Sunday at Home - A Letter from Pastor Ray Stamps

Saturday, 21 March 2020

Dear All,

Because of the "shelter in place" order (for Santa Clara County) we will not be having a worship service for the next three Sundays or the Workday on March 28th. If the order extends beyond April 7th, we will make other arrangements. We want to urge everyone to worship at home. I have listed several previous messages, which might be appropriate for this time. Just click on the links below. Feel free to reach out to me, if you would like to talk or are in need.

Looking to the Lord,

In the Garden - Hymn

Thursday, 01 August 2019

Lone Hill Staff

Shareables

- Verse One -

I come to the garden alone,

While the dew is still on the roses;

And the voice I hear, falling on my ear,

The Song of God discloses.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known.

- Verse Two -

He speaks, and the sound of His voice

Is so sweet the birds hush their singing;

And the melody that He gave to me

Within my heart is ringing.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known.

- Verse Three -

I’d stay in the garden with Him

Through the night a round me be falling;

But He bids me go, through the voice of woe;

His voice to me is calling.

And He walks with me, and He talks with me,

And He tells me I am His own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there

None other has ever known.

And Can It Be? - Hymn

Monday, 22 July 2019

Lone Hill Staff

Shareables

- Verse One -

And can it be that I should gain an interest in the Savior’s blood?

Died He for me who caused His pain!

For me, who Him to death pursued?

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God,

Shouldst die for me?

Amazing love! How can it be that Thou, my God,

Shouldst die for me?

- Verse Two -

He left His Father's throne above, so free, so infinite His grace.

Emptied Himself of all but love, and bled for Adam's helpless race.

'Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For O my God, it found out me!

'Tis mercy all, immense and free,

For O my God, it found out me!

- Verse Three -

Long my imprisoned spirit lay, fast bound in sin and nature's night;

Thine eye diffused a quick'ning ray;

I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

My chains fell off, my heart was free,

I rose, went forth, and followed Thee.

Verse Four -

No condemnation now I dread, Jesus, and all in Him, is mine;

Alive in Him, my living Head, and clothed in righteousness divine.

Bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown,

Through Christ, my own.

Bold I approach the eternal throne, and claim the crown,

Through Christ, my own.

Higher Ground - Hymn

Friday, 28 June 2019

Lone Hill Staff

Shareables

Verse One - I’m pressing on the upward way,

new heights I’m gaining ev’ry day;

still praying as I onward bound,

“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

by faith, on heaven's tableland,

a higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Verse Two - My heart has no desire to stay,

where doubts arise and fears dismay;

though some may dwell

where these abound,

my prayer, my aim is higher ground.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

by faith, on heaven's tableland,

a higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Verse Three - I want to live above the world,

though Satan's darts at me are hurled;

for faith has caught the joyful sound,

the song of saints on higher ground.

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

by faith, on heaven's tableland,

a higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Verse Four - I want to scale the utmost height

and catch a gleam of glory bright;

but still I'll pray till heav'n I've found,

"Lord, lead me on to higher ground."

Lord, lift me up and let me stand,

by faith, on heaven's tableland,

a higher plane than I have found;

Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.

Father's Day - Jeremiah 17:7-8

Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose trust is the Lord.

He is like a tree planted by water,

that sends out its roots by the stream,

and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green,

and is not anxious in the year of drought,

for it does not cease to bear fruit.

Day by Day - Hymn

Wednesday, 12 June 2019

Lone Hill Staff

Shareables

- Verse One -

Day by day and with each passing moment,

strength I find to meet my trials here;
Trusting in my Father’s wise bestowment,

I’ve no cause for worry or for fear.
He whose heart is kind beyond all measure

gives unto each day what He deems best—
lovingly, its part of pain and pleasure,

mingling toil with peace and rest.

- Verse Two -

Ev’ry day the Lord Himself is near me

with a special mercy for each hour;
All my cares He fain would bear, and cheer me,

He whose name is Counselor and Pow’r.
The protection of His child and treasure

is a charge that on Himself He laid;
“As your days, your strength shall be in measure,”

this the pledge to me He made.

- Verse Three -

Help me then in ev’ry tribulation

so to trust Your promises, O Lord,
That I lose not faith’s sweet consolation

offered me within Your holy Word.
Help me, Lord, when toil and trouble meeting,

e’re to take, as from the father’s hand,
One by one, the days, the moments fleeting,

till I reach the promised land.

“My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?”

The Original Good Friday

And Jesus uttered a loud cry and breathed His last… And when the centurion, who stood facing Him, saw that in this way He breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

But God shows His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
