We hope you'll make a point to be in church with us tomorrow morning. There are some really good things in store, which will make for a little bit of a unique morning.
We'll sing as usual to open the time or worship together, and then the kids choir will sing after our greeting. It's always so good to incorporate the kids choir into our main corporate gatherings. If our church is actually the family of God, all ages from our families should take part in the worship from time to time. Tomorrow the kids will sing "Because You First Loved Me," and we'll worship by listening as they sing about the transforming love of God in the Gospel.
We'll also take the bread and cup of communion together before
preaching, which will be a time of reflection on the Gospel, and a time
of reminder that Christ's sacrifice has purchased us, washed away our
sins, and brings us to God.
After bread and cup, we'll
sing "Nothing But The Blood," which talks about these same things: "What
can wash away our sin?/What can make us whole again?/Nothing but the
blood of Jesus."
Jordan will preach from 1 Corinthians 1:10-17, on unity and divisions in the church. One point he'll be making is that the cross of Christ levels all of us, so that our pride doesn't elevate some people above others in God's family. So that we don't follow men over Christ, or think we're better because we follow such and such a teacher. We need Christ alone, and our job as a church is to make much of Christ together, and help each other do that when we gather together.
See you tomorrow at 9:00!
