We also hold up the Leadership of Jesus is Lord Fellowship and pray that you will build a hedge of protection around their lives.
Praise and Worship:
Amazing Grace
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.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
'Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His word my hope secures;
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The world shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun refuse to shine;
But God, who called me here below,
Shall be forever mine.
When we've been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we'd first begun.
In The Garden
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
Refrain
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing.
Refrain
I’d stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling,
But He bids me go; through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling.
Refrain
Blessed Assurance
Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
Refrain
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.
Refrain
Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
Refrain
TITHES & OFFERINGS
In Matthew 10:42, Jesus promised: And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.

Crossing The Finish Line
Dr.Diana Brevan
I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith (1Tim 4:7)
TEXT: 1 Tim 4:5 - 10
2 Tim 4:5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.
2 Tim 4:6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
2 Tim 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
2 Tim 4:8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
2 Tim 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me:
2 Tim 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia
THE MARATHON RUNNER
When entering into a Marathon, there is a goal that is set in the runners mind months prior to the actual race. Much preparation, exercise, and sacrifice has been paid for by the athlete. The next several hours of the race will be the pay off for all the training that was put in.
The marathon runner has to note the proper diet, running shoes to wear, type of training, and the proper coaching to be a successful runner. The main goal for the marathon runner is “Crossing-the-finish-line.”
As the day of the actual race is coming, the marathon runner is in full training, but has to actually slow down the amount of running in order to be healthy enough to run the race. He needs to make sure he is getting enough sleep, the right foods, and cut his running to approx 50 percent the final week of the race.
At this point, it is noted that in the mind of the runner “doubt” kicks in. “Did I train enough for the race”, “Am I going to finish the race”, or “Will I place well in the race.”
A. FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT:
2 Tim 4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
The Apostle Paul compares Christians as a soldier, husbandman, sufferer, student, vessel, and a servant.
a. I have fought a good fight: Every Christian is going to have to fight their own spiritual battle. It may be there own fleshly desires, it may be a trial that God has to put them through, or it may be a trial that someone else puts you through. Regardless of the fight, you will come out victorious with your hands raised up in the air.
b. I have finished my course: The Apostle Paul said to “Walk by faith and not by sight.” Finishing what has been started is the key to our spiritual success. It’s not time to throw in the towel, but to stand up and take another step for Jesus.
c. I have kept the faith: Our faith is the one thing that no man can take away from us. It is tried on a daily basis, but faith has become embedded in our hearts and will carry us through every physical and spiritual battle
SEED THOUGHT: Too many times loneliness, a feeling of being unloved or unwanted can consume our soul. We are not alone, Jesus is right there to lift us up.
The Word of God is:
• A light unto our path
• The gate to heaven
• A guide for youth
• Comfort for the aged
• Food for the hunger
• Water for the thirsty
• Rest for the weary
• Hope for the unbeliever
• Salvation for the sinner
• And Grace for the Christian
B. FINISH HIS WORK:
John 4:34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work
a. My meat is to do the will of him: When the cyclists compete in a race, he is given a small cup of water to keep him going. That same cup of water can be compared to drink at the altar for the Holy Ghost.
b. To finish his work: The work that is called is to spread the gospel,be in prayer for others, and a servant unto the house of God. God has called each one of us to a specific duty to accomplish. God places us and uses us the same way a chess player uses his pieces during a game of chess, strategically.
The Fivefold use of the Word:
• Hold it= Hide it in your heart that we may not sin against God
• Study it= Minister to your self through study of the word
• Apply it= Put it into action
• Rightly divide it= Don’t let false doctrines come our way
• Preach it= Take the gospel to the streets, your work place, to our families
C. LAYING ASIDE EVERY WEIGHT:
Heb 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
a. Lay aside every weight: This takes an examination from our selves. To look what’s going on inside.
i. Only God and our selves know what is weighing us down. It will take prayer to get even further down to diagnose the spiritual dryness or callousness that can be affecting our souls.
b. Let us run with patience: The marathon runner has to pace himself to run the long distance. He has to be careful not to start too fastthat he may tire too quickly. And he must not start off too slowly that he falls behind.
