Verse 1
Who has held the oceans in His hands? Who has numbered every grain of sand?

Behold our God seated on His throne Come let us adore Him
Behold our King, nothing can compare Come let us adore Him
Verse 2
Who has given counsel to the Lord? Who can question any of His Words?
Who can teach the One who knows all things? Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?
{Chorus}
Verse 3
Who has felt the nails upon His hands Bearing all the guilt of sinful man? God eternal humbled to the grave Jesus, Saviour risen now to reign

O Praise the Name (Anastasis) by Dean Ussher, Marty Sampson, Benjamin Hastings
Verse 1
I cast my mind to Calvary Where Jesus bled and died for me.
I see His wounds, His hands, His feet. My Savior on that cursed tree
Verse 2 His body bound and drenched in tears They laid Him down in Joseph's tomb. The entrance sealed by heavy stone
Messiah still and all alone
Chorus O praise the name of the Lord our God
O praise His name forever more For endless days we will sing Your praise
Oh Lord, oh Lord our God
Verse 3 Then on the third at break of dawn,
The Son of heaven rose again. O trampled death where is your sting?
The angels roar for Christ the King
{Chorus}
Verse 4 He shall return in robes of white,
The blazing Son shall pierce the night. And I will rise among the saints,
My gaze transfixed on Jesus' face
{Chorus} x2
OFFERTORY
Discipleship at Home: Starving the Vultures (Proverbs 30:11-17)
"This is why fathers (and mothers) need to learn how to be strict in the same way that God the Father is strict, and to be merciful in the same way that He is merciful. If we are strict only, we crush the spirit out of our children, or we provoke rebellion. If we are merciful only, we create a culture of entitlement and self-indulgence in the home. And, in the worst possible combination...we are strict where God is merciful, and merciful where God is strict...” -Doug Wilson
"God has made humans to reflect him, but if they do not commit themselves to him, they will not reflect him, but something else in creation. At the core of our beings, we are imaging creatures. It is not possible to be neutral on this issue: we either reflect the Creator or something in creation." -G.K. Beale
Questions: 1. If you had a 4 year old following you around this week, what would they observe about how you handle stress, joy, rest; what would they observe about how you relate with your co-workers and with God? 2. Do you agree with the comment that 'Atheism starts at home?' why or why not? 3. Why are father's and mothers constantly speaking about God, whether they want to be or not? 4. What do you hope the children of EMBC will know and experience about God? How are you knowing and experiencing those same things?
