Easter Choir Presentation

“FORSAKEN”

Conducted by: Juliet Jao / Narrators: Carolyn Bugg and Joe Calpin

GBC Adult Choir Morning Service April 13, 2014

On Palm Sunday, Jesus rode into Jerusalem amid shouts of "Hosanna,

Blessed is He who comes in the name of The Lord!"

Anthem #1: Hosanna! We Sing!

But before even one week had passed, the same crowd came with torches and swords

to arrest Him.

Anthem #2: Torches and Swords

They put Jesus on trial and shouted, "Crucify Him!" Jesus, the Son of God,

was FORSAKEN!

Anthem #3: O, My Soul, What Darkness

Anthem #4: Death Lay Heavy

Anthem #5: God So Loved the World

On the third day, some women were told by the angel in front of Jesus' tomb,

"He has risen from the dead!"

Tragedy turned into triumph! Weeping turned into Joy!

Anthem #6: On the Third Day

Praise the Lord! Jesus the Savior, once FORSAKEN, is alive forevermore!

Anthem #7: Hallelujah Chorus

Sermon Topic: “A Sign of Things to Come” Scripture: John 12:12-28

Pastor Doug Martin Evening Service April 13, 2014

Scripture: (John 12:12-28, ESV)

Notes:

3

12 The next day the large crowd that had come to the feast heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem. 13 So they took branches of palm trees and went out to meet him, crying out, “Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, even the King of Israel!” 14 And Jesus found a young donkey and sat on it, just as it is written, 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion; behold, your king is coming, sitting on a donkey's colt!” 16 His disciples did not understand these things at first, but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things had been written about him and had been done to him. 17 The crowd that had been with him when he called Lazarus out of the tomb and raised him from the dead continued to bear witness. 18 The reason why the crowd went to meet him was that they heard he had done this sign. 19 So the Pharisees said to one another, “You see that you are gaining nothing. Look, the world has gone after him.” 20 Now among those who went up to worship at the feast were some Greeks. 21 So these came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and asked him, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.” 22 Philip went and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. 23 And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. 24 Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. 25 Whoever loves his life loses it, and whoever hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life. 26 If anyone serves me, he must follow me; and where I am, there will my servant be also. If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him. 27 “Now is my soul troubled. And what shall I say? ‘Father, save me from this hour’? But for this purpose I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven: “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.”

Jesus is compassionate to the needy, so shall we, as followers of Jesus, provide our love, care and teaching of Jesus Christ to those in need. In the orphanage ministry, we visit the orphanage, (bus-ride about 15 minutes from GBC to the orphanage) twice a month for one hour each time. Please note that some of the children are HIV carriers. However, HIV is not transmitted by casual contact. If you feel God calling you to make a commitment to work with and build relationships with orphans, you are welcome to join us.

A church-wide prayer meeting (in Chinese) will be held monthly (Wednesday following Lord's Supper Sunday) and focus on praying for the Senior Pastor selection.

Pray for GBC's Search for the New Senior Pastor

Our current Senior Pastor Stephen Lee will retire in June 2015. May God grant the Senior Pastor Selection Committee and deacons wisdom and discernment to go after God's heart. GBC brothers and sisters are asked to help by prayer:

1. On the Wednesday following each month's Lord's Supper Sunday, there will be a special prayer meeting at time in Coleman Hall (in Chinese) to pray about the new Senior Pastor. GBC encourages brothers and sisters to fast for dinner on those Wednesdays and to pray for Gods will.

2. The first Saturday of each month will be a church-wide prayer day. GBC brothers and sisters are asked to choose one of the day's meals to fast and pray for the search for the new senior pastor.
