I will praise you, O Lord, among the nations; I will sing of you among the peoples.

For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies.

Be exalted, O God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth.

Psalm 57:9-11

Isaiah 45:23If my prayer be not humble make it so

In these last hours if the Spirit waits in check help me let it goAnd should my suffering double let me never love You less

Let every knee be bent, and every tongue confess

And I won't get better but someday I'll be free'Cause I am not this body that imprisons me

I read the magazines somebody broughtHold them to my failing eyes until my hands get hot

And when the nurse comes in to change my sheets and clothesThe pain begins to travel, dancing as it goes

If my prayer goes unanswered that's alrightIf my path fills with darkness and there is no sign of light

Let me praise You for the good times, let me hold Your banner high

Until the hills are flattened and the rivers all run dry

Worst Sports Moment

The Near East at the Time of Isaiah, c. 740 b.c. (ESV Study Bible)

Isaiah's vision of the LordIsaiah 6:1-7

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord

seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the

train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him

were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings

they covered their faces, with two they covered

their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And

they were calling to one another:

"Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty;

the whole earth is full of his glory."

4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. 5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." 6 Then one of the seraphs flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."

Isaiah's vision of the LordIsaiah 6:1-7










”“

God is holy, holy, holy.Only once in sacred scripture is an attribute of God elevated to the third degree. Only once is a characteristic of God mentioned 3 times in succession. The Bible says that God is holy, holy, holy. Not that he is merely holy, or even holy, holy. He is holy, holy, holy. The Bible never says that God is love, love, love; or mercy, mercy, mercy; or wrath, wrath, wrath; or justice, justice, justice. It does say that he is holy, holy, holy and that the whole earth is full of his glory. - R.C. Sproul, The Holiness of God

”“God is bigger than you think.

Whatever your idea of God is, it ISN'T big enough!

- Pastor Steve Treichler

Isaiah’s problem

”“"Woe to me!" I cried. "I am

ruined! For I am a man of

unclean lips, and I live among a

people of unclean lips, and my

eyes have seen the King, the

LORD Almighty."- Prophet Isaiah

You have a problem.

”“The Gospel is called the ‘good

news’ because it addresses the

most serious problem that you and

I have as human beings, and that

problem is simply this: God is holy

and He is just, and I’m not. And at

the end of my life, I’m going to

stand before a just and holy God,

and I’ll be judged.- R.C. Sproul

A picture of Jesus

Hebrews 9:24-26

[24] For Christ has entered, not into holy places

made with hands, which are copies of the true things,

but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence

of God on our behalf. [25] Nor was it to offer himself

repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places

every year with blood not his own, [26] for then he

would have had to suffer repeatedly since the

foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared

once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by

the sacrifice of himself.

Jesus is God.

John 12:39-41

37Even after Jesus had done all these miraculous signs in

their presence, they still would not believe in him. 38This

was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet: "Lord, who

has believed our message and to whom has the arm of

the Lord been revealed?" 39For this reason they could not believe, because,

as Isaiah says elsewhere:

40"He has blinded their eyes and deadened their hearts,

so they can neither see with their eyes, nor understand

with their hearts, nor turn—and I would heal them." 41Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke

about him.

Isaiah saw Jesus!Isaiah 6:1-7

In the Shadow of the Glorious Cross

In the shadow of the glorious cross

Compelled by grace to cast my lot—

Embrace the loss and bare your name

Forsaking all for your own fame

Words and Music: Brooks Ritter and Rebecca Bales CCLI #1181771

Your hymn of grace sung over me

Abounding forth in glorious streams

My thirst is quenched by you my Lord

Sustained am I redeemed restored

Sustained am I redeemed restored

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

When death’s dark shadow’s at my feet

When I am plagued by unbelief

You place my hands into your side

By precious blood identified

By precious blood identified


These crowns I’ve clenched with fisted hands—

I cast them down before the throne

Of Christ, my God, the worthy lamb:

Christ crucified, the Great I AM



In the shadow of the glorious cross

Compelled by grace to cast my lot—

Embrace the loss and bare your name

Forsaking all for your own fame

How Deep the Father’s Love for Us

How deep the Father’s love for us,how vast beyond all measure.

That He should give His only Sonto make a wretch His treasure.

How great the pain of searing loss.The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the Chosen Onebring many sons to glory.

Stuart Townsend © 1995 Thankyou Music CCLI #1181771

Behold the man upon a cross,my sin upon His shoulders.

Ashamed I hear my mocking voicecall out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him thereuntil it was accomplished.

His dying breath has brought me life.I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything,no gifts, no power, no wisdom.But I will boast in Jesus Christ,

His death and resurrection.Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer.But this I know with all my heart.

His wounds have paid my ransom.

Behold the man upon a cross,my sin upon His shoulders.

Ashamed I hear my mocking voicecall out among the scoffers.

It was my sin that held Him thereuntil it was accomplished.

His dying breath has brought me life.I know that it is finished.

Before the Throne of God Above

Before the throne of God aboveI have a strong, a perfect plea

A great High Priest whose name is “Love”Who ever lives and pleads for meMy name is graven on His hands, My name is written on his heart

I know that while in heav’n He standsNo tongue can bid me thence departNo tongue can bid me thence depart

Words and music by Charitie Lees Bancroft and Vikki Cook © 1997 PDI Worship CCLI #1181771

When Satan tempts me to despairAnd tells me of the guilt within,

Upward I look and see Him there Who made an end to all my sin. Because the sinless Savior diedMy sinful soul is counted free; For God, the Just, is satisfied

To look on him and pardon meTo look on him and pardon me.

Behold him there! the risen LambMy perfect, spotless Righteousness,

The great unchangeable I AM, The King of glory and of grace! One with Himself I cannot die,

My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high,

With Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my God

One with Himself I cannot die, My soul is purchased by His blood; My life is hid with Christ on high,

With Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my GodWith Christ, my Savior and my God

Narrow Little Road

I believe in the love of GodIt is an orphan’s wildest dream

It is a narrow little roadIt is an ever widening desert stream

Oh I, and I…I will leave this roadFor the narrow

(2x)

Words and Music: Mo Leverett, ed. Tim Johnson © 1995 CCLI #1181771

It is portrayed in the bread and wineLet it fortify my bones

It is more than just a signIt is the fountain from the desert stone


(2x)

The love of God is the hymn of hopeLet the needy join the throngLet the fallen take the rope

Let the cripple rise to sing this song


(2x)

It is the path where the humble goIt is the narrow, not the broad

It is the pathway up the hillTo the graveyard of the Living God


(2x)

Indescribable

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea Creation's revealing Your majesty From the colors of fall to the fragrance of

spring Every creature unique in the song that it sings

All exclaiming

Chris Tomlin and Laura Story ©2004 Sparrow Records CCLI #1181771

Indescribable, Uncontainable,You placed the stars in the skyAnd You know them by name.

You are amazing God.All powerful, Untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees As we humbly proclaim:

You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt Where it should go

Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow

Who imagined the sun And gives source to its light

Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night

None can fathom…


You are amazing God.All powerful, Untameable,

Awestruck we fall to our knees As we humbly proclaim:

You are amazing God


You are amazing God.Incomparable, UnchangeableYou see the depths of my heart

And you love me the same

You are amazing God
