He Is Exalted
Verse
He is exalted
The King is exalted on high I will praise him
He is exalted forever exalted And I will praise His name
Pre chorus
He is the Lord
Forever His truth shall reign
Heaven and earth rejoice in His Holy name
Chorus
He is exalted
The King exalted on high
His Mercy Is More
Verse 1
What love could remember, no wrongs we have done
Omniscient, all-knowing, He counts not their sum
Thrown into a sea without bottom or shore
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Verse 2
What patience would wait as we constantly roam
What Father so tender is calling us home
He welcomes the weakest, the vilest, the poor
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Chorus
Praise the Lord His mercy is more
Stronger than darkness New every morn’
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Verse 3
What riches of kindness He lavished on us
His blood was the payment
His life was the cost
We stood ‘neath a debt we could never afford
Our sins they are many, His mercy is more
Great Things
Verse 1
To God be the glory great things He has done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate that all may go in
Verse 2
To God be the glory for wisdom and grace
That chose us and made us the heirs of His name
He justified freely His daughters and sons
And gave us His Spirit the seal of His love
Chorus
Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Through our Savior Jesus Christ
He has raised us up to a glorious hope
Rejoice you ransomed ones
Great things He has done
Verse 3
To God be the glory He joined us with Christ
We share in His death and we're hid in His life
We stand in His righteousness never our own
And sit with Him now on His heavenly throne
Be Lifted Up
Verse
Be lifted up be lifted up
As we bow down be lifted up
Be lifted up be lifted up
As we bow down be lifted up
Chorus 1
Let the heavens rejoice let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth tremble for you are God
Come and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
Chorus 2
Let the heavens rejoice let the nations be glad
Let the whole earth tremble for you are God
Come and worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness
As we bow down be lifted up
1 Corinthians 12:12–27 ESV
The Church: The Body of Christ
1 Corinthians 12:12–27
1. In the Body of Christ there is: Unity
The body is one but there are no divisions in the body. Unity is essential for the health of the body.
1 Corinthians 1:10
Matthew 12:25
2. In the Body of Christ there is: Diversity
The diversity of the church is something we see from the very beginning. The wealthy, poor, educated, uneducated, free, slave, male, female, were all a part of the church. They were all indispensable parts of the church family. They each brought unique gifts and a unique understanding of the culture around them.
Isaiah 28:16
1 Corinthians 11:17–18
John 13:34
3. In the Body of Christ there is: Interdependence
Disconnected we’re random body parts without a body to connect to. Connected, we are the body of Christ. The body is much greater than the sum of the parts. Each part is essential for the body to function properly.
Romans 12:14–21
- Think about how easily divisions can arise in a church. What causes them?
- When we look at how a church is defined in the Bible why is it important to understand who we are and what is our mission
- How important is a diverse church body to reaching our community?
- Do I understand that God made me the way I am for a purpose?
- How can you connect with other parts of the body of Christ that you don’t understand?
- How are you connected to others who complement your gifts and talents?
- How can we, as a church, live out the Body of Christ imagery to show our community the love of Jesus?
