Confidence

Confident that I will love,
Confident that I will extend grace,
Confident that I will be humble and teachable,
Confident that I will persevere,
Confident that I will grow,

not because I find confidence in myself,

but because our Lord is faithful to the end.

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word"

Have Mercy on Me





I am super excited that our praise team will be introducing Sovereign Grace Music's "Have Mercy on Me" as a part of our Sunday worship set. To the congregation: get familiar with the song. Meditate on the lyrics. Praise God that He shows mercy to to undeserving sinners who come with a broken and a contrite heart.

Verse 1 
I am a sinner; You’re blameless, Lord 
My sins against You can’t be ignored 
They will be punished, I know they must 
Your law demands it, for You are just 

Pre-Chorus 
If You would count 
Everything that I’ve done wrong 
Who could stand? 
But there’s forgiveness with You, God 

Chorus 
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me 
A broken and a contrite heart 
You won’t turn away 
Have mercy on me, have mercy on me 
Because of Your steadfast love 

Verse 2
Father of mercy, You gave Your Son 
To make atonement for wrongs I have done 
What You required, Jesus fulfilled 
I don’t deserve it—I never will
