Sunday morning, 6/20 (Fathers' Day!)

Danny Lee is preaching this Sunday, Fathers' Day, on Luke 15 (yep, the whole chapter!), focusing partly on the point in Luke 15:10, "Just so, I tell you, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."

Jesus Christ came to seek and save his sheep, and He knows them all by name. We rejoice in this truth, that not one of His sheep will be lost, and I can't think of a better theme for Fathers' Day Sunday than the love of God, displayed for us in sending His Son to save us.

So, we'll start off our singing with How Deep the Father's Love for Us, but played fast like we play it in college/youth group. By the way, I didn't mention that our college/youth band is playing with me in main service this week. I think the morning is going to be wicked awesome.

Second, we're doing a new song for main service, but that we've been playing for a year or so in college group. It's called Beautiful Jesus, and very appropriately (going with our theme from Luke 15) starts off with the line "Your love O God, displayed for us, as crimson covered over sinless hands."

Our last two songs will go as follows: we'll focus more closely on Christ's perfect sacrifice for our sin with Jesus Paid it All. Then, we'll sing Mighty to Save, as we remind ourselves of the confidence we can have in our Savior, that enables us to go and shine our lights in the world, and fulfill the great commission. I think this will be a joyful, energetic way to end our singing, and hopefully we will be focused on the infinite goodness of knowing our Savior.

See you Sunday morning!
