INDIVIDUAL AND FAMILY ACTIVITIES

On your own or with your family:

What comes to mind when you read the phrase “God works for good in all things, even though not all things are good”? Have you experi- enced this in your own life? How?

Briefly describe a life experience, past or present, in which you are still looking for “the good” and haven’t found it yet. What would you ask of God as you reflect on that experience?

What unknowns do you face right now? Write or say a prayer asking for God’s guidance in your unknowns.

How does God invite you to bless others, to pray for them, to work for good in their lives?

Read Psalm 139 this week, reflecting on how God works for good in your life.

During this time of physical distancing, we are worshiping together in person at 8:15 and 10:45, or you may join us virtually on our fbcjc.org website, FBC YouTube channel, or our First Baptist Church—FBCJC Facebook Page.

Call to Worship - Excerpts from Psalm 30 So when I fight, I'll fight on my knees With my hands lifted high. Song - 10,000 Reasons Oh God, the to You. (, Matt Redman © 2011 Atlas Mountain, sixsteps Music, And every fear I lay at Your feet, Thankyou Music, worshiptogether.com songs; CCLI license #784796) I'll sing through the night, Bless the Lord, O my soul, O my soul, Worship His holy name. Oh God, the battle belongs to You. Sing like never before, O my soul, I'll worship Your holy name. And if You are for me, who can be against me? The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning, For Jesus, there's nothing impossible for You It's time to sing Your song again. When all I see are the ashes, You see the beauty Whatever may pass and whatever lies before me, Thank You, God Let me be singing when the evening comes. When all I see is a cross, God, You see the empty tomb.

And on that day when my strength is failing, Almighty fortress, You go before us, The end draws near, and my time has come. Nothing can stand against the power of our God. Still, my soul will sing Your praise unending, You shine in the shadow, You win every battle, Ten thousand years and then forevermore. Nothing can stand against the power of our God.

Welcome and Prayer Message - God Intended It for Good Song - Amazing Grace Genesis 50:15-21 (Newton; CCLI license #784796) Hannah Coe Amazing grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind but now I see. Song - This Is My Father’s World (Words: Maltbie Babcock; Music: Franklin Shepherd; CCLI license #784796) ‘'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, This is my Father's world, and to my list'ning ears and grace my fears relieved; All nature sings, and 'round me rings the music of the spheres. How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. This is my Father's world, I rest me in the thought Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas, His hand the wonders wrought. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, This is my Father's world, O let me ne'er forget We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise than when we first begun. That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the Ruler yet. This is my Father's world, the battle is not done; Children’s Time - Lisa Anthony Jesus who died shall be satisfied, and earth and heaven be one

(Arr. Nancy Hill Cobb; © 1984 Van Ness Press, CCLI license #784796) When all I see is the mountain, You see a mountain moved.

And as I walk through the shadow, Your love surrounds me. There's nothing to fear now, for I am safe with You.
