Preparing for Corporate Worship  -  Sunday, April 27, 2025 
Services at 9:30 AM and 5:00 PM

Dear Friends,

 

We each know and can testify to the goodness of our God. We certainly experienced His kindness on Good Friday and Easter last week. Now we plan to come again and attend to His worship. Pray that His Spirit would rightly prepare our hearts for those glorious hours spent together in His house. 

​
-MORNING WORSHIP SERVICE
Pray for understanding and delight in Deuteronomy 6.20-25 in the morning. From this text we learn how to answer our children when they ask why we raise them as covenant children. In every age this is very significant - and our culture and times make it a very important Biblical truth to learn. 

​

------------------------​

Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6

 Text: Deuteronomy 6.20-25

Message:     “When They Ask”
 

Theme: Covenant child-rearing creates and answers their question, “Why this life?”
 

1. Creating the question: Why would they ask?

 
2. The first answer: Look what God has done

 

3. The second answer: Listen to what God has commanded


​​---------------------------------

EVENING WORSHIP SERVICE
Then also pray for an understanding of Deuteronomy 6.5 with Lord's day 34 to know the implications of the first commandment and putting God first in everyday life.

 

Responsive Reading of Proverbs 4
Scripture Reading: Deuteronomy 6.1-9

Confessional Reading: Lord’s Day 34

Text: Deuteronomy 6.5

Sermon:      “Who Is First?”                                           

                                                                        

Theme: Faith strives to an unchallenged love for God
 

1. Faith does not adulterate itself

 

2. Faith fixes on Him from the depth of our being

3. Faith fights all to do His will

                                        

​

             --------------------------------
So we have important and helpful truths to fill our hearts this Lord's day. Pray with me that our God would be very kind to us and grant us what we need.

Please pray for one another and for our gathering to celebrate the salvation given to us by Jesus Christ. May the Lord bless and care for each of you and your family members.

Please pray that all would be done to the glory of the Lord and for our good. Pray for strength 

May our kind and strong God bless and keep each of you toward the Lord's day upcoming.

 Please pray that each ear will be open, all hearts soft to receive, and our hands and feet and mouths ready to respond to all our God tells us. 

​


---------------
Would you all commit to pray for the peace of the Lord to calm the hearts of those who are facing some turmoil and challenge right now? As we know, the enemy is ever busy trying to draw our attention away from the joy of the Lord in the salvation Jesus has won for us. Pray that Jesus would increase in all things in our minds and hearts!

May you have a fruitful day and a joy about returning to the house of the Lord!

It will be a blessing to see you in church. Let's pray that the Lord is glorified in our gathering together and we each are edified in Christian truth​

May each of you know His great mercy!

 

May the Lord receive the honor and glory from everything we do.
 

May the Lord richly bless each of you as you prepare for the Lord's day.

--------------

Please be much in prayer for worship on the Lord's day 

 


---------------
There is no better place to be on Sunday!
