Prepare (September 4, 2016)

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.

LITURGY

CONFESSION & ASSURANCE

Sovereign Lord, you have been so gracious with us in revealing to us your glory and generously giving us so many gifts. We confess that, in response, we are greedy and selfish with the things that you have given to us. We know that all of these, including money, time, and gifts, are given to us that we may glorify you. Yet so often we use them all for our own gain.

Forgive us for our sin and by Your Holy Spirit, empower us to surrender all we are to You and to use all we have for Your glory. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

MUSIC

  • Be Thou My Vision (Ascend the Hill): A prayer for God to be our vision, our delight, and our everything as week seek to live our lives as Christians. 

  • Behold Our God (Sovereign Grace): A song declaring the beauty and glory of God, calling us to look and behold Him.
