Worship Service

“Oh come, let us sing to the LORD! Let us shout joyfully to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving; let us shout joyfully to Him with psalms. For the LORD is the great God, and the great King above all gods.” ~Psalm 95:1-3

What a privilege to come and worship the Great I Am together! While every service isn’t exactly the same, we usually have some opening Scripture, announcements, a memory verse, singing, prayer requests and prayer time, and a sermon from God’s Word. May the Lord draw each one closer to Himself and work in powerful ways through His Spirit and Word!

This week, in our series on the Church and our journey through 1 Timothy, we turn to Chapter 5:3-16 in a sermon directed specifically to widows (and women in general). This is not so say that men need not pay attention, since these instructions are to be observed and applied by the entire Church. As we dig into this passage, we will see the differences between godly widows (godly women) who have set their hope on God and those widows (women) who have not learned to walk in obedience to Christ. This sermon, titled “The Evidence of A Life Well-Lived”, could be an uncomfortable one for some, but the truths of God’s Word must be proclaimed, believed, and applied if we are to truly be the Body of Christ we have been adopted into. May our hearts be tender to the Spirit’s work through the Word and may we live responsively to our Father’s instruction. He is good and His commands are good – for us individually and for us as His Church.

March’s Memory Verse:

“For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.” ~1 Timothy 4:10
