No sweeter name than the name of Jesus,
No sweeter name have I ever known.
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus.
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus,
No sweeter name have I ever known.
No sweeter name than the Name of Jesus.
You are the life to my heart and my soul,
You are the light to the darkness around me,
You are the hope to the hopeless and broken,
You are the only truth and the way.
Jesus
Be Unto Your Name

We are a moment, You are forever,
Lord of the Ages, God before time.
We are a vapor, You are eternal,
Love everlasting, reigning on high.
Holy, holy, Lord God Almighty!
Worthy is the Lamb Who was slain!
Highest praises, honor and glory
Be unto Your name, be unto Your name.
We are the broken, You are the healer,
Jesus, Redeemer, Mighty to save.
You are the love song we'll sing forever,
Bowing before You, blessing Your name.
Scripture Reading Ezekiel 37:1-14
The Valley of Dry Bones
1 The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and set me down in the middle of the valley; it was full of bones. 2 And he led me around among them, and behold, there were very many on the surface of the valley, and behold, they were very dry. 3 And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.” 4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy over these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. 6 And I will lay sinews upon you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live, and you shall know that I am the Lord.”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a sound, and behold, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. 8 And I looked, and behold, there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them. But there was no breath in them. 9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to the breath, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are indeed cut off.’ 12 Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves and raise you from your graves, O my people. And I will bring you into the land of Israel. 13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves, and raise you from your graves, O my people. 14 And I will put my Spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I am the Lord; I have spoken, and I will do it, declares the Lord.”
Strengthen What Remains, for God Isn’t Done With Us Yet June Kalemkarian
Revelation 3:1-3
To the Church in Sardis
1 “And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The words of him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars.
“‘I know your works. You have the reputation of being alive, but you are dead. 2 Wake up, and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete in the sight of my God. 3 Remember, then, what you received and heard. Keep it, and repent. If you will not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come against you.
Hebrews 12:5-10
5 And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons?
“My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord,
nor be weary when reproved by him.
6 For the Lord disciplines the one he loves,
and chastises every son whom he receives.”
7 It is for discipline that you have to endure. God is treating you as sons. For what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8 If you are left without discipline, in which all have participated, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9 Besides this, we have had earthly fathers who disciplined us and we respected them. Shall we not much more be subject to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they disciplined us for a short time as it seemed best to them, but he disciplines us for our good, that we may share his holiness.
Luke 18:31
31 And taking the twelve, he said to them, “See, we are going up to Jerusalem, and everything that is written about the Son of Man by the prophets will be accomplished.

All Glory Be to Christ

Should nothing of our efforts stand,
No legacy survive;
Unless the Lord does raise the house
In vain its builders strive.
To you who boast tomorrow’s gain,
Tell me what is your life?
A mist that vanishes at dawn,
All glory be to Christ!
All glory be to Christ our king!
All glory be to Christ!
His rule and reign will ever sing,
All glory be to Christ!
His will be done, His kingdom come,
On earth as is above;
Who is Himself our daily bread,
Praise Him the Lord of love.
Let living water satisfy
The thirsty without price;
We’ll take a cup of kindness yet,
All glory be to Christ!
When on the day the great I AM,
The Faithful and the True;
The Lamb, who was for sinners slain,
Is making all things new.
Behold our God shall live with us
And be our steadfast light,
And we shall ere his people be,
All glory be to Christ!
Benediction
