Hebrews 11
1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 39 And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise: 40 God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.

- Standing on the Promises of God #2792:23
Hold to God's Unchanging Hand
Time is filled with swift transition,
Naught of earth unmoved can stand,
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Refrain:
Hold to God’s unchanging hand,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand;
Build your hopes on things eternal,
Hold to God’s unchanging hand.
Trust in Him who will not leave you,
Whatsoever years may bring,
If by earthly friends forsaken
Still more closely to Him cling. (Refrain)
Covet not this world’s vain riches
That so rapidly decay,
Seek to gain the heav’nly treasures,
They will never pass away. (Refrain)
Where He Leads Me
Blessed Quietness
Joys are flowing like a river,
Since the Comforter has come;
He abides with us forever,
Makes the trusting heart his home.
Refrain:
Blessed quietness, Holy quietness,
What assurance in my soul;
On the stormy sea, Jesus speaks to me,
And the billows cease to roll.
Bringing life and health and gladness
All around his heav'nly Guest,
Conquered unbelief and sadness,
Changed our weariness to rest. (Refrain)
Like the rain that falls from heaven,
Like the sunlight from the sky,
So the Holy Spirit's given,
Coming on us from on high. (Refrain)

A Hymn is a Slice of Faith
At Ever Praise Music we believe that a hymn is a slice of faith,
written by ordinary people, for ordinary people,
on an extraordinary journey.
God has gifted countless numbers of people with songs
in their hearts. They shared their lyrics and melodies with us
in the form of sacred hymns. Take a closer look at one of these sacred hymns and you will find encouragement for your daily
walk of faith. Peruse the titles of a sacred hymnal and you will find clues as to the slice of someone's faith journey found in the hymn.
Hymns are examples of the spiritual fruit produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people, on an extraordinary journey.
This spiritual fruit, or faith fruit, is written by everyday people
who walked where we walk, felt what we have felt,
and often did what we have done. These hymns can encourage
us on our journey, lead us around obstacles,
teach us how to serve our neighbor, help us stand
against principalities and powers,
share with us the praise and glory of the Lord, and witness
to all of us about the goodness and mercy of Almighty God.>>>

Isaiah 40
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

Faith of Our Fathers
Faith of our fathers, living still,
In spite of dungeon, fire, and sword;
Oh, how our hearts beat high with joy
Whene’er we hear that glorious Word!
Refrain:
Faith of our fathers, holy faith!
We will be true to thee till death.
Our fathers, chained in prisons dark,
Were still in heart and conscience free;
How sweet would be their children’s fate,
If they, like them, could die for thee! (Refrain)
John 16

We Are One Body
Jesus Taught Us...
...That there is evil in the world, but He didn't dwell on it.
Jesus came that we might have life and have it more abundantly.
"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy:
I am come that they might have life,
and that they might have it more abundantly."
John 10:10
He chose the twelve disciples so that we could hear
the good news from many different perspectives.
The apostles who preached and wrote the books of the
New Testament wrote from different perspectives as well.
We should not declare one Gospel message
as superior to the others.
The Four Gospels teach us, in the broader sense,
that these eyewitnesses wrote the same message,
described the same story of the life of Jesus Christ,
but spoke to us from four different perspectives.
So many teachers of our present day, critique the good news
preached by others from a different perspective.
The Bible says "he that hath an ear, let him hear..."
The Holy Spirit is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow..>>>(read more)

Lamentations Chapter 3
21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. 22 It is of the Lord's mercies that we are

with them and God is forever faithful to His people. We can find inspiration, hope, joy, and peace if we meditate on the faithfulness of God.
2. Then, read the scripture from Lamentations 3:21-33. Let the song end.
3. As the song plays the second time, sing verses 1-3.
