Silas: The Faithful Brother

Silas: The Faithful Brother

Following Jesus was never meant to be a solo journey. God works through people—friends who encourage us, mentors who guide us, and partners who walk beside us through every season. In this series, Gospel Partners, we look at Barnabas, Silas, Timothy, and Priscilla & Aquila and see how God used ordinary relationships to do extraordinary things. These weren’t perfect people—they were faithful people who chose to do life and ministry together. Who am I walking with? Who is walking with me? Ministry was never meant to do alone.

Song for Today

Echo Holy
Stronger
Way Maker

Echo Holy

Verse 1
Gathered at the highest throne
Welcomed by a melody
An anthem I have always known
A song that’s always been in me

Pre-Chorus 1
All glory and honor
Dominion and power
To You

Chorus
A million angels fall
Face down on the floor
All to echo holy is the Lord
My heart can’t help but sing
With all of heaven roar
Forever echo holy is the Lord

Tag
Oh oh
Forever echo holy is the Lord

Verse 2
Memorized by every heart
Written in eternity
Every lifted voice a part
Joining in the symphony

Pre-Chorus 2
All glory and honor
Dominion and power
To You
All wisdom and wonder
Belong to no other
But You

Verse 3
Standing at the end of time
There before the throne of grace
Majesty before my eyes
I'll let it take my breath away

Stronger

Verse 1
There is Love that came for us
Humbled to a sinner's cross
You broke my shame and sinfulness
You rose again victorious

Verse 2
Faithfulness none can deny
Through the storm and through the fire
There is truth that sets me free
Jesus Christ who lives in me

Chorus
You are stronger
You are stronger
Sin is broken
You have saved me
It is written
Christ is risen
Jesus You are Lord of all

Verse 3
No beginning and no end
You're my hope and my defence
You came to seek and save the lost
You paid it all upon the cross

Bridge
So let Your Name be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
Be lifted higher
(REPEAT 4X)
