Congregational Singing - Christ is All
ExpandVerse 1
I’ve found a treasure that can’t be taken
Found a well that won’t run dry
O worldly pleasure be now forsaken
Behold what love what life is mine
Verse 2
Could endless striving now make me righteous
Could all my works now grant me hope
Oh hallelujah the blood of Jesus
My only plea my only boast
Chorus
Christ is all Christ is all
And my song will ever be
Christ is all
All in all
And my song will ever be
Christ is all
Verse 3
And in the trial when storms are raging
Though tears may fall my soul will rise
For there’s a peace that is mine unchanging
There is a joy that never dies
Verse 4
When life is passing and strength is fading
I’ll see the One that I adore
Let this world vanish oh give me Jesus
My great desire my true reward

https://www.tinyurl.com/opbcguestBethany Forrester South Asia One of our missionaries in South Asia we'll call Bethany. We will pray for her today. Bethany is a missionary to the Deaf. All week long she meets with Deaf people and teaches Bible stories in sign language they understand. Deaf people here are afraid to follow Jesus, because their families may reject them. Let's pray God will give Bethany wisdom as she shares the gospel silently but with passion and power so many will come to faith in Christ.

Congregational Singing - I Want to Know You
ExpandVerse 1
I've tried in vain a thousand ways
My fears to quell my hopes to raise
But what I need your word has said
Is ever only Jesus
Verse 2
You died you live you reign you plead
There's love in all your words and deeds
This weary heart finds all it needs
In ever only Jesus
Chorus
I want to know you Jesus my Lord
King of the Heavens king of my soul
I trade my treasure and all my rewards
Jesus to know you then know you more
Verse 3
Though some should curse me for your name
I have no fear I have no shame
You stand with me for all my days
My ever only Jesus
Bridge
Like wave after wave on the ocean
Like all of the sand on the shore
Your beauty and glory are endless
O Jesus I must know you more

Sermon Notes
ExpandThe Generosity Project: God's Generous Solution
Philippians 2:1-11
Pastor Brad Russell
MOM’S CONTINUE TO SHOW US MORE OF JESUS…
1. POINT US TO JESUS FOR OUR SALVATION
2. POINT US TO JESUS IN OUR FEARS AND ANXIETIES
3. SHOW US JESUS IN YOUR MERCY AND GENEROSITY
4. SHOW US JESUS IN YOUR HUMILITY AND SACRIFICE
UNITY IN MIND, LOVE AND PURPOSE LEADS TO GENEROSITY (VERSES 1-4)
GENEROSITY FLOWS FROM GOD’S GENEROSITY IN CHRIST
GENEROSITY IS POSSIBLE BECAUSE WE ARE ONE WITH JESUS (VERSES 6-8)
TRUE GENEROSITY IS NOT BASED ON THE WORTHINESS OF THE RECEIVER, BUT ON THE WILLING SACRIFICE OF THE GIVER (VERSES 9-11)
WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN A HOPE OF GLORY AS JESUS IS GLORIFIED
Hebrews 12:1-2 Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, [2] looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
TYLER HOLLEY: "Mothers embrace the curse so that we may be born, and Christ embraced the curse so that we may be reborn."
Congregational Singing - Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
ExpandVerse 1
O soul are you weary and troubled
No light in the darkness you see
There's light for a look at the Savior
And life more abundant and free
Chorus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in His wonderful face
And the things of earth
Will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace
Verse 2
Through death into life everlasting
He passed and we follow Him there
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conquerors we are
Verse 3
His Word shall not fail you He promised
Believe Him and all will be well
Then go to a world that is dying
His perfect salvation to tell

Congregational Singing - The Solid Rock
ExpandVerse 1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus' name
Chorus
On Christ the solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
