Luke 15:20"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.

It’s amazing, astounding extravagant grace

Philippians 2: Service, simplicity, submission, solitude1If you have any encouragement from being united with Christ,

if any comfort from his love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion,2then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and purpose.

3Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

4Each of you should look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others.

5Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:6Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.

8And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!

Service, simplicity, submission, solitude

Joshua 112But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of

Manasseh, Joshua said,13"Remember the command that Moses the servant of the

LORD gave you: 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and has granted you this land.'

14Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, fully armed, must cross over ahead of your brothers. You are to help your brothers 15until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan towards the sunrise."

16Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go.

Psalm 1331How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in

unity!2It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on

the beard, running down on Aaron's beard, down upon the collar of his robes.

3It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the LORD bestows his blessing, even life for evermore.

Luke 101After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent

them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go.

2He told them, 5"When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.'

8"When you are welcomed, eat what is set before you.9Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of

God is near you.'17The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even

the demons submit to us in your name."

1 Corinthians 1212The body is a unit, though it is made up of many parts; and

though all its parts are many, they form one body. So it is with Christ.

15If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason cease to be part of the body.

17If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be?

21The eye cannot say to the hand, "I don't need you!" And the head cannot say to the feet, "I don't need you!"

25There should be no division in the body, and its parts should have equal concern for each other.

26If one part suffers, every part suffers with it; if one part is honoured, every part rejoices with it.

27Now you are the body of Christ, and each one of you is a part of it.

3 I will hold the Christlight for youIn the night-time of your fear;I will hold my hand out to you,Speak the peace you long to

hear.

4 I will weep when you are weeping,

When you laugh I'll laugh with you;

I will share your joy and sorrow

Till we've seen this journey through.

5 When we sing to God in heaven

We shall find such harmony,Born of all we've known

Bind us together, Lord,Bind us togetherWith cords that cannot be

broken.Bind us together, Lord,Bind us together,Bind us together with love.

There is only one God,There is only one King;There is only one Body,That is why we sing:

Made for the glory of God,Purchased by His precious

Son;Born with the right to be

clean,For Jesus the victory has

won.

You are the family of God,You are the promise divine;You are God’s chosen

desire,You are the glorious new

wine.

Song – Inspiring

Men of faith, rise up and singOf the great and glorious King;You are strong when you feel

weakIn your brokenness complete.

Shout to the north and the southSing to the east and the westJesus is Saviour to allLord of heaven and earth.

Rise up women of the truthStand and sing to broken heartsWho can know the healing

powerOf our glorious King of love.

We’ve been through fire

We’ve been through rain;

We’ve been refined

By the power of His name.

We’ve fallen deeper in love with You

You’ve burned the truth on our lips.

Rise up church with broken wings;

Fill this place with songs again

Of our God who reigns on high

By His grace again we’ll fly.

At the name of JesusEvery knee shall bow,Every tongue confess HimKing of glory now;’Tis the Father’s pleasureWe should call Him Lord,Who from the beginningWas the mighty Word.

Humbled for a season,To receive a nameFrom the lips of sinnersUnto whom He came;Faithfully He bore itSpotless to the last,Brought it back victorious,When from death He passed.

Bore it up triumphantWith its human light,Through all ranks of creaturesTo the central height,To the throne of Godhead,To the Father’s breast,Filled it with the gloryOf that perfect rest.

In your hearts enthrone Him;There let Him subdueAll that is not holy,All that is not true;Crown Him as your CaptainIn temptation’s hour,Let His will enfold youIn its light and power.

Onward, Christian soldiersMarching as to warWith the cross of Jesus Going on before! Christ, the royal Master, Leads against the foe; Forward into battle, See, His banners go

Like a mighty army Moves the church of God: Brothers we are treading Where the saints have trod. We are not dividedAll one body we, One in hope and doctrine, One in charity.

Crowns and thrones may perish, Kingdoms rise and wane, But the church of Jesus Constant will remain; Gates of hell can never ’Gainst that church prevail; We have Christ’s own promise, And that cannot fail

Onward, then, ye people! Join our happy throng; Blend with ours your voices In the triumph-song: Glory, laud, and honour Unto Christ the King! This through countless ages Men and angels sing:

1) I am the eye, I go blink, blink, Yes, I am the eye, I see so muchI am the eye but I can't touch, That belongs to my friends on the

hands.2 I fiddle, feely, fiddle, feely, fiddle, feely, I'm the fingers with the

most amazing sense of touchI’m the fingers and can work out quickly what is what. Yes I

fiddle, feely, fiddle all the time.3) I go munch, crunch, munch, crunch I go. I am the mouth, I

chew like so.The taste of food is great you know – it’s energy it makes us grow4) We’re breathing, we’re breathing, some air’s good and some’s

less soI'm the nose, I'm the nose, I know by sense of smell.5) Hearing, hearing, Small ears, hearing, We don't, miss much,

Hearing all the time.6) We are the body of Christ, We are the body of Christ, Together

bringing His love to the world.
