PRAISE TO THE LORD THE ALMIGHTY-GOOD GOOD FATHER
Call To Worship: Psalm 17:15
One of the things we confess as we gather is that we are far too easily satisfied. We are satisfied with created things more than our Creator. The truth is we need God’s help to love God. We need God’s help to see God as the source of our life and joy, rather than a means to our life and our joy. So let’s pray that as we gather and sing today that God would help us to see and treasure Him together:
GREAT ARE YOU LORD
God is the giver of life and salvation. One of the things that we can wrongly believe as followers of Jesus is that we only need Jesus for our salvation. But we need Jesus every moment of every day as the One who saves us, keeps us, sustains us, and grows us up into maturity. This morning we’re going to teach you a new song that gives language to the ongoing work of Christ in our lives. Let’s sing together:
YET NOT I BUT THROUGH CHRIST IN ME
Sermon: Colossians 1:24-29
If you want a deep, rich, mature life, you will not always have an easy and comfortable life. If you want a deep, rich, and mature faith - a deep walk with the Lord - you will not have an easy and comfortable faith. But as followers of Jesus we know that when we lose our lives, we find our lives. When we die to ourselves, we live to Christ. So we can treasure Christ more than ourselves. We can grow together rather than isolate and withdrawal. We can live on God’s mission rather than our own mission because we being made mature and complete in Christ. Let’s stand and celebrate what Christ has done for us as His people…
LIVING HOPE
Benediction
