SONG
Jesus is the King, ruler over everything
Jesus is the one, promised one the Son of God
Jesus is the Lord, he’s the one you can’t ignore
Jesus, Jesus, he is the King. He is the King
He commanded the fisherman
Hey come follow me, and they did and they did, and they did because…
Jesus is the King….
He commanded the evil ones
Hey come out of him, and they did and they did, and they did because…
Jesus is the King….
He commanded the wind and waves
Hey be still be still, and they did and they did, and they did because…
Jesus is the King…
He promised that three days after death
He’d rise again, and He did and He did and He did because…
Jesus is the King…

THANKFUL?
Psalm 116:1-8 from the International Children’s Bible
I love the Lord because he listens to my prayers for help.
He paid attention to me.
So I will call to him for help as long as I live.
The ropes of death bound me.
The fear of death took hold of me.
I was troubled and sad.
Then I called out the name of the Lord.
I said, “Please, Lord, save me!”
The Lord is kind and does what is right.
Our God is merciful.
The Lord watches over the foolish.
When I was helpless, he saved me.
I said to myself, “Relax,
because the Lord takes care of you.”
Lord, you have saved me from death.
You have stopped my eyes from crying.
You have kept me from being defeated.

BIBLE READING
Luke 7:36-50 read by Lydia Panter
36 One of the Pharisees asked him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. 37 And behold, a woman of the city, who was a sinner, when she learned that he was reclining at table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of ointment, 38 and standing behind him at his feet, weeping, she began to wet his feet with her tears and wiped them with the hair of her head and kissed his feet and anointed them with the ointment. 39 Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what sort of woman this is who is touching him, for she is a sinner.” 40 And Jesus answering said to him, “Simon, I have something to say to you.” And he answered, “Say it, Teacher.”
41 “A certain money-lender had two debtors. One owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty. 42 When they could not pay, he cancelled the debt of both. Now which of them will love him more?” 43 Simon answered, “The one, I suppose, for whom he cancelled the larger debt.” And he said to him, “You have judged rightly.” 44 Then turning towards the woman he said to Simon, “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. 45 You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. 46 You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. 47 Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 48 And he said to her, “Your sins are forgiven.” 49 Then those who were at table with him began to say among themselves, “Who is this, who even forgives sins?” 50 And he said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

SONG
Thank you for saving me what can I say?
You are my everything. I will sing your praise.
You shed your blood for me; what a sacrifice!
You took my sin and shame, a sinner called by name.
Great is the Lord. Great is the Lord,
for we know your truth has set us free;
you’ve set your grace on me.
Mercy and grace are mine, forgiven is my sin.
Jesus my only hope, the Saviour of the world.
‘Great is the Lord’ we cry, ‘full of grace and truth’.
Your Word has let me see – thank you for saving me.
