********************SHOW NOTES / QUOTES********************************
How “Loving the Lord your God with your … strength” is related to “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
How do you love your neighbor?
How is loving with your strength a natural culmination of that of the heart, soul and mind?
What are some practical ways you can use your talents to help those in need, whether it be in your community, or beyond?
My thoughts on the divisions in denominations due to the term, “works.”
How can one help those in need, if they are unable to do such in person, due to family or work obligations?
What are the gifts of the Holy Spirit? How would you use these gifts to help others?
1 Corinthians 12, 14; Isaiah 11:1-3, Galatians 5:22-23
No talent is too small. I had a quirky talent of writing parody songs, which has been used to give others laughter, as well as a teaching tool. I could not have come up with the idea of doing parody songs on my own.

FOR ALL THE SAINTS
Ralph Vaughan Williams, William W. How
For all the saints who from their labors rest
Who Thee by faith before the world confessed
Thy Name, O Jesus, be forever blest.
Alleluia, Alleluia,
Thou wast their rock, their fortress and their might
Thou, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight
Thou, in the darkness, drear, their one true light, Alleluia, Alleluia.
O may thy soldiers, faithful, true and bold
Fight as the saints, who nobly fought of old
And win, with them, the victor’s crown of gold, Alleluia!
O blest communion, fellowship divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one, in Thee, for all are Thine, Alleluia!
And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong. Alleluia! Alleluia!
The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors cometh rest
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest. Alleluia.
But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day
The saints triumphant rise in bright array
The King of Glory passes on His way Alleluia!
From earth’s wide bounds, from ocean’s farthest coast
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host
Singing to Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Alleluia, Alleluia!

THE DOOR (REV 3:20)
Nick Alexander
Based on Revelation 3:20
Behold the words of our Lord:
He stands and knocks at your Door!
If anyone would hear His voice,
If only they would make the choice
To open the Door, He’ll come in,
He’ll eat with you, you with Him,
Consider, it’s time, to let Him come in.
We wait for You, wait for You , O Lord!…

TO GOD BE THE GLORY
Fanny Crosby
To God, be the glory, Great things He hath done
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin
And opened the Life gates that all may go in.
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
To God be the glory, In the Lord we are free
Great things He has taught us,
Great things we can see
O perfect redemption, O perfect Delight
And great our rejoicing in the beam of His light

For the man who follows Jesus, all the days of His life
Who picks up His cross and walks with His God
A glorious inheritance awaits Him at the end
Where He will see and know His true Father
And the pearl of great price is in His Hands
So as for me I will press on in running the race
With my eyes fixed on Jesus, who inspires and perfects my faith.
I will fight the good fight with all my heart and soul
Until the day that I’m with Jesus, the day I’m fin’lly home
The day that I have won the crown.
He will approach the throne of his Father, with Jesus at His side
The Father will rise and say “Welcome Home”
“You’re a good and faithful servant, come home and take your reward
The battle’s done, come and take your rest
Stay with me, forevermore!
And the heavens will resound with a thunder of praise
The angels and the saints will shout for joy
And the Father will dance for his son has come home
Another warrior, returns from the fight
Another victory for the Lamb of God
