Love Lifted Me<br />
(Hymn 425)<br />
I was sink- ing deep in sin, Far from the peace-ful shore,<br />
Ver-y deep-ly stained with-in, Sink-ing to rise no more;<br />
But the mas-ter of the sea Heard my de-spair-ing cry,<br />
from the wa-ters lift-ed me; Now safe am I.<br />
Love lift-ed me, Love lift-ed me,<br />
When noth-ing else could help, Love lift-ed me; Love lift-ed me.<br />
Souls in dan-ger, look a-bove, Je-sus com-plete-ly saves;<br />
He will lift you by His love Out of the an-gry waves.<br />
He’s the Mas-ter of the sea, Bil-lows His will o-bey;<br />
He your sav-ior wants to be-Be saved to-day.<br />
Love lift-ed me, Love lift-ed me,<br />
Mission Statement<br />
The mission of Mount <strong>Zion</strong>, Church of God in Christ is to develop<br />
individuals to fully experience and cultivate God’s will for their<br />
life through personal commitment to a greater understanding of church<br />
growth; personal holiness; spiritual warfare; and the Lordship of Jesus<br />
Christ.<br />
To develop a right-now spirit of compassion to aid the poor and<br />
oppressed, and a priority to reach the unsaved and the un-churched.

hen David hears that Saul and Jonathan have died<br />
in battle, he mourns deeply for his friend Jonathan.<br />
But he also weeps for Saul, the man who: 1. tried to<br />
murder him in the palace; 2. tried to get the Philis-<br />
tines to kill him in battle; and 3. chased him through<br />
hills and caves in order to execute him. Why honor<br />
such a man?<br />
In David’s mind, submission to authority has little to<br />
do with the person in charge. In fact, when a young<br />
Amalekite tells David that he put Saul out of his mis-<br />
ery at the king’s request, David orders his execution,<br />
saying, “Your blood is on your own head, for your<br />
own mouth has testified against you, saying, ‘I have<br />
killed the LORD’S anointed’” (2Sam. 1:16).<br />
While leaders earn their influence, God gives them<br />
their authority. We owe our submission to whatever<br />
authorities God installs, regardless of who they may<br />
be (Rom. 13:1)<br />
LEADERSHIP LESSON<br />
The Authority Test:<br />
2 Samuel 1:17-27
MORNING GLORY<br />
The Church and World Missions<br />
“Go ye into all the world, and<br />
preach the gospel to every creature”<br />
(Mark 16:15)<br />
The church has certain tasks committed to it by Jesus.<br />
It has been commissioned to tell the story of God’s<br />
Mighty saving acts in Christ. God has been seeking to<br />
redeem man since he plunged into sin in the Garden of<br />
Eden. As God is “not willing that any should perish,<br />
but that all should come to repentance” (2 Peter 3:9), the Great Commission<br />
is the natural outflow of His character. Christianity is a missionary religion<br />
in its source and total design. The early disciples became missionaries<br />
because the gospel was for all men and because of the indwelling of the<br />
Holy Spirit, the Spirit of missions.<br />
The Great Commission was spoken by Our Lord. In the Markan account<br />
of the Commission, His focus is twofold:<br />
1. The scope—”Go ye into all the world.” Evangelism must be an all-out<br />
missionary thrust, and the church must evangelize the nations of the<br />
world. No geographical area, no culture, and no people are to be without<br />
the good news of Christ. The church must be extensive in its ministry.<br />
2. The method—”Preach the gospel to every creature.” Missions prospers<br />
where the gospel is genuinely heralded and experienced. Meaningful<br />
communications of the good news leads people into and experience of<br />
this grace of God made available through the death and resurrection of<br />
Christ.<br />
The extensive and intensive proclamation of the gospel is the all-out thrust<br />
of missions, but Christians must not stop with the preaching of the good<br />
news and the offering of forgiveness of sins to all who believe on Christ.<br />
They must “make disciples” by indoctrinating them in the teachings of their<br />
Savior and renewing their minds in the truths of God. The discharge of this<br />
task molds lifestyles and produces true Christian discipleship.
