GRANT FISHBOOK, LEAD TEACHING PASTOR

The Jude Doxology
     ²⁴ Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, ²⁵ to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.

Now…

Now, unto him…

This is his promise to you from Isaiah 43:1–3
But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
      I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
When you pass through the waters,
      I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
      they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
      you will not be burned;
      the flames will not set you ablaze.
For I am the Lord your God,
      the Holy One of Israel, your Savior…”

Now, unto him…

Now unto him who is able…

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling…

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless…

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy…

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!
Acts 16:31

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior…

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.

Now unto him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen.

The second “Now unto Him”
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20–21
