  16. Offerings

  17. 22- All the way my Saviour led me What have I to ask beside?Can I doubt His tender mercy,Who through life has been my Guide?Heavenly peace, divinest comfort,Here by faith in Him to dwell!For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well;For I know, whate’er befall me,Jesus doeth all things well.

  18. All the way my Savior leads me,Cheers each winding path I tread,Gives me grace for every trial,Feeds me with the living Bread.Though my weary steps may falterAnd my soul athirst may be,Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see;Gushing from the Rock before me,Lo! A spring of joy I see.

  19. All the way my Saviour led me Oh, the fullness of His love!Perfect rest to me is promisedIn my Father’s house above.When my spirit, clothed immortal,Wings its flight to realms of dayThis my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way;This my song through endless ages:Jesus led me all the way.

  21. The Wonders of God’s Names The Father Who Pities

  22. God- the Father who carries his children, in whom we can trust (Deut 1:30-31) God- the Father who pities his children, to whom we are grateful (Psalm 103:8-14). God- the Father who disciplines his children, in whom we recognise His true love (Deut 8:2-5) God- the Father who adopts us in whom we have redemption, forgiveness of sins and eternal security (Psalm 68:4-6).

  23. (Psalm 103:8-14) The Lordis merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy. 9 He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. 10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor punished us according to our iniquities. 11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; As far as the east is from the west,So far has He removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pities his children,So the Lord pities those who fear Him

  24. Psalm 103 reflects on God’s declaration of His self-identity given to Moses in Exodus 34:6-7 “The Lord, the Lord, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness ... forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin”

  25. Psalm 103 exalts the forgiving grace of God, in that, God himself does not deal with us as our sins deserve. He himself has ‘removed our transgression from us’ 1 Peter 2:24 says: “Christ himself bore our sins in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; ‘by his wounds you have been healed’”

  26. Psalm 103 colours the compassionate grace of God in dealing with our sins by using three metaphors; vv. 11. 12. 13; Vertical- For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for us Horizontal- As far the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions Relational- As father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.

  27. Just as a human father watches with loving understanding as his son struggles with some man-sized load, so our heavenly Father look down in pity on us in our weakness. He empathize with our weaknesses Heb 4:15

  28. Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name! Bless the LORD O my soul; and forget not all His benefits” Psalm 103:1-2

  29. The Stunning Story of the Father and His Lost Two Sons – Luke 15 A Law breaker A Law keeper

  30. Here is God, our Loving Father who pities his people, such fatherly compassionate love calls for our gratitude and praise.

  31. Bless the LORD, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless His Holy Name! Bless the LORD O my soul; and forget not all His benefits” Psalm 103:1-2

  32. 133 Father, I place into your handsThe things I cannot do,Father, I place into your handsThe things that I've been throughFather, I place into your handsThe way that I should go,For I know I always can trust you.

  33. Father, I place into your handsMy friends and family.Father, I place into your handsThe things that trouble me.Father, I place into your handsThe person I would be,For I know I always can trust you.

  34. Father, we love to see your face,We love to hear your voice.Father, we love to sing your praise; And in your name rejoiceFather, we love to walk with youAnd in your presence rest, For we know we always can trust you.

  35. Father, I want to be with youAnd do the things you do.Father, I want to speak the words That you are speaking too.Father, I want to love the onesThat you will draw to you,For I know that I am one with you

  36. Benediction Now unto Him who is able to keep Able to keep you from falling And present you faultless Before the presence of His glory With exceeding joy. To the only wise God Our Saviour Be glory and Majesty dominion and power Both now and forever, Amen.
