Romans 5:1-8

How’s your heart?

Not your to-do list. Not how much you’ve accomplished this week. Not whether everyone around you thinks you’re doing fine.

How is your heart?

Romans 5 reminds us that our relationship with God isn’t built on our ability to get everything right. It begins and ends with grace.

“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1)

Peace with God doesn’t mean life suddenly becomes easy. We still face disappointments, grief, unanswered prayers, and seasons that stretch us beyond what we think we can bear. But we don’t walk through those seasons alone.

Paul writes that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance produces character, and character produces hope. Not because suffering itself is good, but because God doesn’t waste the hard parts of our lives. Somehow, even there, He is shaping us, strengthening us, and teaching us to trust Him more deeply.

Then Paul gives us this incredible truth:

“But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)

God didn’t wait until we had it all together before loving us. He loved us first. Before we had the right words, stronger faith, or better choices. Before we cleaned ourselves up.

Our spiritual walk was never meant to be about striving harder. It’s about walking with the God who already knows us completely and loves us fully.

So today, take a quiet moment to check in with your soul.

💬 When life gets hard, what helps you stay anchored in your faith?

“I love the Lord, because He has heard my voice and my supplications.” (Psalm 116:1)

Faith is often less about having unwavering certainty and more about remembering Who we turn to when life feels heavy. Gratitude isn’t pretending everything is fine. It’s recognizing God’s presence and faithfulness in the middle of real life.

The psalmist asks, “What shall I return to the Lord for all His bounty to me?” Perhaps the answer isn’t found in grand gestures, but in a life lived with gratitude, trust, and a willingness to keep walking with God through both joy and sorrow.

Sometimes the most profound prayer is simply remembering that God hears us.

💬 When you look back over your life, where have you seen God’s faithfulness carry you through?

LYRICS FOR 06.14.26

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
(hymn #49)
To God be the glory
great things He has done
So loved He the world that
He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life
an atonement for sin
And opened the life gate
that all may go in

Chorus
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done

Great things He has taught us
Great things He has done
And great our rejoicing
Through Jesus the Son
But purer and higher and greater will be
Our wonder our transport
When Jesus we see

Chorus
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the earth hear His voice
Praise the Lord praise the Lord
Let the people rejoice
O come to the Father
through Jesus the Son
And give Him the glory great things He has done

INDESCRIBABLE

From the highest of heights
to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of Fall
to the fragrance of Spring
Ev'ry creature unique
in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

CHORUS
Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God

All powerful untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told ev'ry lightning bolt
where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses
laden with snow
Who imagined the sun
and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us
the coolness of night
None can fathom

CHORUS

You are amazing God

CHORUS
Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees
As we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

REPEAT CHORUS

Ending
Indescribable uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky
And You know them by name
You are amazing God

Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart
And You love me the same
You are amazing God

You are amazing God
You are amazing God

YOU ARE GOD ALONE

You are not a god created
By human hands
You are not a god dependent
On any mortal man
You are not a god in need of
Anything we can give
By Your plan
That's just the way it is

CHORUS
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You're the only God whose power
None can contend
You're the only God whose name and
Praise will never end
You're the only God who's worthy
Of ev'rything we can give
You are God
That's just the way it is

CHORUS
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
You are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone

You're unchangeable You're unshakable
You're unstoppable that's what You are
You're unchangeable You're unshakable
You're unstoppable that's what You are
(REPEAT CHORUS & etc.)

END
And right now in the good times and bad
You are on Your throne You are God alone

GRATITUDE

All my words fall short
I got nothing new
How could I express
All my gratitude

I could sing these songs
As I often do
But every song must end
And You never do

CHORUS
So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

Verse 3
I’ve got one response
I’ve got just one move
With my arms stretched wide
I will worship You

CHORUS
So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah
Hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

BRIDGE
Come on my soul
Oh don’t you get shy on me
Lift up your song
‘Cause you’ve got a lion inside of those lungs
Get up and praise the Lord
(REPEAT)

CHORUS
So I throw up my hands
And praise You again and again
‘Cause all that I have is a hallelujah, hallelujah

And I know it’s not much
But I’ve nothing else fit for a king
Except for a heart singing hallelujah
Hallelujah

Clothing me in white
Bringing beauty from ashes
For You will have Your bride

Free of all her guilt
And rid of all her shame
And known by her true name
And it’s why I sing

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Today we honor the American flag and give thanks for the freedoms we enjoy. May we never take for granted the blessings we have or forget our responsibility to pray for our nation and one another.

“Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people He chose for His inheritance.”
Psalm 33:12

On this Flag Day, may we seek God’s wisdom, live with gratitude, and work toward being people of faith, integrity, and compassion.

LYRICS for 06.07.26

HERE IN THIS PLACE/GATHER US IN

Here in this place new light is streaming
Now is the darkness vanished away
See in this space
our fears and our dreamings
Brought here to you
in the light of this day

Gather us in, the lost and forsaken
Gather us in, the blind and the lame
Call to us now and we shall awaken
We shall arise at the sound of our name

Verse 2
We are the young,
our lives are a mystery
We are the old who yearn for your face
We have been sung
throughout all of history
Called to be light
to the whole human race

Gather us in, the rich and the haughty
Gather us in, the proud and the strong
Give us a heart so meek and so lowly
Give us the courage to enter the song

Verse 3
Here we will take the wine and the water
Here we will take the bread of new birth
Here you shall call your sons
and your daughters
Call us anew to be salt for the earth
Give us to drink the wine of compassion
Give us to eat the bread that is you
Nourish us well and teach us to fashion
Lives that are holy
and hearts that are true

Verse 4
Not in the dark of buildings confining
Not in some heaven light years away
But here in this place
the new light is shining
Now is the kingdom, now is the day

Gather us in and hold us forever
Gather us in and make us your own
Gather us in, all peoples together
Fire of love in our flesh and our bones

HOW GREAT IS OUR GOD

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice

He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice

Chorus
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End

The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Chorus
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

Chorus
How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS

Great is Thy faithfulness,
O God my Father
There is no shadow of turning with Thee
Thou changest not,
Thy compassions they fail not
As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be

CHORUS
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed

Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Summer and winter
And springtime and harvest
Sun moon and stars
In their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness,
Mercy and love

CHORUS
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

Pardon for sin
And a peace that endureth
Thy own dear presence
To cheer and to guide
Strength for today
And bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine,
With ten thousand beside

CHORUS
Great is Thy faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness
Morning by morning
New mercies I see
All I have needed
Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness
Lord unto me

ABIDE

For my waking breath
For my daily bread
I depend on You
I depend on You

For the sun to rise
For my sleep at night
I depend on You
I depend on You

You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that never runs dry
I’m the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Where the Spirit leads
As I’m following
I depend on You
I depend on You

For the victories
Still in front of me
I depend on You
I depend on You

You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that never runs dry
I’m the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure, my prize
I am Yours, forever You're mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

When I pass through death
As I enter rest
I depend on You
I depend on You
For eternal life
To be raised with Christ
I depend on You
I depend on You

Be my strength my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure, my prize
I am Yours, forever You're mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Oh…

Would You teach me
Would You teach me to abide

I depend on You
I depend on You
(repeat)

PSALM 23

The Lord's my Shepherd I'll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still still waters
His goodness restores my soul

CHORUS
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
(Descant:)
I will trust I will trust in You
I will trust I will trust in You
Endless mercy follows me
Goodness will lead me home

He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights
(CHORUS)

And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me
And Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know
(CHORUS 2x’s)

Sleep in on Sundays! We start a little later 🌞

Join us at Montezuma Chapel for coffee, conversation, and fellowship beginning at 11:00 AM, followed by worship at 11:30 AM.

We’re a Bible-centered church where faith is strengthened, fellowship is meaningful, and people become family.

Faith grows here.
Fellowship matters here.
Family is found here.

Pastor Scott’s thoughtful, Scripture-based messages help us understand God’s Word more deeply and apply it to everyday life. Together, we ask questions, learn from the Bible, and discover how God’s truth shapes the way we live, love, and serve.

It isn’t just how we worship on Sunday mornings. It’s how we live. We encourage one another, walk through life’s joys and challenges together, and grow in our relationship with Christ and each other.

Whether you’ve been in church your whole life, have been away for a while, or are simply looking for a place to belong, you’ll find a warm welcome here.

We’d love to meet you this Sunday.
