Preparing for Worship on Sunday Dec. 30, 2012

I am really looking forward to church tomorrow as I bring the final message in the Advent Teaching Series at NRN.   Through out this series I have shared about the aspects of Jesus being the True Light of Christmas and tomorrow I bring a message about the Light of God's People.

Here are some of the worship ideas for tomorrow.  We will sing our praise to the Lord.

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden.                         No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed                      on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way,                               let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your                        heavenly Father.                                                   Matthew 5:14-16 (NLT)

When we think of what it looks like to be a Christian, many images and examples can come to mind, both good and bad. But we can boil it down to a few key ideas as to what a true Christ-follower should look like. It starts by acknowledging who God is, then understanding that He made us to find salvation in Him, then being transformed as we follow Him, then sharing the light of His life within us.
