Song 1: What An Awesome God
Song by Phil Wickham

God is great, give Him all the praise
Hallelujah, Name above all names
Fire in His eyes, healing in His veins
Everywhere, His glory on display
Take a look at those stars, He can name 'em all
Before His throne every knee falls
The demons have to run, the angels have to praise
Even the winds and waves obey


Our God is an awesome God, He reigns (He reigns)
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God (our God)
Our God (our God) is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom (with wisdom), power, and love
Our God is an awesome God


And even when I ran, He didn't run away
He came and put death back in its place
Friday on a cross, broken for my shame
Sunday morning rose up from that grave
Take a look at those scars on His hands and feet
He saved our souls for eternity
Worthy is the Lamb, glory to the King
Oh, let all the saints and the angels sing


Our God is an awesome God, He reigns
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God (our God) is an awesome God, He reigns (He reigns)
From Heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God


Eyes on the sky, there will be a day
He will come and wipe our tears away
No more fear, no more pain
No more sorrow, sin or shame
The King is coming back again
A reign of love that will never end
For everything You've done and everything You do
And everything You are, I'll sing to You


My God, You're an awesome God
You're great in all You do
I'm made to worship You
My God, You're an awesome God
What an awesome, awesome God You are
No one like You, none beside You
God, we worship You


You're worthy, You're worthy
(With wisdom, power, and love) with wisdom, power, and love
(Our God is an awesome God) oh, forever we sing


Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God (yes, our God is an awesome God)
Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God


Our God, what an awesome God 
Song 2: Build My Life
Song by Housefires

Worthy of every song we could ever sing
Worthy of all the praise we could ever bring
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, oh, we live for You

Jesus, the Name above every other name
Jesus, the only One who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, we live for You

Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me

Jesus, the Name above every other name
Jesus, the only One who could ever save
Worthy of every breath we could ever breathe
We live for You, oh, we live for You

Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me

And I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
And I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken
And I will build my life upon Your love
It is a firm foundation
And I will put my trust in You alone
And I will not be shaken

Holy, there is no one like You
There is none beside You
Open up my eyes in wonder
And show me who You are
And fill me with Your heart
And lead me in Your love to those around me

I will build my life upon You

Lead me in Your love
Song 3: What A God
Song by SEU Worship

VERSE 1
Who thought I’d find You
At the lowest place
Who thought You’d feel me in the crowd
Who knew You’d make good
Of my mistakes
You’re nothing like I thought You were
You’re better

CHORUS
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God

VERSE 2
I thought You’d show up for perfection
Cause what kind of God
Looks for the lost
They say it’s over for a sinner
But You said
No it’s not no it’s not

TAG
You said
No it’s not no it’s not

CHORUS
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God
What a God, what a God

BRIDGE 1
If the highest place I reached is at Your feet
Then I've done it all
If the best thing that I’ve seen is Your glory
Then I’ve seen it all
Your love has changed my life
Forever satisfied
God You are my everything

BRIDGE 2
If one word is the only thing You speak
Then I’ve heard it all
If I feel Your heart and never see Your hand
I still have it all
No treasure of this life
Could ever satisfy
God You are my everything

REFRAIN
God You are my everything
God You are my everything
Song 4: Good & Gracious King
Song by City Alight

I approach the throne of glory
Nothing in my hands, I bring
But the promise of acceptance
From a good and gracious King

I will give to You my burden
As You give to me Your strength
Come and fill me with Your Spirit
As I sing to You this praise

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty-handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy, I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You're a good and gracious King

O what grace that You would see me
As Your child and as Your friend
Safe, secure in You forever
I pour out my praise again

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty-handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy, I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You're a good and gracious King

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King

Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious
Good and gracious
Holy, holy, Lord Almighty
Good and gracious King

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome, I lift my voice
To the King in need of nothing
Empty-handed I rejoice

You deserve the greater glory
Overcome with joy, I sing
By Your love I am accepted
You're a good and gracious King

You're a good and gracious King
You're a good and gracious King
Song 5: Christ & Christ Crucified
Song by Dustin Smith

