Prepare your heart for our Sunday Morning Gathering by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together.

You will find tangible suggestions for putting scripture to action in your personal life and in our corporate body, links to the songs we will sing, and lyrics for you to prepare for our corporate singing.

Please see the Preparing for the Sermon post for suggestions in thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.

Intentionally Act

  • Pray for wisdom in seeking to make less of yourself and make more of God from the sermon this week.
  • Think on all of the various situations we are to apply the principles of how we are to use and leave our rights for the sake of the gospel and the love of others. Pray that your eyes would be opened to how you abuse or demand your rights and harm the gospel.
  • Look for others in the church that you see who freely give of their rights and seek to have them help you apply these passages in your life. Look for others that you see struggling in giving up their rights and seek to come alongside them to strengthen and encoruage them with the preached Word.
  • Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
  • Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Adam Naler: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Bret Capranica: teaching.
