SONGS OF PRAISE – AMAZING GRACE – BY Charles Schokman “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?”-                               1 Chronicles 17:16. While this prayer by King David teaches us a lesson of thanksgiving and humility, it is a passage that was used in a popular hymn written by John Newton. Have you ever wondered who wrote some of the most popular hymns? Have you wondered for what purpose they were written? There are hundreds of hymns in the world, some incredibly well-known across numerous countries. The growing popularity of these hymns may make one wonder, how or why they gained so much traction in their journey throughout the world.

SUNDAY CHOICE – No Greater Love – by Charles Schokman This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends – John 15:12-13  We are to love each other as Jesus loved us, and he loved us enough to give his life for us. We may not have to die for someone, but there are other ways to practice sacrificial love: listening, helping, encouraging, giving. Think of someone in particular who needs this kind of love today.
