Good Morning Family. Hope all is well this morning. We have such a great Savior. So very great! The River family had a wonderful time together last night as we started a new four week series on the Blood of Jesus. I have really been enjoying our “Summer Nites” Bible studies. We come together in “breaking bread, fellowship, teaching and prayer.” Last night we all shared a wonderful Italian meal together, we had a great study on “Why The Blood”, we had a time of prayer and two awesome videos – “Beautiful The Blood” by Steve Fee and “Nothing But The Blood” by Rick Pino. Just tremendous! Oh how amazing that the King of Glory rescued us from so many and powerful enemies – Satan, sin and self…all defeated by His Cross! If you would like view these videos we have links to them below.
Here are lyrics to Beautiful the Blood:
I never knew death could be so sweet
I never knew surrender could feel so free
I never seen such meekness in majesty
That the blood of Jesus was bled for me
And now I sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me
How beautiful the blood flow
How merciful the love show
The King of glory poured out
Victorious are we now
Never knew through these nails would love unfold
And never knew these wounds would heal my soul
I've never seen such beauty and sorrow meet
The blood of Jesus was bled for me
And now I sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me
[Repeat Chorus]
Now I'll sing freedom for all my days
It's only by the power of the cross I'm raised
The King of Glory rescued me
[Repeat Chorus]
How beautiful you are
How merciful you are
How glorious you are
Christ the Savior
How beautiful you are
How merciful you are
How glorious you are
Christ the Savior
Have a great, great day!
Pastor Matt
“For you know that you were redeemed from your empty way of life inherited from the fathers, not with perishable things like silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without defect or blemish.” 1 Peter 1:18-19
