00:03:14.000 |
Please bow your head with me for a word of prayer. 00:03:21.500 |
And God, we regularly want to lift you up and thank you 00:03:34.500 |
And God, we continue just to request from your spirit, God, 00:03:38.000 |
that you would grant to us deep understanding, 00:03:42.000 |
God, that you grant to us conviction of mind and heart. 00:03:46.000 |
And from there, God, it would keep growing into faith, 00:03:49.500 |
application, ultimately changing and maturing in such a way, 00:03:56.500 |
And today, as we begin a new book and a new series 00:04:00.500 |
of the Book of Philemon, I ask God that, again, you 00:04:08.500 |
powerful and lasting truths that you have for us. 00:04:12.000 |
We want to thank you, Lord, and lift this time up to you. 00:04:26.500 |
(SINGING) Jesus Christ, I think upon your sacrifice. 00:04:42.500 |
You became nothing, poured out to death many times. 00:05:09.500 |
And once again, I look upon the cross where you died. 00:05:16.000 |
I'm humbled by your mercy, and I'm broken inside. 00:05:36.500 |
And now you are exalted to the highest place, 00:06:07.500 |
Once again, I look upon the cross where you died. 00:06:17.500 |
I'm humbled by your mercy, and I'm broken inside. 00:06:31.500 |
Once again, I look upon the cross where you died. 00:06:38.500 |
I'm humbled by your mercy, and I'm broken inside. 00:08:46.500 |
The full supply I find as I move closer to the heart of God 00:09:01.000 |
to strengthen me, to nourish me, and to fill my mind with it. 00:09:15.500 |
I've truly grown, but even so, my hunger hasn't gone away. 00:10:57.000 |
Just giving a few announcements before we break off and begin 00:11:02.500 |
Please keep in mind that this weekend is a little bit full, 00:11:10.500 |
We're going to be having-- the members meeting is at 1:30. 00:11:13.500 |
So we didn't want there to be too much drag time in between 00:11:18.500 |
So 1:30 it'll start, and then afterwards, there's going to be 00:11:22.000 |
the service fair, where you can visit with the various service 00:11:26.500 |
team leaders and find out more about opportunities to serve 00:11:32.500 |
Please also note, for those of you who are new to the church, 00:11:36.000 |
there's going to be a special welcome lunch for the newcomers, 00:11:42.500 |
So all you have to do is email welcometeam@briancc.com to RSVP, 00:11:48.000 |
and you'll get to find out various things about the church 00:11:51.500 |
and meet also core members of the church as well. 00:11:54.000 |
The last thing, again, because we're trying to push for our 00:11:57.000 |
all-church retreat, please make sure you look at your calendar, 00:12:00.000 |
set it, and register, and also submit the payment as well. 00:12:05.500 |
Please go into your discussions on overview of Philemon and any 01:00:51.000 |
All right, for those of you guys who are in the rooms, please go ahead and come on into the main room for a recap study.
