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.
CHURCH PLANTING: Planting & prayer.
SERMON
Steve Timmis will be preaching from God’s word to us continuing in our series on church planting.
LITURGY
CONFESSION AND ASSURANCE
Even though we've experienced God's saving power in our lives we still choose to love other things before Him. We exchange the glory of God for worldly things. We orientate our lives around possessions, status, security. We love ourselves instead of God and centre lives on our pleasures and reputation. God tells us in his word that we've exchanged the truth about God for a lie, we've worshipped and served created things rather than the Creator. We love so many other things before God, the one who has given us everything and place our trust in them.
Take a moment to reflect on that, to reflect on where you put your trust and what you centre your life on. To confess your sin before God and seek his forgiveness.
Whilst we were still sinners, Jesus died for us, he took the wrath of God upon him for our sin, for our rebellion and yet we can now know freedom and salvation because of him.
MUSIC
My One Comfort (Dustin Kensrue): We will be learning a new song on Sunday, 'My One Comfort'. If you get the chance, have a listen to the song and come ready to worship together in the gathering.
Jesus Paid it All (Kings Kaleidoscope): A hymn that centers on the price Jesus paid to save us from our sin and the new life we are raised to in Christ.
