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
- Do you think of life in the new creation as involving more responsibility than you have here? How should this shape our view of eternity and our life right now?
- Examine your heart in light of the third slave’s wicked and lazy heart towards his master. Spend time in repentance where there might be unconfessed pride or bitterness and ask God to give you a humble and diligent heart like the good and faithful slaves.
- What responsibilities has the Lord given you to be fruitful in as you await His return? How can you practice such faithful stewardship this week?
- 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: elder prayer & scripture reading; Campbell Bortel: teaching.
