* Pray for Tim & Sheila Steele with Cru - New Mexico * For the growth of the fruits and veggies we are growing in the house as we get ready to transplant to our garden.

Our goal is to spearhead an initiative across the state for couples (whether churched, unchurched, dechurched or exchurched) to learn the biblical blueprints for marriage; especially needed in today’s American culture.

Messenger Articles Due

2 Timothy 1:8 - 12
8 So don’t be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, or of me his prisoner. Instead, share in suffering for the gospel, relying on the power of God. 9 He has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began. 10 This has now been made evident through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. 11 For this gospel I was appointed a herald, apostle, and teacher, 12 and that is why I suffer these things. But I am not ashamed, because I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that he is able to guard what has been entrusted to me until that day.

Why Should He Love Me So?
Verse 1 Love sent my Savior to die in my stead; Why should He love me so? Meekly to Calvary's cross He was led; Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Savior to Calvary go?
Why should He love me so?
Verse 2
Nails pierced His hands and His feet for my sin; Why should He love me so? He suffered sore my salvation to win; Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Savior to Calvary go?
Why should He love me so?
Verse 3
O how He agonized there in my place; Why should He love me so? Nothing withholding my sin to efface; Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should He love me so?
Why should my Savior to Calvary go?
Why should He love me so?

My Faith Has Found a Resting Place
Verse 1
My faith has found a resting place, Not in a man-made creed; I trust the Ever-living One, That He for me shall plead.
Chorus: I need no other evidence,
I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died,
And rose again for me.
Verse 2
Enough for me that Jesus saves, This ends my fear and doubt; A sinful soul I come to Him, He will not cast me out.
Chorus: I need no other evidence, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And rose again for me.
Verse 3
My soul is resting on the Word, The living Word of God, Salvation in my Savior’s name, Salvation through His blood.
Chorus: I need no other evidence, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And rose again for me.
Verse 4
My great Physician heals the sick, The lost He came to save; For me His precious blood He shed, For me His life He gave.
Chorus: I need no other evidence, I need no other plea; It is enough that Jesus died, And rose again for me.

My Hope Is In The Lord
Verse 1
My hope is in the Lord Who gave Himself for me And paid the price Of all my sin at Calvary
Chorus
For me He died For me He lives And everlasting life And light He freely gives
Verse 2
No merit of my own His anger to suppress My only hope is found In Jesus' righteousness
For me He died For me He lives And everlasting life And light He freely gives
Verse 3
And now for me He stands Before the Father's throne He shows His wounded hands And names me as His own
For me He died For me He lives And everlasting life And light He freely gives
Verse 4
His grace has planned it all 'Tis mine but to believe And recognize His work of love And Christ receive
For me He died For me He lives And everlasting life And light He freely gives

Confession of Faith
1 Corinthians 15:1 - 8
1 Now I want to make clear for you, brothers and sisters, the gospel I preached to you, which you received, on which you have taken your stand 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold to the message I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. 3 For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the Twelve. 6 Then he appeared to over five hundred brothers and sisters at one time; most of them are still alive, but some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 Last of all, as to one born at the wrong time, he also appeared to me.

Yesterday Today And Tomorrow
Yesterday He died for me Yesterday yesterday Yesterday He died for me yesterday Yesterday He died for me died for me This is history
Today He lives for me Today today Today He lives for me today Today He lives for me lives for me This is victory
Tomorrow He comes for me He comes He comes Tomorrow He comes for me He comes Tomorrow He comes for me comes for me This is mystery
O friend do you know Him Know Him know Him O friend do you know Him know Him O friend do you know Him do you know Him Jesus Christ the Lord
Jesus Christ the Lord
Jesus Christ the Lord
