Complete surrender

Praise and worship is an expression of our gratitude to the Lord for his wonderful mercies and grace.

However worries and doubts fill our hearts and we are unable to give him our all.

As mentioned in the passage Mat 6:25-34, God knows our needs and is ever faithful to meet it. All we need to do is to seek his kingdom and submit to his will.

In times of dificulties, all worldly help seems temporary and do not give us adequate comfort. However God knows our inner being , that we are mere mortals and he will give us the peace that passeth all understanding during times like this.

When we completely surrender to him, he will guide us through. He will be our strength when we feel weak and fill our cup when we are dry.

Christ is enough for us every moment of our lives and in every step of the way.

However it is also important to remember that if we are standing now that it is all because of his grace.

We need to remind ourselves daily of how much we need him and his loving support.

Song list

This is my desire

You are my all in all

Christ is enough

Lord I need you

All to Jesus I surrender

– “Seek ye first the kingdom of God.” It’s not just about just praying before starting anything. It giving him his space to work in our plans. After we pray if we rely on our own plans and ways instead of God’s, then the prayer makes no point. It’s not just about putting Him first, it’s about putting Him above everything.

– When we submit our ways and decisions to the plans of God, we can actually see the Wonder. We set our best possible targets or goals. When we direct them under the control of God, we see that God’s plan is better than what we thought was best for us. Only thing he expects from us is patience.

– Even in our personal, where we struggle between flesh and spirit, God’s mercy and grace always uphold us. God’s ultimate plan is to bring the entire humanity to his kingdom and not to judge and throw in the lake of fire.

Are we taking advantage of his grace and mercy to enjoy the pleasures of the world or are we growing day by day?

– Worship is not just about praising and thanking God in our happy and good times. True worship is no matter what it is, we rely on the hope we have in Christ that he is in control of everything in our life and that he’ll do only good to us. (Romans 8:28)

Song list:

1. Every move I make

2. Hail Jesus

3. You are beautiful

4. From the inside out

5. Arise

Worship Theme: OVERCOME

“We all struggle to overcome obstacles in life – exams, relationships, habits, finances, etc. As Christians we have this assurance that Jesus wears the Victors Crown and will fight every battle with us and for us. We will overcome not by our own strength but by the strength of our creator. We are ordered to wait upon the Lord and renew our strength to rise up like eagles.

Victors Crown is a song we’ve sung at Edge Church (Adelaide) many years ago and a desire to use it as the theme for worship was rekindled when we sang it at Ashraya in Chennai.

I also included Nachoonga (the Hindi version of Undignified) on special request by my son – it was fun to see the kids out-sing the adults on the intro song today!”

Song List

Undignified / Nachoonga

Victory Chant (Hail Jesus)

Everlasting God

Victors Crown

Stand up, Stand up for Jesus

Jeremiah 29:13 “You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart”

Worship Leader: Dr. Gladwin

“Praise means to honor, worship, and express admiration for God. Psalm 150 is an excellent Psalm which expresses this with every verse starting with the word praise. And a special thought of All that has breath to praise God. Considering that we inhale and exhale more than 20000 times a day,  we ought to praise God  for his kindness, goodness, mercy, grace and love and many more blessings.

Songs were based on Psalm 150, the central thought being praise.”

Song List

Hosanna praise is raising

Praise him on the trumpet, psaltery and harp

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord

Praise my soul the king of heaven

How great is our God

You are great

All heavens declare

“1 Samuel 1 – we see Hannah pleading for a child and 3 years later she is back with the son – Samuel in the sanctuary giving him back as a thank offering because the Lord remembered her.

How often do we take time to recollect the many blessings we have and thank the Lord – through praise , prayer , tithing of our time and material possessions.”

Song List:

1. Our God saves

2. Your grace is enough

3. I will boast

4. God of the City

5. Worthy, You are worthy

6. King of Kings, Majesty

7. Lord, I need You

Kenny: “Ps 145:10. All your works shall give thanks to you, O Lord, and all your saints shall bless you.

Earth is full of God’s praise, and we are ‘God’s workmanship’ as the New Testament puts it, so we come together in His name today to worship him. There are so many things we can ask of Him….might, power, justice….but His grace is enough! For me, for you, for our families, our churches, our nation.  He is enthroned….and although the powers of this world rage, we are reminded that there are many who have not bowed their knees to the gods of this world. We can proclaim Him as our God, the God of this city….the one who is worthy for ever and ever, and even beyond that. Enthroned in majesty, power and glory….what can we do but bow before Him. Yes, Father, let me see you for who You are, and in Your light, let me see myself, and my desperate need of You…every hour…my defense and my righteousness, O Lord “
