Prepare (October 9, 2016)

This blog gives you a glimpse into the upcoming Sunday Gathering. It's an opportunity to read through the passage we'll be studying together, pray through some of the liturgy we'll be using, and listen to a selection of the songs we’ll be singing.


ENCOUNTERS - Sickness

SERMON

This week Gary Aston will be preaching the penultimate sermon in our ENCOUNTERS series, which is all about meeting the real Jesus. He'll be helping us look through Mark 5:25-34 and Jesus' encounter with a sick woman. 

LITURGY

CALL TO WORSHIP

Truly our souls find rest in God; our salvation comes from him. Truly he is our rock and our salvation; he is our fortress, we will never be shaken.

Yes, our souls, find rest in God; our hope comes from him. Truly he is our rock and our salvation; he is our fortress, we will not be shaken.

Our salvation and honour depend on God; he is our mighty rock and refuge.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes.

Trust in him at all times, you people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge.

(Based on Psalm 62 and 118)

MUSIC

  • Shine into our Night (Sovereign Grace): A reminder of our fallen nature before God, a plea that he would shine his light into our darkened hearts.  

  • How Great Thou Art: A wonderful hymn expressing the awe and wonder of seeing God's presence in all of creation.
