Preparing for Worship on February 9 2014

Tomorrow: Pastor Gary Narron will preach the second part of the new teaching series while Pastor Rick is away on Sabbatical.

 

Three times a year, Israelites from all over Israel journeyed to Jerusalem to observe the so-called pilgrimage feasts: Passover in the spring, Pentecost in early summer, and Tabernacles in the fall. At these feasts, all Israel gathered to worship the Lord together as his united people. Worshippers traveled together in groups for safety. As they drew near to Jerusalem, they sang songs together in anticipation of the celebration that was to take place. This collection of songs, known as the Songs of Ascent, we know as Psalms 120-134.

In preparation for worship - join in and prepare your heart for worship as you sing:

 

 

Begin by singing LOUD to the LORD;

Begin to fill your heart with thanks to the LORD:



Now humble your heart before the LORD as you partake in communion.

That is what Scripture means where it says, “Abraham believed God. God accepted Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.” (Genesis 15:6)      And that’s not all. God called Abraham his friend.

 

 

Open your heart to receive the WORD of the LORD!
