Prepare your heart for our Sunday Morning Gathering by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together.

You will find tangible suggestions for putting scripture to action in your personal life and in our corporate body, links to the songs we will sing, and lyrics for you to prepare for our corporate singing.

Critically Think

• Read Genesis 2:7. Looking back through Genesis 1, how does God’s creation of man differ from his creation of the rest of the world?
• Read Matthew 10:28-31. Why do we not need to fear those who can destroy only the body?
• Read Deuteronomy 6:5. What command is given to Israel? How is Israel to obey this command?
• Read 2 Corinthians 4:16. As time passes, what is the difference between the “outer man” and the “inner man” for believers?

Prayerfully Meditate

• In considering Deuteronomy 6:5, how should the presence of the three terms heart, soul, and might affect the way we love God?
• How do you see God’s care for the human body in these verses?
• How do you see His care for ours souls in these verses?

Intentionally Act

• Considering the fuller context of 2 Corinthians 4, where should our hope be ultimately placed in this life? How should this impact the way you think about your body? How should this impact the way you think about your soul? 
• How are you stewarding the body that God has given you? How are you stewarding and caring for the soul that God has given you?
