22 Let the earth resound with Songs of praise To the Father’s pow’r and love. For the One who set each star in place Chose to set His heart on us. Let the Earth Resound Keith Getty, Stuart Townend 2006 Thankyou Music © CCLI:

23 To the One whose might gives victory Yet whose mercies never cease, As the tapestry of history Tells the story of His grace.

24 King immortal, Faithful God, Crowned with splendor, rich in love. Let the heavens and the earth resound With songs of praise to You.

25 Let the earth be stilled before the sight Of a Father’s sacrifice, That revealed the depths of love divine In the face of Jesus Christ.

26 Thru a life of full obedience, And a death in agony, He removed the rebel’s punishment And He set the pris’ner free.

27 King immortal, Faithful God, Crowned with splendor, rich in love. Let the heavens and the earth resound With songs of praise to You.

28 Let the earth resound with songs of faith At the wonder yet to come. When all sin and pain are put to death And the church and Christ are one.

29 When we stand as God’s great family And we meet the Father’s gaze And we share in His eternal joy As we join in ceaseless praise.

30 King immortal, Faithful God, Crowned with splendor, rich in love. Let the heavens and the earth resound With songs of praise to You.

40 Weak and wounded sinner, Lost and left to die: Raise your head for love is passing by. Come to Jesus, come to Jesus, Come to Jesus and live. Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus) Chris Rice © 2003 Clumsy Fly Music   CCLI:

41 Now your burden’s lifted and carried far away And precious blood has washed away the stain. So sing to Jesus, sing to Jesus, Sing to Jesus and live.

42 And remember when you walkLike a newborn baby, Don’t be afraid to crawl; And remember when you walk sometimes we fall. So fall on Jesus, fall on Jesus, Fall on Jesus and live.

43 Sometimes the way is lonely And steep and filled with pain; So if your sky is dark and pours with rain, Then cry to Jesus, cry to Jesus; Cry to Jesus and live.

44 And when the love spills over And music fills the night; And when you can’t contain the joy inside. Then dance to Jesus, dance to Jesus; Dance for Jesus and live.

45 And with your final heartbeat, Kiss the world goodbye; Then go in peace and laugh on glory’s side. And fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus and live. Fly to Jesus, fly to Jesus, Fly to Jesus and live. ♪ ♫ ♪

47 Matthew 22:23–32 (ESV) 23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, “Teacher, Moses said, ‘If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.’

48 Matthew 22:23–32 (ESV) 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh. 27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.”

49 Matthew 22:23–32(ESV) 29 But Jesus answered them, “You are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

50 Matthew 22:23–32(ESV) 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.”

52 WORLDVIEW

53 WORLDVIEW The sum total of our beliefs about the world, the “big picture” that directs our daily decisions and actions. Chuck Colson

54 PRESUPPOSITION: Something supposed or assumed beforehand;something taken for granted in advance. A. Through all of the factors I mentioned:  Family  Culture  Personal Experiences  Individual Personality Traits we develop an underlying set of beliefs that we often don't even recognize we have. These are called "presuppositions.“ E.g., Physical: Objects fall. Emotional: Love feels good. Spiritual: God exists.

55 .                             E.g., Have you ever read the book or seen the movie Alice in Wonderland? She falls down a rabbit hole to a world where most of the presuppositions she had applied any more.  She grows bigger and gets smaller by eating different things.  There is a croquet game where the balls are hedgehogs and the mallets are flamingos, and if you annoy the Queen who hosts the game--"Off with your head."  Later she meets a Duchess who sings to her baby and shakes it violently at the end of every line, when she hands the baby to Alice to nurse, it turns into a pig.

63 Romans 8:22–23 (ESV) 22 For we know that the whole creation has been groaning together in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for adoption as sons, the redemption of our bodies.

65 JESUS

66 JESUS 25 Then Jesus said to them, “You foolish people! You find it so hard to believe all that the prophets wrote in the Scriptures. 26 Wasn’t it clearly predicted that the Messiah would have to suffer all these things before entering his glory?” 27 Then Jesus took them through the writings of Moses and all the prophets, explaining from all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
