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
- When you evaluate your one deeds and activity in the church, in what ways are they visibly active but maybe not spiritually vibrant?
- In what ways do you place greater worth on your name and reputation being on a cultural “list” than it being in the book of life? How can you cultivate a deeper conviction and devotion to Christ instead of the world?
- How have you assumed your spiritual life and so fallen into spiritual "sleepiness?"
- What is the difference between doing spiritual things and genuine spiritual growth? How can you keep your guard up and promote true growth in yourself and others?
- In what ways do you need to repent of thinking about the church through a cultural mindset and instead think biblically?
- 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: elder prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
