As you prepare for Sunday let nothing keep you from being among your gathered church. As you come be prepared to worship by considering our sermon, scripture, prayer, songs and our response .
The Sermon;
As we gather this week we continue our journey through the life of Moses. Sunday we will explore water from a rock in Exodus 17 Come expecting to be reminded of the certainty of God's provision and fulfillment of His redemptive purpose in the lives of His chosen people.
The Scripture;
Two our pastor/leaders, Danny Moore and Nathan Sanderse will be reading scripture. Tomorrow we will be reading Eph 1:1-14 and 1 Sam 17:1-16 As your pastors/leaders read these text pay special attention to the perfect plan for our salvation and the amazing greatness of our God and Creator.
The Prayers;
Our pastors will lead in focused prayer that our hearts be made ready to receive the Gospel and that our passion for God will become the goal and ambition of our hearts, that we may battle sin by pursuing the superior pleasure of making much of God.
The Songs;
We desire the single identifiable characteristic of the music is the singing of the gathered church. Tomorrow our songs will be:
Oh Worship the King - He is King and He is worthy of worship! Being able to make much of God is the greatest of gifts. Only through the gospel can sinful man be made clean and thus be able to worship God and enjoy Him forever
When I Survey the Wondrous Cross- It is not possible to sing this hymn without a realization of our sin that made the cross a necessity. Focusing on the cross provides a real perspective on our sin and keeps us from pride- at the same time when we focus on the cross we are made aware of the unimaginable love of God for His redeemed, which gives me confidence and hope.
Amazing Love- what a wonderful response to our sinful estate! A wonderful merciful Saviour who completely accomplishes our total redemption. He makes it as though we have never sinned! We are clean and able to enjoy God for eternity.
And Can It Be- this song is our response to the glory. As the Apostle Paul never "got over" the gospel of Jesus, nor should we ever cease to be overwhelmed by the grace of God made known in His Son.
Expectation;
We are delighted to have our Haitian daughter church join us for worship tomorrow and to share our Lord's table together. Please prepare your heart to gather at the Lords table by thinking upon your sinfulness long enough to be sorrowful and then embracing with pure joy the removal of that sinful estate by the atoning work of Grace through Jesus death and resurrection.
Come tomorrow expecting God to renew your mind as you hear His word, sing His praises and pray with passion. Come ready to celebrate the freedom from bondage that is the reality of all who are redeemed.
