Sparrows
The sparrow’s not worried about tomorrow
Or the troubles to come
The lily’s not thinking about the seasons
The drought or the flood
The tree that’s planted by the water
Isn’t fazed by the fire
So why should I be
'Cause You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need
Before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love
No matter what the future brings
You take good care of me
The sun’s not worried about the winter
‘Cause soon it will pass
The light’s not thinking about the darkness
Or the shadow it casts
A heart that’s planted in forgiveness
Doesn’t dwell in the past
So why should I be
'Cause You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need
Before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love
No matter what the future brings
You take good care of me
I know there must be more
But I can’t get past Your kindness
I know there’s got to be more
But I can’t get past Your goodness
I know there must be more
But I can’t get past Your kindness
I know there’s got to be more
But I can’t get past Your goodness
You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need
Before I even ask a thing
And You hold me in Your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I’m carried in Your love
No matter what the future brings
You take good care of me

Pastor: Jesus said: “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction,
All: and many enter through it.

All: and only a few find it." (Matthew 7:13-14)

All: whoever enters through me will be saved. (John 10:9)
Hail O Once Rejected Jesus
Hail O once rejected Jesus
Hail O Galilean King
You who suffered to release us
You our free salvation bring
Hail O universal Savior
You have borne our sins and shame
By Your merits we find favor
Life is given through Your name
Paschal Lamb by God appointed
All our sins on You were laid
By almighty love anointed
You have full atonement made
Every sin has been forgiven
Through the virtue of Your blood
Open is the gate of heaven
Peace between mankind and God
Jesus hail enthroned in glory
There forever to abide
All the heavenly host adore You
Seated at your Fathers side
Where for sinners You are pleading
While our place preparing there
Ever for us interceding
Till we in Your glory share
Worship honor power and blessing
You are worthy to receive
Loudest praises without ceasing
We are privileged to give
While the bright angelic spirits
Robed in heavens resplendent rays
Help to sing our Saviors merits
Help to chant Immanuels praise
Scripture Reading
John 21:15-17 - When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” “Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.” Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.” The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?” He said, “Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you.” Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.

Message: I Am The Gate
John 10:7 - “I am the gate for the sheep.”
John 10:7 - Therefore Jesus said again, “Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.”
John 10:8-10 - All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:1-2 - “Very truly I tell you Pharisees, anyone who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber. The one who enters by the gate is the shepherd of the sheep.”
John 10:3–4 - The gatekeeper opens the gate for him, and the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them, and his sheep follow him because they know his voice.
John 10:5-6 - “But they will never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because they do not recognize a stranger’s voice.” Jesus used this figure of speech, but the Pharisees did not understand what he was telling them.
John 10:8–9 - “All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep have not listened to them. I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved.”
John 10:9 - “They will come in and go out, and find pasture.”

All: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Good Good Father
I've heard a thousand stories
Of what they think You’re like
But I've heard the tender whisper
Of love in the dead of night
You tell me that You’re pleased
And that I'm never alone
You're a Good Good Father
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am
It's who I am
It's who I am
I've seen many searching for answers
Far and wide
But I know
We're all searching for answers
Only You provide
'Cause You know just what we need
Before we say a word
You're a Good Good Father
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am
It's who I am
It's who I am
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us
Love so undeniable
I can hardly speak
Peace so unexplainable
I can hardly think
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
As You call me deeper still
Into love love love
You're a Good Good Father
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am
It's who I am
It's who I am
You're a Good Good Father
It's who You are
It's who You are
It's who You are
And I'm loved by You
It's who I am
It's who I am
It's who I am
You are perfect in all of Your ways
You are perfect in all of Your ways
