Scripture: Job 42:1-6, 10-17
1 Then Job answered the Lord:
2 "I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.
3 "Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.
4 "Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you declare to me.'
5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you;
6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
10 And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.
11 Then there came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house; they showed him sympathy and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money and a gold ring.
12 The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand donkeys.
13 He also had seven sons and three daughters.
14 He named the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch.
15 In all the land there were no women so beautiful as Job's daughters; and their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.
16 After this Job lived one hundred and forty years, and saw his children, and his children's children, four generations.
17 And Job died, old and full of days.
“Living By Faith”
Hymn #566
1. I care not today
what the morrow may bring,
If shadow or sunshine or rain.
The Lord, I know,
Ruleth o’er everything,
And all my worry is vain.
Living by faith in Jesus above;
Trusting confiding in His great Love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
2. Tho’ tempests may blow and
the storm clouds arise,
Obscuring the brightness of life,
I’m never alarmed at the overcast skies;
The Master looks on at the strife.
Living by faith in Jesus above;
Trusting confiding in His great Love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
3. I know that He safely will carry me thro’
No matter what evils betide.
Why should I then care, tho’ the tempest may blow,
If Jesus walks close to my side.
Living by faith in Jesus above;
Trusting confiding in His great Love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
4. Our Lord will return to this earth some sweet day;
Our troubles will then all be o’er.
The Master so gently will lead us away,
Beyond that blest heavenly shore.
Living by faith in Jesus above;
Trusting confiding in His great Love;
Safe from all harm in His sheltering arm,
I’m living by faith and feel no alarm.
“It is Well”
Hymn #554
When peace like a river
attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll,
Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
“It is well, it is well with my soul.”
It is well
with my soul.
It is well,
It is well with my soul.
Tho’ Satan should buffet,
Tho’ trials should come,
Let this blest assurance control,
That Christ hath regarded
My helpless estate,
And hath shed His own blood
For my soul.
It is well
with my soul.
It is well,
It is well with my soul.
My sin- O the bliss
Of this glorious tho’t
My sin- not in part, but the whole-
Is nailed to His cross,
And I bear it no more!
Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,
O my soul!
It is well
with my soul.
It is well,
It is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day
When the faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll,
The trump shall resound
And the Lord shall descend.
Even so-
It is well with my soul.
It is well
with my soul.
It is well,
It is well with my soul.
Scripture: Psalm 126
1 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream.
2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with shouts of joy; then it was said among the nations, "The Lord has done great things for them."
3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we rejoiced.
4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord, like the watercourses in the Negeb.
5 May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.
6 Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.
Offering
“Glory be to the Father”
Glory be to the Father,
And to the Son,
And to the Holy Ghost,
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and ever shall be,
World without end.
Amen, Amen.

Kid’s Verses
Scripture: Hebrews 7:23-28
23 Furthermore, the former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office;
24 but he holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.
25 Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
26 For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted above the heavens.
27 Unlike the other high priests, he has no need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for those of the people; this he did once for all when he offered himself.
28 For the law appoints as high priests those who are subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
“Peace Like a River”
1 I've got peace like a river,

I've got peace like a river,
I've got peace like a river,

2 I've got love like an ocean,
I've got love like an ocean,
I've got love like an ocean in my soul.
I've got love like an ocean,
I've got love like an ocean,
I've got love like an ocean in my soul.
3 I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain,
I've got joy like a fountain in my soul.
4 I've got peace like a river,
I've got love like an ocean,
I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul.
I've got peace like a river,
I've got love like an ocean,
I’ve got joy like a fountain in my soul.

Scripture: Mark 10:46-52
46 They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside.
47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
48 Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
49 Jesus stood still and said, "Call him here." And they called the blind man, saying to him, "Take heart; get up, he is calling you."
50 So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus.
51 Then Jesus said to him, "What do you want me to do for you?" The blind man said to him, "My teacher, let me see again."
52 Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.
