Praise Offering:
1 *We walk by faith and not by sight, no gracious words we hear
(Repeat verse 1.)
Glory Offering:
**I sing the mighty power of God that made the mountains rise!
That spread the flowing seas abroad and built the lofty skies!
I sing the wisdom that ordained the Sun to rule the day!
The Moon shines full at His command and all the stars obey!
I sing the goodness of the Lord that filled the Earth with food!
He made the creatures with His Word and then pronounced them good!
Lord, how Your wonders are displayed where e’re I turn my eye;
If I survey the ground I tread or gaze upon the sky!
There’s not a plant or flower below but makes Thy glories known!
And clouds arise and tempests blow on order from Thy throne!
While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care,
And everywhere that man can be Thou, Lord, are present there!
Sin Offering:
(Refrain) *Eye has not seen, ear has not heard
What God has ready for those who love Him;
Spirit of love come give us the mind of Jesus;
Teach us the wisdom of God.

Sermon
Faith Offering: Philippians 2: 6 – 11: “Though He was in the form of God, Jesus did not deem equality with God something to be grasped at; rather, He emptied Himself, and took the form of a slave, being born in the likeness of men. He was known to be of human estate, and it was thus that He humbled Himself, obediently accepting even death, death on a cross. Because of this God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name that is above all other names. So that, at Jesus’ name, every knee must bend, in the heavens, on the earth, and under the earth, and every tongue proclaim, to the glory of God the Father: JESUS CHRIST IS LORD!”

(Refrain) *Dance, then, wherever you may be!

***But they had no faith, so they would not follow me;
So I danced for some fishermen beside the sea,
And, in faith, they danced all throughout Galilee!

***Then even my disciples thought I left them without,
Til I showed my wounds and erased all doubt!
