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.
ROMANS: Unity & Mission [Romans 15:1-13].
SERMON
Gary Aston will be preaching from Romans 15:1-13 to us continuing our series in Romans.
LITURGY
We've experienced the love of God, yet so often we find it difficult to love him and others in the way we should. Instead of loving others, for their good, we love them for what we'll get out of it. We seek our good instead of theirs.
Every week, at this point in our gathering, we take a moment to confess our sin before God. It's a time to admit our failing to him and celebrate the forgiveness we can know in Christ. Let's take a moment, in the quiet of our hearts to confession our lack of love for God and for others.
Let's read these words of assurance and encouragement about our God who has shown us what perfect love looks like:
C: Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God.
L: This is how God showed his love among us: he sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him.
C: This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loves us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
(Based on 1 John 4:7-12)
MUSIC
All I Have is Christ (Sovereign Grace Music): We will be singing a new song on Sunday which you can listen to and familiarise yourself with below!
O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing (Zach Sprowls): A new take on the old hymn, reminding us of the hope we have in the Gospel, that one day the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory.
