HOW GREAT THOU ART
Call to Worship: Psalm 48:9-11
This is my hope and prayer for us this morning, that our hearts and minds would be fixed on the steadfast love of God. A word of caution: it can be so easy to show up, sing the songs, sing under the Word as it is preached, respond in all of the culturally appropriate ways all the while having a heart, and mind that is far from God. If we are to see Jesus clearly this morning, that is not something that you can accomplish in your own strength, it is a gift of God. And this morning we’re going to teach you a new song that will give us language to sing with clarity about who Jesus is, what He has done, and how He calls us to live.
HOLY IS OUR GOD
HYMN OF HEAVEN
Sermon: Mark 8:22-9:1
Life in Christ is first death to self. One of the things my therapist said to me was, ‘You don’t need to like what God does with your obedience, but you are still called to be obedient.’ What a small thing it will be in light of the eternal weight of glory to lay down our lives and follow after the One who ‘for the joy set before Him endured the cross…’ Let’s fix our eyes on him, would you stand if you’re able, and we’ll sing together.
HOLY (JESUS YOU ARE)
Benediction
