Prepare (May 28, 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.


EXODUS - You Shall Not Murder

SERMON

As Exodus is a big book we won’t read all of the Bible text in our Sunday gathering. Each week we will give you the full section of Exodus here on the blog for you to read in your own time. This is a great way to prepare your heart to hear from God’s word on a Sunday. We'll be slowing down a little now and taking a week to look at each of the 10 commandments. This week Tom Thrower will be preaching to us on murder from Exodus 20:13. 

LITURGY

CALL TO WORSHIP

God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and the mountains quake.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. God is within her, she will not fall; God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, and the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

(Based on Psalm 46:1-7)

MUSIC

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

  • It is Well: A beautiful reminder that in the midst of trouble, pain, worry and hurt we can know true peace in Jesus Christ and his saving work for us on the cross.
