Come and Make Us Free

This is a new song from Zac Hicks that we learned at Liberate 2015.  I have included lyrics below.  Be reminded of what Jesus has done for us and how that makes us free.

You can listen here

1. I’m a doubter of Your grace
And my heart won’t cease
Seeking love in every place
But Your perfect arms of peace

Though I see that all my longings
Find their journey’s end in you
Oft they wander in the byways
Cheaply lured by every hue

All our hearts long for, we find in You, O LordHelp us want You more, than idols we adoreGive us eyes to see your matchless beautyShatter unbelief, come and make us free

2. I’m a slave to lowly thoughts
That I cannot shake
Lust of eyes and pride of life
Hardened heart that ne’er will break

Though I hear that You alone can
Make this stone a heart of flesh
Oft in bitterness I linger
Choosing chains, not freedom’s rest

3. I’m addicted to the lie
That my thirsty soul
Can be quenched by earth’s supply
Vainly seized by my control

Though I know that You alone have
Living water’s richest store
Oft you find me savoring droplets
Out of cisterns cracked and poor

Sermon Notes-"Transitional Thoughts"

Introduction: As I was thinking and praying about what to share during my final sermon on staff, I began to think of the transition that I am making as well as the church.   We as pastors have been consistently focused on three priorities over the last several years: prayer, worship and equip.   So, even though I may no longer be on staff in a few weeks at this church, as a member of this church I believe just as strongly that Hesston MB needs to continue to be about these priorities in the days ahead.   However, the more I prayed about it, the more I realized that to get to these priorities, we as a church also had to make some transitions so that is why I am entitling this message “Transitional Thoughts”.   Transition is defined as “the process or an instance of changing from one form, state, activity, or place to another.” Educate to Equip- Ephesians 4:11-16 ·          What is the difference?   o    To educate the focus is information; to equip the focus is transformation o

Sermon Notes "Plans" based on Acts 10:24-48

Introduction: I would like you to think about the word “plans”. Write down on your bulletin some plans you have for: this week, summer, your future, etc.   I am a planner so I love to know what is going to happen.   Yet we also need to keep in mind a Scripture from Proverbs 19:21 “Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.” We are going to see from the story of Peter and Cornelius, two great leaders who had plans yet God had a different plan and purpose for them and for others. Prepared- vs. 24-29 ·          Vs. 23-24-Peter and Cornelius have visions (10:1-23) o    Peter is told not to call common what God has made clean (15). As Peter is trying to figure out what it means, some men come and find him. o    Cornelius is told to call for a man named Peter and is given his location and he sends his servants to find him. o    Peter makes preparations and goes to Caesarea, Cornelius gets ready for his guests and invites his close fr
