Preparing for worship on Sunday March 30, 2014

As we gather for worship tomorrow at NRN I am very encouraged in the Lord.  I feel that God has clearly spoken to me about our time of worship and especially the message that has been marinating in my spirit.  I hope you will invite someone to join you at church tomorrow.  It could be a life changing moment for them.

Here are the songs we are planning to sing tomorrow.  Enjoy a time of worship to prepare your heart to gather with others in the morning:



We begin with a warm welcome and then lift our voices in praise:





Our greeting time comes early in the worship today and we honor the Lord with our tithes and offerings as we join the worship team in singing:



We continue in our worship in song as we bring the prayer request cards to the altar in preparation of our 24 hour prayer vigil coming soon.



Now we enter into a time of prayer.  We conclude out prayer with a declaration of the greatest of our God:




A bumper clip will begin and I will stand to preach by rightly dividing the Word of God under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.


 
Part 3: Persistent Faith

Mark 5:21 – 43
A father whose daughter is dying; a woman who has been suffering with an illness for twelve years: two people with nothing in common expect that each were desperately in need of Jesus. In a matter of moments their lives would be intertwined for life. Both who demonstrate persistent faith as they pursue Jesus and seek his help. Faith is not passively acquiescing to the circumstances of life. Faith is the persistent pursuit of Jesus. It is fighting through the “crowds” and, at times, ignoring the counsel of those who have lost hope, believing that Jesus’ presence will make a difference.



We bring our time together with a conclusion in the sermon that will linger in our hearts.  Then we will follow the example of the early church to sing and song and then depart. 


Here is the final song we plan to sing:
