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


EZEKIEL - A New Temple

SERMON

We'll be finishing off our Ezekiel sermon series this week and Tom Thrower will be preaching to us from Ezekiel 40-48. 

LITURGY

COMMITMENT READING

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

“Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God."

And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.

(Revelation 21:1-3, 22-23)

MUSIC

  • O God of Mercy Hear our Plea (Sovereign Grace):  A new song to us at Redeemer that pleas with God to answer our prayers. It reminds us that creation is groaning, longing for restoration and that we look forward to Christ's return. 

  • O God (Dustin Kensrue):  A song that affirms God's presence with us in the midst of all of life's situations.
