…at Longboat Key…
…at Lido Key…
…on Anna Marie Island…
I’m really relaxed now, Lord! Thank You for a great vacation! You’re scenery is beautiful!!
Ok…
If this isn’t a…
“Sermon-In-A-Song…
I don’t know what is!!!
I could play this over & over!!
Crowder told The Christian Post
that the track brings listeners closer to God.
“What I love about
‘Come As You Are’
is that it makes room for all of us,”
the singer revealed.
“It feels like it throws the doors wide open…
“When you talk about invitations,
an invite much bigger and grander
than what you know and experience,
‘Come As You Are’
feels like one that throws the door open really wide…”
So Come!!
AMEN!!
Come out of sadness
From wherever you’ve been
Come broken hearted
Let rescue begin
Come find your mercy
Oh, sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh, wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table
Come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary
Rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t cure
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh, wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Fall in His arms
Come as you are
There’s joy for the morning
Oh, sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That Heaven can’t heal
So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh, wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
Oh, yes!!
I come, Lord Jesus, I come!
Revelation 22:17
“The Spirit and the bride say,
“Come!”
And let the one who hears say,
“Come!”
Let the one who is thirsty come;
and let the one
who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.”
Psalm 19:14
“May these words of my mouth
and this meditation of my heart
be pleasing in Your sight,
Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.”
Jesus,
You are my Redeemer
You have paid the price
You have delivered us from bondage
You have set things right!
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
Whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Well, I know my Redeemer lives
I know my Redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
This life within me cries
I know my Redeemer lives
The very same God
That spins things in orbit
Runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
And the same gentle hands that hold me when I’m broken
They conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know, my Redeemer lives
He lives
To take away my shame
And He lives
Forever I’ll proclaim
That the payment for my sins
Was the precious life He gave
And now He’s alive and
There’s an empty grave!
I know, that I know, that I know, that I know, that I know
He lives
My Redeemer lives
Because He lives I can face tomorrow
He lives
I know, I know
He lives
I spoke with Him this morning!
He lives
The tomb is empty
He Lives!
I’m going to tell everybody!!
Job 38
Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said…
“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
…Who shut up the sea behind doors…when I said,
‘This far you may come and no farther”…
…Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
…Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
…Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
…Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you,
‘Here we are’?
…Who provides food for the raven
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?”
Job 19:25
“I know that my Redeemer lives,
and that in the end He will stand on the earth.”
Amen!
Tell everyone!!

Numbers 6:23-26
“The Lord bless you
and keep you;
the Lord make His Face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
the Lord turn His Face toward you
and give you peace.”
My Savior!
Your Savior!
The Savior of The World!
John 1:28-29
“This all happened at Bethany
on the other side of the Jordan,
where John was baptizing.
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him
and said,
‘Look, the Lamb of God,
who takes away the sin of the world!'”
John 3:16-17
“For God so loved the world
that He gave His One and Only Son,
that whoever believes in Him
shall not perish
but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son into the world
to condemn the world,
but to save the world through Him.”
2 Corinthians 5:15
“And He died for all,
that those who live
should no longer live for themselves
but for Him who died for them
and was raised again.”
Walked dirty streets…
Not famous…
“Come”
They came…
Ordinary face…
But different…
Leads
All say…
There He goes…
Hero…
Savior to the world!
Scars in His hands…
Gave His life…
We’re free!
The Savior of the world!
Authority…
Walked on water…
Spoke and calmed the storm…
Touch heals…
Called hypocrite…
Dead behind the stone…
Left curtain torn…
There He goes…,
Hero…
Savior to the world!
Chose the cross…
For the lost, broken, and needy
Forgiving all!
Angel said, “Have no fear…
He’s not here!”
Isaiah 53
“Who has believed our message
and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?
He grew up before Him like a tender shoot,
and like a root out of dry ground.
He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him,
nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him.
He was despised and rejected by mankind,
a man of suffering, and familiar with pain.
Like one from whom people hide their faces
He was despised, and we held Him in low esteem.
Surely He took up our pain
and bore our suffering,
yet we considered Him punished by God,
stricken by Him, and afflicted.
But He was pierced for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on Him,
and by His wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the Lord has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all.
He was oppressed and afflicted,
yet He did not open His mouth;
He was led like a lamb to the slaughter,
and as a sheep before its shearers is silent,
so He did not open His mouth.
By oppression and judgment He was taken away.
Yet who of His generation protested?
For He was cut off from the land of the living;
for the transgression of my people He was punished.
He was assigned a grave with the wicked,
and with the rich in His death,
though He had done no violence,
nor was any deceit in His mouth.
Yet it was the Lord’s Will to crush Him and cause Him to suffer,
and though the Lord makes His life an offering for sin,
He will see His offspring and prolong His days,
and the Will of the Lord will prosper in His hand.
After He has suffered,
He will see the light of life and be satisfied;
by His knowledge my righteous servant will justify many,
and He will bear their iniquities.
Therefore I will give Him a portion among the great,
and He will divide the spoils with the strong,
because He poured out His life unto death,
and was numbered with the transgressors.
For He bore the sin of many,
and made intercession for the transgressors.”
Matthew 1:21
“She will give birth to a son,
and you are to give Him the Name Jesus,
because He will save His people from their sins.”
Acts 4:12
“Salvation is found in no one else,
for there is no other Name under Heaven
given to mankind
by which we must be saved.”
What a Savior!!
There He goes..
Grab hold!
He’s your Savior, too!!
Amen!!
I just heard this song on the radio last week…
I love it!
And if you’re from a beautiful tropical area…
You’re going to love it too!!
It’s by Austin Adamec, and featuring Lindsey Ciresi…
It’s called “Christmas On The Beachside”
I couldn’t find the lyrics…
So I listened to it a thousand times!
Ha!
I hope I got them right!!
“Christmas on the Beachside…
Gotta love the Beachside…
It’s wintertime…
And it’s so far from snowin’…
The palms are swaying…
And we’re jumpin’ in the ocean…
The sun shines on the waves in December…
The Birthday of the Savior…
We celebrate together!
Christmas on the Beachside…
Underneath the blue sky…
No need for sleigh rides…
The surf is just right…
Christmas on the Beachside…
It’s the Salt Life…
Because Jesus is the reason…
No matter what the season…
On the Beachside…
Fire from chimneys…
Presents near the fire…
It’s getting hotter…
Soakin’ out the weather…
Snuggies and comfy Christmas sweaters…
Can’t compare when you’re…
Breakin’ in the water…
Though the Holiday may fade away…
We will always find a way…
Red & green may dissipate
We will Always Celebrate
Christmas on the Beachside!!”