1 Cor 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
i. The Apostle Paul is comparing the born again Christian to the marathon runner. The word rendered "patience" rather means, “perseverance.”
ii. We are to run the race without allowing ourselves to be “hindered” by any “obstructions,” and without giving out or fainting in the way. Encouraged by the example of the multitudes that have run the same race before us. We are to persevere as they did to the end.
Rev 22:14 Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.
c. The race that is set before us: When the marathon is about to begin. The course is laid out for the runners. The map is already in place.
i. The same thing for the Apostolic Born Again runner. God has placed a spiritual map before us to follow.
ii. The marathon runner follows cones, pylons, and other signs to keep his direction. The Christian needs prayer, the word of God, and an outpouring of the Holy Ghost to follow the path God has laid before him.
The Living Bible Translation:
Heb 12:1 Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.
D. LOOKING UNTO JESUS:
Heb 12:2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
a. Looking unto Jesus: Aphoroontes (NT:872). Those who ran were tokeep their eyes fixed on the mark of the prize; they must keep the goal in view.
i. That they should place all their hope and confidence in Christ, as their sole helper in this race of faith.
ii. That they should consider him their leader in this contest and imitate his example.
b. Finisher of our faith: Archeegos (NT:747), signifies, a general, captain or leader. The reference is to judge in the games, one whose business it was to admit the contenders, and to give the prize to the conqueror. Jesus is here represented as this officer; every Christian is a contender in this race of life, and for eternal life.
i. The heavenly course is begun under Jesus; and under him it is completed. He is the finisher, by awarding the prize to them that are faithful unto death.
ii. He is the finisher, awarding and giving the prize at the end of the race.
c. Set down at the right hand: Exalted to the highest place of dignity and honor. Jesus endured the most severe sufferings to which the human frame can be subjected, and the form of death which is regarded as the most shameful. So during all the severe trials to which you are exposed on account of your belief, patiently endure all-for the glorious rewards, the happiness and the triumph of heaven, are before you."
1 Peter 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
1 Peter 1:4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you
E. FORGETTING THOSE THINGS:
Phil 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forthunto those things which are before,
a. This one thing I do: Paul had one great aim and purpose of life. He did not attempt to mingle the world and religion, and to gain both.
i. A man will accomplish little who allows his mind to be distracted by a multiplicity of objects. A Christian will accomplish nothing who has not a single great aim and purpose of soul.
Phil 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
b. Forgetting those things which are behind: When running to secure the prize, he would not stop to look behind him to see how much ground he had run over, or who of his competitors had fallen or lingered in the way. He would keep his eye steadily on the prize, and strain every nerve that he might obtain it.
i. If his attention was diverted for a moment from that, it would hinder his flight, and might be the means of his losing the crown. So the apostle says it was with him. He looked onward to the prize.
ii. It was the single object in his view, and he did not allow his mind to be diverted from that by anything-not even by the contemplation of the past.
iii. He did not stop to think of the difficulties which he had overcome, or the troubles which he had met, but he thought of what was yet to be accomplished.
Rom 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
c. Reaching forth: (epekteinomenos) - stretching out after the things in front, with hand and foot, like a runner in a race the body bent forward.
i. Christians are humbled by the contrast between what they are and what they desire to be.
ii. As Christians, we should always strive to reach to higher stage of holiness, deeper revelation of the word, stronger sensitivity of moving with the Spirit of God.
1 Peter 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
F. PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK:
Phil 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
a. I Press toward the mark: (Press= to pursue) As he who was running a race did.
i. The "mark" means properly the object set up at a distance at which one looks or aims, and hence the goal, or post which was set up at the end of a race-course, and which was to be reached in order that the prize might be won. Here it means that which is at the end of the Christian race-in heaven.
b. For the prize of the high calling: The prize we are running for is; Is the crown of rejoicing, the crown of righteousness, the crown that is incorruptible, the crown of glory, and the crown of life
1 Peter 5:4 And when the chief Shepherd shall appear, ye shall receive a crown of glory that fadeth not away. Dr. Diana Brevan
