Sunday, January 9 AM

Welcome to Sunnyside Baptist this morning. We're working on kind of changing our schedule around here a little bit, so bear with us. Michael had to leave. They may be on their way to the hospital right now.

So first and foremost, we particularly this morning, but we're probably gonna have a good morning.

So we appreciate your patience in that this morning. A few announcements as we get started this morning. We're not sure necessarily on the plans for our evening service tonight, but if we firm some things up, we will definitely send out something.

Probably on the loop on that.

Looking ahead to this Wednesday, things are probably still on schedule there. So meal at 545 this Wednesday, and then prayer for the adults and the TAG kids program at 630. Looking ahead to January 16th, truth group for the young adult people after the evening service that evening.

And then the next week, the Wilcox are gonna be in town and they're gonna be speaking in the evening service. They're missionaries that we've supported here at Sunnyside for a while. So they'll be speaking and then afterwards we'll have a cookie fellowship with them.

And then finally on the 30th of January, the last Sunday of the month, we'll have the Lord's Supper in the morning that morning. This week's fighter verse for memorization comes from Romans chapter 10,.

Verses on the name of the Lord will be saved. Preach, beautiful are the feet of few. So feel free to pick those up for,.

Also mentioned truth group earlier.

If you would be willing, group usually happens helping to provide a sign up link in your bulletin,.

Sign up for them. If you haven't listened to the first,.

I encourage you, if you wanna contribute any questions out there as well. Spence before we, we're gonna have that dad will. Oh Lord, our is your, we bow before you, glorious and blessing.

Come here this morning with, you are righteous in all your ways. Mercy to rest upon them this morning.

Lord, even as we are distractions in us.

And around us, Lord may even those distractions be a means for us to focus our attention on you, to bring those things to your throne of grace, to entrust the people that we love into your care, into your mercy.

And Lord, even ourselves, as we struggle against our own flesh, to despair, to feel like things are out of control, Lord help us to never give into that. For you reign, you are all powerful. All things are under your command.

And you are working in all things for your glory and for the good of your people. So father, we pray that you would help us this morning. Even in the little bit of time we have here together. Lord, may we together exalt your name and lift up Jesus our savior as Lord.

May we offer up to you the sacrifice of praise. Thank you for the blessing of being able to gather this morning. May you be pleased in the praises of your. So Lord, we offer ourselves to you this morning.

We all, may the, of our hearts,.

We pray these things in Jesus name for your glory.

Would you stand with me for our, 73, 18.

All in vain have I,.

And washed my hands in, stricken,.

And rebuked every morning. If I had said, I will speak thus, I would have betrayed the generation of your children. But when I thought how to understand this, it seemed to me a wearisome task. Until I went into the sanctuary of God, you have set them in slippery places.

Your worship hymnal, is gonna be a new, most of everyone, singing in praises to the Lord. And sure, page 200. If you have your Bibles with you this morning,.

Would you turn to, Isaiah? In the Old Testament, Isaiah chapter 13. And I'll be reading verses one through 12 this morning. So, 12. So this is the word of the Lord. Isaiah 13.

Concerning Babylon, saw a signal.

Gave the hand for them to enter the gate, my consecrated ones.

To execute, as of a great uproar of kingdoms,.

Of nations gathering together,.

Is mustering a host for the heavens.

The Lord and the weapons of his end. Hands will be feeble. They will be dismayed. Be in anguish, like a woman.

In their faces will be a flame, wrath, and fierce anguish, desolation,.

And to destroy its sinners from it.

For the stars of the heavens will be their light.

The sun will be dark at its rising.

And the moon will punish the world for its evil.

And the wicked for their iniquity.

I will put an end to the punishment of the pious.

I will make people more rare than fine gold.

And many of them will love, O fear.

In your word this morning, your word through your prophet, Isaiah.

Concerning that indeed, as you promised,.

That the day of the Lord was, that day did come.

For in the kingdom that thought itself.

To be invincible was removed. Lord, as we read these sobering words through the mouth of your prophet, Isaiah,.

We are reminded that when it will happen,.

That when you promise judgment, justice will occur. You will not let the guilty go free.

You also extend to those who would come to you. Lord, thank you for keeping us as your children. Will your judgment be on all who do not name you.

As Savior and Lord. Indeed, your wrath will be cruel. And for the sake of your glory and your name,.

To hold out the word of life, Jesus, and be saved. God, of a crooked and perverse generation,.

That in our words and in our deeds, we would always be pointing people to the grace that is in Christ. Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for your kindness toward us. May Jesus Christ be praised.

Long glory and honor and blessing. In Jesus' name we pray.

Amen.

You may be seated.

For our next, that's for our next song, after the next song, a vision, and then follow Christ to the grave. And glory and honor. See tonight beyond other needs and other needs about tonight. I tell you, but we encourage you to,.

A short time to be encouraged in the word.

So I want to dismiss from the end of this year of blessing.

But would you stand with me? Chapter 13, verses 20. Who brought again from the dead, our Lord Jesus, by the blood of the eternal covenant,.

Everything good, working in us that which is pleasing.

To whom be.
