CALL TO WORSHIP: Psalm 16
KING OF KINGS
BE THOU MY VISION
Read and Pray in Response: Psalm 119:1-8
Sermon: Psalm 134
Worship is always costly. And the cost is always your life. Worship does not turn on and off but is the continuous outpouring of your life - all your affection, all your attention. And because worship is the continuous outpouring of your life, sin does not stop your worship, it redirects your worship to created things rather than the Creator. The cost of this worship always leads to death. But worship that is rightly aimed at God will still cost you your life, but for the follower of Jesus, dying to self always leads to life in Christ. We gather as people who can echo the hymn writer - that we are prone to wander, and we feel it. We gather to say to God and remind one another, here is our heart - our rightly ordered, rightly aimed worship - take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above. We are going to respond in songs of worship, that will fuel lives of worship. Let’s sing.
COME THOU FOUNT
LIVING HOPE
