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: New relationships: to God and Self [Romans 12:1-21]
SERMON
Gary Aston will be preaching from God’s word to us starting up our series on Romans for the final time.
LITURGY
CALL TO WORSHIP
When we gather as a church like this we don’t just do so as a tradition.
Sundays are not a way to be religious people, doing religious things
No- Sundays start with God
When the church gathers we do so because God has called us
In Jesus he has come to show mercy to us
He started this and Sundays are part of our response to him
So please stand with me & join in reading the underlined portions of this call to worship
When the goodness and loving kindness of God our Saviour appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy.
He washed us by the regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
And so we have been justified by his grace so that we might become his heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
MUSIC
This is Amazing Grace (Phil Wickham): A song of wonder and amazement at the God of grace we gather to worship. A celebration of who God is and what he's done for us in Jesus.
There is a Fountain: A song with graphic imagery that reminds us of the lengths Jesus went to save us from our sin, the blood that was shed on our behalf.
