Popup church with only Jesus in Charge

Colleen and I are in North Carolina   You've got this.  Worship isn't something that happens because a certain person is present to lead you. It happens because of the worth-ship of our Heavenly Father!  He's worthy regardless of you or me... Worship happens when we are in agreement with Him that He is worthy of our praise and adoration.


Worship in #OpenSpaces
Reader #1: 
1 Chronicles 16:23-31 The Voice (VOICE)
23  Now, sing to the Eternal, all the earth!
    Announce the good news of His salvation each and every day!
24 Enlighten the nations to His splendor;
    describe His wondrous acts to all people!
25 For the Eternal is great indeed and praiseworthy,
    feared and reverenced above all gods.
26 For all gods are worthless idols,
    but the Eternal plotted the vast heavens.
27 Honor and majesty precede Him;
    strength and beauty infuse His holy sanctuary.
28 Give all credit to the Eternal, families of the world!
    Credit Him with honor and strength!
29 Credit Him with the glory worthy of His magnificent name;
    gather your sacrifice, and present it before Him.
Bow down to the Eternal, adorned in holiness.
30 Fear Him, all the earth.
    For the earth is firmly rooted; it cannot move.
31 Heavens, be glad; earth, rejoice.
    Say to the nations, “The Eternal One reigns.”

Reader #2:
Psalm 29
A song of David.
1 Give all credit to the Eternal, O heavenly creatures;
    give praise to Him for His glory and power.
2 Give to the Eternal the glory due His name;
    worship Him with lavish displays of sacred splendor.
3 The voice of the Eternal echoes over the great waters;
    God’s magnificence roars like thunder.
    The Eternal’s presence hovers over all the waters.
4 His voice explodes in great power over the earth.
    His voice is both regal and grand.
5 The Eternal’s voice shatters the cedars;
    His power splinters the great cedars of Lebanon.
6 He speaks, and Lebanon leaps like a young calf;
    Sirion jumps like a wild, youthful ox.
7 The voice of the Eternal cuts through with flames of fire.
8 The voice of the Eternal rumbles through the wilderness
    with great quakes;
    He causes Kadesh to tremble.
9 The Eternal’s voice brings life from the doe’s womb;
    His voice strips the forest bare,
    and all the people in the temple declare, “Glory!”
10 The Eternal is enthroned over the great flood;
    His reign is unending.
11 We ask You, Eternal One, to give strength to Your people;
    Eternal One, bless them with the gift of peace.

2 Corinthians 13 - Paul writes to the church in Corinth
5 Examine yourselves. Check your faith! Are you really in the faith? Do you still not know that Jesus the Anointed is in you?—unless, of course, you have failed the test. 6 Surely you will realize we have not failed the test, 7 but we pray to God that you will stay away from evil. What’s important is not whether we appear to have passed the test, but that you do what is right and act honorably, even if it appears that we have failed. 8 For there’s nothing we can do to oppose the truth; all we can do is align ourselves with it. 9 You see, we celebrate when we are weak but you are strong. Our prayer is simple: that you may be whole and complete. 10 How I hope I am saving you by writing this to you in advance; this letter will spare me from using the Lord’s authority to come down on you when I arrive. His intention in giving me this authority is to build you up, not tear you down.
11 Finally, brothers and sisters, keep rejoicing and repair whatever is broken. Encourage each other, think as one, and live at peace; and God, the Author of love and peace, will remain with you. 12 Greet each other with a holy kiss, as brothers and sisters. 13 All the saints here with me send you their greeting.
14 May the grace of the Lord Jesus the Anointed, the love of God the Father, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit remain with you all. [Amen.]

COME THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING

Verse 1 Come Thou Fount of ev'ry blessing 
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace 
Streams of mercy never ceasing 
Call for songs of loudest praise 
Teach me some melodious sonnet
 Sung by flaming tongues above
 Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it 
Mount of God's redeeming love 
Verse 2 Here I raise my Ebenezer 
Hither to Thy help I'm come 
And I hope by Thy good pleasure 
Safely to arrive at home 
Jesus sought me when a stranger 
Wand'ring from the fold of God 
He to rescue me from danger 
Interposed His precious blood 
Verse 3 O to grace how great a debtor
 Daily I'm constrained to be 
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
 Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee 
Prone to wander Lord I feel it 
Prone to leave the God I love 
Here's my heart O take and seal it 
Seal it for Thy courts above

Jeremiah’s Letter: 4 This is what the Eternal, Commander of heavenly armies and God of Israel, says to those He exiled from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 “Build houses—make homes for your families because you are not coming back to Judah anytime soon. Plant gardens, and eat the food you grow there. 6 Marry and have children; find wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, so that they can have children. During these years of captivity, let your families grow and not die out. 7 Pursue the peace and welfare of the city where I sent you into exile. Pray to Me, the Eternal, for Babylon because if it has peace, you will live in peace.”

Colossians 1 - Hear our Prayer
vs 9:  “Father, may they clearly know Your will and achieve the height and depth of spiritual wisdom and understanding. 10 May their lives be a credit to You, Lord; and what’s more, may they continue to delight You by doing every good work and growing in the true knowledge that comes from being close to You. 11 Strengthen them with Your infinite power, according to Your glorious might, so that they will have everything they need to hold on and endure hardship patiently and joyfully. 12 Thank You, Father, as You have made us[d] eligible to receive our portion of the inheritance given to all those set apart by the light. 13 You have rescued us from dark powers and brought us safely into the kingdom of Your Son, whom You love 14 and in whom we are redeemed and forgiven of our sins.”

HERE I BOW

But to the throne of mercy 
Where would I kneel 
But at this cross of grace

Beautiful so beautiful

Jesus be glorified In all things for all my life 
I am Yours forever Yours

 There is a Son who came in grace and truth 
How great the love That carries us to kindness 
Wonderful You’re wonderful

Right here and now be glorified God of Heaven and Earth God who brought me back to life I am Yours forever Yours

Proverbs 14:21
21 Whoever despises his neighbor is a sinner,
    but blessed is he who is generous to the poor.

Reader #8
1 Timothy 6
17 As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy. 18 They are to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, 19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

HOW MARVELOUS

Verse 1 
I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene 
And wonder how He could love me 
A sinner condemned unclean 
Chorus 1 (Singin') (Ev'rybody singin') 
How marvelous how wonderful 
And my song shall ever be 
How marvelous how wonderful
 Is my Savior's love for me 
Verse 2 
He took my sins and my sorrows 
He made them His very own (And) 
He bore the burden to Calvary 
And suffered and died alone 
Verse 3 
And with the ransomed in glory 
His face I last shall see 
It will be my joy through the ages 
To sing of His love for me
