HOW GREAT THOU ART
Call to Worship: Psalm 63:1-8
If you are here this morning with a heart like the Psalmist - desiring God, clinging to God - that is not something that you have created in and of yourself, that is a gift of God through the Holy Spirit to reshape your loves and desires, to aim your affections toward the person and work of Christ. And if you’re here this morning maybe for the first time, maybe you have been dragged here against your will, maybe you’re here because for as long as you can remember you go to church on Sunday, maybe you’re here feeling indifferent or apathetic to the things of the Lord - you too cannot create in yourself greater desire and affection for Christ. Let’s all use these next songs as prayers, asking the Holy Spirit to lift our eyes to treasure and love Jesus more deeply. This next song opened our gathering last week on Resurrection Sunday. We’ll sing these truths again about who Jesus is as ruling, reigning King.
FOREVER NOW A CROWN
GOD, YOU’RE SO GOOD
Sermon: John 16:4-15
Truth without feeling is cold and brittle. Feeling without truth is soft, We need to fill our minds with truth - but we also need our affections stirred for the person and work of Christ. Again, that is not a work that you can accomplish in yourself - that is the work of the Holy Spirit to give us eyes to see more of who Jesus is and to live in light of who he is and what he’s done. Would you stand if you’re able, we’ll sing together.
THE GREATNESS OF OUR GOD
ONLY A HOLY GOD
Benediction
