Interview of Pastor Jerry Miller

Scripture I Corinthians 1:18-25

18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. 19 For it is written:“I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”

20 Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?

21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. 22 Jews demand signs and Greeks look for wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than human wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than human strength.

Message “The Message of the Cross…Is the Power of God”

Refreshments

My Lighthouse (Rend Collective)

In my wrestling and in my doubts

In my failures You won't walk out

Your great love will lead me through

You are the peace in my troubled sea

You are the peace in my troubled sea

In the silence, You won't let go

In the questions, Your truth will hold

Your great love will lead me through

You are the peace in my troubled sea

You are the peace in my troubled sea

Refrain: My lighthouse, my lighthouse

Shining in the darkness. I will follow You

My lighthouse, my lighthouse

I will trust the promise

You will carry me safe to shore

Safe to shore.Safe to shore.Safe to shore

I won't fear what tomorrow brings

With each morning I'll rise and sing

My God's love will lead me through

You are the peace in my troubled sea

You are the peace in my troubled sea

Refrain

Fire Before Us, You’re the Brightest

You Will Lead Us Through The Storms (4 times)

Refrain

In The Garden (None Like You)

1. I come to the garden alone,

While the dew is still on the roses,

And the voice I hear falling on my ear

The Son of God discloses.

Refrain: There is none like You,

No one else can touch my heart like You do

I could search for all eternity long and find

There is none like You

2. You speak, and the sound of Your voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,

And the melody that you gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

Refrain x 2

Good Good Father(Chris Tomlin)

I've heard a thousand stories of what they think you're like

But I've heard the tender whispers of love in the dead of night

And you tell me that you're pleased

And that I'm never alone

Refrain: You're a good good father

It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am

I've seen many searching for answers far and wide

But I know we're all searching for answers only you provide

'Cause you know just what we need

Before we say a word

Refrain

You are perfect in all of Your ways

You are perfect in all of Your ways

You are perfect in all of Your ways to us (Repeat)

With love so undeniable I, I can hardly speak

With peace so unexplainable I, I can hardly think

As You call me deeper still, As You call me deeper still

As You call me deeper stillInto love, love, love.

Refrain

Holy Spirit You Are Welcome Here(Francesca Battistelli)

There's nothing worth more. That could ever come close

No thing can compare. You're our living hope

Your presence, Lord

I've tasted and seen, Of the sweetest of loves

Where my heart becomes free, And my shame is undone

Your presence, Lord

Holy Spirit, You are welcome here

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for

To be overcome by Your presence, Lord, Your presence, Lord

There's nothing worth more, That could ever come close

No thing can compare, You're our living hope

Your presence, Lord

I've tasted and seen, Of the sweetest of loves

Where my heart becomes free, And my shame is undone

Your presence, Lord

Holy Spirit, You are welcome here

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for

To be overcome by Your presence, Lord. Your presence, Lord

Let us become more aware ofYour presence

Let us experience the glory of Your goodness (repeat)

Holy Spirit, You are welcome here

Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere

Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for

To be overcome by Your presence, Lord

Because He Lives (Amen)

I believe in the Son

I believe in the risen One

I believe I overcome

By the power of His blood

Refrain: Amen, Amen I'm alive, I'm alive

Because He lives Amen, Amen

Let my song join the one that never ends

Because He lives

I was dead in the grave

I was covered in sin and shame

I heard mercy call my name

He rolled the stone away

Refrain

Because He lives I can face tomorrow

Because He lives Every fear is gone

I know He holds my life my future in His hands

Refrain (repeat)
