Prepare (April 30, 2017)

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.


DNA - Nurture

SERMON

This week is the second week in our mini-series on DNA groups, looking at what they are and why we're launching them as a church. This week we'll be looking at the 'Nurture' aspect of DNA groups, as Tom Thrower preaches to us from Colossians 1:1-12 and Ephesians 4:11-16.

LITURGY

COMMITMENT READING

Father God we ask that you would fill us with the knowledge of your will, that we would walk in a manner worthy of the gospel, bearing fruit in every good work. We ask that you would equip us, by your Spirit, to build one another up in love.

Help us to speak the truth in love to one another, so that we grow up in every way into Jesus, the head of the church, who holds all things together. Amen.

(Based on Colossians 1:9-10, Ephesians 4:15-16).

MUSIC

  • Jesus is the Lord of All (Olly Knight): A new song to Redeemer, celebrating Jesus, the saviour we gather to worship, asserting his power and authority over all.

  • Come Ye Sinners Poor and Needy (Sojourn):  A call to come to Jesus in repentance, weak and sinful, knowing that he saves us and meets us in our need.
