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


THE CHURCH - Equipped by God

SERMON

Gary Aston will be preaching to us this week from 1 Corinthians 12, helping us to understand what it means for the church to be equipped by God.    

LITURGY

COMMITMENT READING

Father God, help us to live out our identity as the body of Christ. Equip us, by your Spirit, to use the gifts you have given us to grow and build up the body.

When one suffers, would we suffer alongside them. When one is honoured, would we rejoice with them. 

In all these things, equip us to help one another grow up into Christ, who is the head and who holds the whole body together. Amen.

(based on 1 Corinthians 12; Ephesians 4:15)

MUSIC

  • Look What God Has Done (Ghost Ship): A call to look again and remember all that God has done for us in Christ.
  • Made Alive (Citizens and Saints): A celebration of our new identity in Jesus, that we have been brought from death to life.
