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 Mark 10:17-22. How does this story inform how we share the gospel?
- Look at Luke 18:18 and 23. How is this man described there? What kind of person was he? How should we share the gospel with these kinds of people based on Jesus’ example?
- Write out some practical takeaways that would shape how you share the gospel with an influential person. Who are influential people in your life (family, work, culture) that you have the opportunity to share the gospel with? Use this text to aid and encourage your evangelism with these people. Pray for these opportunities – that God would providentially work to give you opportunity, that God would give you strength to share the gospel with them, and that you would share the gospel with clarity.
- Pray for the church to be encouraged to share the gospel with influential people in our spheres.
- 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; Mark Krystyniak: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Dalton Vansell: teaching.