The wages of my sin was death
You knew I couldn't pay the debt
You paid it with Your final breath
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

You took the wrath that I deserved
Your holy blood broke every curse
Your mercy had the final word
Oh, hallelujah, hallelujah

We sing Christ and Christ crucified
In You, we're raised from death to life
We sing Christ and Christ crucified
Hallelujah, hallelujah

No sin is bigger than Your blood
No shame is stronger than Your love
You said, "It's finished, it is done"
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, I know death couldn't keep You in the ground, mm
You rose in power, took Hell down
The power's living in us now
Hallelujah, hallelujah

We sing Christ and Christ crucified
In You, we're raised from death to life
We sing Christ and Christ crucified
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Oh, yes
You're alive, You're alive, Jesus
Hmm, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah

Oh, death couldn't hold You down
Hell couldn't steal Your crown
And there's resurrection power
In Your name, in Your name

Let all the earth cry out, lift up a holy sound
Give all the glory now to Jesus' name, Jesus' name

Death couldn't hold You down
Hell couldn't steal Your crown
And there's resurrection power
In Your name, in Your name

Let all the earth cry out (we gotta) lift up a holy sound
Give all the glory now to Jesus' name, Jesus' name

We sing Christ and Christ crucified
In You (only You), we're raised (we're raised) from death to life
We sing Christ and Christ crucified
Hallelujah, hallelujah

We sing Christ and Christ crucified
In You, we're raised from death to life
We sing Christ and Christ crucified
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Prayer Requests

We will pray for every request. It's an honor to approach the Throne of Grace on your behalf, for whatever is going on in your life.

Next Steps

You were created to grow in your relationship with Christ, and we want to be a part of that journey. Here are a few practical and personal next steps—as well as some to get better connected with our Church:
  • 1️⃣ Put your faith in Jesus Christ! If you haven't already made a profession of faith in Christ, this is where we all start. Confess your sins to God, repent (turn) from your sins and turn to Him. The death of Christ on the Cross provides atonement and forgiveness for your sins. Rejoice! (Romans 10:9-10).
  • 📖 Read your Bible everyday. Spend time with the Lord. Ask Him to give you understanding about what you're reading. Journal along with your reading.
  • 🙏 Spend time in Prayer. Pray for your day, pray for others, ask God for His provision, protection, etc. He loves to hear His people pray.
  • 😊 Give thanks! This is very underrated. Practice giving thanks for "every good gift" (James 1:17) from the Lord in your life. Maturity will be giving thanks even for the hard things, but this too will soon make sense.
  • 🙌 Worship the Lord. Worship should become a natural growing desire as you walk with the Lord. Worship is not just singing praise to God, it's a lifestyle! (1 Corinthians 10:31).
  • ⛪️ Keep coming to Church. The Church exists to help us grow, to equip us, to train us in Godliness, to feed our souls, and for so much more!
  • 📝 Take notes in Church. Listen to the messages, take notes, write down questions, ask them, dive deeper... All these things will help you grow.
  • 💬 Talk with a Pastor or Leader after service. We will always hang around after service to meet and talk to anyone who wants to be here and walk with Jesus.
  • ⚡️ Get plugged into smaller groups. Find a group you can connect with. Call and text with others from church. We all need people in our corner.
  • ✝️ Share your faith. We are made to be conduits of God's grace, not cul-de-sacs. Your faith will be strengthened as you share it with others. God has commanded us to "go into all the world" (Matthew 28:18-20) and share the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.
  • 💯 Become a part of the Church. No more spectating—get in the game—be committed! We would love to be "your church". Click the button below to get better connected:

Giving

God loves a cheerful giver! (2 Corinthians 9:7) The Church exists because of the generosity of it's members who are a conduit of God's grace.
Thank you for giving to us and through us.

But wait, there's more

Stick around after service for some fellowship! We will have snacks, refreshments, coffee, great people, and great views. Also, here's some links to other things you might want to know about our Church 🙂.

See you next week!

Stay anchored.
