The Stand (see p. 3 for lyrics) Offertory Prayer The Good News of Jesus Christ We believe in the Good News of Jesus Christ Sermon: which has been preached to us, Beware the Crowd: Jeremiah 26:7-15, 24 (see pp. 4- which we have received, 6) and upon which we have taken our stand: that Christ died for us Communion (see p. 1 for creeds) according to the Scriptures that he was buried, Final Song: that he was raised on the third day See a Victory (see p. 6-7 for lyrics) according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to many faithful witnesses. Corporate Prayer (everyone on Zoom) We believe that Christ has indeed been raised from Announcements and Benediction (everyone on Zoom) the dead, The firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, So in Christ all will be made alive. We believe that Jesus Christ must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet, And that the last enemy to be destroyed is death. -1- Song Lyrics Song #1: We Praise You Song #2: Such An Awesome God CCLI Song # 4088941 CCLI Song # 7130622 Bob Kauflin | Walter Chalmers Smith Heath Balltzglier | Johnny Hamilton | Jonathan Jay | Mitch Wong © 2001 Sovereign Grace Praise (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing [Integrity © Heritage Worship Music Publishing (Admin. by Bethel Music Publishing) | Music, David C Cook]) Centricity Songs (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) | Music At North Point All rights reserved. www.ccli.com | CCLI License # 405367 (Admin. by Capitol CMG Publishing) | Integrity’s Praise!

9 Why have you prophesied in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant’?” And all the people gathered around Jeremiah in the house of the LORD. 10 When the officials of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king’s house to the house of the LORD and took their seat in the entry of the New Gate of the house of the LORD. 11 Then the priests and the prophets said to the officials and to all the people, “This man deserves the sentence of death because he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your own ears.” 12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people, saying, “It is the LORD who sent me to prophesy against this house and this city all the words you have heard. 13 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, and the LORD will change his mind about the disaster that he has pronounced against you.
