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.
Please see the Preparing for the Sermon post for suggestions in thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.
Intentionally Act
- Read 1 Thess 4:3-8.
- Where is sexual sin in your life? Prayerfully think through these verses and write down areas of sexual sin present in your life.
- Confess sexual sin in terms of how this passage describes it.
- Do you need to talk to brother or sister in the Lord to help you deal with the sexual sin in your life? If you are seeking to avoid that kind of conversation, you likely need to. If your conscience is numb to the obvious struggle you’re having you also need to talk with someone. Reach out to a more mature brother or sister, confess your sin, and seek to get help applying the truth of this passage (and others) by the grace of God and the help of the Holy Spirit.
- Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
- Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Terry Engling: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
