Preparation for Sunday, November 8, 2009
As we corporately worship Jesus each week I hope that you find this blog to be helpful in your time of preparation.
Song Preparation: I encourage you listen to these songs each week so that you are familiar with them by the time we sing on Sunday. I always find that becoming more familiar with the lyrics to a song gives me more freedom to be led by the Holy Spirit as I worship. We won’t play these song exactly as they sound below but this is a good start!
Songs:
Liturgy:
Some focus scriptures as we sing “Your Grace is Enough” on Sunday will be Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 5:20b-21 and 2 Corinthians 12:9.
During our time of Confession our focus scripture will be Hebrews 3:12-14. Below is the prayer we will say together to confess our sins to the Lord. Feel free to meditate on this prayer before Sunday.
Leader:
God of exodus and wilderness,
God of refuge and help,
Hear us now as we make our confession to you.
Congregation:
In times of temptation
We forget what you have done for us.
You give us everything we need,
Yet we often remain unsatisfied;
And spoil what we have been given.
You show us the way we are to follow,
Yet we often continue on the path
Of self-indulgence and self-centeredness.
Forgive us, we pray
In the name of Jesus Christ,
Who, in spite of his temptations,
Was faithful to your saving word. Amen
I look forward to worshipping with you this Sunday. Grace and Peace!
Ben
