Preparation for Sunday, 1/10/2010
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!
Here is some scripture that goes well with the songs that we will sing this Sunday. 2 Corinthians 12:9, Psalm 135:1-2, 2 Corinthians 5:20-21, Galations 2:20, Romans 8:37-39
Songs:
Liturgy:
We will say a prayer of confession together in worship this week. Please spend some time meditating on the truth of these words before we meet together on Sunday.
Lord God, Creator of all -
You have spoken to us but we have shut out your voice.
Your word convicts us of our sin and our brokenness.
But we have tried to drown you out with the noise of this world.
We would rather hear our own named praised among men rather than the name of Jesus.
We prefer telling people about our petty accomplishments rather than speaking of your righteousness.
Lord, forgive us. Correct us.
Build in us a longing for your comforting voice.
Give us a thirst for your satisfying Word.
Give us joy in speaking your truth
to those that have not heard it.
I look forward to our time of corporate worship this Sunday.
Ben
