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 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 again.
- Examine the idea of grace as you understand and live it out today as a believer. Does this bring peace in your life with God, the body of Christ, and with those around you? If not, why not? If so, how can you help others cultivate it?
- How can we pray and encourage one another as we come together on Sunday and during the week to be counted worth of our calling?
- Pray for eschatology not to be something "inconsequential" to your faith, but the bedrock of your hope in the future that sustains, encouraged, and produces joy in your present circumstances.
- Pray for other churches to cling to biblical faith, hope, and love as the cultural tides continue to shift against the church.
- 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; Ben Gardner: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
