BENEDICTION

“The Solid Rock”

My hope is built on nothing lessThan Jesus blood and righteousness.I dare not trust the sweetest frame,

But wholly trust in Jesus Name.

ChorusOn Christ the solid Rock I stand,All other ground is sinking sand;All other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils His lovely face,I rest on His unchanging grace.In every high and stormy gale,My anchor holds within the veil.

(Chorus)

His oath, His covenant, His blood,Support me in the whelming flood.

When all around my soul gives way,He then is all my Hope and Stay.

(Chorus)

When He shall come with trumpet sound,Oh may I then in Him be found.

Dressed in His righteousness alone,Faultless to stand before the throne.

(Chorus)

Reverend April JenkinsSermon Title: Looking for Jesus

Sermon Scripture Focus: Matthew 28:5-6

IntroductionAs Christians, we have been given a Great Commission to spread the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our world is looking for Jesus and we are assigned to show people the way to Jesus.

I. Do not be afraid. – Matthew 28:5 Romans 1:16 John 14:25-26 Acts 18:9-10 Luke 12:11-12 Jeremiah 1:8 Isaiah 35:4 Acts 4:13

II. Who is looking for Jesus? – Matthew 28:5b Matthew 28:4, 11-15 Luke 18:7-8 John 12:32

III. We have a charge to keep, a God to glorify. – Matthew 28:6 Matthew 28:18-20

Conclusion

MINISTER’S OUTLINE

We must remember that in this life people will continually be looking for Jesus. The Great Commission is still relevant today. All Christians must hold up the blood-stained banner, and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world.

Scripture TextMatthew 28:5-6

5 The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. 6 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.
