About this Episode

Opening Song: 

Call Upon Him by Rachael Lampa, Sandra McCracken, and Trillia Newbell

Lyrics:

Call upon Him call upon Him

There is power in the Name

Call upon Him call upon Him

There is power in the Name

 

When I don’t have the words

When the spirit hurts

When my sorrow’s too deep to understand

Will You hear my voice saying speak oh Lord

Mighty God Healing King take my hand

 

And in the night I pray

When I feel afraid

When there is no friend that I can see

Can You hold me safe

Can You break these chains

Prince of Peace Father please set me free

Passage: 

9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11 For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” 12 For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. 13 For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.”

14 How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? 15 And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” 16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed what he has heard from us?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.

(Romans 10:9–17 ESV)

Musical Reflection: 

All to Jesus I Surrender (SURRENDER) by Winfield S. Weeden

Reflection Notes: 

This tune was originally intended to have two-part harmonies on the verse and four-part harmonies of the refrain; the additional harmonic fullness adds to the repeated emphasis of the words “I surrender all.” 

Prayer:

Almighty God, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, you revealed the way of eternal life to every race and nation: Pour out this gift anew, that by the preaching of the Gospel your salvation may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.  Amen.
