A Special Welcome to our Guests We are so glad you have joined us today. We invite you to complete a visitor card from the pew rack and share it with us by dropping it in the offering plate or bringing it to the guest table in either the Welcome Center or Front Door Foyer following the service. Also at the guest tables, we have a church mug for you which will provide you a keepsake of your visit, and tell you more about the ministries of First Baptist. Worshipping with Children First Baptist desires to come alongside families as they raise their children to be all God is calling them to become. Several resources are available to aid your family as you worship together. Children age 3 and under may be dropped off on the 1st floor prior to the service to be part of our Preschool Extended Session, designed specifically for them. Pagers are provided to communicate with parents in case of an emergency. All children are invited to the front of the Sanctuary for a children’s sermon during the service. Children age 4 - Kindergarten are invited to attend Passage, our children’s worship experience, following the children’s sermon, or to remain with their families in the service. All Children are invited to worship using a children’s bulletin, which can be picked up at the entrances. Becoming a Member If you want to know more about having a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, feel free to talk with any of our ministers or most anyone in the pew. During our time of response you are welcomed and encouraged to come to the front of the church to meet with a minister to request baptism or to join the church. Our ministers will also be available following the service at each exit, or you may call the church office to request an appointment with any minister during the week. Restrooms are located in the hallway directly behind the choir loft. Hearing devices are available in the Reception Office courtesy of the Senior Adult Ministry. You can watch our 11 am service live each Sunday morning on The CW 20 or livestreamed at fbcknox.org. You can watch a replay of our 11 am worship service on Community Television each Friday at 8 am or anytime at fbcknox.org.

Sanctuary Choir I Saw the Cross of Jesus I saw the cross of Jesus, when burdened with my sin; I sought the cross of Jesus, to give me peace within; I brought my soul to Jesus, He cleansed it in His blood; and in the cross of Jesus, I found my peace with God.

Scripture Reading (Hebrews 7:26 - 8:2)

Courtney Carmichael

Such a high priest truly meets our need—one who is holy, blameless, pure, set apart from sinners, exalted above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. For the law appoints as high priests men in all their weakness; but the oath, which came after the law, appointed the Son, who has been made perfect forever. Now the main point of what we are saying is this: We do have such a high priest, who sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, and who serves in the sanctuary, the true tabernacle set up by the Lord, not by a mere human being.

Sanctuary Choir Bread of the World in Mercy Broken

Opportunities at First Baptist

by David Schwoebel

Bread of the world, in mercy broken, The wine of the soul, in mercy shed, By whom the words of life were spoken, And in whose death our sins are dead: Look on the heart by sorrow broken, The tears by sinners shed, Be by thy feast to us the token That by thy grace our souls are fed.

Sanctuary Choir In Christ Alone IN CHRIST ALONE

Bread of the world, in mercy broken, The wine of the soul, in mercy shed, By whom the words of life were spoken, And in whose death our sins are dead. Sermon

No guilt in life, no fear in death, this is the power of Christ in me. From life’s first cry to final breath Jesus commands my destiny. No power of hell, no human plan can ever pluck me from His hand, till He returns or calls me home, here in the power of Christ I stand. Tom Ogburn
