Prepare (August 7, 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.


Hebrews 12:1-2

SERMON

This week Gary will be preaching on Hebrews 12:1-2, exploring how we run the race of the Christian life looking to Jesus as the author and finisher of our faith.

LITURGY

CALL TO WORSHIP

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. 

Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. 

They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.                                                                                                                                   (Isaiah 40: 28-31)

MUSIC

  • You Alone Can Rescue (Matt Redman): A reminder that it's Christ who saves; He is the only one who can pull us out of our sin and restore us. 

  • See His Love (Tom Lockley): A reflection on the cross and the love that God's shown to us in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
