Redeemed sinners sing about their redemption. We do it every Sunday.
This Sunday we sing a new song about God's mercy.
Have a listen and then come ready to sing with us.
Not In Me
No list of sins I have not done,
No list of virtues I pursue,
No list of those I am not like,
Can earn myself a place with You.
O God! Be merciful to me—
I am a sinner through and through!
My only hope of righteousness
Is not in me, but only You.
No humble dress, no fervent prayer,
No lifted hands, no tearful song,
No recitation of the truth
Can justify a single wrong.
My righteousness is Jesus' life,
My debt was paid by Jesus' death,
My weary load was borne by Him
And he alone can give me rest.
No separation from the world,
No work I do, no gift I give,
Can cleanse my conscience, cleanse my hands;
I cannot cause my soul to live.
But Jesus died and rose again—
The pow'r of death is overthrown!
My God is merciful to me
And merciful in Christ alone.
Last Sunday Pastor Lucas preached on our desperation for God to grant us victory over sin and suffering. Since you and I have been brought into contact with the death of the greatest man that ever lived, we now stand victorious!
This past Sunday we officially welcomed Kyle Houlton as our newest Pastoral Resident. His family relocated here from our sister church in Tucson, Arizona with the hope of joining God in the advance of the gospel in Orange County. We have positioned Kyle to lead a future church plant in Santa Ana.
Kyle shared...
The opportunity for church planting in southern California is staggering. There are more lost Californians than we could together count in a year. People who need Jesus. People who need to hear the Gospel.
We asked God if we could be a part of bringing the gospel to Southern Californians and discovered you. Sovereign Grace Church of Orange. It has taken 3 years to get here and we couldn't be more excited and grateful. Thank you for your support, your faith, and your example.
God is doing something in Orange County that’s bigger than us.
Grant Sigafoos preached last Sunday from Matthew 11:1-19, asking the question "Has Jesus disappointed you?" Like John the Baptist, sometime even seeing isn't believing.
