lord
